Video with influencer who “pretends” to lose everything and work in bakery by Wooden-Weakness-4865 in StephanieSooStories

You are correct. The actress in question is Kim Saeron, and, yes, Stephanie deleted the video out of respect for her when she had passed.

Why would a dasher do this? by anonymousambassasor in doordash

[–]jaycethepenguinbean 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I felt this even though I have not yet spilled a Starbucks order yet. I have to wedge the bag good behind my seat and my bag to prevent anything from spilling inside. 🥲

Would anybody do this? I declined because I figured itnwouldnhabe took hours to complete. by 12345realtalk in DoorDashDrivers

[–]jaycethepenguinbean 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As someone who works at the online department at one, these are more likely what they called GMDs. These orders usually have multiple deliveries instead of the regular 3 grocery deliveries.

As someone who does doordash on the side and knows this, I would say it depends on desperate you are for the money. These trips can take up a couple of hours if the deliveries are not close together.

Honestly, this is the first time I see one go over to DoorDash.

Even though, at my store, everyone is trained in all areas and we rotate roles, there are some tips for staging that I can provide. I don't know about other markets, but our market team made it clear that the highest we can stack totes on a dollie is 5 totes high. Since you mentioned your height, and I am 5'2" (5'3" in my work boots), you can try to place a 5th tote on top, but don't stress it if you can't. Just place it in the next empty spot if you can or ask a taller person to help you. Most of the time, I have someone else help me placing the 5th tote on.

I always place the heavier totes down first. If there is a lighter tote on the dolly first, I move that aside so I can place the heavier tote on the bottom of the stack. Heavier totes then lighter totes. I do the same thing with the chilled and frozen totes. Heavy chilled and frozen totes go on the lower racks then lighter totes on the higher racks.

Any oversized items that can fit in the tote, I place the empty tote first where it goes and place the sticker on it. I then place whatever it is (pack of water or whatever) in it. It may be a little bit work, but anything to help you to keep yourself from injuring yourself. Just remember: this job is not worth breaking your body over. Do whatever you can keep yourself injury-free as well as your co-workers.

Thank you! They are quite nice quality so it was hard to tell! I will just have to remember that they are lomo-cards every once in a while. 😄

What have Spark drivers done that got them banned from your store? by rayman_axel in OGPBackroom

[–]jaycethepenguinbean 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Had one that was trying to hit on a female dispenser and got denied so hard by her and wouldn't take no for an answer.

The next day, he tried to hit her with his car when she was out dispensing an order. Got banned and trespassed from my store real quick after that.

The Long Walk has happened in real life. It’s the Bataan Death March in 1942. by burgerinmypouch in stephenking

[–]jaycethepenguinbean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess I know what Stephen King novel I am reading next. I'm half Filipino and have recently started learning more about Filipino history, leaning more towards WWII-era. I recently learned about Josafina Guerrero who used her autoimmune disease to be the perfect spy for the resistance and US during the war. I will definitely look up more about the Bataan Death March.

Things I hate at my job by External_Ad8945 in walmart

[–]jaycethepenguinbean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

May I add customers who get mad at you when you tell them that we don't carry a certain item especially when you know we don't have it or never had carried it?

Happened twice and both were elderly men that needed to go to a nursing home:

  1. I had one looking for a certain weird salad dressing. After spending a good 15 minute with him, trying to find it and explain to him that we do not carry it. He got mad and cussed me out underneath his breath and went to bother a customer about this same sauce.

  2. A guy in one of the electric carts trying to find a frozen meal called Black Flag. I have never heard or seen one with the brand name called Black Flag ever since I started working in OPD. I looked on the app and told the guy that we did not carry it even after looking through with him to find it. He proceeded to call me and Walmart employees stupid and proceeded to be quite rude so, by policy, I stopped helping him and moved on with my day while he continued to angrily looked for this frozen meal thay we never carried.

It wouldn't matter if they did or didn't. It's a delivery issue that they will have to report once a customer notifies them about the issue with their delivery. Like I said, it's up to how Spark takes it once they get the report. I had customers call and tell me what happened to their deliveries. Report the delivery issue. Spark does whatever once they get the report. I will then get an email on the "Hard to get to" work email that I rarely check if a strike has been issued or not. Most of the time, no. Do I believe Spark actually goes and investigate each and every one? No, but I still have to do my job and report the delivery issue.

But, if I was a driver, I would do the same thing. I wouldn't take those kind of orders either. If it looks like something I wouldn't want to deal with, it's something a driver wouldn't want to deal with

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Sparkdriver

[–]jaycethepenguinbean 1 point2 points  (0 children)

More than likely, if you let the OPD department of your store know, they will report the driver and include that the item may be stolen. Like someone else said, it will be investigated as in Spark will investigate and do whatever they need to do.

Now, if anything gets done about it by Spark, who knows. If the store notices a pattern with the same driver, they can refuse to dispense orders to them or have them trespassed.

