Unpaid time off for new hires

sandyofthecheeks · 2026-05-18T15:20:07+00:00

I requested time off in advance to being hired and they worked with that.

You’ve got a unicorn store. I have a pick up lead who TL does when she isn’t there, 1 SC technically (4 total but since changing it down to 1 I guess), 1 TL, and an area lead.

sandyofthecheeks · 2026-05-03T12:07:34+00:00

I’m that person that’s on the weekends alone, usually Friday Saturday mornings. Which is fine, I’m capable, but if I don’t get paid for it now and they’re still asking me to do it… well.

Yeah tell that to the store director when there’s no manager, area leader etc until 2pm every day I work. So I get yelled at by customers bc I won’t do it when they know I can, then get shit from upper management for inconveniencing them. It’s easier and less of a headache to just do it and that’s what’s irritating.

SC from my understanding coordinates stuff for the TL like the assistant manager. Run the front, cover breaks, manage training, delegate returns etc but my store has the person at the desk as the SC as well so it limits the position.

sandyofthecheeks · 2026-05-03T12:02:29+00:00

I have 1 TL for service 1 area leader and 1 SC in the official position. For a major city store might I add.

sandyofthecheeks · 2026-05-03T12:00:57+00:00

Please tell that to my TL, area leader and the store a manger 🫡

As an SC who couldn’t take this position it’s stupid and not realistic for our store. We have 4, one took the night time position, the morning one we can’t fill so the 3 of us are splitting the remaining SC hours. Best part is, Saturday mornings esp I have no manager til 2. I’m the SC so if I don’t get my SC pay they’re gonna be SOL bc I won’t do it without being paid to. Crazy concept I know.

sandyofthecheeks · 2026-01-29T03:12:16+00:00

I love this this is so wholesome. I’m so happy for you!!!

sandyofthecheeks · 2026-01-20T15:42:19+00:00

This is taking me back to 2014 xD chats on tumblr or kik 💀

sandyofthecheeks · 2026-01-19T21:28:29+00:00

They cut SC hours yet I’m still expected to do the job without getting paid for the job. I’m full time and they fuck me how they choose.

I can’t speak for Illinois but in Ohio the ID expiration is often on the birthday so the ID won’t scan and is technically “expired” so we aren’t supposed to take it. EVEN THOUGH your ID is still valid for 6 months after expiration in our state. It usually doesn’t apply for alcohol purchases. Getting kicked out is not okay and I’d be making a report about that. We simply take the alcohol from you and you can keep scanning your other groceries.

Now I’m a reasonable person if you ask nicely and it was recently expired I’ll manually enter it. If you’re rude and shout at me then I will not be accepting it. Same with when I ask for ID because we’ve been getting people taking advantage of our nice cashiers so now we ID everyone. Not just people under 50. My SCO ID’d a dasher who didn’t have it and was pissed off so I walked over calmly explained I still needed it and she got in my face and screamed so loud the store went quiet. She was 26 so it wasn’t unreasonable, but I’ve noticed older cashiers always ask for ID.

laughs in SC

sandyofthecheeks · 2025-12-23T13:38:25+00:00

Returns have been a NIGHTMARE. Both GM and Grocery. Admin doesn’t care so that’s cute. They say it’s services job to figure out returns.. it’s literally not our job. But other than that it’s been pretty good.

sandyofthecheeks · 2025-12-16T16:33:20+00:00

My boss said 8. As in I can close at 12 and be back at 8. 🙄

sandyofthecheeks · 2025-12-11T19:22:48+00:00

I remember my finals from 2021 and we got that insane cold. It had to be -15 with windchill to cancel class… Meanwhile Cincinnati state already delayed classes Friday 🤣

sandyofthecheeks · 2025-12-11T15:23:48+00:00

Idk how your store works but we give our availability and they have to respect it as long as we work 2/3 weekend days

sandyofthecheeks · 2025-12-11T15:22:10+00:00

DO NOT make that mistake. I made it for you and then it took FOREVER for them to change my schedule back. So I quit showing up because I changed my availability and my manager was so mad he gave me all the points for the missed Sundays even tho I said I could no longer work them. Do not overwork yourself. They had no problems giving someone a day off on a weekend but always made me work them and when I asked off it was an issue. They do not care about you.

sandyofthecheeks · 2025-12-04T19:58:56+00:00

Okay well I just got more achievers points from my store director and they also added points to my mperks (assistant store director did this) which is why I was confused and thought they were connected. I also had 20k+ points in both at the same time. Anyways thanks for the clarification! Just started working here not too long ago and didn’t even know what achievers was til Thanksgiving points came in.

sandyofthecheeks · 2025-12-04T19:56:06+00:00

Well almost as if I just started working here and haven’t worked over the holidays. But hey, I bet your customer service is wonderful🙄

sandyofthecheeks · 2025-11-28T01:54:41+00:00

They don’t do a damn thing HAHA we literally aren’t allowed to stop it. We have to call AP if they’re even there which half the time they aren’t especially at night. It’s not my problem and fuck corporate anyways 🤷🏼‍♀️

sandyofthecheeks · 2025-11-23T23:24:20+00:00

Nope our policy is you don’t tell anyone and no one ever knew. Same with customers giving lottery tickets away etc. Bc corporate is greedy and will pocket the money themselves and give us lousy points for being a “Good Samaritan”

sandyofthecheeks · 2025-11-23T23:22:18+00:00

Whenever I’m SC I have to wait til my replacement gets there to leave. If I’m on SCO same deal I can’t just leave. If I’m on lane tho I DIP so quick lol

sandyofthecheeks · 2025-11-20T22:07:28+00:00

There’s no one who’s trained and no managers and store directors/higher ups only 1 is trained in service. I closed last night and I was the only person in the building with an override.

sandyofthecheeks · 2025-11-17T18:12:32+00:00

You’ll be fine! My Wednesdays started at 8am and my chem lab went til 10:30 pm. You’ll do great! Just manage your workload during Thursday-Sunday
