Raley’s, Safeway each ‘mass hiring’ in California amid coronavirus crisis

Northern California supermarket chain Raley’s is mass hiring for personal shoppers at many of its locations, as millions of Californians are limiting exposure to the public due to the rapidly developing coronavirus crisis.

Safeway also announced a surge of hiring for in-store employees and delivery drivers at its Northern California, Nevada and Hawaii stores. The supermarket chain, a subsidiary of Albertsons, in a news release Monday said it has more than 2,000 immediate openings across more than 280 Safeway, Adronico’s, Vons and Pak ‘N Save locations in those three states. Those interested can apply online or in person at their local store, the news release said.

In postings to the Raley’s website and on LinkedIn, the company says it is looking to quickly hire members to its “eCart” teams at 18 locations in California and two in Reno, Nevada. Raley’s intends to fill the positions within a week or less, the job listings say.

I wonder if we will start seeing well stocked grocery stores on the left coasts and limited supplies in flyover country. It’s not like the people in congress would have a problem with that.

Very interesting. DemonicRATS in the California legislature outlawed the gig economy in their last session. Now huggers must be hired as employees instead of free enterprisers. It just happens that Safeway is a Union operation. Not sure about Raleys. Still, thousands of new Union members with all the costs associated with it when Freelancers could’ve provided the same service.

Gemany has used and probably will again a program where the employer keeps all his people on payroll at a reduced hours and pay and the government picks up the pay slack. limited hours and exposure, No layoffs, no one on unemployment. Sounds like a good idea

“Stupid auto-correct!!! Huggers = giggers!”

Microsoft/Bing has the worlds-worst auto-correct/spell check.

I swear whoever designed that crappy program couldn’t possibly have spoke English.

If you misspell something by just a little it will never come up the correct spelling, it will just ‘auto-correct’ into some wild horse$hit that makes no sense.

If you don’t catch it people will think it was written by a retard.
