I think small businesses would be safer than large businesses. It will also take some pressure off those of us working at large businesses. OPEN AMERICA BACK UP.
Our members are vicious
With everything going on some of our members come in the club p-ss-d off and don't care who feelings they hurt.
Points suspention
So how long have points been suspended for. Just through April or May too?
Attendance accountability
We have to do something about attendance associates coming in 30 to 45 minutes late and the call outs are our of control its time to take some serious action because the other associates that come on time has to step up and thats not right at all.
What a disgrace to its associates
What a slap in the face us associates just took from this company. Just seen our Sam’s share that we are getting on this weeks paycheck.... $200. What a disgrace!! I really thought this company would step up at a time of crisis and suprise everyone... — read more

Wal-Mart store in Colorado FORCED to shut down after multiple employee deaths
The workers stood up and complained to the city about violations in social distancing,cleaning practices and over-crowding. It's about time. The city did the right thing.
Bodies? What bodies?
Second to last paragraph is my favorite. https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/companies/walmart-store-in-colorado-shuts-down-after-coronavirus-deaths/ar-BB139Yjj
Ship from store
Are there any clubs who have started this yet? Just curious of how many orders and if there is a limit to how many items. Seems like there should be a separate warehouse for this with limited stock.
Optical
Anyone heard of Optical opening up anytime soon? We have literally been working in all areas of the store. Members keep calling upset because we aren't able to sell glasses.
UFCW
They fought for the $2/hr, and got it. Now they're fighting to have customers wear masks. They'll get that too. Not sure what the point is here. Just sayin.
Quick Pick
Anybody else have major issues with the new Quick Pick App? It was a disaster for us today. I can’t figure out why in the world the company would roll out a new club pick program when they know orders have at least tripled for I’m guessing most... — read more
Ventilation system
Fyi. No fresh air circulation. Recirculation of indoor air. Not using HEPA filters. Not changing existing filters on time or at all. Little wonder once a virus is in the club, everyone gets sick.
You should value yourself more
For all of you saying I’m happy with $200, I guess that’s what you value yourself at. For me it’s about the respect and value. A billion dollar company that risks its employees lifes so we can make their millions for them and they turn around and... — read more
Cafe closing
Hearing there is a meeting on Monday in regards to the permanent closure of cafe. Would be unfortunate but not surprising considering the environment of the country and the fact that the cafe loses money anyway.
Sales picking up again
For a few weeks we've had fewer members show up to shop but so far this week it feels like everybody has decided that the crisis is over even if we are seeing more cases and deaths all over the country. How can people be so thoughtless and stupid?... — read more
Stop letting them treat us like 2nd class citizens!
Seriously. I don't care about our members wants or needs. This is a time when we as associates need to start looking out for each other and not letting people treat us like we are nothing!
The time to unionize is NOW!
Don't tell me they'll close our stores. If we all do it together, they would be committing s–c-de. Don't tell me you don't need anybody to speak on your behalf. Look how they are treating you right now. This company has behaved terribly and... — read more
Bonus! Hazard pay!
They gave us $300 and promised us a portion of our bonus whether we qualified or not. A bonus if we qualify for would’ve been our money anyway. Today I find out that this bonus is $200. Are they serious?! Half of the club took LOA and the ones here... — read more

Returns/ exchanges

This was a reply to another post, but needs to appear on its own. Thanks to OP!
We have "virtual tours" coming up. What a joke. If this pandemic has shed any light on which positions are irrelevant its the market managers and some other positions above. They are trying to send out a million emails a day and set up upcoming... — read more

Hazard pay...anything?
So we arent deemed as frontline workers which I think is total bs to begin with. I mean we did get the 300 bucks payout which is okay. However other retailers are paying their employees more per hour until this sh– is all over with. We are out there... — read more

They ONLY care about us not giving it to the members. NOT the other way around, because we have the option of staying home using Vac pay or Unpaid, position protected a whole two weeks. They couldn't care less if we get sick from the no mask wearing... — read more
Visits.
This company is out of there minds. We continue to get visits by the Market Mgr. And he picks everything apart. Not to mention he still is pushing credits and plus.
H & W conference call
Did anyone hear anything about the meeting today or did it even happen?
I'm confused...
There's over 10 confirmed cases in my club and its not on the news or anything? Meanwhile...every time someone has it at a fast food joint or a super market around here its all over the news and publicized. Obviously hippa protects the identity which... — read more
