    I was a bagger for like 2 days before I quit. I'm 15 and it was my first job. I left because my supervisor was irritated at me because a customer complained that I pit meat with cleaning supplies (I hadn't had proper training at this point) and told me off in front of a bunch of customers. Now I'm very sensitive, especially when I believe I've failed at something. I burst into tears when I got into my car.

      I'm so sorry about this experience. I was lucky to be trained thoroughly but others aren't so lucky. The person who trained me was only there for a month. I know quite a few that teach the baggers how to bag plastic and leave them to do their work. It's horrible. On my second week, a woman asked me if i was even professionally trained after i put the avacados under the bananas... I wanted to say no.

    here are some things you missed :
    * people standing in front of the item you need to restock.
    * customers grabbing the items out of your hands as your are scanning them.
    * crying children
    * rude customers
    * customers asking you for things that you don't have a clue about, using you as a private butler to find all their shit for them, while you know your manager is going to ride your ass in 20 minutes because the pallet is not unloaded in time.
    * customers not saying hello back (this shit eats at your soul after a while; am i even considered a human being in this place ? )
    * people that try to sneak items past the registers without you noticing. It's a good deal for them, for us, it costs us our job.
    * either i am up at 6am to work this shit job, or i am home at 9pm from doing this shit job.

      Oh my gosh every single thing you said is the most ridiculous shit that I have to deal with every day at my store from customers that I just want to freaking flip the fuck out seriously it's crazy. I've been working there for years and so I have got to the point where I do not let these customers flip me out like this like I used to just cater to them do it I really want you know yes ma'am you know have a good day anything else you want blah blah blah not anymore I have been so trashed by customers that I've gotten to the point where I have standards I have boundaries and they don't need to come to the store and act like that and what's really awesome is I have a boss that backs us up that work there because he doesn't like those customers treat us like that either so that is probably why I've been there for 5 years however I have learned to in my department cuz I run a department that's really busy and it's actually a non-food items department it's dinner merchandise in the grocery store which you know everybody has to look at everything and most of the time my department just gets trashed all day because of the children that are allowed to just grab everything so I just have got to the point where if they're asking for something it's not in the shelf no I don't have it I'm not going to get up or leave whatever I'm doing usually I'm you know my knees stalking my freaking shelves I'm not going to go in back and dig through my back stock for something that you want that you bought before and it's not there now I mean I cannot believe that density of these people just wanting to be catered to like that but yeah what really chaps me is when they try to go through the boxes on my U-boat while I'm trying to stop them yeah it's like really you can't go around the corner down a couple aisles and come back in 5 minutes like I don't take half hour to stock one case of an item I mean common sense it's just rude it is so rude and pushy and I won't accept it in my aisle fuck that I do not let customers push me around like that you know I am pretty competent and I usually have my aisle fully stocked where you know I really don't come into issues like that anymore I've kind of learned how to run a department where customers aren't like that so yeah it's crazy though to try to freaking have to put up with this crap from these people so I don't know I like your list though way way on point

      My section manager has been there 16 years, my mind would blow. I am in my late 50’s having done lots of other jobs and this ranks as one of the bottom ones. Although it could have been more enjoyable apart from the way they make you do it, working an aisle on your own is very dreary, if you work as a team I think you motivate each other and get it done faster but they like to split you up for some reason. Also to then get very bad on the job training just to then be told you have taken too long with the chilled and its been outside the chiller for too long - well you are the manager and you could have come to check on me in those two hours it has taken me but no - you prefer to wait until I have done my best to then call me out on it. what’s worse is he gave me that cage to do so he knew how much was on it, he knew this was my sixth night and he knew I hadn’t done much chilled work before - so I kind of feel he did it on purpose. Well good luck to him cos now Ive resigned and wont be going back (even though I am meant to work my notice - but that wont be happening) In fact it would be a great idea for all kids to have to do this kind of mind numbing work ‘cos then they would realize that they need to strive for something better and more stimulating and fulfilling.

      niki moore I like wat you said about how kids should do this type of work. I completely agree. I'm working harder now than ever to get out of this grocery store and do something more fulfilling and satisfying with my life. I dont want to get trapped and end up miserable and dead. I've learned a huge lesson of life being here. I can at least take that away from this hell 😂

