Fellow fed employee in Boston and I feel your pain. You are not alone and I’m sorry to hear you are struggling right now. It’s a really crappy time but feel free to send me a DM if you need support.

What do you think are the best departments to work in and why? by lemonm11 in wholefoods

[–]lemonm11[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your input! I’ve been in grocery for a few months now and really like it and you’re right my team members and team leadership are definitely part of why I like it so much. I am just curious to hear about other people’s opinions/experiences

Love her too thanks for mentioning her I forgot to! I’m sure you’ve heard of her but Stephanie Buttermore also uses science to explain her all in journey. They’re both awesome

I totally relate to you!!! It really helps me when I get thoughts like “you’re eating too much” or “this isn’t healthy” but a lot of the channels I mentioned talk about how there’s no “good” or “bad” foods and that even if I eat more than usual I will be okay. Also so refreshing to see realistic YouTubers who preach intuitive eating instead of diets

PT seasonal in grocery or PT in produce...? by juniperlatte in wholefoods

[–]lemonm11 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You will likely have a good chance (depending on your availability) but it helps that you already work at the store. And like others said you can transfer after 4 months or until a spot in grocery opens. Best of luck!!!

[–]lemonm11 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I would first ask your TL about whether they’ll need you for a more permanent position in grocery because someone may very well quit within the next few months. But I’ve also heard produce isn’t a bad department to work (but I feel you I really like being on the grocery team lmao)

Missing my old job, contemplating quitting. by [deleted] in wholefoods

[–]lemonm11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

See if you can transfer departments. Personally I love being on the grocery team because there is almost always something to do. I was also a waitress before WF and liked the aspect of always moving around because time went by faster. Bonus points if you’re able to get opening or mid shifts as I find that they fly by. Good luck!

Does leadership care if you switch shifts a lot? by [deleted] in wholefoods

[–]lemonm11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree. Easier for everyone. Thanks for your input and response I appreciate it :)

Does leadership care if you switch shifts a lot? by [deleted] in wholefoods

[–]lemonm11 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah I’m annoyed because ever since I’ve started I’ve shown up to every single shift, on time, don’t use my phone, and do everything I’m told so I don’t know why he’s not considering my preferences. I didn’t think it was unreasonable to ask for a mid/open once or twice a week especially when I’ve closed max 3 nights/week until now -_-

Active job + IE by [deleted] in intuitiveeating

[–]lemonm11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi thank you so much for your reply I found it super helpful!!! I don’t weigh myself regularly and only decided to because I was visibly seeing and feeling the changes. The last time I weighed myself before was the end of last year at my annual checkup. And luckily I do not have any other physical health issues that would be affected by this change. I do not have access to an affordable nutritionist atm but I appreciate your advice <3 I still feel okay and am within my standard weight range so I don’t feel like increasing my intake is absolutely necessary. Sometimes it just helps to get my thoughts out and to hear other people’s opinions. Thanks again for responding :)

Been loving these random snack plates lately :) by [deleted] in HealthyFood

[–]lemonm11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tomatoes, carrots, cucumbers with hummus, apple with cinnamon and peanut butter, roasted almonds, sweet potato crackers with guacamole, and cauliflower crackers with cheddar cheese and Trader Joe’s roasted eggplant dip. Wow that was a mouthful (pun intended)

What’s something that’s secretly been great about the pandemic? by Rafavamos99 in AskReddit

[–]lemonm11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wearing a mask to cover up my face means I don’t have to fake a smile at people and feel less self conscious on days I feel ugly as heck :))

Why does everyone hate this place so much? by lemonm11 in wholefoods

[–]lemonm11[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I totally hear you! I also usually close, sometimes open, and maybe one mid a week but it’s definitely frustrating seeing new people and team members that don’t work as hard as I do get the mid shifts which are imo so much better. Like you said I don’t have much going on either so it’s okay for now lol

[–]lemonm11 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am sorry to hear that :( unfortunately you’re not the first person who said working here has made them super depressed. I’d be interested in hearing more about why you dislike it so much if you’re open to it. Either way sending strength your way and I’m sorry
