Seriously, how are we doing?

Y’all, I feel like they’re playing a joke on us. They won’t hire anybody, but they’re slowly killing us. Every department in my store is understaffed. The workload is too heavy for such little time, or they expect so much to get done in such a short time. Coworkers are calling out because they’re just tired, which I understand.

What Month Did You Get Hired?

Caption pretty self explanatory. Wondering if there's more winter or spring hires here. I was hired in mid October. Who else cares to share?

What’s the deal with boxes?

  1. Is it true that as a shopper, I can take box from a shelf on a random isle? Given that it is empty (or if I’m taking the last of an item)?

  2. Can I grab them ahead of time when I arrive, and then shop with them? Idk why I would but still.

  3. Am I allowed to ask the cashier for a box?

  4. After I pay, let’s say I didn’t use a box (cashier was busy/didn’t have any on hand/ etc.) . Am I allowed to go over to the stack of boxes and just do it myself?

I want to be respectful, I also don’t want to have the items loose in my car.

My reusable bags will hold some stuff, but some is too large.

Thank you!

Holiday pay?

Does anyone know why it would say work history violation on my timecard for the 4th? I’ve never called out before and worked my scheduled shift on the 2nd and my shift today. (was scheduled off on the 3rd)

Pay at Costco

I'm in Illinois near Orland Park Costco. I am strongly interested in working at Costco. Can someone tell me the difference between a depot truck driver and a fleet truck driver? I do not have my CDL A but I saw they are well paid at Costco. Also is it possible to get hired as a truck driver for Costco right out of CDL school?

Also I have a family member interested in working as a cashier at Costco, if they work full time how many years will it take to get to $30 an hour? A Costco cashier in Illinois starts off at $21 an hour.

Thank you!!!

Thoughts on morning merch.

So I’m currently working front end, I’m an assistant but mainly cash. There is a posting for morning merch right now part time. I’m really considering it as I’d be done by 9am and could then go about my day. Just curious as to your experience working it, if you liked it more then front end and if you get offered extra hours often or not.

Management

I don’t know what to do here. I was seasonal around thanksgiving/christmas, never let go and then called back, I made it through the hunger games. One of the only seasonal on the front end that they decided to keep on. No call back. No disruption in scheduling. Everything good. Passed through 90 day probation no problem. Probation period ended and now 3 months in..I’m apparently having issues. Angry member? (I say member, as in one, he was mad I needed to scan his membership for 9-10am hour exclusively for executive members.) Office meeting. I won’t go into detail too much as to risk my identity, but some of these managers are dumb as hell, nasty and mean, and I just don’t even know how they got the position. Costco just does whatever they want. Seniority blah blah bah. No training or idea about being a kind f ing person. It’s not that hard to do a great job and be a great person. F you right un the arssee

Front End Supervisor

I have somehow just got promoted to be a Front-End Supervisor. I started working at Costco about 8 months ago and my only experience is in Majors for 7 months and Membership for 1 month. Does anyone have good tips or some things I should know before starting this position? Also I have not used a front-end cash drawer before, what are some good commands I should know? Anything helps. Thank you

How soon is too soon to leave a building?

For context I’m a supervisor, i’ve been at this building two months. There’s another supervisor spot open at a building MUCH closer to me and i’m thinking about putting my name in. I just don’t wanna do my current people dirty, I really like them and I know they went through a lot to hire me and everything. They also aren’t in the greatest spot people wise at the moment.

I’m super conflicted, anyone have some input for me?

Ecom position

Im little nervous since I applied and actually got it, my work station just arrived today😖 is it as hard as everyone say? I have school too, do you think they would be lenient on giving me Tuesdays off? What should I expect? I know it’s based by seniority but I really need Tuesdays off :( I’m also a part time cashier

Please let me know any tips or tricks, It would be most appreciated!!! Thank you!

Required steel/composite toe

If I can get 2 pairs for $150 is that acceptable. Or is it singleton/Unitary to one pair?

Closing

So I have been working here for about 8-9 months in the meat department. After 5 months they hired 2 new people who I trained to close. They bumped me to more of a mid shift for 1 week than put me back to night crew. One person transferred to stock and now I’m stuck with another person who does absolutely nothing. How long is it normally until you actually move up from night crew? I like the department but idk how much longer I can last with closing. Mind you the other person who closes with me doesn’t even do the room, dishes or weekly’s ever. It’s pretty frustrating. I’ve talked to my manager at least 3 times but nothing has ever been done. I’m just at a stand still rn and don’t know what I should do.

Have to call our fir 3 days..

Been there 8 years and never even had a pattern notice I barely call in sick.

I have a family emergency that is taking me out of the province for 3 days. In Quebec we only need a letter for the 4th day off but considering this is a family emergency what should I say when I call? Should I just talk straight to HR?
