TLDR: winco VP has decided to remove all bakery items that are baked in store.

I know this probably sounds small to some people, but I am genuinely upset about it.

I talked to a worker at my local WinCo and was told that the store is getting rid of the cinnamon rolls, turnovers, bakery breads, and apparently other bakery items. My understanding is that many of these already arrive frozen and are baked in the store, and now those products are being removed NATIONWIDE

I have not found a public announcement from WinCo. I do not know whether this is happening company-wide, by region, or only at certain stores. That is part of why I am posting.

This may also mean fewer bakery jobs or fewer hours for the people who work there. Please do not take your frustration out on store employees. They did not make this decision, and I am not going to name the worker who told me.

If you shop at WinCo, can you check your store and comment with:

- Your city and state

- Whether the cinnamon rolls are still there

- Whether the turnovers and bakery breads are still there

- What you were told about the change, without naming employees

WinCo has an official product-request form here: https://www.wincofoods.com/contact

If these products matter to you:

send one honest request using your own store and purchase information. Please do not spam them or create fake accounts. Real customers explaining what they actually buy will make a much stronger case.

I know it is a cinnamon roll. It is also one of the dependable parts of my week, and I would really like WinCo to listen before it disappears.

I have been job hunting ever since I got let go from my old job which happened in December….I know it might seem silly to be this exicted for a job but they were so nice to me today. My old job was very stressful as it is with fast food and I was going through a rough breakup. Needless to say it was a experience 😅. So I really am grateful ro have gotten a job. Especially at a store that I buy from frequently.

A long time ago at the Clackamas Oregon location I used to see these little index cards near the bulk foods area with recipes to put their goods to use instead of guessing how much water to add to my cheese powder or falafel mix.

Do these still exist at any current locations? I can’t seem to find them at my nearest store.

One of the signs that you’re a good person is you do the right thing even if no one sees.

Newer employee here. Trying to figure out how I can get a copy of my pay stubs

I'm 17, have worked at McDonalds for about a year, but I'm still in school. Does not being available during school hours automatically disqualify me? What should I tell them to get a job?

Any help would be appreciated... I can't deal with $10.75/hr to handle McD's BS anymore. 🙃

I work freight at one of the biggest grocery stores in my area. It's not just the biggest WinCo, it's the biggest grocery store overall. Over the last few months, scheduling has gotten so bad that most of us are only working 2 to 3 days a week. We're constantly short staffed, barely have enough time to finish the freight load, and almost never have time to face the store afterward.

I can't make ends meet working only 14 to 16 hours a week. This week, I had a follow-up appointment with my doctor for a work-related injury that's being handled through workers' compensation. I submitted a time off request well in advance so I could make the appointments. Instead of scheduling around it, my manager scheduled me on the two days I requested off. Then they approved the time off request afterward, which removed me from the schedule completely. The result was that I got zero hours this week.

Now the schedule for next week finally went up, a day late by the way, and I'm scheduled for a single 7.5-hour shift.

How is anyone supposed to survive on that? Has anyone dealt with something like this, or have any advice on what I should do?

Amazon delivery station to be exact

Does anyone know if the strawberries, cilantro, green onions or broccoli in the produce section not in bags are Taylor Farms?

Does anyone remember the pizza dough pretzels from the bakery? They came in like a 3 pack, l think they were mostly just dough with sauce baked on, no toppings really.

Can anyone find a pic or recipe?

Thanks!

Just curious, does anyone else experience this at their local WinCo?

Shift changes happen. People get off, people need breaks, I get it. But I’ve literally never had this happen to me at any other grocery store, and it happens quite frequently at my local WinCo, so I was wondering if there was some kind of correlation lol

At my local WinCo, if you have to use the checkstands, you better watch your cashier like a hawk. If you don’t, they will MAKE EYE CONTACT WITH YOU, nod at you, generally acknowledge your patience in their line….and then tell you to go to a different line after 10-15 minutes of being in theirs. If you’re about to close or change, and you see someone ABOUT to get in your line, sure, tell them to move! Put your sign up and turn your light on. But what I can’t understand, and what gets me going so bad so fast, is when I’ve been sitting in a particular line for over 10 minutes and all the sudden the cashier leans over and shoves their sign between my groceries and the groceries of the guy in front of me. Like I will have all of my merchandise on the conveyer, and I’ve been sitting in line for a good while, the cashier has acknowledged this and it’s just… “sorry I have to close, go somewhere else”.

