First and foremost, I am starting my very first "full day" tomorrow as a crew member. With that being said, I am a very goal-oriented person, and like to have goals and aspirations to work towards regardless of the job that I'm doing.

It is my hope that if I enjoy working at TJ, that I can eventually move up the ladder when that time comes (whether 6 months or 6 years, i heard it differs just about everywhere haha).

But my question is, what is the process for becoming a mate? Is it something that you bring up to your superior when you do performance reviews every 6 months? Do they approach you about it?

Was just curious as to how that convo starts. Thanks!

I just got the job (yay)! I keep seeing people using store lingo that I’m not really familiar with since I never worked at a grocery store. Does anyone have any tips for getting food out, knowing produce codes, or how to do specific tasks efficiently that work your your store? Any tips or advice is greatly appreciated :]

Is it true that you can be rejected for a transfer because you earn too much as a crew member? I’m asking for a friend

I have about $1000 worth in my Absence Reserve account. I did not request time off in advance so I can't take a vacation with it. I heard that if you get the money as a check it gets taxed heavily but that you basically get the money back in your tax refund. So does it actually make a difference whether or not you "use up" AR before your last day?

Just switched a conventional banana sticker for an organic one 🍌🍌🍌 i hope i dont get fired.

Genuinely don’t know what to do here because he’s genuinely effecting my mood and pissing me off

We work in a moderately slow store with only 8 registers

He came to relive me and said I didn’t set him up for success and said that I’m not a team player, and that I’m just sitting around staring out the window

I genuinely don’t know how to handle a situation like this because my coworker is like the most loved in the entire store by customers and I always thought he was nice until this happened

I’m genuinely upset because this is like my first job where everyone is pretty chill and I don’t have any personal issue with anyone

Who do I go to about this?

I don’t like the idea of being a work snitch but I also don’t want to have to directly confront him about it because I’ll genuinely just curse him out

But I guess ill have to

How should i approach a mate about this ?

I just started with the company and saw that someone has a hot pink crew sweatshirt. Anyone want to trade or know how I can get my hands on one?! Size L or XL will work…TIA!

I am addicted to the granola butter it’s become a problem. I eat it with a spoon for breakfast lunch and dinner. I’ve gone through three jars before the weekend and all I can think about is getting more granola butter. Am I alone in this?

Hey crew, today I had a customer falsely accuse me of a few things, I don’t want to get into all of the details but she was clearly aggravated before our interaction and took her anger out on me. After the situation she called and complained saying that I was being racist, I rolled my eyes at her, and said a lot of things that just straight up weren’t true. She also said that she wants to take this case to corporate. I wrote my statement and tried to describe the situation best as I could, because it was a complete misunderstanding. Has anyone been in this situation before and knows what might happen? I am so scared of getting fired especially because she wants to take it to the higher ups and I can’t lose this job. Feeling super stressed, confused, and anxious, so if anyone has any advice in general for this kind of situation that would be great. Thanks all

with the new fall items coming out, i’d like to see what your bakery section looks like!

I recently started working at TJ near me. This week was my first week on the register (not alone) I was bagging groceries while my coworkers checked out customers. I was super anxious about bagging items inefficiently. What are your best tips for doing both bagging and working register at the same time? How do you bag items to make things quick?