    • @sfc282d
      @sfc282d 6 лет назад +2

      Shadrach, good for you...definitely don't get trapped there for life you will become institutionalised ! I'm not knocking people who DO work in grocery stores as its a job that HAS to be done I realise that.. I am in the fortunate situation where I don't NEED to work and if I did really require the income then I expect I would have stuck it out as there ARE worse jobs ...but just be prepared to be treated like you are an idiot but also that you should instantly pick everything up at once all at the same time. At least that's MY experience. Also round by the cardboard and plastic squashing machines it stank really bad like cat pee...and there is a constant whine of an electrical warning device of some kind that they apparently won't rectify because it just repeatedly fails again...so that irritates your ears. A minor but still valid reason which fuelled my decision that I needed to get out of there. ! Oh the sweet feeling of relief as you fill in the resignation section on your online personal profile....taking back control of your life...! I think when my line manager told me early on that they ask employees to plan their annual leave a year in advance so it helps the business to plan ahead I should have realised they want to OWN you ...well no thanks. I'll stay a bit poorer and keep control of my life thanks very much. I probably annoyed my line manager with my attitude I expect as I'm not very receptive to being treated like a dumb fool. OK I should stop venting now. But I'm not kidding the recruitment process was really intense to work for this particular company so I definitely expected that they would have far better on the job training ...instead it's a load of online testing which wasn't that hard to pass and then they launch you onto the shop floor and somehow expect you to magically know where everything is and how to get it done. In the training you are told you will get a "buddy" until you are confident and have learnt enough...in practice my manager said oh you won't get one ..it will be me who is your "buddy" (and to three other new starters at the same time) but how can he be my buddy when he only spoke to me when he gave me a task ...and his checking in consisted of wandering past once or twice (except notice NOT when I was doing the chilled work which he called me out on...never saw him once when I was ploughing through that) and saying 'how are you getting on' super helpful.

    Rule #1 ignore everything that doesn’t pertain to your job if you are asked to do something that is out of your position do it and report the company to the union if a situation ever arrives where you mess up bam fired .
    Rule #2 it’s open season whenever a customer is upset you are an open target if you ever experience a tough situation walk away and go to the break room or just stand there and wait for a manager.
    Rule #3 don’t stay working there for a long time the reason why these stores are always hiring is because they don’t take care of their workers they care more about treating their customers with a golden spoon no matter what they do you will always be at fault . At the very least when you call a manager they are gonna be the ones that get screwed over .
    Last but not least you will probably be suspended if you do mess up and hr will never call you back it will be solved in 2 weeks they do this tactic to make you quit always stick it out and make them fire you fight for the job even if you don’t want it eventually all that stuff will bite them back.

The 5 things I hated most were: spreading the stuff off the skids, having to listen to the repetitive music every night (there are songs I now hate), not having two consecutive days off (which I had to get a doctor’s note for), the garbage room (it stunk), and being talked to sharp and insensitive by rude bosses (which could happen on any job)!

      @@ExtremeMan10 I worked at amazon grocery store for almost 2 years. I was thinking of quitting or finding something else that isn’t so mediocre, the people are fake, favoritism, and it really does suck your soul. I broke my knuckle roller skating so thankfully had a few months off, when I went back I was so over it!! I was only able to face the store since I had been injured so it was really hard to face the entire store for 8 hours straight. I had no love in what I was doing, I felt like a slave. I was fired 6 months ago because I kept showing up late and calling out, I was really over it and so unmotivated. I feel so free now!! But get this, I recently have been thinking of leaving my partner and so I applied to a grocery store right down the street from where I was going to move and I had orientation yesterday. I was told to come back today and I couldn’t muster up the will to go.They had already scheduled me for a 4 am shift, so already I was over it! That’s why I came here to give myself more conviction as to why I won’t work at grocery stores. My partner is begging me to stay, saying he will change this time, and that we will create our own stream of income making juices and psychedelic mushies. Lots of decisions to be made, and working in a grocery store Is not one of them.

    dang ive heard bad things from grocery and retail but my experience is different, i worked at target for about 3 months and was easy af; my schedule was usually from 6am to 2:30 or from 4am to 12pm sometimes would be hard cause i had night shift the night before and i wouldnt be up to par, but i would power through. My main jobs were mostly doing inbound which was taking the pallets off the truck and loading them on carts then putting then on shelves. Usually i would help customers with help but i would be brutally honest if i didn't know anything. I did a good job since I would be zooming through carts of boxes stocked and them managers would be hella chill with me, sometimes they didnt give a fuck if i had my buds in while customers are around and since its target its the code to wear red but sometimes i would too tired from working the night before and would just slap on a camo shirt and never wear my name tag but my bosses would never say anything and usually be like "whats up or keep up the good work"
    Maybe Im just different, im used to working my ass off in a site framing wall, using power tools,etc and being out in the sun. So when people say grocery or retail sucks I kinda look at them crazy eyed; like your in a air conditioned building, you dont have the sun beating the fuck outta you, most managers don't say squat compared to foreman swearing like sailers, and not to mention working night shifts on the highway when you gotta deal with tweakers or people throwing drinks at you for "holding up the traffic" like nah fool.

Working full time hrs with no benefits. Promises of pay raises, full time benefits, possible overnight manager position. I have no faith in upper management. I'm the fool for staying. Having started with a full crew, now just 5 to 4 of us on truck nights, and 2 to 3 on non truck nights. The increased work load and current employees looking to leave including my boss. I find myself asking why the fuck would I want the manager position. Cause it's only a $2 raise. Which would still be less than a non manager position at Target or as an apprentice at a plumbing company.

      Also I see people in here not liking the music and I’m sure it’s annoying but I’m used to listening to a loud machine going on the whole time so I think listening to something a bit less quiet wouldn’t be as bad for me
