Are we “legally” allowed to be packaging the pumpkin pies in packaging that says “fresh baked daily”? I mean we literally have a case frozen for weeks before we finally pull all of it from the freezer during thaw and stock. I feel like it’s asking for some sort of lawsuit
Hey y’all! I recently got hired on as an outside hire for the service manager position. I have no idea what to expect. If y’all have some insight I’d love to hear it.
Hi, has anyone had their ASM or DM ask them to scan shrink into department 70 on a regular basis?
First off, i don't understand why sprouts uses an AI program to do their schedules but my coworkers and I have been all getting like 2 days a week and 5 hour shifts at that. Then when people have to look for other jobs they get upset. Is summer usually just time for hours cut or what but then people will change availability and the AI program will tell our manager oh looks like you need to hire more people and then they do and more hours are cut cut cut. So annoying
I just recently was promoted last month. I have my first call coming up and it’s making me anxious for some reason. Can someone tell me what it’s like and some tips? I was promoted but haven’t been to any formal training because I haven’t had an assistant and one clerk.
I’m currently a vitamin manager and have been for 9 years. Our schematic coordinator took a leave of absence so I’ve been filling in and doing my job also. It gives my clerks extra hours with me doing both. That position is now open and I’ve been debating whether or not to apply. I love doing both jobs but if I apply for schematics I would lose $3 an hour. Pro and Cons for both positions. Any advice?
If you leave an hr early (Ecom) will you still receive holiday pay ? It’s so dead I’m dying. No truck to put away no pick list to do 😭 No favorite homies on this shift.
Anyone know if sprouts discontinued this product? I haven’t seen it stocked in months. It was one of my favorites
I work at a store in Florida and yesterday during their huddle, they announced that we get 25% off all of July. Is that Sprouts wide? Does anyone have any insight as to why? The company can’t be that nice.. a coworker of mine said they think it’s because numbers are way down and this is a way to boost sales. What do you all think?
I swear to god I’m one request away from full crashing out on all of management, district director included, if they want active sampling THEY BETTER FUCKING SCHEDULE THE SALES AMBASSADOR WHO GETS PAID TO FUCKING ACTIVE SAMPLE. I have a total of 3 people in my entire department, I am so f*cking tired of being stopped and asked to sample something so management can take pictures.
I just interviewed today and I am just now reading how horrible it is on here... I am in California... LOL
Hello,
I had a case of bad food poisoning that didn’t happen until 11pm last night and my shift started at 7 today. I was told previously that the phone line doesn’t work at the offline hours (between 10pm-7am). However, when I did call this morning the assistant manager just stated “why didn’t you call out yesterday? I’m going to mark this as an improper call out.” I’m kind of panicking and vomiting at the same time 😭. Literally just debating to just show up because the tone of it sounded super mad that it’s making me even more anxious.
My questions are that, if you do have an early shift like that how are we supposed to notify the store? Also how many improper callouts are we allowed to make? This is my first one and I’m overthinking this so much right now
we got a 71% on sustainability and the SM said it’s my fault. I ask everyone over and over, constantly, to compost and they constantly hold their compost until after I leave then dump it all in the trash. i keep telling them that the score affects PCR but they don’t care. i made custom signage on top of the provided signage to make sure everything is completely clear and OVER communicated. just feeling really shitty as a receiver
a bit of a vent from a new schematics coordinator
I work at a new store that opened last August. It's been a downhill decline since because grocery has so much back stock they just throw things wherever they want and don't care. I've brought it up to management, talked in team huddles. That is already defeating bc I'm blamed for constant back stock that I wheel in the back, but they don't bother fixing things to ask why.
Now, with project COW, I'm not sure how this is going to go. I don't want to fail my PCR because store management can't keep up or try to fix our problems with trucks or back stock. I'm tired of trying to communicate with my management team because they simply don't care when they pretend to. Items aren't on the floor because they shove the shelves full with extra facings that aren't supposed to be there. I don't blame my grocery team for these issues, but I'm frustrated at the lack of communication between me and all departments.
Other schematics coordinators, is there anything y'all have done to help correct similar issues or is this just normal thing for our position? Am I just supposed to accept that, once we have the Project COW stuff set up, i take the blame for any inaccuracies? I was under the impression our jobs were pretty important in training, but now I feel like it's just a joke to keep this job but honestly I'm just doing it for the money now.
So I found out the auditor is in the Dallas mecto will it be likely she goes to the Oklahoma region next?
Im 16 and i applied to sprouts as a courtesy clerk,
We did an interview on Saturday and we talked for about an hour, he ended up saying he would give me a chance for this role,he then shook my hand and told me all he needs to do is circle yes on the back of his interview paper.
He then told me i would hear back on Tuesday (today) from another manager that handles hiring, he said he didn’t know the time or how the other manager would get back to me.
Should i end up calling them today to follow up? If so what time?
I just received the email that i have got the job and ive been signing the forms and stuff and i was just wondering when i will be getting started and how will the orientation would work?
Also whats the average day of a courtesy clerk look like?
I am an assistant manager and was just informed an employee in my department has been talking about me saying I did not train her well when she’s still training and it hasn’t been a week, should I leave it alone or bring it to my department managers attention. I am also fairly new but I don’t know if this is something to nip in the butt or to just leave it be for now? It doesn’t hurt my feelings since I have come from many management positions before but we all get along in the department and I don’t want it causing problems and drama for any of the other workers
So I have an interview for an assistant manager position at my store, I’ve been with the company for 2 months, I know you’re supposed to have been there for 6 months before you can move up but ghe GM said exceptions can be made for the right fit. So far I was told no one in the store applied for this position, but we have 2 outside people who applied. I’m not new to managing, I was a kitchen lead at my last game for 5 years who basically managed since the kitchen manager never really did his job. So I have an idea of managing but this is still very new to be. Before moving to a retail job, I’ve only ever worked kitchen jobs. Since moving to retail tho, I’ve learned how to do a lot of things. I’m just a dairy clerk so small department. I within weeks I’ve learned to do truck orders (I actually do the truck orders for dairy now). A lot of basic stuff like demo and transfers, marking down things for manager specials, ordering the thinstore periscope with zebras, among a few other things. I know grocery is the biggest department in the store so basically everything I’m doing now 10x. I’ve worked a few grocery shifts so I have an idea how it goes. The current grocery manager thinks I’ll be a good fit and already wants me to be his right hand man. But it’s up to the GM. I want to make a great impression on this interview so I was wondering if anyone had any tips or suggestions on how I can ace this interview !
Hello. Anyone know what's up with the new discounts on reduced deli foods? Until yesterday, I'd only ever seen 25-30% on items in that area, but when I went in yesterday, all the reduced items had something crazy like 70-75% off, even with the use/best by dates being the usual time away.
& While they're still on those annoying-to-scan double tear yellow labels, the format seems to have changed to. Is this a temporary thing or something? If so, I wanna know so I can strike while the iron is hot & take advantage of it. Was blown away paying ~$7 for a baguette&salad combo thingy, an ahi tuna bowl, and two bottles of tea lol
