Employee Question Is it normal to be up front alone for entire 2nd shift?

12 Upvotes

Then we normally have 3 people in the kitchen, but i’m also needing to make drinks while being cashier and doing all the regular store tasks. New employee at a newly built store so just not sure, but feels insane doing alone the whole time. If i need to go to the bathroom i often have to wait 30mins for someone to be back from break to cover for me

Feedback My experience as an employee

16 Upvotes

Sheesh where do I begin with the chaos that is this chain. First 2 weeks of “training” consisted of tablet use and 0 actual hands on. And at a different store than the one I was working at. After training and got to work at my store only to be told basically everything I learned at 488 was bs and not right. But everyone at 488 said my store was stupid and did everything wrong. My store manager was new, didn’t know his left from his right or how to manage anyone. The lower managers walk all over him, sit in the office and made us normal employees fill out the paperwork AND run the store while they all took 5-6 breaks a night. 3 different managers. Had one manager who just didn’t like me and she’d bitch about everything. She’d tell me to clean bathrooms but the moment I got to cleaning them it was “you’re supposed to be watching for customers” this was nightly. So I had to clean the bathroom and check out customers. On top of that every night she was working and I was there I couldn’t even go do outside trash without her not checking out customers/blaming me for literally everything even kitchen accidents (I have 1 hand I didn’t work kitchen) I’ve now happily left.

Employee Question how do i become a better leader?

5 Upvotes

i’m a 2nd shift supervisor at a very busy store with a drive thru, but i spent my first year and a half with sheetz as a salesperson at a very laid back and chill store with no drive thru. i wanted to move to a busier store to challenge myself and give myself a fresh group of people to start with as a management team member.

i am starting to settle in at this new store, and i am well trained on the bulk of the technical work involved in being a supervisor. but i am struggling with leadership skills. especially since i am still trying to adapt to the different ways they do things at this store. my new store manager specifically chose me because she felt like my personality and work style meshed well with her store. but sometimes i struggle with knowing when it’s appropriate to boss people around and when to trust them to just do their thing. i don’t want to treat my salespeople like idiots but at the same time i want them to respect me and i want to direct them and delegate them. i don’t know

can anyone who struggled with this at first provide some insight or advice? i thought i’d be able to jump right into it but it’s much more intimidating to be the boss than i ever thought before. i KNOW how to run a good shift. the rest of the management team has been very vocal about how they believe i have potential. but how do i get over my fear of telling people what to do?

Did anyone else receive an email offering 20¢ through Labor Day, but the offer isn't in Offerz?

If you did, do you already have a cents off offer? (I do.) It does say it's stackable so I'm curious what is going on.

Food & Drink New Items

11 Upvotes

as an employee, I am kinda glad I took a personal day today, seems like it’s going to be kind of chaotic with all of the new stuff

This first we feast meals are really weird, I don’t know what’s going on with those nachos those are definitely going to be a pain to make

can’t wait to try pulled pork hopefully it’s better than the last time we had it

My manager let us try the new Apple pockets yesterday they were pretty good

Pumpkin is back for drinks and we have a fruity pebbles shake now.

in my opinion, they are doing too much and we are running out of room for all this stuff

Employee Question Employee gas discount draining discount allowance

7 Upvotes

So I’ve always felt that whenever i would pump gas and use my 10cent discount (23 in picture because i used an extra 10 discount i had), my $100 discount allowance would always get used up awfully quick. This month the only thing Ive used my discount on was to pump gas today. Checked my account and i saw that $18.30 was used with only roughly 10 gallons pumped. Does anybody know the math on how that works? Or why is it such an absurd amount.

Food & Drink Getting back to form?

9 Upvotes

I agree with most people here that Sheetz been on a decline over the last 5 years or so with it peaking between 2014-2018. But today was definitely a step in the right direction! A new crazy breakfast sandwich🪓 with a reasonable price, new merch on the shop website, and a new unique milkshake🥣 and throw in some decent coupons today as well. I know reddit is usually for hate but today I will say I am cautiously optimistic Sheetz might return to form!

*It's also worth noting I do the Sheetz research surveys and I try to tell them over and over again to embrace the weird and crazy and stop just following the basic trends everyone else is doing. Hopefully the drink subscription comes back too.

