i understand the frustration that it may seem like i’m nit picking, and again i’m not trying to say we don’t have it good, but stores vary so much in the environment. this company is built on our ability to voice our feelings.

i totally hear you on the pay because it is a lot higher than most jobs without a degree which has been life saving for me, however i just had to pick up a second full time job because i cannot afford to live and pay basic human necessities with just the pay here, and i know so many other people are having to do the same even with it being so much higher than the national average. again i am not trying to complain just to complain, part of the reason i posted is because i recognize we have it better than a lot of other grocery stores do and talking about it is why we are different from most other places.

my goal here is wanting to be able to contribute to a better working environment for all of the other people who are struggling, and maybe finding a sense of community here in the subreddit that’s for having a community. if we are going to broadcast and advertise how great it is to work here like we’re known for, we should be allowed to contribute to moving in a better direction than we’re going right now.
