I generally don’t talk a lot about scheduling. Whenever some changes in scheduling arrives, chances are that more or less people are not going to like them. That’s a process that I’ve been seeing each other for years and every time it eventually all... — read more

Sam is Dead ... deal with it
I get so tired of reading if Sam Walton was alive. If he was alive his children would still run the ship. The board of investors would also run the ship, Sam would have little say in today’s market. I’m sure as a business man he would roll with the... — read more

What will part-time be like now?
Many part-time associates work 30 hrs on up now due to shortages and are used to those hours. If they cut that it's not much of a paycheck. If you ask it they just say we don't know except you need good availability. I hear rumors of 4-5 hr shifts... — read more
How can associates claim that the sales are at a low?
See that a lot of folks are claiming that there has been a significant drop of sales. Think tat statements like that only help to spread panic, nothing else. In fact, how can an employee at a club know anything about the sales results on the company... — read more
Club Pickup
How is club pickup going to work at your club? We were told we will still be pulling orders but our main responsibility will be dispensing and loading.
Time Off Requests
Okay, so I have been told by a team lead and confirmed with a manager that pretty much the only way to get a day off (besides the regular two you are scheduled off) is to use PTO else you are out of luck. So need a day next month for whatever and not... — read more

Club 8169 is a joke

Pro Tip
Pro Tip: If you help a member find something, carry out a heavy cart to their car, or even do something for them that is a little more than most members would receive, encourage them to do the survey on the back of their receipts. They could win free... — read more

PTO accrual rate change
How many of you are aware that as of April 27 the rate t which you accrue PTO is changing?? It now takes more time to earn an hour of PTO. If your club has not posted it yet like our club did then ask a manager.

Block scheduling
Does anyone know when managers are going to block scheduling?
Block Scheduling
Block scheduling is creating a bad vibe in our club. Some of our associates have young children and the long term associates have older children and are more flexible. Working 1 to 930 or 3 to 1130 will evey day will not allow you to be a parent to... — read more

What if I wanted to step down from a lead position and go to another job? Does seniority still count even though the manager has already talked to the full time people in that area I’m looking to step down to? Can I still get the shift I want and the... — read more
HR
The head of HR is a lady named Benita. If you type in Benita on your email contact it should bring her email up and you can address your concerns with her .. It will not do any good though. But you can still let your voice and concerns be heard.

Church
I’m a long term associate (over 20 years) and I am a team lead and I was told I have to work sundays no matter what. I also am a pastor at my church which means I’ll no longer be able to attend church. Isn’t this against the law? I thought if it were... — read more
A crack appears
It appears they are revaluating the fresh team lead block scheduling. Too many produce and prepared leads are not accepting the schedule offered. If more do the same it might actually get changed.
Some areas are told what days they can have off
So why can a fresh associate (bakery dept) have every Sunday off even though that is considered a busy day but a freeze cooler/deli associate are told they had to be here EVERY Friday, Saturday and Sunday. How fair is that?
The block schedule only pertains to FT associates, so does anyone know what kind of schedule PT associates will be required to work?
My club manager hasn't talked to any PT associates yet so nobody has any idea what our schedule will look like in the future. Rumor had it we will all be made to work mid shifts, but does anyone know what that shift will be?
Happy employees =Happy members =Profit!
My main question to Sam’s corporate is what do you do when people quit and you don’t have anyone that is applying to take their place?!?! As much as they think they don’t need people who will take care of those members that need and expect to be... — read more
