r/wegmans

its been getting hot lately, how are the helping hands crew’s fairing with the weather? Stay safe and hydrated yall, and with this heat dont take any anger from coworkers personally. The heat brings the worst in us😂😭

Hi everyone. I have an interview for produce stocker tomorrow and I was just curious what the hours are for this position? It says on the listing morning and afternoon but I can’t find anywhere of anyone saying their actual hours

I've asked everyone above me and gotten several different answers. Different managers have come and gone and they all say different things so I'll just ask here.

I'm the overnight coordinator and as such shrink out all damages on my way out the door. I don't know if all stores do this but we throw damages in banana boxes, lable them and thats that. We compost what we can.

My question is, what would you do with each of the following: Cooking oils, cleaning chemicals, dish soap, vinegar? There's more but these are just some examples. A leaking bottle of cooking oil cannot get dumped down the sink obviously but it also cannot be put leaking into damages. Where does it go? Cleaning chemicals I assume cannot simply be dumped down the sink. Especially corrosive chemicals like drano or bleach. Dish soap I don't think is inherintly dangerous but if the top is broken off of it I'm not going to just dump it down the sink. What do I do? Vinegar, can it get dumped down the sink or is it too acidic for that?

The other day I was caught about to put charcoal which apparently already had lighter fluid on it into a bannana crate. I was sternly told that was not okay and then it was taken from me but I don't know where they ever took it to. I just don't know, lol. Any advice or guidance is appreciated happy 4th sorry for my english.

Edit: what about juice?

So for the last couple weeks every time I go to wegmans half the shelves are empty. They're always out of so many things and half the freezer section is empty. I'm just curious if this is a Wegmans thing or just my store or a supply issue? Is there a good time to go when shelves are more stocked? I usually go early Saturday morning.

Brioche and others still there, but potato rolls gone from shelf and website. I actually liked them better than Martin's. They already took away my lifelong fave Pechter's rye (though I think that was a supply-end issue, as nobody has them).

ive been working in the front end for wegmans for over a year and since i started there have been all new managers for the dpt i work in. all the stls talk bad about each other and always complain about how much work they do. as well, fellow coworkers often tell on each other in my store… so weird. for instance, my coworkers will tell managers if you are on your phone at cafe self checkout, where it’s on the other side of the store and you have nothing to do but stand and stare. my store recently fired one of my only stls who didnt act robotic. is anyone else getting fustruated? im not sure why people treat this job so seriously and act like robots when its a just grocery store.

I was scheduled for 27.5 hours this week. Given that the week ends at 12am Sunday, that means I should see roughly 32 hours (I work overnight) after I clock out in the morning.

Next week, will I see the 32 hours on my check with the remaining 4 hours rolled over into the new timesheet or will I just see the 27.5 that I was scheduled for? I hope that makes sense lol

I start work at 7AM and sometimes I swing in before work to grab something. I have always wondered, why don’t they just have the self checkout lanes open instead of the usual 2 lanes staffed by two nice older ladies?

it's a shame that wegmans doesn't have ANY merchandise for this HUGE 250th anniversary. ALL the one on Dick Rd in Depew had was a tiny cold case with strawberries, blueberries and whipped cream with some mylar balloons in the shapes of 2 5 and 0, wooo

been at Wegmans about 8 months now. I work in grocery. Lot of stocking, lot of walking on that concrete floor bought 4 pairs of shoes since I started.

New Balance, Skechers, some random ones from DSW, even a pair of Hokas. All of them felt okay for like 3 weeks and then the foam just died. My arches are on fire by hour 5 every shift.

I'm tired of spending 60-$100 every few months on stuff that doesn't work.

I looked them up and they're more expensive but honestly I've already spent more on shoes that didn't help. Anyone found something that actually lasts on these floors?

When you go from part time to full time how long does it take to get vacation ?

What’s up with the discontinuation of Prof. Brie? It’s been a part of wegmans cheese lore since forever. Is there a substitute?

