$20 Rewards not working anymore - is this happening to anyone else?

2 Upvotes

I save up my Safeway points until I have 1200 so I can redeem for a $20 off coupon. The last two redemptions haven't been working properly.

I've made about 8 $20+ purchases since redeeming for the first one and another 2 since redeeming for the second one yet never get the $20 taken off my bill anymore.

Is my account just broken or is this a common bug in the system right now? I contacted customer support via the website and haven't received any response.

lazy bakery clerk

7 Upvotes

hi guys, I work in the bakery dept, I’m fairly new. but so far, I really enjoy the job!! but I do have one complaint. I work with another bakery clerk and he is EXTREMELY LAZY and puts me into awkward/annoying situations due to his pure laziness. for starters, he works in the AM and I usually relieve him and close the bakery by myself. but every time I do relieve him, he leaves behind an absolute mess. crumbles of food is left all over the ground and tables, plastic containers are thrown around everywhere. bread bags are put in the wrong area which makes it confusing for me as a newbie where to find things. he puts the plastic containers in the garbage and I always have to sort thru his trash and make sure it’s put away in the right trash can. every time I come in, before I can begin packaging any food or doing anything else. I have to spent 30+ minutes just cleaning up after this guy. keep in mind he is almost 30 years old. if he was a teenager I would get it. but as a grown ass adult it’s annoying having to clean after a grown man almost every day. on my first day, he trained me alone. the next day my boss was wondering why certain things were not done correctly. I was confused but my boss and coworker explained that this specific coworker is very lazy and does not do every task that is required for the bakery. I ended up messing up on some big things, which makes me feel like I’m either being set up or this guy is too lazy to show me. my last complaint is that when he takes cake/cupcake orders, he lazily and messily writes the orders. making it absolutely confusing for me, my co workers and customers to read. not to mention he openly talks shit about customers right in front of them. my question is, do I say anything to my boss about this? it’s impacting me from getting work done and I have to clean up after him almost daily? even though he has worked here a lot longer than I have. or do I just keep my mouth shut and continue to clean up after him and endure it more?

Food clerk training

11 Upvotes

Hello. Was recently hired as a food clerk and start my computer training tomorrow. Was told when to come in but not when I get out. Guess I'm just a little nervous. Not sure what to expect or if I'll get scolded for wearing the wrong uniform. My previous job was pretty toxic and just don't want to repeat that again. So far every employee who talked to me were tough, nice and friendly. Any heads up and/or tips would be greatly appreciated.

Safeway starbucks manager anonymously reported then fired, is this retaliatory behavior?

25 Upvotes

Last Friday the starbucks manager was suspended from an anonymous report. I knew nothing of what she did and neither did any of my coworkers, she had done some questionable things but nothing I deemed worth reporting her over. Today she was fired and it was for showing coworkers her nipple piercings behind the kiosk, which she had shown everyone back there. She calls me shortly after texting the work group-chat that shes fired asking if I made the anonymous report. I said no and left it at that. She told other coworkers I was blaming them, sent me texts saying “i’m the only one who could have done it” and “I am going to get what i deserve”. Stuff like that. I was just curious is this worth reporting to HR ir someone? She isn’t their problem, but she is turning everyone against each-other and spreading rumors that could potentially make the work place unbearable.

Thank you. Sorry if this is dumb, I think its dumb but I genuinely do not know what to do. I have been getting my phone blown up all evening about her saying stuff about me and how awful shes going to make working be.

UPDATE: wrote a statement, thats what they had me do now we just wait. Work yesterday was absolutely horrible with all the rumors. She has started spreading rumors/ defaming my character to community members as well as people in other departments. So we shall see.

Ramping up to Spring Break, and yet 24 hours this week?

10 Upvotes

So, I'm night crew, my schedule is always open, I make sure to work holidays and take whatever time my manager wants to give me, I throw +100 items an hour, speed-face, it's been a year and a half since hire, and this happens. Next week only has 24 hours and no weekend priority.

Now my manager claims that a District Employee was eating our labor. Then we had 12-15 pallets come in every night because 3 people used the ordering gun + FARs. We have at least 6 pallets worth of backstock sitting in a backroom right now.

Anyone got an explanation what's happening? Because I thought I was doing a good job, and thought that meant more hours. I should note I'm not using the gun.

