My store works with a minimum number of people. I intend to give a notice by the end of this week, as do the remaining coworkers, and I'm just wondering what will happen then ... the management will literally have to beg people to come, that is my opinion.

A few days ago my store had no cashiers from open until about noon. The shift leader was ringing people up at the service desk and answering the phones.. Only a handful of team members in prep foods, resulting in no hot bar, salad bar or pizza. Grocery team was down to 2 people who were frantically trying to stock the order from the day before. No porter, so trash was everywhere. Customers walking out without buying anything. It was honestly pretty hilarious how F'd up everything was. They kept the store open though, so I am not sure what it will actually take to close from lack of workers.
to the guy that said WFM is too big to fail and Amazon cant get rid of any of us:
LOL.. i love how you feel invincible bud, but you work for a grocery store. you arent some pillar of society that cant be touched...ahahaha sorry but that was too funny to read. gdluck
WFM is too big to fail. Amazon is gonna bail out the stores hemorrhaging money indefinitely because they cannot actually get rid of any of us. We add too much value to the sloppy business at store level
ASTL told me the other day that stores close if a certain amount of employees are out. 50% maybe? They treat it like an emergency water main break closure. Our store actually closed early recently because there was no one to ring.
What an ego trip. You actually think they won't have anyone to work there after you leave? Whole Foods is a lot bigger than you and your co workers.
they will probably hire kids to replace you and send regional teams there in the mean time. at my old store so many people quit that they brought an outside company in to stock the shelves. wont be hard to replace you though and your store sounds like its on its way out anyway!
Nah, you all won't leave... but it's fun to think about.
