With the cap of 10 cases per store they had planned, how the frig did they not stock enough bags to get stores through more than one day? There's x stores served by each warehouse, multiply that by 10 and multiply that by at least 3 days worth!
How was corporate caught so unprepared? The bags are TOS until the 30th
Say it with me: fuckin bags
Ever have those?
I recently had a dream where I was a high school senior girl with telekinetic powers in her first job with trader Joe's, flying around collecting carts that went wandering away from the store, connecting them in midair, and flying with the group of them back to the store. Including after her shift cause there were a bunch of carts right outside her house. (edit typo)
Another weird one was actually getting alcohol, suddenly no longer illegal, and it was being put on our pull out bread shelves.
I love being able to tell these to fellow crew and to customers as well.
Northeast stores get from a bakery in Brooklyn. It's shipped every morning NOT FROZEN and shared every night.
Apparently this isn't company wide?
I was doing final cart run and was like "oh great, they're gonna be shopping 'til like 9:30"
To my absolute shock, they got 2 carts so they could speed blitz each half of their shopping list. It was like 9:07 and they were both done and out the door! They weren't even the last person shopping!
Why can't every person who shops last minute like this be that awesome? I think they actually made the last person in the store realize the time and hurry her shopping along too!
NO PAPER BAGS IN NEW JERSEY. We also lost all our baskets due to theft, as did most other non-TJ stores. As chaotic as it seems, I prefer it. Most customers help bag. The people in this sub that complain about customers not bagging, come to NJ!
Only reason I remember the date is cause it was star wars day. Today is cinco de mayo. Tomorrow is revenge of the sixth. Three holidays in a row!
Our system does that on cash transactions now and it prints on the receipt but it forgets that our drawers can actually have pennies in them sometimes... Kinda goofy.
They've been TOS a month now. Hate not being able to give stickers to kids...
