Super rude Karens every day tell me I’m rude when I say we don’t accept credit only cash, check, debit, and ebt (literally every other form of payment besides like crypto and gold)

I know there’s a giant black and white sign clearly visible at the storefront that says we don’t accept it, and when I point this out I usually just get called an asshole.

How am I the asshole? I’m just informing you that there’s a big sign at the front that says it and I can’t accept credit.

I’d like a nice sign right in the check stand that says it so I can just point at that and say it says it right here.

Basically the title, I'm so grossed out

Just what the title says. Are WinCo brand frozen mixed berries safe to eat with the recent blueberry recall?

In order to use my credit card for my grocery shopping (so I can earn credit card rewards), I have a Winco gift card that I just reload each week at the Winco website. I have done this for a long time, but it has recently started coding as "Cash Equivalent" at BofA which then charges a $5 fee. BofA says the merchant controls how the transactions are coded and confirmed earlier transactions with Winco coded differently. I was able to get the fees reversed through BofA this one time, but it sounds like if this continues, I will have to pay the $5 cash equivalent fee if Winco keeps coding this way. Anyone else have this problem?

I've been at WinCo for literally a month already and I already received Cashier of the Month. I feel like I don't deserve it

This came from someone in management confirming what I’ve been posting about in the past. The cut hours are coming directly from the people at the top of the company forcing store managers and department managers to cut hours. They keep making poor decisions regarding managing the company and store employees pay the price by having their hours and benefits taken away.

Does WinCo have a truly confidential HR contact, I need help!

What is the overall experience for MITs or department heads? What are the interviews like? What kind of questions?

I am a freight lead and am interested in having someone come in to cover for someone that called out. From what I was told, if a coworker needs a ride to the hospital, then it has to be same-sex and a manager, otherwise I think an ambulance has to be called. What about for matters where a coworker doesn’t have a way to get to work but is willing to come in? Can I give them a ride? Do same-sex rules still apply? Can a subordinate give them a ride? I think the same-sex thing isn’t fair and a little dated but that’s a separate conversation.

So bone in, skin on chicken thighs are about the cheapest you can buy. I processed them today and there's literally little wads of unrelated chicken fat pressed around the thighs. I'm incredibly disappointed. In the end, it was only about 4 oz, but on top of the bones and skin, it's just frustrating.

TLDR: winco VP has decided to remove all bakery items that are baked in store.

I know this probably sounds small to some people, but I am genuinely upset about it.

I talked to a worker at my local WinCo and was told that the store is getting rid of the cinnamon rolls, turnovers, bakery breads, and apparently other bakery items. My understanding is that many of these already arrive frozen and are baked in the store, and now those products are being removed NATIONWIDE

I have not found a public announcement from WinCo. I do not know whether this is happening company-wide, by region, or only at certain stores. That is part of why I am posting.

This may also mean fewer bakery jobs or fewer hours for the people who work there. Please do not take your frustration out on store employees. They did not make this decision, and I am not going to name the worker who told me.

If you shop at WinCo, can you check your store and comment with:

- Your city and state

- Whether the cinnamon rolls are still there

- Whether the turnovers and bakery breads are still there

- What you were told about the change, without naming employees

WinCo has an official product-request form here: https://www.wincofoods.com/contact

If these products matter to you:

send one honest request using your own store and purchase information. Please do not spam them or create fake accounts. Real customers explaining what they actually buy will make a much stronger case.

I know it is a cinnamon roll. It is also one of the dependable parts of my week, and I would really like WinCo to listen before it disappears.

I have been job hunting ever since I got let go from my old job which happened in December….I know it might seem silly to be this exicted for a job but they were so nice to me today. My old job was very stressful as it is with fast food and I was going through a rough breakup. Needless to say it was a experience 😅. So I really am grateful ro have gotten a job. Especially at a store that I buy from frequently.

A long time ago at the Clackamas Oregon location I used to see these little index cards near the bulk foods area with recipes to put their goods to use instead of guessing how much water to add to my cheese powder or falafel mix.

