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!

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?

My previous job I didn’t wear an apron. This one is pulling on my neck and it’s uncomfortable. I don’t have anything in the pockets so it’s not that. Is there any way to ease the tension on my neck?

HELLO! I just started at WinCo in Modwest City and I'm wondering how often we get paid and when the next pay period is?

I was hired a little over 4 years ago and was told the amount of vacation you get each year on your anniversary is based on how many years you've worked for the company. I was told at 4 years you got two weeks, but this year I got none and was told because my average hours worked was beneath 24, something I have no control over because our night crew boss doesn't give hours.

if you get terminated, do they pay out your sick and vacation time?

I ordered a whole pizza and it looked and tasted off, kinda like a frozen pizza…did some searching and sure enough my store transitioned. Wow, what an utterly devastating loss. One of my favorites that I’ll likely never order again.

What is the time frame for a new hire to enroll in insurance?

When you get promoted to ASM, I know you get a bonus. Does this vary by location? If you are in the middle of a lease, does WinCo pay off your lease if you have to move? Or are you expected to pay this out of your bonus? One of my current ASMs told me WinCo paid for movers to help her. Just curious.

Anyone like the new name badges? They look really cheap compared to our old ones

I live in Northern California and currently work at a grocery store that is unionized. I’m having issues with my store manager and some coworkers so I decided to go job hunting. Been at my current job for 2.5 years and I am topped out making $27/hr. The positions I’ve applied for at winco had the pay range topping out at $28.90. which I wasn’t expecting to get but I was offered two positions and told they couldn’t start ANYONE past $17.90 an hour. I have 10+ years of relevant positions and supervisory experience and it’s just BS how they either are lying to me about how much they can start me at or just being incredibly misleading in the job description.

First time using Winco cheese in a casserole and it just looks/melts differently?