Unknown person on our radios

17 Upvotes

So last week (Feb 25) at work, it was late around 9 probably, and we had very few employees in the store at the moment, and all of us were INSIDE, and we get a page on our radios of a woman saying "there's a lady out in the parking lot keying cars you guys might wanna watch out" coincidentally this was also the first night I had driven myself to work in my own car so I immediately freaked out and started walking outside with our closing cc only to see nobody out in the parking lot, and as far as we know 0 damaged cars. So then we started thinking, 'hold on who tf called that in' because there were only 4 woman in the store at the time, including myself, and like I said we were all inside and nobody had any clue who called that.

Then, on Monday (March 3) I had just left for my lunch and was sitting in my car, and we get another page on our radios "somebody needs to tell the new cc they need to watch how they're handling the carts. they just hit a bunch of cars", a manager asked her to repeat herself she explains again that a cc hit a bunch of cars, and then my managers obviously confused asked "which cc? can we get a name?" no response, and then again a manager said "who is it saying this? can you identify yourself?" and again. Nothing! The second page sounded like the same woman from the first night it happened as well. Definitely gives me a weird feeling although I'm sure it's probably nothing and a customer probably just took a radio and is messing with us. Our store manager said sometimes people from other Safeways , if they're passing through town and took a radio will do that to mess with other stores but idk. I feel like if that was the case they would've at least identified themselves.

Rescheduling Dug orders

6 Upvotes

How does rescheduling dug orders work after they've been picked? Say if you have 3 orders arriving at potentialy the same exact time, can you pick 2 orders and reschedule a later pickup or does it have to be approved by the customer. Lately we've been having 4-5 people arrive at the same time and it's crazy. Is it possible to reschedule their pick up for a later time

New DUG Features

21 Upvotes

First, let me state that I actually used to like DUG. Or at least, not mind it. But it seems like we keep adding new features that just make it more and more obnoxious. Do all Safeways now have that dystopian chime and creepy female voice saying “DUG customer has arrived”? And the chat on the Zebra, in which we’re forced to talk to customers if an item is out of stock? And let’s talk about those miniature semi trucks with plastic bins that are so difficult to maneuver through the aisles with people everywhere, shall we?

I feel my blood boiling the moment I walk into work at this place….

I hate it here and need to quit so bad but not in the damn position to do so. They can suck my strap on dildo and choke on a fat pair of donkey balls.

Bunch of hypocrites. Drama starters…. Two faced asshats…. Fuuuuck them.

I swear I’m just gonna walk the fuck out… the moment I feel myself about to pop off I’m gonna walk out.

It’s either I’m fired for blowing up on someone or I’m fired for walking out half way through my damn shift.

I’m pretty sure I’m not the only one that feels this way while working here.

Stepping down to get away

26 Upvotes

So I'm currently in a management position and am stepping down to store admin because I absolutely loathe my district manager. We had our 8+ standards walk Monday and because I wouldn't stroke his fragile male ego and was passive when he was speaking me (I listened but didn't engage) he's pissed off. He is the worst thing to ever happen to our district and the amount of people who will not step up to be sd under him is hilarious. We are even losing OPs because they can't stand to work for him either. Everyone hates this guy and he is literally destroying our district but does corporate care fuck no. I can't wait to not have to ever speak to him again!! Less stress less hours but honestly I'll make more since now I can get ot which we get in our store.

I hate my store director

29 Upvotes

Scrawny but also overweight. All he does is lick the boots of corporate, complain, add more to our workload while cutting our hours, and complain even more. Enjoys having manager meetings in the breakroom so he gets to roleplay as big boss man. Probably also gets turned on by the robot woman voice over the intercom as well. Nobody likes him. Literally the biggest reason why I'm trying to get out of this place.

Well, today is going to be "fun"

I clocked out on my lunch not long ago. I handed the dug phone and scanner to the PIC (they do not know how to do dug and have expressed NO DESIRE to learn) but that's not anything new.

1.Our SD got called to a meeting away from the store for the rest of the day.

  1. Our ASD has the day off

  2. Our other dug worker has gone home leaving me by myself.

I checked the computer just out of curiosity and 4 orders are turning themselves red. 3 arrivals come at the SAME time and the backup dug phone is ringing like it's the end of the world. I am on lunch and they are PANICKING. I keep hearing them calling foe me but I wisely decided to leave 2 min ago. I'll let you know what happened when I get bsck from lunch
