r/WinCo

Past or current order writers, do you have any tips on getting faster and more efficient at ordering? I have recently took up the task of being the main order writer for grocery. In my store (I won't specify which number exactly for privacy) we do a front and back portion of our store with two order writers, one for the cold side (deli and frozen) and one for the dry side (grocery, chemical, paper, and pet). And I have/am the back up for the cold side and have been for about 1 1/2 years. It's been about a month since I started doing dry and I barely finish on time. Any tips on faster and more efficient ways of ordering?

Hey so like the title says I quit working at Winco due to a lot of reasons but when I was talking to the guy I needed too I was never told when my last check would come in I know it normally takes 3 days but I’m also super unsure what my next steps are

was caught shoplifting about $9 worth of merchandise around four months ago. I already paid the civil demand, and I’m currently trying to have the store ban removed.

Some time agThey told me that it may still take some time for them to respond to the letter I sent requesting reconsideration. I called politely, and they simply told me to wait.

My biggest concern is that the police were never involved at the time of the incident, and I’m worried that corporate might review the case now and decide to contact law enforcement months later. Is that something companies typically do after this much time has passed?

This happened in Oregon, and no police report was made when the incident occurred.

My partner and I are both cashiers. She's finishing her last term in undergrad and has a presentation due on Wednesday, but an 8.5 hour shift tomorrow and doesn't have enough sick time to cover it. Would she be able to use vacation hours?

I started shopping at WinCo this year (complete with the inaugural "...Oh you don't accept credit card?") and noticed there's a prompt for a cashback option in different dollar amounts whenever I pay with my Chase debit card. I didn't want to hold up the growing line behind me so I've declined it, but how does this cashback system work? What do the $20, $50, etc options mean? Does it go directly into my savings account? I've always paid with credit card, so I'm not even sure if this is a perk from Chase or from WinCo. Any wisdom would be appreciated, as I'd hate to keep leaving money at the till. Thanks.

Edit: Thanks for the clarification, everyone! I figured I'd rather be embarrassed by asking than stay wrong and ignorant, especially when we're all trying to find savings wherever we can. I recently moved out and didn't have anyone to ask, so I'm glad this community could educate me. Thank you!

I've been working grocery or retail like jobs most of my life. Currently grocery. I'm getting pretty burned out on my employer and my heart is no longer into my job after a could have been eeoc claim with last years store manager treating me poorly. I'm curious is winco the same union as ufcw or is that just the meat department? Is there also a way to look up the pay scale? I don't mind starting low and working to higher wages if there is a good jrnyman wage to consider long term. Thank you.

Does anyone know of the timeline when Dept managers are getting their raises and back pay? Clerks and DC pickers already got theirs but managers timeline has been crickets.

Has anyone tried the Winco taken baked pizza that’s located in the back of the store? Is it edible if I add toppings and cheese?

I used my Canadian debit card from CIBC (interac and Visa branded) last year in store and it worked fine. But today it wouldn't accept it. What is going on?
