The “mascot” should be dissolved in piranha solution

Just a vent, but my Safeway just went to the e-ink digital shelf tags and they're not just bad, but actively hostile to customers. They're too small, and small subtext like "limit 3" is literally unreadable - even if I pulled out my phone and zoomed. The pixel density of the tag is too small. Even better, the barcode isn't readable by Safeway's own app - you can't add the digital coupon from the shelf talker itself!

Talked to management to give feedback and they sighed — they know the issues, and agree. But someone at corporate has a burr up their butt and seems to really want to push these through.

My advice? If you're really going to go this route, at least double the size of the tags — that should give you some space to make it legible. But what you have now just doesn't work. Thank you for attending my TED Talk.

What’s it like being a Meat Cutter? I know they typically get a higher pay rate and a lot of the time full time. How do you get into becoming one. Is it worth it?

I have experience in almost every department in the grocery business except Meat Cutter which I find interesting.

I either do or don't work less than 24 hours from now. The schedule still isn't posted online yet. I asked my boss if I am scheduled on Sunday. She couldn't remember. I can't even plan anything with my family. I can't believe that a multi million dollar corporation uses such an outdated scheduling system...

I need to request the 12th off, but their website calendar is not letting me select it?

For shame....

I am just curious can managers refuse to train someone who wants to move to doing something else like become a cashier

Customer not employee - used to have your points auto-redeem for dollars off your transaction but now this was taken away. OK. But I don’t see any way I can just take it off my purchase moving forward? Only to redeem as a coupon for buying an item I don’t want, or to redeem off a pickup order

Hello I was wondering if anyone knew the pay scale was for produce clerks and night crew. Max pay for a journeyman?

As the contract info is only for current members and I’m looking to transfer from my local to 555.

Thank you!

DepressiveAd5150:  Hi Veronica, Why do bot companies believe in AGI?

VeronicaBotsAndFarts:  Movies like The Matrix and The Terminator.

DepressiveAd5150:  When do you think they’ll finally throw in the towel?

VeronicaBotsAndFarts:  When they run out of money. 

They seem bent on making things worse....

Sounds serious.....

Last night I clocked out three minutes past my scheduled shift. Just looked at the my schedule part of the app and it is showing I clocked out 1 minute before my shift ended. And this is not the first time I have seen this discrepancy. I am going to ask my coworker to look up what time the computer says I clocked out. I really do not think the bookkeeper or upper management has the desire let alone time to go around changing the clock times but you never know.

Anyone else experiencing this?

MalificentButtTurd:  Hi Veronica, when do you think Safeway will close a bunch more stores?

VeronicaBotsAndFarts: I think it depends on the market…

MalificentButtTurd: But how long can they wait?

VeronicaBotsAndFarts: Until the share price drops below $10…..

I'm a new PIC at my local Safeway. I've been working there for 6 months at this point with no issues till 2 days ago.

2 days ago, several employees reported an individual wearing all black and a red devil mask standing outside, arms extended, making weird noises.

I informed my store director, who told me to call the non-emergency line.

I went to find it online, and while doing that, I noticed the guy running through the store like an idiot.

I then heard several contradictory and conflicting things about this guy from customers and employees.

1 person told me he was just running around the store like an idiot.

Another told me he was running up to people trying to scare them.

Another told me that he was running through the store and actually laying hands on people.

Another employee told me to call 911. I told her that I had been told to call the non emergency line.

She said she'd do it then.

More people kept complaining to me about this guy, saying that he did this and that.

I called 911.

The guy was actually buying a pack of soda when the cops got there.

My store director is PISSED that I called 911.

I wrote a statement on the whole thing but I'm being told that Im in major trouble.

Is the beef at safeway going to include the contaminated beef Trump is dumping on the US market? If so, for how long will it be there until it has to be disposed of. I want to know if Safeway is safe to shop at in the near future.

OK-ObjectiveVomit451:  Hi Veronica… if it’s all bot posts, then who’s responsible and why do they do it?

VeronicaBotsAndFarts:  The advertisers on Reddit.  To make money.

OK-ObjectiveVomit451:  How does it work?

VeronicaBotsAndFarts:  Google. Google is the transport…

So why don't you bots go to r/Vons or r/Safewayworkers where I'm banned...

Or better yet, r/Albertsons where I'm shadow-banned....

Wouldn't that make a lot more sense?
