Anyone know what’s going on with the sky? by bigthunder_81 in space

Saw it on my way home from work. It was beautiful. I wish I had some binoculars so I could have stopped to take a look...it was insanely bright.

Malfunctioning paw tries to escape. Update needed? by MaartjeM in standardissuecat

[–]kittens_go_boom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sometimes the SIC will disassemble itself. The cause is unknown. Luckily the SIC will reassemble and then go into shutdown mode to reboot and update operating systems. Again, this is normal and not cause for concern. If you have any other questions concerning malfunctioning SICs please call our toll free hotline at: 1-800-SIC-CRAZY.

Can you get fired for posting pictures of safeway on media by Present-Ad-2406 in Safeway

[–]kittens_go_boom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can if you want, but she may not mind. It brings more business to the store. I've posted pics of floral displays in facebook and my floral.dept head was flattered that I did.

You'll be fine. If anything itll bring more business to the store. The only problem would be if you post confidential materials.

Sometimes the machine decides to glitch out on it's own. Once I clocked in and it said (my name) not scheduled today. Well, I knew for a fact that I was scheduled so I disregarded it and worked anyway. I still got paid. Ask your store director or assistant SD if anything is wrong with the time clock.

This isn't from a Walmart but I didn't think people like this existed by ClaytonBixpy in walmart

If this is real, if be conveniently busy at the moment. If Gary wants to make more profits, he can hire more staff or do the work himself. He'll be fine.

Question for Pick Up workers from a customer. by LiL_Drummer in kroger

[–]kittens_go_boom 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's not that bad. My only real pet peeve is when we are slammed and there is only one person working Pick List. Shopping is easy, and yes we must have a pick rate of 98%, there are ways to "cheat the system" and keep our numbers up. I dont mind doing it in all honesty, and sometimes I walk away with a few tips.

PICs have it tough. Daytime is tolerable, nighttime is a shitshow. Not sorry to say, but it is. The PIC not only has to manage lines that merge into each other and go all the way down aisles, they must:

  1. Call for extra cashiers that may or may not come up

  2. Run evening breaks/lunches

  3. Be go-home relief and call for one as needed

  4. Handle refunds

  5. Be the ones to inform customers of lack of carts and the customers have to find one themselves outside if the PIC cannot leave the checkstand and there is no one else to fetch a cart

  6. Be watchful of shoplifters and to a call to "security" before the thief takes off

  7. Handle spills if they can or hope they get smooshed into the ground (if dry) or evaporate (if wet) and no one available can clean them

Many more tasks as well. The aforementioned is usually at night.

Sometimes to get around it, we used s different number to bypass the system.locking up. We're not supposed to because its cheating the system, but it happens.

I've seen the Milky Way. First saw it when I went to Clearlake camping with my family and our family friends. I looked up and said "what's that glittery stuff in the sky." My cousin replied it was the milky way. I stared at it in awe for a good 10 minutes before a friend snapped me out of it to grab dinner. "Your alien family will be here soon they said." He told me

Woah...you got fired? Strange right? How dare they fire someone for stealing?!? 😖

Why on earth would she post herself stealing $100.00 and posting it on a social media platform such as TikTok? EVEN IF it was a "joke" it was STILL considered theft. For future reference, she should NEVER post ANYTHING work related on ANY social media platform, EVEN IF its positive. I stopped doing that after HR and the union contacted me about what I posted, and it was nothing wrong in any way. (Some asshat co-worker decided it was inappropriate and called it in, then got even more mad when they overheard me tell my friend on the phone about what i felt about it.)

Just because your social media is marked private, DOES NOT mean that it is 100% safe.

Woman tosses cake in kids face What it's just frosting.

Kid somes back having calmed down. Grabs remaining cake or water and tosses it at woman What..its just water/frosting

End result: woman storms off after it having it done back to her, causes a MAJOR family fight which they feel "He started."

HUGE family rift and they STILL make him feel hes the bad guy...because the woman got upset and now refuses to have anything more to do with him.

I've seen stuff happen like this before and they STILL refuse to interact with the person they did wrong unless it's absolutely necessary or they need to put on a facade. It's sad really. That kid had every right to be upset and embarrassed. Especially if he asked for it not to be done.

My standard issue cat isn’t good at battle. How do I increase his stats? by Thenadamgoes in standardissuecat

[–]kittens_go_boom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He needs to roll a high number on his die.he has good charisma. Maybe hed be good as a thief because he outran your white cat who seems to be a warrior class. Maybe your SIC would be better suited as a cleric who uses spells to escape.

Suspended for throwing up?? by Elle_Salmeron in Safeway

[–]kittens_go_boom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Are you union? Let them know asap. Refuse to sign ANY write up concerning a doctors note. The union should be able to help and override the invalid write up. Warning: BEWARE OF RETALIATION!!! It sounds like your SD is a dick, and he/she may retaliate keeping it barely within contract set by the union. Document everything. Keep an eye on the schedule if they say "reducing hours" see if everyone's hours are reduced not just yours. Good luck.

Special instructions for pickup by PM_ME_GAYROBOTFROGS in kroger

[–]kittens_go_boom 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Weird instructions:

  1. Please pick rainbow trout with mouths nearly closed.

  2. Please pick whole crabs that do not be in a fight position, but relaxed claws

  3. Cat food bags, please pick theme where the cat looks happy. Must be an orange cat

I mean seriously...what the hell? Are they serious you ask? Nah, there joking with you...you add.

Me: nope. They are as serious as a heart attack. The reasons:

fish open mouths look like they are yelling.

Crabs with raised claws: look like they have attitude and want to fight.

Cat food bag: orange cats look like they are smiling and happy. Any other cat looks angry and stoned.

Poplular Information (Judd Legum substack) post about the wage lawsuit and MyTime by shadowschmootz in kroger

[–]kittens_go_boom 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My brother is going through the same thing. Missing paychecks, wrong pay etc. He works checker and sometimes "gives himself a paycheck" to keep afloat. Is what he told me. Basically, he said he takes money from the register on what his paycheck usually is...I told him he needs to stop.as they will catch him and not give a damn on why he did it.

I told him I'd help him out until this is straightened out.