EVERY time I open one of those sealed packs of chicken or pork it reeks. I'm told it's a preservative and what allows it to have a 2-week shelf life. I opened a pack of chicken tonight and had to throw it out. It stank so bad. Even after washing it. Honestly, Wegman's quality has really gone downhill. It's nothing like it was even 10 years ago.

I havent heard wegmans talking about banning meta glasses from their premises.

I believe they should as it allows the user to record us without our consent and its like a hidden camera.

I recently started stocking at Wegmans. I’m scheduled 7 hours, work 6 due to breaks. I had 130 live boxes / cases in tea/ coffee/ pb& j aisle. We started doing back stock first, which seemingly took awhile. We also had a team aisle. I then only got through 75 live boxes of coffee. How long should it take to stock 130 mixed of coffee, tea and pb , etc?

I have sent several inquiries about this because of how much of a major problem it is, and even gotten a reply from the assistant manager, but I am still in the process of having a conversation about it.
Something needs to change something needs to happen. This massive grocery franchise makes so much money and this Buffalo city location on Amherst Street has to be one of the busiest and is consistently jampacked… With that being said here is the major problem:
Ready for it....
THE MEN's RESTROOM IS A STRAIGHT UP NONSTOP, SHIT-HOUSE.
Now, I can't speak on if the women's restroom has the same issue. However, there is never been a time really when I've been in the store that the toilets aren't being occupied and sat on.
The issue is why do they have such a small bathroom at such a busy location when they are huge and profitable company that is known for catering to its customers?
The bathroom is so tiny and for some reason it has two stalls.
I am not kidding. This is not a joke. The shitters takes so much abuse and are being used at all times.
Like I mentioned in one of my inquiries, I understand people have to go… But for one, it is nearly impossible to go if you have to, and if you were lucky enough to be one of the ones currently on the shitter… There is constantly an entire crowd jammed in the bathroom, peeking through the cracks in the stall rushing your shit, and hovering over you while you go. It's absolute madness. Part of me laughs while I write this, but it's seriously not a joke.
I don't understand how every person has to shit immediately upon arriving at Wegmans.
This tiny restroom, constantly reeks of feces and is impossible to be kept up by the employees because the toilets are always in use. Not to mention, the employees such as the stock & cart boys are constantly in there blowing up the toilets as well. On top of the customers having to go.
Sometimes you can't even get in there just to urinate in the urinal because there is such a crowd and usually a line outside the bathroom all waiting for the two stalls to be rotated from one shitter to the next.
The next man has to walk into that stall seconds after it was just blown up and walk directly into a feces aroma. You can just see the displeasure on their faces as they have to walk into the stalls.
Even with this issue for some reason, everyone still goes.

Now, as a comparison I visited the East Amherst location on transit Road and boy oh boy what a difference. The main restroom that sits in the regular front of the store location has additional stalls and way more space.
In addition, there is additional restrooms in the café area, including a family, restroom, as well as an additional family style restroom, stall inside of the regular restroom with its own sink, cupboards, the whole nine. If I wanted to, I could've gotten an entire shit completed as well as getting a shave in all on my own long leisurely time. Versus the example I used above about the Amherst location where if I am on the shitter, forget trying to shit in peace as you are being rushed by all the other impatient gentleman with their cheeks puckered up and grunting and complaining. The pressure is unbearable.

In conclusion, this has been a major issue for as long as I can ever remember and every time I am there, there is never a time where those two toilets have rest. Why on earth can't this be fixed with such a lucrative company? I know for a fact Danny Wegman would want this for us. Within the matter of a week, they could renovate this situation install an additional restroom, additional stalls, and just make everyone's life better when attempting to use the restroom.

I would love to hear other thoughts on this.

My managers didn't train me in self self check out until someone couldn't make it MONTHS LATER. I barely get self checkout roles, I have been told I do well as a cashier....but they seem to not let me do anything else BUT CASHIER. It's infuriating...people with way less time here get more self check out time than I do and more chances to cross train and even switch departments....does anyone have advice for what to do about this?
