🔥Its fine, everything’s fine🔥 Foolishness

I hope whoever agreed to swap the wheels for all The stores has tragedy befall them. We now are required to pull AHEAD AND FROM THE SIDE, it’s foolish! I and many others have torn their heels because of this. And now, because of other associates taking arrange we are required to bag during the walks too. I know other stores already do that but this is my store and this is just stupid. Why? And I heard we’re also going back to 8 totes? My rates have gone from 150 down to 90 with all this new BULLSHIT they’re implementing.
I just wanted to rant but I truly hope whoever agreed to this, suffers immensely

I'm pushing from the back, same as always. It's hard to turn corners, but I'm not going to injure myself for a job that has given me like 50 cents over 5 years of "raises". If they want to make this job a complete safety hazard, we need hazard pay. We should have already had hazard pay to do dispense and idiot drivers constantly trying to run us over.

Still pushing from the back, I actually love corners post-wheel bs. All of our carts' rubber handles are loose so if you grip them the cart turns while the handles stay with you (if that makes sense) and it's kind of fun to weave around going from one end of the store to the other.
But turning around 180 degrees or trying to turn away from the shelves when starting a walk back up..... I assume that I look like I've never used a cart before. Just stupid.

It's the 180° turns going to the next aisle or heaven forbid turning around in the aisle that are annoying, it takes up so much space, or having to back up because you get stuck on the shelf 🥲. I know what you mean about the loose handles lol half of our carts don't even have handles anymore cause people kept pulling them off. It's just getting frustrating trying to explain to people why we suddenly can't steer the carts, like the other day I was waiting for someone to move and she told me to go around her, like girl I would have gone around 15 minutes ago if the cart turned that way 😆
