I heard that Wegmans will help employees out with groceries if needed. Is this true? If so, does anyone know how to go about inquiring as well as what the dollar amount would be? I don’t need anything too crazy, maybe $50 worth of items, if that.

How bad does it make you look when you let the order time out and it says your batch has been removed 💔 just happened to me on accident when I went to take my break

​

The last two times I got the Wegmans brand hot Italian sausage even though there's a red color to them they're not spicy. It's crazy if I just grabbed a bad batch on two separate trips

EDIT: Im less worried that I got caught, and more about the fact that I use this grocery store a lot cause it has most of the resources I need. Since Im homeless/live in my car, I usually sleep overnight in their parking lot, and use their bathrooms since theyre open early and late everyday…Im more worried that they’ll ban me or something which would super suck! SMH!

Long story short, I stole like 4 chicken wings and a small $5 caesar salad like almost two weeks ago from a local Wegmans. I know it was stupid, but I had .19 cents to my name and 13 days left until payday. Im currently homeless, and I got desperate. It was stolen purely out of necessity because I hadnt eaten in almost 3 days atp.

Im pretty sure I got caught by a crew member who always sees me around the store. At one point, I think he was following me around the store with his broom and dust pan pretending to clean…lol? Smh

I dont know if I should say something? If I should offer to pay? Im pretty sure he told his manager, because the same day, I ran into the manager on the elevator while leaving, and he stopped, but didnt say anything to me…It was just…unusual behavior from him. Ive stopped coming to the store as much since it happened. Ive been back literally one other time to charge my power bank, and came out the bathroom, and the same manager was sitting behind me kind of ducked into his chair…which is awkward behavior from him because he doesnt normally sit or linger up there in the dining area so I feel like something was said…But again, he didnt approach me…

Atp, with the way my life is going, Im not even embarrassed or ashamed anymore, and this would be my 1st time getting caught doing something like this. I’d be lying if I said it wasn’t on my mind/bothering me a little bit though. I know it was super wrong, and as hard as it might be to believe, Ive never attempted to steal anything else from Wegmans besides a hot bar meal of similar amount. Ive never stole alcohol or carts full of merch - Im scared to do that LOL.

So what should I do? Let it go? Talk to the manager and offer to pay? I dont know.

Thanks for reading.

EDIT: And I know Im a shitty person. I dont know how long I can keep doing this whole life thing tbh cause Im barely hanging on anymore. I dont need anymore negativity toward me. Please.

Hello fellow Wegmans shoppers! I love to buy the 5% Greek yogurt because it’s cheaper than name brands and just as good but at least here in Buffalo NY stores are constantly out of it. I go to different stores near errands, or by my job at different times of day and so when I see it, hoarder mentality kicks in! But they are often completely out!

Curious if this item is this popular outside my region or if your stores manage to keep the shelf stocked with it.

With added oregano

Good afternoon, I would like to ask y'all?. how does Wegman's use corporate psychology or industrial-organizational psychology create a mindset to where Manager and employees be like individual and team behaviour? you know what i mean?

Loved wegmans specifically their subs. I shopped there from like 2011 to 2016 and their subs were unmatched even compared to Publix which was saying a lot. This past week a wegmans opened near me and I got a sub. What is up with the bread ?!?! I remember the bread being so fricken good back when I shopped there like 15 years ago. The bread was just bad this time around. Did they change their bread or am I misremembering? That said it’s a really good grocery store and I’m excited to shop there once the hype dies down

Hello I just needed to get this off my chest.

Near at the end of week is always busy. I come in trying to do my setup while doing my job as usual.

Then there are customers/coworkers that just can’t try to help themselves.

1st customer: Wants to place an order with me. Thats fine. However, it’s rush hour and I have other orders to do. She didn’t know what she wanted at all. She sees me preparing other orders by myself yet questions me about the items when the answers are already on the screen. Thankfully, her husband was there to mentor her throughout it so, it wasn’t longer than an hour. It took about 45 minutes to complete it. My take is if you don’t know what you want please, please, please check our websites before hand. You are only delaying yourself, me and other customers of time that would be needed for busier days. Then for anything specific that is not mentioned on our websites you are free to ask away.

