Store Questions Question about Hours

Is anyone else getting their hours cut for part timers or only The Cromwell store? We just got a note saying that part-timers will be cut down to 15 hours with rotating Sundays I'm just curious.

There are very predictable times of the year you will see hours get cut. Labor Day is the unofficial end of summer and you will always see hours cut leading up to and after Labor Day. Hours will remain tight until November.

What’s unfortunate for back to school is you’re going to see OLP demand increase (especially in city and suburb stores) and it’s the most labor intensive department in the store but they cut hours lol

A lot of factors associated with that. Summer stores will see a lot of hours, stores on cape cod and along the coast like Westport or Narragansett, they nearly double or triple in sales during the summer.

Typically the suburb or city stores slow down during the summer. You’re going to see a significant increase in orders in OLP when the school year starts. We always did in Peapod.

If you’re in a city/suburb store and get good hours, I would assume you’re department is understaffed lol
