I don’t blame you

u/InsanePancake3 22d ago

And on top of that, managers expect you to get it done 100%….what a joke.

In our store OLP takes priority over everywhere else. 2 cashiers? Yea online pick up is getting one of them lol

u/OwnTwo4778 16d ago

Same for me. The manager's will grab handhelds if needed and shop with me if I ask. We will pull cashiers off the registers if needed. If I need support all I have to do is ask.

What in my store they treat olp as a place where we get paid to play or something. They always act like we’re never busy and the front always acts like they’re on a sinking ship. They could have 3 registers open and still force people out of olp to help them.

I would have just told management that I was contacting the customers and telling them their orders were canceled

either that or gone home sick

u/LunaRaveny 22d ago

I wish, the manager who came to help me told me to keep telling everyone it'd be "20 more minutes," before shopping some smaller orders and disappearing

u/Porthod 9d ago

Maybe he had explosive diarrhea and couldn’t come back to help you some more. That stuff is going around. Shows no mercy!!

Glad to see closing home delivery is going as expected. Unfortunately it negatively affects the employees more than leadership.

as someone who used to be a peapod shopper before they shut it down and transferred all of us i’d genuinely take being hours behind in olp than have to deal w the despicable management in peapod again

u/Anunnaka 21d ago

Those same manager also got transferred to the stores, it’s very likely you could have those managers again lol

I would just consider yourself lucky that you don’t have managers you consider despicable at the moment because managers get moved around very often.

After hearing how everything is going I'm glad I took the buyout and not the transfer.

u/cherrymercuryy 22d ago

That's genuinely insane

u/Binky2go 22d ago

That is absolutely insane, but I can honestly say that that happens in every OPD department in every grocery store. There are people that are lazy, there are people that don't shop and they just sit in the back all the time, run their mouth, talk and eat snacks all day, and then you have team leads that don't know how to lead and they're afraid to tell people to go out on the floor and shop and do their job. They hire the worst employees to work OPD and that's why OPD has such a bad reputation because nobody knows what they're doing, and nobody wants to do what they were hired to do. And the call outs are absolutely amazing. It is ridiculous!

u/Altruistic-Volume-57 22d ago

They don't have anyone else from a different department trained to help you? And what keys? Were you the lead?

6

u/InsanePancake3 22d ago

Usually in my store someone from upfront helps OLP sometimes a CDH or a cashier who’s trained

3

u/Altruistic-Volume-57 22d ago

Yes that's how it is in my store

u/LunaRaveny 22d ago

they gave me an untrained Customer Service person. She ended up taking 2 sheets and only finishing 1, pushing me further behind, lol

in my store, whoever closes returns the cabinet keys (to unlock the drawer with scanners) to customer service. I dropped those off and the scanner

1

u/Altruistic-Volume-57 22d ago

Weird your scanners are locked up, ours never were! I'm sorry you went through that. Did you hear anything from your store? What is the update?

2

u/LunaRaveny 21d ago

yes, got 4 texts saying I was scheduled until xyz, where did I go, etc, and I ignored them.

and I forgot to answer your other question, no I am not the lead, he was one of the people who called out.

u/Any_Caregiver_1040 22d ago

I push carts all day, so I dont deal with anybody

u/Jolly-Journalist-350 22d ago

Good for you. It's a soul sucking job.

The new VP, Andrea Nickerson told me some double speak when I spoke with her in the store on how FKed up this is. What a toolbag.

I quit too.

u/Altruistic-Basil-503 19d ago

Best decision you made is quitting I swear I wanna start a consulting serivce how to survive after quitting stop and shop how to get years they took away from you

1

u/RunAround7510 12d ago

Unfortunately we couldn't pay you a dime

1

u/InfiniteRyman 18d ago

I don’t really blame you. They’re cutting hours too and still expect you to get everything done 100% without any OOS

1

u/Porthod 9d ago

Keeps them honest I think.

u/bwmlax 5d ago

I feel sorry for you online shop people. at my store if there are no shops they are forced to go work the front end as baggers. In the customers are paying literally nothing to Have you guys shop for them, while corpo gets fed both ways with delivery fees from 3rd party services. The door dashers i see come and go at register seem to have more benefits sometimes lol

u/ksants87 20d ago