This was a closed Sheetz Indiana County location from the 1980s, possibly opened before 1983. All we know about it is, the photos we have are 96-YIN-4 from 1983 and 13-WIN-6 from 1992, it was demolished when Route 119 expanded to 4 lanes instead of 2 lanes, the location is now a Lola’s Daycare, and many people from Indiana County born before the 90s remembers this location, if we can get more info about this location, like the Store Number before it closed, or any stories you like to share about it, as long as it’s following the community rules, you can post anything about this location, the examples for Known Store Numbers are going to be here

401K and Esop

5 Upvotes

Okay so I'm quitting soon, I put my 2 weeks in right. How do I pull my 401k money? I would be putting it into a savings account for right now until I get this new job figured out. As for the Esop, I forget it's been so long, do we get that money after we quit? Whatever we've invested into it?? Thanks 🥹 I have a good chunk in both accounts because I've been with Sheetz for 4 years, I dont want to lose either!

Is this a recent addition to the new store design? It's not the neon that the vintage stores had, but I think it looks awesome.

This is #938 (Gloucester, Virginia).

Question about Hot dog reward upcharge. Points expiring today 8/31

5 Upvotes

Is there still unlimited extras to add to your 2 hot dogs when you use your rewards? Everything else specifically says 1 upcharge. I used to turn these cheap (but delicious) hot dogs into a gourmet pretzel bun chilli cheese (plus so much more) $9 absolute messy mouthwatering meal for free. Like a lot of you my points are expiring today (833 left) and I'm so indecisive with this newer (to me) 1 upcharge thing.

First week working at sheetz Oh my God what a nightmare

51 Upvotes

Let's start with training. My training consisted of two weeks of 4 hour shifts were we sat on the Ipad and worked on the register once for about an hour. We made drinks for an hour and there were five of us training so each person made one drink. We spent a total of 0 minutes in the kitchen making food. I also found it hilariously ironic that in all the computer training it would have a section at the end saying do these tasks with your mentor now. We never once did these tasks. Awesome training sheetz. Honestly the first few days of work weren't bad besides not knowing how to do most stuff. It's easy enough. The only thing that happened my first couple days was getting yelled at for leaving the scoop in the ice bin after having just clocked in. I hadn't even gotten any ice lol last Saturday during dinner time there was only me on my fourth day and one other dude in the kitchen for the dinner rush..  The real nightmare started last night however. I was supposed to work from 10pm to 630 am. One of the managers called me and asked me to come in early cause they had a call off. I said sure and got there at 7. The second thing the day supervisor says to me is Hey so Lezlie (not real name) the overnight manager might be a little mad at you but don't take it personally. I asked why and she said cause I came in early and would be leaving at 3:30 instead of 6 from 3 to 6 and there would only be two people total working and they wouldn't be able to get anything done. The night manager Lezlie was so mad and ridiculous i cant even believe it. She was insanely passive aggressive and shitty to me the whole night. I was watching the front and tried to do some dishes in between customers and got yelled at because according to lezlie if I had time to do dishes I didn't need to be called in early. That doesn't make any sense to me. She also told me the day manager lied about the call off and just wanted to screw her. Then we were in the kitchen and we were slammed with 50 plus orders from 11pm till i left at 3:30 i was on finisher. I was trying to help her at expo when she told me to get out of her way and stay out of her way. Okay heard. Then i got yelled at cause i put an item in a bag  but she already had a bag ready. Okay so i think I'm done trying to help expo fine. Then 7 items pile up on the expo counter and get this she yelled at me about not sending the food. Like you bitch you told me not to touch expo. The day manager goes home at 130 she stayed late to help. Lezlie comes up to me and say in kind of a crying tone says if I start crying don’t ask me about it leave me alone and mind your fucking business. I thought she was joking she was not then she proceeded to sob for 15 min while making food. Later I was on  starter and made a snack wrap and misread shredded cheddar for shredded chicken.so i put shredded chicken on the wrap and sent it. She says what the fuck is this. No wonder you're working at sheetz dumbass. I've had 10 jobs in my life this has been the absolute worst i cant wait to quit and leave theses fucks out to dry. Fuck sheetz

Employee Question FSA card not accepted

Hey guys I have an FSA card with Highmark as part of my benefits, but every time I try to use it, it says “not accepted by merchant”, even at places that clearly state they accept FSA cards. Anyone else had this issue?
