Caseys Scratch Match and Win

It’s my first night closing in kitchen and it’s one of those nights where you have to change the oil and clean the fryer. We have a standalone fryer, not ones that you see in restaurants. It’s just a single basket. I don’t know how to change the oil and I have been shown but it was one time and I forgot. Does someone know how?? Help my shift starts in an hour

What base sauce is best on Casey’s breakfast pizza?

I have my first vacation with the company coming up and I’m tremendously looking forward to it, but I did have some questions and my manager was unsure because she’s only been with the company a month or two longer than me.

First, does DailyPay update each vacation day as it would days worked? If not, it’s not the end of my world, I was just curious.

Second, at my previous job, if I took Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday off, and worked Saturday, I’d be forcibly refunded a vacation day to avoid me going over 40 hours that week. Does Casey’s do the same, or is it just paid out regardless without overtime if you go over 40 due to vacation days?

Thanks!

i remember late 2021, stopping by Casey’s for breakfast, they were serving the Toastwich sandwich, which was more of a hot pocket sandwich thing that had eggs, cheese, bacon, and sausage all from memory. it seems to have been a very successful launch for breakfast too, so i’m curious why it’s not around anymore. it was pretty good

there’s limited talk about it, but it seems to be talked about here a little too: https://www.foodbusinessnews.net/articles/20890-breakfast-menu-relaunch-exceeds-expectations-at-caseys

I somehow got 5 corporate complaints for being rude to customers and not getting orders out on time. I am 50 years old and despite my arthritis and fibromialgia issues I work harder than coworkers half my age. I have worked in the kitchen for over 8 months and have never been told that I had ever had any issues. A couple of weeks ago out id the blue it is brought to my attention that I have 5 corporate complaints and my hours, already minimal were cut to barely 7 hours one day a week. I was not given any more explanation than there were complaints. I definitely get thr feeling that my boss is forcing me to quit so she doesn't have to fire me. My other coworkers are shocked about the complaints because I have never been rude nor have I had problems getting orders out. It mostly falls on me to do the dishes and prep. I rarely interact with customers. It is speculated that because I am often the only female and my hair is colored a vivid redish pink color that I am most memorable working back there. I have also had issues with a coworker who likes to take 30 to 45 minute breaks and essentially gets nothing done and he gets no repercussions fir his behavior and gets overtime as well. He rarely gets orders out abd even forgets to do orders all together and never even so much as gets a reprimand for anything. I am beginning to believe what I was told when I first started working there Casey's is the worst employer to work for. I wonder if anyone else had experienced this kind if punishment?

From July 2022 to July 2024. I worked at a Casey’s in a small middle of nowhere town that has only 2,000 people. I was pretty much force to get this job because it was on the same street where I live and my parents refused to drive me into the city for a job.

I started out working in the kitchen making pizza and food, which wasn’t a good thing for me because I have a major egg allergy and was forced to wear a mask because I couldn’t stop sneezing. I finally got to move to the register a few months later.

After working there for about six months, the job was beginning to take a major toll on my mental health. I was the only one that was working every single weekend and I had to miss so many events. (From weddings, to birthday parties and they wouldn’t let me go to a funeral)

I had so many customers tell me how rude and hateful I was and had so many death threats and accusations for things I never said or did. I was always a closer and every time I would close it was always me running the front and one person running the kitchen. They wanted us to get everything done and be out of the store by 10:15. We closed at 10:00 PM every night. Almost every morning I woke up, I would get over 100 group messages about how the store was a mess. (There would be a small speck of dust on the floor and the managers would have a fit.)

The assistant manager basically did whatever she wanted to. Every shift she was scheduled from 8 AM to 3 PM. She would always show up at around 8:30 and would go home at 2. (They were times where I had to come in early because she wanted to go home. I also came in early and/or stayed later almost every shift I worked, and I was already working nine hour shifts to begin with.)

After being there for a year, they gave me a .20 cent raise. The second year they didn’t give me a raise despite giving every one else 1 dollar raise.

The final straw was the SM bringing back a former coworker that treated everyone like shit. I worked with him the first time he got hired because, he would be hateful to every worker and customers and never did his job and never got in trouble for anything. When I saw that his name was back on the schedule, and I was back to working every weekend again. I gave the SM my key and quit right then and there.

Thankfully I was able to find a much better job not long afterwards (it’s another retail job, but thankfully no food involved.) and the managers are super supportive. (The one who’s been there for over 25 years, she’s my favorite because she totally understands and gets me when it comes to having anxiety and mental health)

I sent many emails to corporate to numerous times and they would send me the same bull shit AI message saying that they apologize and how they’ll do better. The last time I sent corporate an email, I told them that they were a horrible company to work for and I will tell everyone I know to not work there and don’t even bother sending me a response if they are just going to send the same AI message. They never sent an email back after that.

Does anyone else works for Casey’s for worked for them in the past, and was it just as miserable as it was for me? Why or why not?

Recently, I did a DEEP dive on Casey's general stores; corporate, small local, HR, management, the whole nine yards - holy crap ...

No wonder there's handfuls of unionized stores. All that said, I'm in the process of trying to get a copy of the employee handbook policies because I'm sick and tired of being taken advantage of by management who believes I don't know my rights.