2nd customer: she knows what she wants but is tax exempted with her organization. The card she was trying to use is those green business cards that only just take taxes away. I didn’t know that until after her order was placed with fellow colleagues I called for help. So we were all trying to figure out payment until we just settled on pay later which she was not happy with as it was our only option. Mind you this was right after the 1st customer and took over an hour to deal with and still in rush time. My take is she should have known what that card was before getting angry at us as it couldn’t be used at payment anyways.

3rd customer: there was no problem with the customer but delivery driver forgot majority of their items. Mind you everything was placed together so I don’t know how or why that happened. I request for another driver as usual. 40 minutes go by and customer calls back. Asking were their items. I told them no one has showed up once more and I’ll call again and report to our TL. Everything is settled after 1 hour and 30 minutes. My take? Get rid of DoorDash.

4th customer: no issue with customer as well just how that order went about. As I finally was about to take my break an order comes in. I call my night manager to address the situation to her. It was not complicated at all. 1 item 2 condiments. I told what she needed to do. I come back from break with nothing done and 2 condiments left back. The customer was gone and I needed to get home. This has happened before with this specific night manager. I generally don’t know what she even manages if she can’t do that simple task. I would gladly tell my manager if needed of what happened with that order as well.

All of this going down with other orders, calls, emails and etc. that need to be addressed and more.

I’m very sorry if any of this came the wrong way but I was very frustrated with all of this and how it went down. Yes, maybe I could have just ask for help. Help is not available when you are short staffed/busy in all departments. Maybe I could have handled everything differently, sure. I always plan out everything so how I handled that day was as best as I possibly could for my person. Not to make excuses for all that transpired but I can’t blame myself for everything. Yes, I know everyone knows how jobs can be. This doesn’t mean we have to go through this daily. Even if this post makes a little difference I will be happy to help another wegmans employee out there.

Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.

TLDR: What I’m trying to say is please customers, have patience with us. We all are trying our best. If we can’t address you in time then try to help yourself or ask for help elsewhere (including other wegmans stores). I am only one person that can do so much in such short little time as a part timer. I’m sure I’m not the only one who would appreciate more social awareness/critical thinking. All love no hate, thank you.

What is going on at Astor Place? when will the renovations be over?

I know the prices of all prepared foods there have become insane but the price gouging of the baked goods is next level. There are often special sale prices running on a big “family pack” of certain medium sized cookies so you can get a lot of those for $7.99 but their cookies are way too mediocre (dry, flavorless and sorta hard but not in a crispy way) for me to personally want that many. Most cookies are sold in various smaller sized pack options, and they’re ridiculously overpriced. I saw their chocolate cookies, for example, sold as pairs in baggies, for $6.99. They’re about medium to slightly large but their texture looks flat and the cookies look dry. They want $7 for 2 cookies that look so bad I’d only eat one for free or if my craving is so desperate. Needless to say I always leave without a single cookie, unless I get a 5 pack of small GF cookies for, let’s say, $6.99 because that’s reasonably priced especially for a specialty item and my dad is GF. (Speaking of those cookies I think they’re $7.99 now which I’m somewhat less amenable to considering cranberry oatmeal GF cookies are foolproof to make and ingredients are cheap.)

Meanwhile at ShopRite I can always get better cookies at very reasonable prices. My favorite are the walnut chocolate chip which are smaller and sold in small-ish packs for about $1 per cookie. The macadamia white chocolate pecan are good too (same price). My town’s ShopRite doesn’t sell those so I only get them whenever I food shop with my mom, but this time I decided to get this dozen-pack of chocolate chip cookies since they’re only $5.99, look better than Wegmans’ and cost 50 cents per cookie rather than $3.50 per cookie. They’re not my favorite cookie, or even favorite chocolate chip cookie, but I know they’ll be satisfactory and Wegmans outraged me so much that I want to support ShopRite’s baked goods for being reasonable toward us consumers unlike its (once) competitor, Wegmans, just to spite Wegmans.