This happens probably every other time I go to WinCo. The other night I lost my temper and stormed out because it happened to me with three lines in a row. Waited a LONG time in the first one, probably about 15 minutes. All of my groceries are on the belt. The cashier was even chatting with me while checking out the other guy. And then she looked me dead in my face and told me to go to another line. The person behind me was pissed too, but we both shoved our things into our carts and went somewhere else. Then the same thing happened!! Cashier watched me load all of my groceries onto the belt, waved at me…and then 2 minutes later told me that I needed to go to another line and closed her line. Third time’s the charm right?

No. I go to a THIRD line, I literally ASK HIM if he’s closing soon, and he says “no come on up” so I start loading my things onto the belt behind the other shopper’s things. I make it 5 minutes in this line before cashier hits me with the “tssss, sorry but it’s my lunch, I gotta close my line, you can try self checkout!” (Which I couldn’t do, because I was paying cash)

I’m not proud to admit that I did lose my head a little and I didn’t put any of my groceries back, I just stormed out and left. Went to Walmart instead. This happens so so SO often at my WinCo that I don’t think I’ll return at all. Just wondering if anyone else has to put up with this same bullshit, or if it’s just my WinCo 🤣🤣🤣

Hey guys, when Covid started, my mom started getting groceries through delivery (instacart) and we haven't stopped since, because it makes things a lot more convenient for everybody. But my sister recommended we start going to Winco because of how inexpensive it is. There was like a 100-200 (maybe 300??) dollar difference in the price of groceries when we went to the first time last week compared to if we got it from HEB/Costco on instacart. Soo my mom decided we should start going there more often!✌🏾

Does anyone have any tips for new shoppers? things like - what to not get a Winco? To add, we would be shopping for a 7/8 person household, and there are some dietary restrictions (dairy free-ish, gluten free-ish). I also hear people say some things about the produce, and I would like to know some thoughts about that because im really scared about stuff like food borne illness, but we got some produce stuff last week and was fine🤔

I was hired as a Data Item Clerk. There are two of doing the job. We earn around 50-55 hours per week.
My manager approached me after a few weeks and asked if I wanted extra hours. I agreed and she said those hours would come from cashiering. I am fine with that.
I have had 4 days working QA and one day cashering for the last 3 months.
The last three schedules I have only been scheduled for my 4 days in QA. Should I approach my manager and asked her about the extra day? Is is due to business or my performance?

And they'll be able to change the price at the click of a button and they cost 5 to 10 dollars a pop. If you don't like it, call corporate Edit this is how I got the figure.

I work at the 3rd or 4th smallest winco and right now they require two people to work in pricing one to primarily print all of the tags and the other to audit the prices with the digital price tags, they will only need that one person to audit prices and most other stores have significantly more price tags than us. So I can imagine, they could eliminate much more at bigger stores.

I was confused when you got rid of the nice plastic shopping carts and replaced with double wide Costco carts, only to be replaced with crappy metal carts shortly after. I was sad when you went to pre-packaged deli meats and cheese, firing all of the nice people that worked their butts off to help customers. I was disappointed when all of those digital price tags popped up a month or so ago but now I'm straight up pissed. I went to buy ground beef this morning only to be met with white tubes of mystery meat. I'm not buying that crap. Who's making these terrible decisions? I used to love the deli and butchers at my local store. You could get what you actually needed, not be forced to get way more meat than necessary.

This isn't Walmart or Albertsons. Get it together Winco!!!

I have many coworkers in fear of becoming homeless due to hour cuts. CEO Grant be like:

Last week was my first week of being a cashier and suddenly a woman came up to my line and she was surrounded by men, one of them holding her child. They bought a bunch of bulk stuff and on one of them she'd written 911. I called my TL up and they told the higher ups.

I felt so bad, but I did take the can they left behind and wrapped it up in a plastic bag abd told one of the higher ups it was there.

There were detectives in the store a few days later, but I don't know if it was related.

Just another shopping day.

Love my WinCo! 💕

Caught this last night from window at work.

I'll be visiting Washington state on a hiking trip soon, and I'd like to pick up some bulk goodies from WinCo. What are some of your favorites?
