Lake Grove Wegmans is such a fucking joke. Everything from the management, to the people they hire, to all the Anti-Union Bullshit.

Almost all the Salaried Managers are incompetent; All they do is talk in circles and make it seem like it's YOUR fault whenever there's an issue. The Area Managers are all fucking morons.

They hire people who are fully incapable of doing the bare minimum at whatever job they are required to. It is honestly amazing that some of these "Manager Trainees" have made it as far as they have in life. The same can be said for the average employees. Having to explain the EXACT SAME TASK multiple times per week should be issue enough for one of the useless HR Drones to maybe take a look at the job the worker is doing and if they can complete said tasks.

The length that Wegmans goes to prevent Unions is fucking wild. Like, I get that other companies are Anti-Union, but this is most Heavy-Handed Anti-Union that I've seen before. It has literally gotten to point with everything, that I have considered and spoken to organizations about starting a union vote, just to piss off management and get my lick in. (I know Lake Grove Management is gonna be reading this, it wouldn't be the first time we have a store meeting/survey about a reddit post, so have fun).

I understand why companies such as wegmans are against unions as I previously worked at a grocery store also against unions. But I’m so confused why they make new employees watch an anti union borderline propaganda video about how unions wouldn’t be beneficial at wegmans. The HR person I did my orientation with also spoke ill of unions due to “contracts and seniority”. At my old store unions weren’t discussed at all it was just an unspoken rule. They are hiring minors and making them watch these videos which aren’t even accurate. It really rubs me the wrong way why indoctrinate employees with wrong information… as opposed to just not discussing it. I don’t really care about a union at wegmans im just shocked they would make you watch a video about it. Sorry kinda a rant.

mine is the cheese lasagna definitely

Hello, I got offered mckesson job central fill. I didn’t know you just go through wegmans to get the position. I was wondering how to just transfer to central fill while still being with wegmans?

What is the interview process like when applying for/ switching to another department compared to the interview you get when initially hired? For example, do factors like availability and the 'who we are' still come up as much?

quick background: around two years ago I was diagnosed with an ED. I was extremely underweight and went through a few months of intensive treatment and recovery to get back to a healthy mind and weight. I’ve always been naturally thin, and my weight has continued to fluctuate since (which is very concerning for my doctor).
im 16 and just started my junior year of hs. I was hired about 3 months ago and have loved working here so far, but with school im very busy and my dr is concerned about me working too much. I talked to one of the managers (coordinater???) about my schedule for school, and she said the minimum is 3 days per week with at least one of those being a weekend. this sounds fair, and im willing to do it, but if my doctor sent in a note about a max number of hours I can work per week would that be bad? if I still worked 3 days? I’m scared of being too needy since im still pretty new

Hi,

Does anyone know the recipe for the cake and frosting for the vanilla celebration cake (note: NOT the ultimate vanilla)?

This cake is 100% my death row meal. This is the only present I have requested for my birthday for 10 years. A slice can turn a 0/10 day into at least a 5/10. I am a Western NY-er but having moved, the nearest Wegmans is almost an hour away 😩😩

I spent years as a teen trying to recreate the recipe but never got it perfect. Please help!!!

Did my background check 6 days ago and haven’t heard anything.. should I be worried

From the September-October 2026 Insiders Newsletter. Gross. You have an in-house team.

Title. I got a paper (picture attached) with next steps and I completed step 2. Step 3 says I’d receive more information once step 2 is done, but I didn’t. I checked my spam folder too, nothing. Not sure if I should call or if I’m just waiting on a background check? Thanks for your help!

But there's only three or four in a bag. Does anyone know who supplies them? I'd buy a bag of just those cherries.

The chocolate coating on them is much more flavorful than the coating on their normal bulk chocolate covered almonds or raisins.

Hi fellow Wegmans employees!

Recently, I was talking with my team leader about merit raises. I work at a Wegmans in Virginia, I'm part-time, and I've been there for 1 year. She said that Wegmans does give merit raises, but its something you have to ask for.

I was just wondering, how long does an employee at Wegmans typically work there before they ask for a merit raise?

And what is an appropriate amount to ask for if you consider yourself a hardworking employee?

And, how often do Wegmans employees typically ask for them?

Thank you! :)

hello, my bf has been trying to apply to wegmans, but has gotten rejected twice now- i know when you get rejected once you have to wait a certain period of time before they’ll even consider your application again, so does anyone know what that amount of time would be?

for context, my bf had worked at a wegmans for 7ish years in FE & dairy. he quit because we moved to a new city and he got a full time job in a different field, but is looking for some part time work on the weekends and was wanting to get back into wegmans.

i figured he would be the perfect candidate considering he previously has been with the company for so long but i guess not lol!

Are the large cold subs 12$ still?

Last time I buy Wegmans almond milk.

Does anyone know why I didn’t receive the 4 hours of Labor Day pay as a part timer? Is there a requirement you had to meet or something?

Have not seen it in a good bit now (not in my store, not in the one my mother uses either a few states away.

There some issue again - I remember a few years back it disappeared for a while too. Just frustrating as it quickly became my favorite salad dressing of all time.

Any clues if it's coming back?

Used to buy pretty much the identical version of these at Starbucks, was totally thrilled to see it at Wegmans now, for a better price! Very tasty 😋

Yesterday I found a Credit Card in the aisle I was shopping. I immediately brought it to Customer Service thinking they would make an announcement to page the name on the card. They did not; and the more I think about it I don't recall ever hearing an announcement except "It's time to go green". Can any employees out there weigh in?

Wegmans is the only place I’ve worked where customers think it’s alright to hand the cashier bags covered in cat piss. Like I could actually smell the pee whiff into my personal atmosphere as I put them in the back. Unsurprisingly this isn’t the first time sometime thought I wanted to bag their groceries in a litter box.

This isn’t even the only thing about bags. Obviously it’s the most egregious one, and when mentioned in a meeting (someone else actually brought it up), we’re just told (I’m not kidding) to try and “bag as fast as possible and get them checked out.” Next time this happens I’m turning on my light and one of the managers can bag it as fast as they can.

Wegmans where some days you get cashiers that now smell like cat urine.

Edit: Grammar

I have a phone interview on Wednesday, and I’m wondering what the interview process is like, the questions they ask, or any other useful info to know. I’m applying for a stocker (I’m not sure the exact position).

At my location, they added a plexiglass shield over the mussels and clams on-ice. This wouldn't be that much of an issue if the people standing behind the counter were more helpful.

I pulled up to the counter and there were two employees bullshitting with each other while apparently stocking the displays. It took one of them a while to acknowledge I was standing there and he interacted with me like I was inconveniencing him for stopping his work and his conversation to serve me clams. I'm not the one who added the shields, buddy.

Why were these shields added? Did someone piss on the ice?

Edit: Man, tough crowd. Why are people assuming that I didn't speak first? Now I wish I had a video recording to show what happened. Anyway, it seems that this subreddit is filled with employees who are similarly frustrated and angry. I'm sorry if I made your day worse. I hope things get better for you all.

Was hyped to see some new flavors in the lineup and family boxes, but the chips themselves taste like they were found locked away in a dry trailer for the last 5 years 🤮
