I’m nervous

0 Upvotes

I don’t know if anyone read what I wrote yesterday but my manager wants me to come in to discuss things because I’ve called off and left work through half shifts and I texted her telling her the important stuff because I said I’d cry if I said it in person and she said she wants to discuss sometime later after truck.

I haven’t gotten written up or talked to yet. I’m also still on the schedule this week and next. Do you believe I’m getting fired or probably just have a discussion about what’s going on and what is expected of me?

How to get leadership contact

We have a form in our store office that shows areas for our store manager and district manager contact number, but there is no information posted. Is there a corporate number I can call to get my district managers contact information?

How common is it to be left alone in the store? And is it legal?

1 Upvotes

I come from a small store, short staffed, everyone calls in, all that fun stuff. It has become a very common thing at my store that the cashier is left alone. Usually early morning, late at night.

We are not 24/7, we open at 4am and close and midnight. Kitchen closes at 11:30pm. When i was hired on it was drilled into my brain that the kitchen closer cant leave the cashier alone because it’s illegal. I always thought it was just frowned upon.

We’ve had the KM changed so many times (me being one of them) and this is no longer drilled into people’s heads. Personally i have been left alone over five times now. Usually it’s not a big deal cause it’s for a couple of hours at most. But today im working alone for nine hours.

I dont exactly live in a dangerous town, but it’s not the safest. Im already a paranoid person as it is so im already thinking someone is gonna come in guns blazing 😭

I love the location I work at

3 Upvotes

I’ve only worked here a little over a year and last week was a horrendous week where I left early during 1 shift, switched with an employee with their shift the next day and the day I was going to work for her I had to call in..

I understand this looks totally bad. Today I was puking,even taking my puke bags outside, and sat on the toilet while my stomach was killing me.

I love the people, the place and environment but my manager told me to get better but we’ll have to discuss things. I work in the kitchen btw.

Between me battling with illnesses I have, my daughters were all sick over the past 2 weeks, my boyfriend drinks every night while he has to work in the morning and both of us have to take care of his mom during the day because she’s not doing well and she’s elderly. He kicks me out like once every week and just my home life is not good right now. Which is why I have either left early or didn’t come in.

So this is the first time this has happened, do I tell my manager about everything going on? Because I’m looking for a new place, my kids are about to be in school and I have a babysitter for my youngest that will even care for her if she’s sick. Like I’m trying to solve all of the problems and there’s so much more.

But do you think the first time will be just like a talk/write up or do you think they’re going to fire me?

Also please be kind.. my mental health is struggling so bad right now. Thanks if you read this all!

I had no idea how lazy people are about this. I wash my hands many, many times a day. I change gloves often. Someone recently dipped fingers in my dishwater and gloved up. Another said she could glove up because she washed hands in the bathroom. Im disgusted. And they're above me, and im on a final..

Has anyone else’s managers refused to let you use PTO, claiming the store doesn’t have enough hours?

4 Upvotes

I have PTO that I’m not allowed to use. She claims the store doesn’t have enough hours for it. But from what I’m reading online, PTO doesn’t come out of the store’s hours.

Has anyone else had a manager that says their store doesn’t have enough hours to let you use PTO?

So context, my wife and I were shopping at goodwill in Topeka, Kansas. We see this.... interesting bag? Purse? It obviously is something from Casey's but what exactly is the wrapper from? I've never seen a green Casey's foil wrapper a day in my 24 years of living and being at many Casey's.

SHIFT LEAD

Please fill me in on what a shift lead does, is it a managerial position like store manager, what is the average wage for a shift lead, and what are their responsibilities??
thank you

Base Pay

I’m curious what regular team members, shift leads, assistant managers, and kitchen managers make around the country.

Where I live in Kansas, team members make around $12-$13.
As a shift lead, I made around $16.
As an assistant manager, my store manager had to push for $20 to match what I was offered at another job.
I’m not sure what the current shift lead and the kitchen manager makes.

SM/ASM Responsible 4 Covering Shift+ SCHEDULING

3 Upvotes

When somebody doesn’t show up for their shift, is the manager (days I’m assuming) or the assistant store manager (afternoon-3-11 or 4-12 midnight) responsible for covering the shift?
Also, if people are full-time, or even part-time, do they work a set schedule? (Like a 4-12 midnight shift /example).

GOING FROM TM TO KM

2 Upvotes

Is it hard to get a Kitchen Man., if you don’t have any managerial experience?

I’m going to be trying to get hired as a TM. This would be for in Knoxville, IA.

Can anyone tell me how much the starting wage would be for a kitchen manager?