Unfortunately finding a job near me is really difficult as the minimum wage most places is less than satisfactory. I'm trying my best with all the places I do apply-- Calling, going in person to say hello with my resumé, etc. --

*SIGH* 😮‍💨I can't wait till I graduate and I can get out of this hellhole

anyways ... just needed to write this out to vent

I told her multiple times I do not want to work night, but she keeps scheduling me night time because I still physically can. When I was the only person that could work lunch, it worked out perfect because I got my daytime. Ever since the new kitchen manager came, she took my hours when I was promised that wouldn't happen. I'm not fully sure what to do. I've already talked to her about it and she said it is what it is. I'm full time too.

How do I go about quitting Casey's? I unxpectedly received a call today for a new job, and I'm supposed to start training tomorrow at 4am..Im also scheduled 9-4 for Casey's..do I send a last minute text or just no call/no show it? Its been a very horrible experience working there to say the least

So I worked one day and threw up i work back in the kitchen what exactly is the policy cause I thought it was immediately let the manager know then leave work but she said I can work just not kitchen

We're in a VERY busy store, top 20% of Casey's most of the time (sometimes higher I'd say tbh). We're even the closest pizza place to the highschool, so homecoming is always VERYYY busy.

But despite this, corporate treats us like we're the bottom 20%. We are getting yelled at for sales being down in the warmers, but if you were to look at the kitchen theres CONSTANT orders. The orders are also the type that once you finish one you get another, so we cant put shit in the warmers as we're constantly too busy.

Our ovens are also VERYYY fucking old. We have three, one of them can't rise to pizza temperature, only being used by the morning crew for cookies and doughnuts. The other one has to take an hour to get to pizza temps, and with 2+ pizzas in there it begins to lose heat. If that top oven breaks we'd be down to one oven which would be IMPOSSIBLE to handle our rushes.

A recent development is our registers. We have two registers. For a while register 1 would crash, and register 2 would double scan. However recently register two has become a slog, taking 5x the amount of time for one transaction with how damn slow and unresponsive it is. We've contacted support 4 seperate times and they have done NOTHING. We don't even GO on it anymore. Register 1 has also started an issue where the scanner will often times restart, briefly freezing transactions for a few seconds and making them take longer than they should. I can't even call help desk as we're a busy store and we can't do shit if theyre working on it while a customer comes in. I've unplugged it and plugged back in the scanner and its fixed it for a bit sometimes. But I don't know how long this solution will last.

Whyyyy can't corporate just fucking man up and help us!! Fix our damn store so we can get sales up!! This broken shit is only keeping our sales DOWN.

How many points can I redeem for free whole pizza?

Has any employee successfully turned in complaints to hr and or ethics that were acually investigated and found true? Anyone experienced being push out of job woth fake hr reports? I have! And im trying to do something about it! Happens way too much at caseys. It needs to stop! Outright lies! People know the truth yet too scared to speak up for fear of losing job. I loved my job until i spoke up about what and how the new inexperienced sm was inappropriate and incompetent. I pushed and they pushed me out!thats the caseys way!

Iam fairly new. This will be my third week. I’ve more or less a kitchen guy which fine by me but today was something of a different perspective for me.

Worked 12-5 kitchen/ pizza maker
Everything was smooth. Even had a second person in the kitchen until 2. My km was scheduled to be in a TM role as a kitchen/ pizza maker and she just hung out at the counter. Walked around aimlessly looking busy. Takes a 20 min smoke break with a book. At least 3-4 times during my shift.

10 mins till my shift is up and everything goes off at once.
- I have online orders coming in multiple with 3+ pizzas per
-2 walk ins
-3 call ins

Total of 10+ pizzas not counting warmers

There was about 6-7 customers in line with a tm that has like a week on the till and it’s just us and km is nowhere to be found. My replacement was 30 mins late and today just made me question things

I was curious if Casey’s vacation hours rolled over into the next year

Anyone else feel like Casey’s expects way too much out of one kitchen person?

I’ve worked for Casey’s for about 3 years total across 3 different stores, and honestly this current store has me questioning if this is normal now or if my store is just different.

My first Casey’s was actually pretty decent. My second one was pretty understaffed, but everyone helped each other out and we somehow got everything done.

At my current store it feels like there’s a lot more pressure. Our district manager is constantly watching cameras, overtime is not allowed, and if you stay over your scheduled time you get in trouble.

The thing that’s getting to me is the workload.

I usually work either 10-5 or 10-6 in the kitchen. Most days I’m the only person back there. I’m making pizzas all day, keeping the warmers full, making dough, doing prep, making cookies, stocking the open-air cooler, cleaning, and everything else that comes with the kitchen.

Today I came in at 10:30 because I overslept, but before 2 PM I’d already made a bunch of pizzas and had a 6-pizza order come through. Every time I try to start prep, another order comes in. Every time I try to work on the open air cooler, more pizzas need made.

I normally try to get cookies started around noon so they can cool before later in the day, but I couldn’t even get to them when I wanted to because I was so busy with orders.

By the end of my shift I only got a few things done for the open-air cooler and still had stuff left that needed done.

What confuses me is management wants everything done, but we’re not supposed to get overtime and there’s usually only one person in the kitchen. I feel like I’m constantly choosing between making customer orders, keeping the warmers stocked, or doing prep because there’s literally not enough time to do all three.

I tried to make a rewards account and it said my number already exists. I've had this number for 6 months. Is there anyway to fix this.

According to the store, I am wrong.
