I for one am ecstatic this program is gone. In a weeks time my backstock has gone way down and it’s a pleasure ordering knowing everything is going to the shelves. I pray it never comes back

I completely understand that plans change sometimes. It’s just not fun having constant back to back hand offs because it’s 6pm and you have everyone that’s placed an order for that time AND like 4 more people who placed orders for this morning. Usually only one person can do them because the rest of the skeleton crew cannot afford to stop picking. And then you get nasty emails in the morning about on time hand off. Just a little thing that irritates me in a big way.

I know each store might be different but just trying to get a general idea of when shifts end and start

Safeway how the hell do you run a store with 1 cashier and one sco attendant??! Do they ever think why their sales sometimes go down because they don't properly staff their stores... Sometimes they forget the people who work the stores are the ones who actually make their money... And they wonder why their sales go down because there's no one to run the damn store.

Can someone educate me as to why I’d get “freshpass”?

Also - is this why the coke beverage products coupons only work every so often? Or are these unrelated.

Just curious, what are your guy's holiday pay? I'm wondering if its different for everyone because I was gonna work on holidays but after hearing my holiday pay (which is $1 more per hour), I was like hell nah and opted out of holidays

Have half an hour left, have an order for 3PL that hasn’t been picked up yet, was supposed too be picked up from 4 too 6, it’s almost 7:30, I look at the order and it says “Resolve vPOS exception” anyone know what this means, tried texting the Dug manager and she doesn’t know what it means

Can we talk about how it’s the holiday season, my department is making 15-22,000k a day and everyone’s hours are being cut? All management is doing is paying me more for overtime so jokes on them! 😂😂😂

Is it true we don’t get holiday pay if we call out a day before and or after thanksgiving ? (Arizona)

Henlo po, just wanna ask po if okay po magwork sa Safeway Philtech, thankieee

Anyone else getting their hours SLASHED? I know it’s normal for this time of year but I’ve been with the company for over 5 years and this year it’s worse than ever. Normally it’s only 5ish hours but now I’m getting 10+ cut. They say it’s due to sales but I’ve been told by many people, in and out of upper management that they do it for quarterly bonuses. Any thoughts?

Got my ASD to help pick some orders and we got everything done on time. Can't wait to do 5 boat orders this weekend.

Fellow Deli/HMR Clerks, are you guys still doing the “jerk style” chicken or is it on some sort of strike everywhere? Haven’t had any in a while, because the jerk sauce is on “strike”. Don’t miss the jerk jokes so fine by me😧

So just like every other safeway ever our dug department is a hot mess. My safeway delivers to boats, so we have a few boat orders a week. (These orders are thousands of dollars and usually have 400 items or so each). We have been told specifically, multiple times, to always substitute an out of stock item with whatever we can, even if it's more expensive. Somehow we have this one employee who's a backup lead that can barely do her job (she's been kicked out of deli for not being able to do her job). She's high all the time but somehow she's a backup lead. Basically she substituted a 40 dollar ham, which was out of stock, with 5 dollar mashed potatoes. There was more that was messed up with the order as well. I'm having to email OMs because they're pissed off that we lost out on like 200 dollars. On top of that I've had like 5 callouts today and while writing this I have another person leaving early (he's actually sick though so I don't mind that), so we have a total of 3 people, including me, for the last 6 hours of the day.

So I've been "promoted" to dug lead. I'll be posting more after work to rant.

As a DUG lead, I should know the answer but what is a “Partner Pick”?

Heard from my Manager today that FAR is done, and the company won't be turning it back on. Unclear if we are going back to the old B.R.I. system or if something new is on the horizon. That's the best news I've heard all week.

Pretty much just a rant. Customers can be EXTRA irritating during the holidays At pretty much every store I’ve worked at we’ve always had to stop letting customers in about 15-20 minutes before close on a holiday otherwise our cashiers will be stuck for an extra 30-40 minutes past their times because it’s soooo busy with all the last minute shoppers. Well today was no exception had absolutely insane lines and had to stop allowing entry.

Well of course the same as every single year… we’re getting cussed out. “Blah blah blah my family is more important that you workers who want to also go home to see ur families” type of shit

Sorry but it’s really not our fault that other grocery store companies decided to close and not be open, and Safeways the only store in town open, it’s also not OUR fault you waited until 15 fucking minutes before store close on a fucking THANKSGIVING day to do your important shopping for events u have going on.

Im a Dairy Manager at my store, and on TTuesday the 26th, I got a nearly 500 piece load, because I had my day off the day prior, and the manager over ordered because FAR is down. I completed the whole load plus 110 pieces of milk in around 9-10 hours. Is that good. I think i averaged 60 an hour.

When does our raise take effect?

Today I was scheduled a 9-5. Today I asked my asd if dug slows down could I leave at 4pm because I walk. (Hate retards on the road that can't and won't drive right). She said that was fine. So my crew and I knock out orders and km nick out delivery. My asd said I could take a half hour if I want for lunch. I tell my Pic and he said if it's busy when dug shuts down, then you can't leave because we'll need you. I told him what my asd said and he said he'd try and change it up. So I tell him I'm taking a half hour lunch with that it had been approved. He said to take an hour because he's going to have me bagging later. Well guess what...😀 your friendly neigjborhood velocurap took a half hour and is leaving at 4pm 😂.

Other people are getting pissed. My asd is getting pissed at him. First he says he wants dug done, but then says "we don't need 4 people on dug...we need some checkers and baggers or there will be no need in others staying late..." WTMFH? 🤨🤔

Hello, I’m 20 and don’t have a lot of skills and have alot of anxiety but I want to get into fresh cut as a first real job, I want to know if it’s hard to meet quotas Im not in a big city, I’m in a smaller town with about 10000 people so the quotas could be smaller but I’m worried I’m gonna struggle because I don’t have lot of hand eye coordination and am slow with cutting fruits or vegetables. Any advice or maybe suggest I take or don’t take the job and look for another one will be greatly appreciated!

Is the store usually busy the day after thanksgiving ?

Hope you all are hanging in there this week!Keep on keeping on!

Never forget, the store is open. They can come in and get it themselves. 💯

Hey managers, we all know how frustrating it is when shopping carts go missing. Replacing them is costly, and not all stores have wheel locks to prevent this issue.

Imagine having software that uses satellite imagery to locate carts up to half a mile away from your store. It could provide an address or even latitude and longitude if a cart is left in an open area. Wouldn't that be a game-changer?

Upvote if you think this could be a helpful tool in the future!
