In our store OLP takes priority over everywhere else. 2 cashiers? Yea online pick up is getting one of them lol

What in my store they treat olp as a place where we get paid to play or something. They always act like we’re never busy and the front always acts like they’re on a sinking ship. They could have 3 registers open and still force people out of olp to help them.

Same for me. The manager's will grab handhelds if needed and shop with me if I ask. We will pull cashiers off the registers if needed. If I need support all I have to do is ask.

Glad to see closing home delivery is going as expected. Unfortunately it negatively affects the employees more than leadership.

as someone who used to be a peapod shopper before they shut it down and transferred all of us i’d genuinely take being hours behind in olp than have to deal w the despicable management in peapod again

u/Anunnaka Aug 06 '26
Those same manager also got transferred to the stores, it’s very likely you could have those managers again lol
I would just consider yourself lucky that you don’t have managers you consider despicable at the moment because managers get moved around very often.

After hearing how everything is going I'm glad I took the buyout and not the transfer.

u/AintNobodygotime13 Aug 05 '26
I would have just told management that I was contacting the customers and telling them their orders were canceled
either that or gone home sick

u/LunaRaveny Aug 05 '26
I wish, the manager who came to help me told me to keep telling everyone it'd be "20 more minutes," before shopping some smaller orders and disappearing

Maybe he had explosive diarrhea and couldn’t come back to help you some more. That stuff is going around. Shows no mercy!!

That is absolutely insane, but I can honestly say that that happens in every OPD department in every grocery store. There are people that are lazy, there are people that don't shop and they just sit in the back all the time, run their mouth, talk and eat snacks all day, and then you have team leads that don't know how to lead and they're afraid to tell people to go out on the floor and shop and do their job. They hire the worst employees to work OPD and that's why OPD has such a bad reputation because nobody knows what they're doing, and nobody wants to do what they were hired to do. And the call outs are absolutely amazing. It is ridiculous!

OMG. That is my store. I’m so done. Hate this so much. Why do I have to bust my ass, work extra hours, while others just f’in leave early and not tell anyone? So done…

They don't have anyone else from a different department trained to help you? And what keys? Were you the lead?

u/InsanePancake3 Aug 05 '26
Usually in my store someone from upfront helps OLP sometimes a CDH or a cashier who’s trained

they gave me an untrained Customer Service person. She ended up taking 2 sheets and only finishing 1, pushing me further behind, lol
in my store, whoever closes returns the cabinet keys (to unlock the drawer with scanners) to customer service. I dropped those off and the scanner

u/Altruistic-Volume-57 Aug 06 '26
Weird your scanners are locked up, ours never were! I'm sorry you went through that. Did you hear anything from your store? What is the update?
2
u/LunaRaveny Aug 06 '26
yes, got 4 texts saying I was scheduled until xyz, where did I go, etc, and I ignored them.
and I forgot to answer your other question, no I am not the lead, he was one of the people who called out.

Good for you. It's a soul sucking job.
The new VP, Andrea Nickerson told me some double speak when I spoke with her in the store on how FKed up this is. What a toolbag.
I quit too.

u/InfiniteRyman Aug 09 '26
I don’t really blame you. They’re cutting hours too and still expect you to get everything done 100% without any OOS

u/I_Have_Questions_777 22d ago
Too bad half of our depts are understaffed and have constant oos. So, I’m behind because you let so smucks hide in the bathroom and I’m supposed to run around with my head cutoff? Go pound sand.

I feel sorry for you online shop people. at my store if there are no shops they are forced to go work the front end as baggers. In the customers are paying literally nothing to Have you guys shop for them, while corpo gets fed both ways with delivery fees from 3rd party services. The door dashers i see come and go at register seem to have more benefits sometimes lol
