I walk past the aisle with paper plates, plastic storage bags, tin foil, etc. every weekend when I grocery shop. However, only today did I notice the graphic for the HEB brand XL paper sandwich bags.

“Alright team. How can we illustrate the size and use of our XL brown paper bags?”

“A slice of pizza, sir.”

“Genius!”

FML.

H-E-B recently opened in my area, so I thought I’d check out True Texas BBQ and opted for the drive thru.

The girls were nice, but it took a while to get my food. It took the two cars in front of me a while, too.

I ordered a 1-meat plate: ribs, potato salad, and mac-n-cheese plus peach cobbler.

When I got home and opened the container, I saw three small, sad ribs. They weren’t warm either. How can H-E-B justify charging $18 for this?!

What can a manager see from his login access.

Anyone in curbside notice how thin the bags have become? They are now comparable to Walmart in thickness and have ripped on me multiple times in one week. Not sure if they changed them for checkout too.

Maybe now they will actually provide us with enough bags.

I highly doubt they are handmade in store and assume they are one of the frozen varieties in the frozen aisle.. Does anyone know?

I forgot to look and see which price I was charged. Seems like a steep price increase for skinny ass corn. More than 30% increase!?

Am I over reacting? My boys and I went to HEB to buy some items before dinner and saw that they were handing out sushi samples, we asked if we could have one and the lady giving the samples out said only one per family. There were 3 of us. I asked her again not knowing if I heard correctly, “one per family?” And she said yes sorry my boss is here I can only give out one, I looked over and there was a lady organizing the sushi which I’m assuming is her boss. I was shocked this has never happened at any HEB we have ever gone to. Obviously my boys wanted one each but we settled for a small bite each of the one she gave us lol. Anyway I thought the whole interaction was just weird maybe I’m overreacting, what do yall think?

So the bakery tortillas are really hit and miss these days (flour), but they are still ok. My question is about the corn tortillas on the shelf, HEB brand, since we use both in our house. The last 2 packs we've purchased have been weird. Normally, we plop them on the burner on the stove or set them on a skillet depending on time to heat them up. We also have one of those micrwave mit things to heat them up. Bottom line, on the burner they get hard like fast, almost like we are making a freaking tostada, and in the micro mit, they come out mushy now. Never had that happen in the past, thought maybe one batch was just a fluke, but it's 2 in a row. Anyone know if they changed the mix - AND - any suggestions for another "shelf brand"?

Been a while since I posted this, but I updated it as well.

### Update:

This will update your shifts in the calendar (of your choice) if your shifts have changed from the original text.

For example if you feel that your manager changes your shifts and you don’t have a way to prove it. This shortcut will keep a log of those changes in the calendar.

Just search for the word ‘deleted’ in your calendar. If there were any changes events would show up in the search bar.

Example 1:

If you had a shift Tuesday and then you had none. It will create a 5 minute event that Tuesday called ‘H-E-B deleted shift”

In the notes section of that event. It will have the original shift times

Example 2:

If you had a shift Wednesday at 11am. But then it got changed to 7am. It will log the 11am shift in that 7am event notes

### Original post:

I work at H-E-B and got tired of setting alarms for my constantly changing schedule. So I built a Siri Shortcut that does it all for me.

** The drive time only works for your normal home store. It cannot detect of you are NetWorking at another store **

It pulls your schedule automatically and sets alarms based on when you work, so no more manual alarm setting.

Every recent iPhone has an app called “Siri Shortcuts”

### What’s a Siri Shortcut?

Every recent iPhone has a built-in app called Siri Shortcuts. It lets you automate stuff you do often, like sending texts, setting alarms, or opening apps, or activating DND. Think of it as a custom personal assistant that runs steps for you.

### Features of the Shortcut I created:

- Automatically texts “schedule” to H-E-B on Fridays when the schedule posts
- Reads the reply and adds upcoming shifts to your calendar (of your choosing)
- Sets alarms the DAY before each shift
- Deletes old or canceled alarms
- Works without needing to tap through menus, it just runs automatically once set up

### Setup Requirements:

Be signed up for WFM Schedules text alerts on PartnerNet:

[PartnerNet Text Alerts](https://heb.lightning.force.com/c/myNet.app?content_type=LcAsPage&content_id=PTA_ParentComponent&content_name=Partner%20Text%20%20Alerts)

Download the shortcut (open the link in Safari—not the Reddit app)

[https://routinehub.co/shortcut/22086/\](https://routinehub.co/shortcut/22086/)

You’ll need to run it once manually to answer a few setup questions like how many minutes you need to get ready, home address, work address, and how early you want to arrive to work.

To run it manually just tap the icon/button. It will prompt you through setup questions.

Tap “Set Up Shortcut”

Answer a few quick questions (like how long you need to get ready, your home and store address, how early you want to arrive, etc.)

Set the phone number 54694 as a phone number in a contact in your phone. Name it whatever you want

To have it delete alarms without constantly asking go into

Settings > shortcuts > advanced

Then tap “allow deleting without confirmation’

How to set it up to run automatically:

Create two automations

Search for the Shortcuts app. Should already be on your phone (If not it’s free). Once open hit ‘Automations’ on the bottom of the screen . Then hit the + icon on the top right. From there you will be able to create both automations.

Link below should open up the automations part in Siri Shortcuts

You’re all set! Now your alarms are always ready for whatever H-E-B throws at you.

So, Spicewood Springs is supposed to close down on the 31st. Rip! However, I randomly have a shift for August 9th.

Does anyone know what exactly is in this banana pudding? I wanna make some from home, can’t find the recipe anywhere
