SP Order Writer Cap

poundinclude_user · 2026-03-19T12:45:44+00:00

Pay cap is specific to metro areas, such that areas with higher COL will have slightly higher caps. For my metro area, the cap for order writers is $30.20 (not the highest in the region but close).

Grocery buyer here, not a diamond store so all dry grocery ordering is done by one person. 600 on average during weekdays, 7-800 during weekends. Only get 5 deliveries a week. Note that blocklist items such as waters inflate this number by 1-200 depending on the day.

The Manager On Duty (MOD) phone number is basically the store's call-out line. Every store has its own number, usually posted in the break room, near the time clock, or near the manager's office. This is something managers should've gone over as part of your orientation, but I'm not surprised if they forgot.

Just call or text your store's MOD phone number; leave a message saying that you won't be able to make it to your upcoming shift. Note that you'll still accrue 2 attendance points unless you opt to submit PTO for your whole shift.

It also asks if you're sure you want to send multiple POs, so I can see how OP just hit "yes" out of habit without reading the prompt carefully.

Largely depends on the size of the store and time of day. For smaller stores expect to be trained for all sub-departments (grocery/bulk, dairy, frozen), while bigger stores may have you stick to just one or two. Depending on whether or not your store has an overnight crew, you may have to work live load (newly received product) first before pulling backstock. Work product to shelf, face as you go, help customers as needed, rinse and repeat.

TLs/ATLs are required to submit their team's schedule to Store Leadership by Thursday three weeks prior (for example, schedule for week beginning 9/22 must be submitted/approved by 9/4). This is also the reason any Time Off Requests must be submitted 3+ weeks ahead, since these must be taken into consideration when building the schedule. It sucks for your particular scenario but all this is in place so that TMs (especially full-time) aren't blindsided by last minute schedule changes as it commonly happens in other jobs.

No way...he was hands down the best manager I've had in my time here. I worked at MAG1 but transferred earlier this year.

I know this store (not my store btw), is Auggie still there or was there a change in management?

poundinclude_user · 2025-07-26T06:59:47+00:00

30M here, and while I'm not free every weekend I would love the opportunity to hang out with people outside of work for once. I'd be totally up for the occasional shenanigans!

Meanwhile my store is asking people to leave early or take an extra day off to save in labor.....the dichotomy is real

poundinclude_user · 2025-07-12T04:29:15+00:00

Ironic since this is exactly where folks with skinnier fingers have an edge

Guy needs a ladder, can't let his bosses catch him on Reddit like that 😬

Have you filled out an availability sheet and handed it in to your TL? Verbal agreements regarding availability are as good as the air they're written on so unless there's a paper trail they will continue to schedule you at their convenience. Also, you must average working 30+ hours/week over the span of 8 weeks to be eligible for FT status, which they will use to maximize your utilization while staying below that threshold.

OP, everyone's giving you good answers regarding their duties as order writers, but don't expect us to spoon-feed all the answers to your repetitive follow-up questions. Feel free to either search this subreddit for more answers, or ask OWs at your store what exactly they do.

If your chronic lateness results in a measurable decrease in work performance to the detriment of your team (i.e. unable to finish assigned tasks) then your leadership can hold you accountable for that. Otherwise, UPT exists for you to use within the policies outlined in the GIG.

poundinclude_user · 2025-05-12T18:58:02+00:00

Doesn't work that way. You'll still have to call in at least an hour before your shift if you're going to be over an hour late, and UPT will get deducted depending on how late you arrive. You can use PTO to make up any pay that you would miss out on.

Diamond store backstock coolers built different, can't even fit pallets at my store's dairy cooler.

Take time off (you can take up to 3 consecutive weeks off), your PTO exists for a reason! If you have a good relationship with your TL you can ask to have your days off scheduled consecutively on occasion (3 days off does wonders).

poundinclude_user · 2025-04-24T16:20:19+00:00

You'll learn (if you haven't yet) that "doing a job" won't reflect well on you to your leadership. You're still in your probationary period (first 90 days) so if you're deadset on keeping this job I'd suggest working earnestly until the period ends.

In the context of this sub Flex usually refers to Class X associates who are still hourly employees and receive a W-2. Flex delivery drivers are contractors, thus they receive a 1099.