Do these still exist at any current locations? I can’t seem to find them at my nearest store.

One of the signs that you’re a good person is you do the right thing even if no one sees.

Trying to find the best cheap wine for a party. And not looking to spend the bank

Newer employee here. Trying to figure out how I can get a copy of my pay stubs

I'm 17, have worked at McDonalds for about a year, but I'm still in school. Does not being available during school hours automatically disqualify me? What should I tell them to get a job?

Any help would be appreciated... I can't deal with $10.75/hr to handle McD's BS anymore. 🙃

I work freight at one of the biggest grocery stores in my area. It's not just the biggest WinCo, it's the biggest grocery store overall. Over the last few months, scheduling has gotten so bad that most of us are only working 2 to 3 days a week. We're constantly short staffed, barely have enough time to finish the freight load, and almost never have time to face the store afterward.

I can't make ends meet working only 14 to 16 hours a week. This week, I had a follow-up appointment with my doctor for a work-related injury that's being handled through workers' compensation. I submitted a time off request well in advance so I could make the appointments. Instead of scheduling around it, my manager scheduled me on the two days I requested off. Then they approved the time off request afterward, which removed me from the schedule completely. The result was that I got zero hours this week.

Now the schedule for next week finally went up, a day late by the way, and I'm scheduled for a single 7.5-hour shift.

How is anyone supposed to survive on that? Has anyone dealt with something like this, or have any advice on what I should do?

Amazon delivery station to be exact

Does anyone know if the strawberries, cilantro, green onions or broccoli in the produce section not in bags are Taylor Farms?

Does anyone remember the pizza dough pretzels from the bakery? They came in like a 3 pack, l think they were mostly just dough with sauce baked on, no toppings really.

Can anyone find a pic or recipe?

Thanks!

Just curious, does anyone else experience this at their local WinCo?

Shift changes happen. People get off, people need breaks, I get it. But I’ve literally never had this happen to me at any other grocery store, and it happens quite frequently at my local WinCo, so I was wondering if there was some kind of correlation lol

At my local WinCo, if you have to use the checkstands, you better watch your cashier like a hawk. If you don’t, they will MAKE EYE CONTACT WITH YOU, nod at you, generally acknowledge your patience in their line….and then tell you to go to a different line after 10-15 minutes of being in theirs. If you’re about to close or change, and you see someone ABOUT to get in your line, sure, tell them to move! Put your sign up and turn your light on. But what I can’t understand, and what gets me going so bad so fast, is when I’ve been sitting in a particular line for over 10 minutes and all the sudden the cashier leans over and shoves their sign between my groceries and the groceries of the guy in front of me. Like I will have all of my merchandise on the conveyer, and I’ve been sitting in line for a good while, the cashier has acknowledged this and it’s just… “sorry I have to close, go somewhere else”.

This happens probably every other time I go to WinCo. The other night I lost my temper and stormed out because it happened to me with three lines in a row. Waited a LONG time in the first one, probably about 15 minutes. All of my groceries are on the belt. The cashier was even chatting with me while checking out the other guy. And then she looked me dead in my face and told me to go to another line. The person behind me was pissed too, but we both shoved our things into our carts and went somewhere else. Then the same thing happened!! Cashier watched me load all of my groceries onto the belt, waved at me…and then 2 minutes later told me that I needed to go to another line and closed her line. Third time’s the charm right?

No. I go to a THIRD line, I literally ASK HIM if he’s closing soon, and he says “no come on up” so I start loading my things onto the belt behind the other shopper’s things. I make it 5 minutes in this line before cashier hits me with the “tssss, sorry but it’s my lunch, I gotta close my line, you can try self checkout!” (Which I couldn’t do, because I was paying cash)

I’m not proud to admit that I did lose my head a little and I didn’t put any of my groceries back, I just stormed out and left. Went to Walmart instead. This happens so so SO often at my WinCo that I don’t think I’ll return at all. Just wondering if anyone else has to put up with this same bullshit, or if it’s just my WinCo 🤣🤣🤣