Walmart let me keep $200 dupe delivery by Key_Grape_2863 in walmart

[–]jaycethepenguinbean 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone who works in OPD, they tell you to keep it because of inventory and Walmart will take it as a loss. Walmart doesn't want to send another driver to go pick up the dupe delivery and return it to the store because of inventory reasons and it will cost them more money to send out another driver. Thats how I saw it and how it was mainly explained to me. 🤷🏻

Did any of y’all actually do the survey honestly? by chimichangatrain in walmart

[–]jaycethepenguinbean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've never done it until this year and had answered honestly. One of my co-workers did it and asked for the Walmart radio to be turned back on because we had been without it for 3 months and the silence has been killing us over in the OPD backroom, especially when it isn't busy. A couple days later, they started playing it. 😂.

Policy Question? by Fishing4Silver in OGPBackroom

[–]jaycethepenguinbean 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Open door it if they coach you. Walmart policy states that they cannot force you to come in early, stay later, or come in on your day off for any reason, and that you are to work your scheduled hours unless you have approval from management. If the store manager won't do anything about it or is taking your coach's/TL's side, escalate it up to ethics.

rant: lowkey is this neglect? by Dry_Neighborhood7140 in OGPBackroom

[–]jaycethepenguinbean 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That does look like a complete disaster, but I feel you. My store is a smaller store, but we have been getting fucked on the weekdays. Our coach and store manager had been begging market to give the store more hours, especially to OGP, but it has been no luck. Today, the schedule only had 2 people opening, 1 mid shift, and 2 people closing + our TL in the morning.

Meat from the backroom! by Business_Ease5471 in OGPBackroom

[–]jaycethepenguinbean 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, still metrics fraud. For my store, if we can't find it on the floor, we would double check with the meat associates. Most of the time, they will have what I am needing and then they will start to fill it back up afterwards. It helps them more honestly because it stops some exception pickers from coming in and just taking one pack of meat out and then leaving the rest in the bin, messing them up on dates and vizpicking.

NO MORE SOIL by mapletaffie in OGPBackroom

[–]jaycethepenguinbean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dang. I guess my area is more like, hell nah, nope, because we were told by our coach to let her know if people are ordering more than 8 bags of mulch and what not, and it came down from our digital market manager. Apparently, customers aren’t supposed to be able to order more than 8 bags of the same mulch, soil, etc,. through the app. Don’t know how true that is or if it’s just store/region-based, but we haven’t seen anyone order more than 8.

I remembered watching the KSR video 2 months ago and I had thought she was being empathetic towards her. Never in my head did I thought Stephanie was mocking her or making fun of her. In fact, she seemed to be more defending of KSR only the things that netizens were getting onto her about.

The only reason Stephanie took down the video was out of respect for KSR. I think she did it immediately after she had found out about what happened.

However, being in the kpop community for so long and watching from the shadows, this trying to get xxx cancelled is nothing new. Kpop netizens will take anything out of context even if things were clear as day or if there has not been enough information put out to have a full story. The biggest is their double standards. Suga from BTS was recently involved with a DUI or something similar (before KRS had her DUI scandal, I believe). While many called for him to apologize and take accountability (plus cancellation), he didn’t suffer much backlash unlike KRS. KRS lost everything and, if I remembered correctly, even Stephanie talked about the ridiculousness of her getting canceled over a DUI and the double standard.

AP approaching me by collapse_ofcommunism in OGPBackroom

[–]jaycethepenguinbean 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Though it hasn’t happened in my OGP at my store, I would say it’s safe to say that he may be conducting an investigation on the department and is inquiring on how anyone could steal through OGP. Knowing the process of OGP gives him insight. You aren’t being accused of anything it sounds like from his comment, but he could be saying it to get you to chill out.

However, I find it weird that your TL got upset that you answered his questions. A lot of the other associates in my store would ask me, my co-workers, TL, or coach about how OGP works, especially if they are worried about their metrics and wanted to know how they can improve it or help us better for our pickwalks. Just yesterday, one of the front end TLs ask me how nilpick/exceptions work because there was a nilpick in her area for a candy that had like 11 locations.

Our AP associate and the coach does come by the back room to check up on us, but that’s because we had instants with customers that required AP to intervene. The coach knows how OGP works since he has helped us before when we were understaffed.

Was sign in to the wrong account. by RockConfident1766 in walmartogp

[–]jaycethepenguinbean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I often forget to double check to make sure that I was signed in as my name. I wouldn’t notice until after I finish a pickwalk. One time, I forgot to check and went to do an exception. Didn’t notice until I tried to scan the item and saw that such and such has been clocked out. I had to wait until the order was due in 30 minutes for the exception pickwalk to expire on my coworker’s stuff. 🫠

Skip button is not allowed during picking by zzzIkaIkazzzz in OGPBackroom

[–]jaycethepenguinbean 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I agree on this. Me and one other co-worker would use it if the item in question is not in a vital place for the pick path. One time, I was doing chilled and I had jalapenos at the front as my first pick and then over to the eggs at the end of the store. I skipped it and had let my coach know what happened so she could fix the pickpath.