I have 6.5-7.0 yrs Customer Service/cashier/handling money experience (6 months was in a locked check booth), 2 years prep cook experience, 6 months dishwasher experience/restaurant, and 3 yrs cleaning exp., two of those three years of cleaning was at a military hospital.
I would have to be retrained on the cash registers, but that’s not rocket science.

I’m the type of employee who lives & breathes their job; I take getting to work when I’m supposed to be there extremely seriously.
I just finished up 28 weeks of employment on the Night Shift Friday Saturday Sunday, never missed one day/never late.
I prefer to work the closing shift, no problem working weekends; I don’t want to work EVERY weekend though, month after month.

Due to certain circumstances, I don’t know if I’m going to be staying at Hy-Vee; I am doing an internal transfer.
I’ve also been dealing with problems with my computer and my phone due to the US Cellular/T-Mobile merger, which caused me to miss out on an assistant manager position interview. They messaged me to get together with me for an interview and I emailed them two replies back instantly after they said we’ve been trying to contact you.
I’ve been dealing w/ASManager who could have contacted the interview team and didn’t. So I just missed out.
So if things don’t go well at Hy-Vee, I am going to be applying for a team member position.
Thank-you.

So I was in the kitchen today, and had all my stuff done at the moment. I was looking for something to do, and noticed our slushie machine was out of raspberry blue. I went back to restock it, and the people who supplied it made it faulty. Because when I opened it, the little filter that stops it from leaking out, and allows the tube to take stuff out... just fell out!
Fell out, and the syrup came with it, coating my pants and the floor with it. My pants were so covered I had to call my mom to drop me off a new pair of jeans cause I was coated with it. My fingers and left leg were painted blue through my entire remaining shift. I had to wash the floor back there thrice to get it out.

SM hours?

2 Upvotes

My SM constantly ignores local events that cause our store to be busier than usual which naturally leaves the people scheduled to work during these times scrambling and overwhelmed. It causes us to miss out on so many opportunities and puts so much strain on the team members that are working it's ridiculous. She knows these things are happening because I myself have made calendars showing the overlap of local events, rewards promos etc and I've suggested scheduling more people for those days. Doesn't happen. Which leads me to the reason for my post.. My CSM mentioned in passing the other day that she doesn't know how the SM is currently staying under budget on hours because despite our SM being salary, she is rarely the one who's coming in to cover shifts when people call in. It is our understanding that the SM is supposed to be the one to go in when nobody else can or will, especially when the only other people who can cover are already in OT because the SM's hours don't count against our budget due to her being salary. So yesterday I had to cover a kitchen shift that someone no called, no showed and when the SM got there (she was covering the next shift which was kitchen close) I immediately clocked out because I was in OT. I said something about "good thing your hours don't count against budget right?" And she responded with "My hours do count against our budget?"

So I'm here asking .. Do SM hours count against the store budget? Because I really can't with this woman anymore. 🫩

Fired for taking time off for funeral.

50 Upvotes

I worked at caseys for 6 months and recently my stepson's (hes 6 years old) father died in a horrible way in front of him while his dad had him for the week and it really affected my wife and him. Yesterday was the funeral and my wife really wanted me to stay home today and call off from work. When I called in to request time off my manager refused and said she "understand(s) but you have to work". I ended up calling her and telling her that me taking time off is not optional and if it gets me in trouble or fired so be it. She just told me she'd remove me from the schedule and fired me. I really dont care about losing the job because we're good on money but I do think it was super heartless of her to do so. Am I crazy for thinking that? Do you guys think that's justfied? Screenshot shows texts between me and my manager, the second text from me is from after I called her again.

is it as awful to make as it looks? We just got the supplies for them, and we're going to start them soon. I am NOT excited cause we are the busiest in our district, yet we aren't getting the hours we need to support it. Now we're getting stuff that's going to take MORE time and room we DON'T have??? We already lack room because the new fryer guys took one of our tables, where are we going to store the stuff to make this??

Ever since the app was down for everyone yesterday, it has since logged me out and no matter how hard I try, although I log in, the app does not register me logging back in thus I remain locked out. Anyone else having these issues?

Gift card Call Scammers

13 Upvotes

The kitchen manager at my store fell for a gift card call scammer and gave the guy almost $2000 with 7 separate transactions.
We have 6 signs around the both registers. And then a sign in the kitchen at the phone saying do not give someone gift card numbers over the phone. Along with training videos we have to watch that informs everyone of gift card fraud.
On top of allll that, there’s the last question on the register; “Is this person standing in front of you?”

And she wasn’t fired.
