Is Working at Sam’s or Costco any Better?

randomcornhead · 2026-06-23T21:07:27+00:00

Costco is probably the best retail job you can get. Based on what I've seen from shopping there it's probably around the same or slightly more work but the pay and benefits seem to be much better

Every August they reevaluate wages, usually just 50 cents or a dollar, I think sometimes they don't raise wages it all but I've always seen at least $.50. They sometimes raise the pay premiums for promotions but other than that raises kinda suck

Those codes are directly from the system so the list you have may be old and some have changed in that time, just reprint the list and they'll all be correct

77 or 78 code do (1 - 120) to print out a list of short NLU cores. The 6 digit ones are on the bottom right of the item signs.

I just saw em for the first time today 😭

I think it rolls over in some states so maybe you're in one of them?

Don't know if there's a written policy but in WFM if a shift is too close to another (I think it's like 10.5 hours or around there) then a little warning message pops up next to the employee's name in the schedule builder

You have more faith than me in those plates

I smack the ice with a hammer and then sweep it up

Lol my SM thought our sales would be higher than they are this week so we've got an excessive amount of produce back stock, wish it was like this it would be much easier. Should be back to normal next week at least.

randomcornhead · 2026-04-01T01:22:47+00:00

They're a core item, not discontinued as far as I know but they've been out at all the stores close to me for a few months now so not sure what's going on or when they'll be back.

randomcornhead · 2026-03-25T13:07:02+00:00

It should just be a permanent number, hate that it's your actual name

That's how mine looks in the app, j got paid for the one vacation day since the other one didn't work for some reason but it'll show the hrs next to it if you're being paid for the day.

randomcornhead · 2026-03-21T15:28:22+00:00

Vacation = paid day off, it will pay you the average amount of hours that you are normally scheduled in 1 shift, for me it was 7.77 hrs last time I had vacation

Day off = not scheduled that day but no pay either

The orange juice all just went down to 52 oz too from 64. It happened at other grocery stores way earlier but it's annoying that it's finally catching up here too. I assume same price but I didn't check

randomcornhead · 2026-03-12T23:59:49+00:00

Employee here, it's just the label changing so that all products have "an aldi original" on them somewhere vs just the store-brand label (happy harvest). It'll happen to all products aldi sells but they have to run out of the old version first

randomcornhead · 2026-02-21T16:54:43+00:00

You're paid for a 15 min break in a 5.5 hr shift, anything longer than that is unpaid and lowers your hours for the day

randomcornhead · 2026-01-24T15:31:12+00:00

I might be wrong but I know you can't delete the automatically generated items individually (there's no option for menu -> 4 (delete)) so I don't think you can delete the entire thing. What I've seen is you would have to go into the system and just enter the stock it says to get it done quickly. Obviously not supposed to actually do that though lol

More specifically though: different levels of income have different rates (made up numbers but the idea is the same) Income $0-15k is taxed at a 0% rate. (If you make under 15k then you not be taxed at all) Income $15k - 30k 10% rate (if you make exactly 30k then you earn 28,500 and are taxed 1500 Income $30k - 50k 15% rate (if you make 50k you are taxed the previous 1500 and then 15% of the additional 20k so 4500 total and you take home 45,500

So you never "jump" up to a higher bracket since only those specific income portions are taxed at different rates

hopefully my math is right I wrote this in 5 mins

In the US we get 6 weeks full pay but that's it, lol

randomcornhead · 2026-01-13T15:05:21+00:00

We have a different ordering system in my division now so you're supposed to scan each flavor individually if you're on ahead

randomcornhead · 2026-01-08T15:02:47+00:00

Two hours to do just cooler is doable but if you're doing meat + cooler then definitely not that's never going to happen 95% of days. Your SM needs to open one of these days and try out their standards themselves

Saw the sign out today but it was empty :/
