I wish everyone realized the sacrifices mentioned. We only have so many staff and they have only so many hours they can work. At work everyone who can do overtime is working overtime but when you are closing in on 70 or more hours, it's just not sustainable. Grocery retail employees many retirees with underlying health conditions. Grocery retail employees many teenagers who may be limited by their parents' concerns and special needs workers with caps on their hours.
Any time I have to talk to one of the "Karens" upset we have limits on items or mouth off to one of my people exposed to sends of thousands of shoppers a week they are damn lucky I am professional and don't give them a piece of my mind.
We love it when they complain and say they'll go to our competitor because our competitor has exactly the same restrictions and supply issues we have. If that's the customer's attitude in this time of crisis, our competitors are welcome to that headache.
I'm thankful to many customers who see the panic buying and say we wouldn'y have these supply issues if people shopped as normally and those who stand up for my people when someone else acts up.
Couldn’t agree more. Don’t forget the warehouse workers. Their job is tough in slow times.
Good for you, nice to hear from somebody in real life.
Tell your workers thank you!