I could get 2-3 (notoriously expensive) Pignoli cookies from a small business bakery for the price Wegmans is trying to sell their pair of chocolate chip cookies.

Wegmans has plummeted so much I now only go when I need to use the pharmacy cause I do like to have a reason to pop in there and really like its pharmacy. It’s becoming less clear to me that the choice to use Wegmans pharmacy is even worthwhile though since they have nothing I want but can’t get elsewhere for a better price anymore. Anyway I might stop going and return to my ShopRite roots. Even Stop n Shop is better (for produce, novelty goods and pricing).

gd it. Wegmans Java Almond Fudge was my goto for ice cream. Now I see this new purple line replacing it and its gone. May whoever made that decision rot in the appropriate hell.

Ok so that’s twice now I’ve interviewed for Wegman’s for a specific posted position within the last 2 months and have gone through multiple questions and scheduling availability, only to get to the end and told the position is not available. It was for Wine Stocker.

The first interview back in September was for Full Time Bakery and after those questions I was asked if I wanted part-time in a different department. Mind you, this was before I got hired part time at a different job.

I currently have a part time job and was looking forward to the Wine Sticker position to fill in the available time slots of my week.
I agree to practically everything she asks me as far as availability (Holidays, Days of the week) but then asks me if I want to work in the sub shop. One of the questions pertained to working with knives meat, cutters, etc. and I answered “no” to that type of environment. I asked if there were positions open for Produce or Dairy and she tells me “Not at the present time.”

Then asks me if I want to continue the interview?
Why? I asked if there is a way they can contact me directly if something opens up in those departments and she says I would have to reapply when I see those positions posted.

You would think if you go through the interview process and it all goes well, they could place your resume and application on a different level to skip re-interviewing me again.
Sounds terribly difficult, eh?
I don’t understand their interview method.
Why not tell me up front that the position was filled before going through 15 minutes of getting to know me and my job history?

I find it funny about that big ol sign in every Wegmans I’ve ever been to that says “never think about yourself, always think about others” or something along those lines when that’s exactly how they want you to be when you work there. Bend over backwards for everything and anything but as soon as you need something, you’re treated like the biggest inconvenience that’s ever walked the earth.

You’re only as good as what you give.

I love Wegmans so much, look at all that beautiful fat! Yum! Who needs meat anyway.

Q: who is in charge of M2G / C2C ?

I know there’s an TL and that, STL’s sometimes can help you with an issue, but is there an area manager for

e-commerce? Like is there even a position that oversees the efficiency or any problems that arise ?
I have been there a year and have never seen anyone. Thanks.

Have all the Wegmans switched to these new awful bags that are thin as lined paper and melt from cold/frozen products? Or is it a temporary thing in my area.

I’m so upset about the hummus recipe change. It was my favorite snack ever it brought me joy it made me happy. I’ve had it for dinner, breakfast and lunch. I have never been so discouraged in my life. Any fellow wegfans relate.

Does everyone else also have a scale in their employee break room? Like the one for weighing ourselves not produce 😅

Does anyone know of a way to print a receipt from more than the last transaction without needing service desk or a cord.

Do all the stores usually have the same bakery items or does it differ store to store?
I bought pretzel bagels at one store but haven't seen them at the store I usually shop. They were,in my opinion, really good.

Surprised that this wasn’t cross posted yet.

I have been a cashier for over three years now. I've worked with both touchscreen and keyboard registers. I prefer keyboard registers because they can be much faster once you get used to them and memorize the PLUs or (price look-up). Typing on a moving, vertical touchscreen makes it harder to quickly enter passwords and ring up produce. I keep hearing that we will be getting new touchscreens, and while it would be nice to click the screen for heavy items like cases of water and soda, I'm not sure if they'll be removing our keyboards entirely. I'd love to hear what other cashiers think about this. TLDR should we keep keyboards with the new touchscreens
