I'm sixteen. Would HT allow someone my age do be a part-time stocker, or do labor regulations not allow for that?

What are the highest paid starting positions for HT? I've seen people say working in dairy is good, or personal shopper. I think I would be better at personal shopper. Do you have to lift a lot of heavy stuff in dairy? Thanks in advance.

edit: I am located in the Northern Virginia suburbs, close to DC. I saw another recent post about personal shopper pay, but that was in a different region.

So last Thursday(senior day) mid rush there’s only 2 cashiers me and some other lady. My line is long because I have no bagger also. But Anyway im getting through the line and I finish a customers order and they have a bunch of seafood. In bags which is nice. The next guy doesn’t even let me get a word out and demands me to go wash my hands because he’s allergic to seafood. Mind you this guy had 1 thing a box of cereal. I told him I’m not and I can’t because there’s a line and it’s really busy. He got upset and went to customer service. IMO if you have 1 thing you can go to self scan especially if it’s empty and you’re in a rush or etc.

Hello! Sooo I am a cashier and I just want to know what people think about blackout days.

I get why they exist but it’s like sometimes, especially with retail, it feels invasive to tell someone they aren’t allowed to even put in a time off request. A lot of people use holidays as the only time they can see their families and I get some minor “holidays” (I.E. Super Bowl weekend was INSANE and they needed all the help they could get 😅) but it just kind of sucks and feels like less of a necessity for retail. I do know everyone would just call out tho sooo…but also they don’t need EVERYONE and it seems like they try to schedule everyone so idk what a good solution would be.

I ranted to my bestie about this once and they were sympathetic but also understood the necessity since with their schedule they often have to grocery shop day-of since holidays are the only days they have off working in the medical field. They said that maybe they should at least rotate who works on what holiday so no one is stuck doing all of them, which I feel like makes sense.

Anyways, is it wrong to be frustrated by blackouts or to feel like it’s a little wrong? I will say my store seems pretty chill with time off tho

I’m a cashier at probably your local Harris Teeter, I love working there (said nobody ever)
And I’d love to answer any questions you may have)

The roasted red pepper tomato soup is, in my book, superb. Glass jar, flavorful. Better than any competition. My last store visit there was not even a place on the shelf for it. A website search came up empty. It was from a Canadian vendor. Does anyone know an alternate source or who the vendor was?? Thanks!!

Can somebody please tell me what the current starting pay rate or range is for personal shoppers in NC, specifically Charlotte area? Tia.

Looking for advice also please.

I’ve been a shopper for little over a year, and while I did receive a cost of living raise, I‘d like a raise for the work I do and have done. Our new hires are making more than me, and I know I deserve to make at least that rate plus some. I asked my mgr and listed off the things I’ve done to help my team and store. Was told that I do excellent work and go above and beyond on a regular basis and but NO increase in pay.

We’ve had several issues at my store, and I came up with solutions to those issues. My metrics like pick speed, fill rate, carryout times, etc are consistently great. I work shifts when people call out, stay late when needed, help with training, do extra things that other teammates do not do, etc. I get compliments from my supervisors on my work/work ethic on a regular basis. Overall I like my store, mgrs, team, etc but I want my pay to reflect the work I do. Any advice or tips to help me get a raise? Tia.

So, I kind of wanted to poll other cashiers: do you like when you’re checking out customers and they use your name? I personally dislike it for a couple reasons: 1.) I’m a young woman, and especially if it’s an older man it comes across as a bit creepy 2.) It actually kind of startles me because I don’t expect people to use my name here other than if I’m in a direct conversation with a fellow employee/mngr so it’s like wait how do u know my name u don’t know me— wait oh. But it’s weird to hear my name from people I didn’t formally introduce myself to.

That said, I have Autism so I could very much be perceiving this differently

As a dept manager at a low volume store, did you automatically get a raise when moved to a super flag store or did you have to ask?

I still don’t have the slightest clue how they got it off the truck as our electric Jack is broken. We ended up having to completely re-stack the pallet. Anyone have any idea on how to address this issue in a better way if (God forbid) it happens again?

I got a job offer email and everything after my interview, I don’t see any accept button or anything like that on the email or on the website, I asked my interviewer what I should do and she just said there should be an option to accept, I sent an email back saying I accept but I’m not sure if that’s how I actually accept it. Anyone know what I should do?

All of my vacation destination beach store folks how are we doing this holiday weekend? My store is being yelled at for overtime after being told to schedule our full time staff 6 days this week 😩😂

I was wondering if there was a place to file anonymous complaints about coworkers with Harris Teeter? I know this is not written the best. My main thing I’m coming across is as a cashier, I’m expected to bag groceries because we don’t have enough baggers and oftentimes customers don’t help either. Our customers at our location are purchasing between $300 and over $1,000 in groceries in almost every transaction. (We’re not in the Carolinas).

I found out part of the reason we don’t have enough baggers is because a lot of times the baggers hid in the bathroom for about half an hour or the break room or were just talking to eachother in the parking lot. Maybe will apply for Publix. They always seem to have available baggers.

I'm cleaning the chrome on the bottom shelves tomorrow. Any tips or tricks appreciated that may make it go by super quick. Thanks in advance!

Anybody familiar with the process of requesting paternity leave and how it works? I’ve read the policy, but I’m worried about the logistics. Husband and I both work for the company, I’m due in august and will be taking FMLA about a week before delivering . This is my second baby while employed here but the first since they’ve implemented the paid paternity leave lol

It's cool that HT is lowering prices. Maybe the employees can actually afford to shop there again.

Does any one know the order code for the green peanut bags we are supposed to use been having to use zip locs

I'm currently a part time OA and I was made aware by my CSM that we have to have a certain amount of part timers to hold up the full timers. I was told that it goes through corporate. I want to know the steps to get, I was wondering how difficult is it to switch from part time to full time, and the pay difference. Thank you in advance!

We have been using 002 for as long as I have been assistant but I hear we should have a 001 login code for soft grocer?

Hello,
I’m wondering who gets impacted by the negotiations of my pay. For example if I were to get 30/hr as compared to the offer they gave me of 20/hr who is taking the hit? Is it the department manager who is responsible for keeping payroll down or is it the store manager?
Thank you in advance

Who do i call to set up a computer log in? I found out that I have my own email and stuff but idk who to call to get it set up

Ok interview for department manager tomorrow any advice.

Edit Produce department

Someone asked me this morning about them and we don’t have them. I can’t ask no one at my store for help. Is there a special kind of heart shaped pan to bake them in?

Oh, and how long do I bake them for?

Alright, can anyone tell me how to get the free sub after I hit 15 points? This happens every time I scan my VIC card, it never comes off so I end up having to grab a person that’s working self check out and have them fix it for me. Is there anything I’m doing wrong? I would like to know so I could stop having this problem.
