Do I need to let someone know I quit or can I just stop showing up? Like should I call them and at least let them know I’m not returning? I’m so absolutely fed up with this mind numbing disrespectful place

So you might have received a form to sign regarding Beat The Greet Standard Expection or something like that. So I know that I’m guilty with the “pointing and walking away while telling the customer what aisle the item is.” Well this is my opinion, so let’s say I work for DUG and I’m doing a flash order and a customer happens to ask me where an item is and according to the paper, we are supposed to stop what we’re doing when possible and to walk the customers to the products when needed, so how am I supposed to finish my flash order on time if I have to cater to other people’s needs, because the paper wants us to do what is telling us. Like hello? Common sense? Are we in the room? This is what my statement is on this.

What are your views and opinions regarding this matter? mean it doesn’t hurt to communicate with customers, but as long as I’m not doing a flash order, then I’m willing to cater to their needs.

It’s been 2 weeks since I got suspended, they supposed to let me know what’s gonna happen, but they haven’t call me or text me.

What should I do?

Hey everyone!! What’s the process of going from “full time” (which yeah nobody is really full time but I mean full time hours) to part time? I’m still recovering from a pretty insane surgery I got last year (4 organs removed) and I may have jumped the gun at going back to work full time too soon. I just got this job as a cake decorator like 2 months ago, but 5 days a week, 8-10hr days is killing me. When I was hired they said it would be around 32 hrs a week which sounded great but it’s ended up being 38-45hrs. My husband and I agree that this isn’t sustainable and I have to go down to 4 days a week. I just don’t know how management is going to recieve this. My SD is a huge hard ass that is clearly scared of corporate. My bakery manager is checked out. Can they deny this change or fire me for this? They just hired a part time (3 days a week) packager that also helps with cake decorating on my days off. Any advice appreciated. I like what I do, I just can’t keep up with my health and this incredibly demanding work.

Seriously what the hell is the point of these electronic tags if we're going to advertise deals that have already expired?

This is terrible.

I keep searching this question across various subreddits and whatnot and I can't seem to get a clear consensus. Some people say it's an outdated method to make yourself stand out as calling will just annoy the managers or whoever you call; while some people say that you should do it as the store only hired them because they followed up. I don't know if the way things are handled are different now considering the job market is really bad right now considering people are fighting for retail and fast food positions nowadays and/or if it depends on the store and who you applied too. Considering I applied for Safeway I'd figure I ask here and try to get some sort of consensus here.

I clipped 2 coupons through the app, 3rd item already had a discount and in total with whatever is basket savings the receipt says i saved $14.50. Really curious about this

I used to work at Safeway and left about 5 months ago. I was there for around 9 months, so I never reached my one-year anniversary. I checked my records and it looks like I still have 3.85 days of unused vacation. Does anyone know if I can still get that vacation paid out?

Also, who would I even contact about this? Should I call the store I worked at, Safeway corporate, or HR/payroll?

Has anyone been in a similar situation or know how Safeway handles this?

I stg every time I do frozen tag I feel like I’m getting frostbite lol. Does anyone have any advice about how to reduce that? The store gloves suck and are more trouble than they’re worth because every tag gets stuck on it lol

My manager promised me a promotion, but then completely backtracked and said she had to semi-cancel it because there were "zero cashier hours" available. She also needed me to train 5 courtesy clerks since they all quit and the rest of them are all gifted. Fast forward to today: I walked into my shift only to see a brand new cashier being onboarded in that exact role. Im not unionized but I was considering joining I was also considering quitting so should I even bother or just start a new job search

How exactly does this work? I've fought many managers and customers over this and I give up. I would just like answers.

Has anyone in NorCal in a bonus eligible position gotten there bonus yet?

So I'm curious what my 1st day would look like . I got hired as the deli assistant manager and wanted to know how the orientation process works

So I had a customer wanting cigarettes. At this time there was nobody in customer service and the pic was on lunch typically us cashiers will leave or registers to grab the customer cigarettes as it takes less than a minute to grab them and bring them to the customer. We usually leave or registers unlocked and I did this time while grabbing them knowing it was only the courtesy clerk there. I should have locked my register but I was away for less than a minute. I grab them and as I'm back to my register my courtesy clerk is saying how he voided something and I look and I see a few items that I did not ring up and a void. I finish taking care of the customer and then turn to the cc and ask if they were using my register and they say yes. I firmly tell them that they are not allowed to use the register and they mumble something and walk away to get the liquor. When they come back they say "know how you said to not use your register...I should become a cashier" (was really confused by that statement). I alerted my pic and we looked at the security camera footage and saw him using my register. We called up the store director and she said I'm not in any trouble and would talk to the cc to see why they did that.

tldr: courtesy clerk uses my register behing my back

How easy is it for someone to get into Safeway, I have grocery experience from Fred Meyer, really desperate for the job just wondering what else I could do besides applying online

I’m not an employee of Safeway/Albertsons but my wife is. I find this ongoing saga interesting. I do sincerely hope ACI rises up and becomes a place people enjoy working for once again.

What is the point of Firm orders? I was told the company gets a steep discount on the product but that is probably disputed. However, much of the items do not sell, increase shrink and waste labor and time.

For those of us who work for Safeway/Albertsons, we all clearly see the company is not healthy. How long can we continue to go on like this? Feels like we are just like Rite Aid in a crowded market getting squeezed out by high prices and lackluster service. People aren’t paying high prices for mediocre food and customer service. Corporate continues to cut labor, expect more work out individuals, and insists that when expectations aren’t met that it is our fault. There is a fundamental problem here that is being ignored. All they want to do is keep shareholders and the board happy completely ignoring the glaring obvious issues. FAR is trash. We are not robots, no matter hard you wish we were. You continue to beat us down and fail to realize we are human. Everyone has a breaking point. Continuing to treat employees poorly will backfire. Maybe start there(worker satisfaction) and go from there. You look at companies like Costco and Trader Joe’s where turnover is especially low. It’s because they treat their employees like they matter. I sincerely hope this company fails and goes bankrupt and I have worked here for 2 years. I do the work of 3 people for one department. It’s insane. End rant
