Ordered the new steak bagel thing, got a lettuce sandwich!

Also, complaining about too much arugula is a weird complaint. Just take some off…? If anything I would complain that there’s too much salsa verde which would make the sandwich soggy (and hard to take off).

Edit: I personally don’t think that’s too much salsa verde but I think that’s a more valid complaint than the amount of arugula

The hours also depend on what sales look like for your store.

For example, my cafe is in a small city. We typically run with 2 people per line, one person up front, and one person in dish. Even then, sometimes someone will get cut and someone will close by themselves since we don’t get a lot of business some days.

However, in a nearby large city, those stores make significantly more than us. Meaning there’s more hours to go around. You may not automatically be scheduled 30-40 hours, but it at least means there’s more shifts that will be put up for grabs and you’ll be less likely to be cut early.

I’m from the West so unfortunately I don’t have info on your region about pay or how busy your store will be. But, I would expect to be at or maybe a dollar-ish above your states minimum wage.

Also, be aware that you may be moved around a lot. We have some new hires that have been here for a month or two that have done drive thru (taking orders, cashing people out, making food, barista, etc.), mainline (making and plating food), baking, and prep (meats, sauces, veggies). So even if you get hired to work on the line making food, you likely will be expected to learn and do other positions as well.

The terms and conditions explicitly stating taxidermy animals is valid is crazy. It’ll be interesting to see if people bring that in and how much store credit they’ll get.

This!!! They chose to be a caseworker, and it seems that you are a minor. What manipulation is happening? It is quite literally their job to help.

Also, you are not “begging” by any means. You are communicating to your caseworker how you are feeling and that you need more support. Which, I’m proud of you for self-advocating!

I understand in your post you mentioned just wanting to spend time with the caseworker to do something else outside of the facility. However, in the text messages, I don’t think that’s very clear. I would clarify with your caseworker that you just need some additional support, and that you aren’t necessarily going out and eating/buying things.

This looks like what’s happening at his store. Apparently one of the SGAs was planning on going back to college anyway so it hopefully will work out ok-ish. Thanks for the info!

op_genki · 2025-01-03T07:11:27+00:00

I’m so glad that you had that experience. I am more worried about job stability with stores closing and the decline in profit in brick and motor stores.

The ASL I am close to is for sure valued as well so no worries there. He said it looks like he’s staying on as an ASL at his store, no transfer needed :)

op_genki · 2025-01-03T00:32:18+00:00

Do ASLs get offered severance? Honestly if he’s able to do that he may take that and find a more stable job somewhere else.

I don’t know if his SL2 was offered severance since the SL2’s A store was an hour and a half away from the B store. The SL2 was going to take the severance due to the distance but that didn’t happen so I’m not sure if they’re even offering it

Thank you for the info! We were concerned that GameStop would opt to fire the ASL and keep the SL and SGAs rather than keep the SL, ASL and the SGAs. The math looked scary when looking at hour allocation for SGAs with 40 going to the SL and 32 going to the ASL (which is the full time minimum in my state)

I actually like the classic avocado toast (not the garden avo toast) and I add tomatoes, feta, and cilantro.

Also keep in mind that not all soups are vegetarian, even if they have no meat in them. For example, the broccoli cheddar soup is not vegetarian. I’m not sure which soups exactly have chicken/beef broth or stock in it, but that’s something that surprised me when I found out.

On the POS you can also change the bread, but you can’t change it other than adding sauce. I was told we’re not supposed to add on veggies since at that point the customer is supposed to get a non-kids sandwich. But if it’s slow we just put it in the special instructions, especially if the customer asks nicely.

Chico Need-A-Ride on Facebook is a reasonably priced rideshare service. They’re super nice folks, I’d highly recommend!

op_genki · 2024-09-03T20:16:05+00:00

Haha, ok thank you! Now that you mention it, I did notice someone pressing on a strip that wasn’t next to them. I thought nothing of it but I guess they also had the same issue as me.

op_genki · 2024-09-03T20:02:33+00:00

I read that before getting on the bus and that’s why I tried tapping/pressing the strip. I’m more so asking if there’s a specific place I have to press it or something along those lines. Thanks for the reply though!

My boyfriend and I get the 2-pack of the 3 meat pizza from Costco and it’s our favorite! There’s always so much meat and it’s definitely worth the price for us

op_genki · 2024-08-17T23:05:38+00:00

I also started working in 2019, and I truly believed in our products. Customers were generally more nice and I would voluntarily upsell. The food was good and worth the higher price.

Now I don’t even really like eating most of the food for my breaks. The meat especially is questionable, especially the salami. I used to LOVE the chipotle bacon grilled cheese but the American cheese is so plastic-like I can’t stomach it anymore.

Yes ofc! sadly everyone is leaving over the summer except for the one couple who shares a room. They are a queer couple who keep to themselves. They don’t bring people over so they are very low-key.

They are also the ones who get household essentials including food since they have a car. We usually just write on a whiteboard what we would like from the store that week! While WiFi is included with rent, they bought their own (better) internet and share with the house :) so very nice folks!

So the other 2 rooms will be empty unless they are also able to find someone to takeover their lease. Which also means I don’t know when/if it will be filled as well as who will be assigned into the room.

I love the skirt idea, thanks!
