>I am in leadership at a Seattle Whole Foods location, and tomorrow, I am encouraging my Team to call out sick, regardless of their current health. I am no longer comfortable asking them to show up to work. My hands are bleeding from washing and sanitizing. Each time Governor Inslee shuts down another sector of business, another wave of scared shoppers flood the store.
>While the rest of the city is reducing their exposure and therefore their risk, we are in the unfortunate position of putting ourselves on the front lines of exposure. Besides the medical industry, grocers and pharmacists are the very last to shutter the doors. The medical industry has assumed risk, and are compensated appropriately. Pharmacists' salary estimate for Seattle is 110k-140k yearly. How the hell am I supposed to tell some cashier to show up and subject themselves to this for 16.90 an hour?

The shareholders and CEO are actually not making money “hand over fists” right now...

It's really heartbreaking thinking about all of these poor folks. I have a buddy who manages the night crews at a Costco. This poor bugger was looking drained from about 3 weeks ago, because even then people were clearing stock. It's an endless horde of potentially sick and violent customers, who're afraid and not acting reasonably.
Folks working in the grocery stores deserve hazard pay.

train the cashiers at grocery stores in the use of masks, provide them with masks and gloves. and give them extra pay during officially declared pandemics. seems fair. but then again supermarkets have notoriously tight profit margins.

>>ungh i work at a grocery store
>>feel sorry because my poor life decisions led me to be here.
Every single grocery store has been packed wall-to-wall every hour of the day for the last 3 months straight, and people are buying multiple shopping carts full of stuff, they're buying so much stuff that carts won't hold it all and customers are dragging pallets around on pallet jacks to hold all their purchases.
If the CEO's aren't somehow making more money from all this, they have got to be the stupidest sons of bitches born under the stupidest star ever of all time.

you can always tell who has never worked an actual hard manual labor job from sun up to sun down in extreme heat/cold and hands are softer than a newborns belly

>Call out
What do they mean by this?
William Clark
Because they have such insanely high turnover.
It costs a lot to be as goddamned cheap and tight-fisted as humanly fucking possible. It's expensive as fuck in the long-run to screw everybody over as much as you can. But they never learn. Keynesian ideology, I guess. What else do they learn in business school?

This. It's not anyone's fault but their own that they chose to whore it up and do drugs in high school.

Hi I’m a liberal seattlite working at a fag mega Corp for scraps of wages. I’m sad that I didn’t chose to work at Starbucks for a different fag or any other fag entertainment industry. That way I could be fully unemployment right now.
Instead I decided to work at a fuckin Amazon vegan hippy grocery store serving Seattle’s vegan onions fag population.

alberson's corporate head has banned employees from wearing masks and gloves for no specified reason
once my managers told me i had to either take off my mask or leave, i left
Good, fuck them. You'll make it user, you made the right choice.
Hunter Long
I don't get the mask shaming.
Jordan Brooks

I’ve had to pay out of pocket to supply us with gloves. Our upper management hasn’t said as much as a thank you but criticizes us at every turn

Isaiah Nguyen
i bet you corporate dogs (pets of the jew) wouldn't dare step foot in one of your own retail locations without PPE
thanks, i think it was god's way of getting me the hell out of that death trap. it's going to pain me to hear about my ex-coworkers collapsing on the sales floor due to respiratory/organ failure, slaving to some company that cares more about sales than the employees
Benjamin Wright
Redditfag has a point at the moment the employees have a shit ton of leverage. If they want to make $30 an hour now is the time. Supply and demand.
>get call back for comfy stocker position at home depot last week >Ignore it because I'd rather stay broke and isolated with my senpai than taking the bus to some wagecuck job Kinda sucks, I've been looking for decent part time work and finally found something, but it just ain't worth it right now. God has spoken, and he wants me to remain a NEET for the time being
Hudson Green
>Stores selling out supply so fast they actually can't restock fast enough to meet demand >Not making money Based retard. This is every retailer's wet dream. Why do you think stores have sales?
Ryder Wood
Get in the Van. You've got shelves to stock wagie.
Anyone who t is afraid should kill themselves immediately
Chase Hall
This. /thread
Josiah Evans
Depends on the prices they're paying to restock. We don't know if they're being charged more for these goods and if so, they may actually be making less than they normally would have.
John Myers
Do they realise how easily replaceable they're? Time to put in more self serve checkouts.
Hudson Edwards
they think it will drive away business by raising concern among the customers. they want to keep everyone (((calm))), even if that means risking employees' health
honestly i understood the mask thing, but when i heard that they didn't want us wearing gloves either, i yeeted the fuck out of there
(Or maybe (((corporate))) is getting orders from even (((((higher up))))) anticipating everyone to get infected to fulfill larger ((((((((((agendas)))))))))).)

Anyway, nobody is forcing them to work. Call in sick like noncucks do when they don’t want to work or just quit. If you know you’re getting fucked and don’t like it why would you keep your skirt up?
I don’t care if you’re a week away from homelessness. There are heroin addicted who not only can afford heroin without a job, but can also find a warm bed to sleep in (and even a druggie bitch to fuck.) Are you less self sufficient than a heroin addict?
Benjamin Brown
You're a fucking retard you realize these same whores go to college and get a job as a teacher/nurse or some dumb shit the people who work retail jobs are the commoners of society, the ones who were too poor to go to college.
Alexander Ross
It's short for "Calling out of work". Letting them know you'll be out of the workplace for the day. It's the better phrase because it doesn't have a reason attached to it, and if you remove the word 'sick' from "calling in sick" it loses the implied meaning of you not being there.

Knoa the feels. Supermarket worker here. Won't let us wear masks. It "upsets the customers" ( who are all wearing masks). No extra staff, no change to routines to focus on filling shelves. No extra stock of stuff we need, still just sending us Easter Eggs and shit. No cops or security. I'm in one of the major zones. Sick people everywhere, people cough and sneeze on you. Company won't even provide hand sanitizer.
Only upside - I have a job, and lots of overtime. Meanwhile everyone else I know is getting laid off or fired. I have Uni grads waking in and getting hired off the street. Some of them can see the writing on the wall I guess.
Zachary Gomez
Why in the fuck can't I just order the food online and pick it up in a box outside the store? There's literally no reason for anyone to go inside the grocery store other than sheer incompetence and laziness to change process to fit this new reality.
Bullshit. We have never seen sales like this in the history of the business. Their operating costs have barely changed. Hence the shelves being empty. They don't want to hire more workers to meet demand because they are scared they will be stuck with them come turn down.
Angel King
I work at Publix and they won't let you wear gloves or masks.
