  • Today I bring you along with me for a day in the life at my work as an Amazon Prime Now Shopper (at a Wholefoods location). I am not actually clocked in in all of the clips of the video. But I hope this gives you all a better idea of what it's like to work at Amazon. I have been working at Amazon for over half a year, and I have no complaints so far. It is a very chill work environment and I would recommend it for college students and anyone who wants to make extra income. This video is not affiliated with Amazon, nor am I getting paid to make this video. All opinions are my own.

    I used to work as an Amazon shopper but for a warehouse location rather than Wholefoods, and at one point we had people, doing exactly what you do, came over to our site as temporary (as a helping hand). I talked to the girl that does what you do, said she came over here to see what it was like for us warehouse shopper compares to wholefood shoppers (yes this is still Amazon) and she was telling just how crazy fast pace our side of the job were compares to hers, and that we also had a walk in fridge and walk-in freezer while they had none. If anyone was wondering, us Amazon warehouse shopper had HUGE size walk-in fridge as well as walk-in freezer, and as the names suggested, these fridge and freezers were so big that you can literally walk inside them to grab food such as refrigerated or frozen items such as milk, or ice cream, respectively. And also yes, we had to stow (restock) items in those said walk-in freezers and fridge and all the girls in my warehouse HATES and I mena HATEEEEESSS working in the walk-in freezers…HATES. haha. But yeah she was saying that I should switch over to her wholefoods site with her instead because we warehouse had to pick up shifts like wholefoods shopper does, bit our shifts were only 4 hours (per shift) and I believe you guys get 4 and 5 hour shifts instead? The only thing she absolutely love was how much fin and energy me and a few of my fellow warehouse workers bring to our job sites. Faster pace workers tends to be much more energetic, outgoing, and athletic than counter-parts. And she was right, I absolutely love talking to people, silence makes me uncomfortable and I love making my introverted colleagues feeling like their apart of something and everybody at that sites loved me, no lie.
    One thing extra: due to our being a much faster pace than WholeFS is, we warehouse worker could be walking from anywhere between 10-15 miles per day, and that was in a tiny warehouse ~ they recently move (and definitely yes MOVED) to a much bigger warehouse (3 to 4 times the size of our previous location). Thank you for the video

They're able to pick their schedule a week in advance & usually enough shifts there unlike regular). If you're struggling to get shifts, you're gonna struggle to make money.

    • @XimenaSalinas
      @XimenaSalinas  3 года назад +2

      It's simpler to see which day you're picking with AtoZ, but you have to click on separate days to choose a shift and that to me takes up a lot of time. Shifts might be gone by the time you pick a shift on another day.
      So lets say today is Sunday, shifts that drop today at 6:15pm are three days ahead. So, you should be seeing tuesdays and wednesdays shifts I believe (maybe monday if your site is running low on shifts or has a predicted spike day and will need more shoppers.

    I entered the Whole Food Market / Foggy Bottom, Washington, DC with the intent of purchasing bath soap. I was carrying a reusable grocery bag containing two items I had just purchased from CVS.
    Without touching Whole Foods merchandise, I visually determined that this location was sold out of the brand of soap that I wanted therefore I proceeded to the exit.
    Before reaching the exit, I was stopped by Troy a Whole Foods Associate who informed me that I could not put Whole Foods merchandise into my bag without first paying for it. Further, he stated that there’s a sign had been posted near the entrance.
    I also noticed that the store security officer had moved from the entrance and positioned himself at the top of the stairway used to exit from the lower level of the store.
    I am concerned as to why Troy needed to remind me of a store policy that I had not remotely violated as I had not so much as touched Whole Foods merchandise and why a security officer was placed on “stand-by”.
    Is Whole Foods / Foggy Bottom profiling, everyone, with a reusable bag as a thief. Or, do I fit a particular profile?

    • @XimenaSalinas
      @XimenaSalinas  3 года назад +1

      Thank you, AtoZ is honsetly more complicated than amazon moment (in my opinion).
      One thing I like about AtoZ, is that you're able to narrow down which site you would like to work at (if you can work at multiple sites). And you can also see different days instead of a dropdown schedule (which was harder to differentiate the days)
      The downside to this, is that shifts might be gone if you click on the next day. The time it takes to refresh the page to look at the following day shifts could be time in which other people are picking the other shifts and you might not find any more shifts as a result. I hope that makes sense lol.

    WHOLE FOODS PROFILES - CHAPTER II
    THE RESPONSE: A Whole Foods Rep reached out with the generic “I am sorry that you had a bad experience at the Foggy Bottom location.”.
    However, she seemed vague and confused as to why CRIMINAL PROFILING IS NOT OK.
    When asked about the Security Office being called on me, she fibbed and insinuated that security was making his rounds and just happened to be standing at the top of the EXIT ONLY stairs.
    The security guard is stationed at the front entrance of the store adjacent to the stairs leading DOWN to the lower level. If he truly was making his rounds (due to the layout of the store) it would have made better sense for him to:
    1. Take the stairs to the lower level
    2. Walk the lower level
    3. Take the stairs to the upper level
    4. Walk the upper level
    5. Return to his position
    So, the Whole Foods Rep either: neglected to view the security footage and (to protect Whole Foods) assumed that Security was making his rounds or viewed the security footage and lied to protect Whole Foods.
    I find this attempt to placate to be amateurish and insulting.
