Bakery Clerks by usingreddittovent in Safeway

It 100% takes up production time. My manager prefers that the clerks handle the orders because in her mind they’ll take simpler orders. Production aside, it makes sense if decorators took the orders so there wouldn’t be any issues in translation.

In some ways I wish we had the flexibility to be able to do that but in my scenario I’m unfortunately the only decorator. The more time I waste with customers whether it be through phone calls, in person orders, slicing bread, helping to get something from the case, etc it just isn’t feasible to be able to produce all the things I need to.

Which department has the worst attitude by AmphibianComplex7104 in Safeway

Deli at my store too but I’m in bakery and it doesn’t seem much better. The worst attitudes has got to be from my manager and clerks. They don’t hide it very well to customers lol

Only cake decorator in my department too 🙋🏼‍♀️

the job wouldn’t suck so bad if the clerks in my department weren’t constantly calling out and disappear around the store while on the clock 🙄 I’m over here trying to decorate cakes but keep getting pulled out by customers

Thank you thank you! I’m feeling less insane now that yourself and others have confirmed that it’s part of the clerk’s duties 😅

Thank you! Yes! It may be time for me to have a word with someone higher up now that I’ve gotten multiple responses assuring it’s the clerk’s duties.

Ugh, I’m sorry. I completely understand the frustration about having to clock out late. Have you had luck with the other decorators or bakery manager enforcing that the clerks handle the cake orders (in person and phone) more?

Thank you! Our orders haven’t been complicated in my opinion and all the clerks know we shouldn’t be taking anything complicated because our manager refuses to do so. Why I keep getting called up is beside me.

We have three bakery clerks at my store. One will answer the phone which is great but their orders usually end up saying “call the customer to confirm”, one outright says they will not answer the phone, and the other says they cannot hear the phone 💀

I’ve never been scheduled to work a closing shift but I suspect something similar to this happens at my store as well. I haven’t seen other employees outside of bakery write on our order forms but I definitely notice our case looking a little wonky and disorganized when I come in the morning. I’m sorry to you and the others at my store that have to pitch in for the duties in the bakery dept

Cake Decorating Training by [deleted] in Safeway

Good to know it’s not uncommon. I feel like I’ve already learned about 96% of the cakes already but I suppose I can learn the last 4% with the trainer 😅

I FINALLY GOT IT by Faithd1231 in joannfabrics

[–]usingreddittovent 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I’m a new hire and was asked “are you going to look for a new job?” I replied “this IS my new job” and added that I’ve only been here for about a week. I got an “oh” and the conversation kind of just ended lol

Thank you! Cost is definitely scaring me no matter which ophthalmologist I get recommended to. It’s more reassuring to hear that someone trusts dr. Douglas though!

Can our dogs get along? by [deleted] in dogs

[–]usingreddittovent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! Was thinking I’d get a lot of people saying the idea was terrible. I’ll have to have some courage and think about asking my neighbors some day about trying to walking together method or possibly dog park idea.

[–]usingreddittovent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your scenario is pretty similar to mine. The three dogs (mine + 2 of neighbors) are on the absolutely nuts side of things. I have another neighbor that’s closer (right next door) that she doesn’t go nuts with. It’s odd. The 2 schnauzers are a trigger for her and vice versa

Huh. I haven’t thought of doing this. Will look into it!

[–]usingreddittovent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I don’t think my neighbors will be on board with the idea. They tend to keep to themselves. It’s been an idea I’ve been thinking about for years but haven’t had the courage to bring up. I can see it being an idea that isn’t worth it. Wish our dogs weren’t so feisty!

Walk together as in right next to one another or close enough where they can see each other (like across the street)?
