Anyone else’s store hiring tons of shoppers but no Team members for the departments? My store gets destroyed by Prime and not enough help to fill up the aisles. When will someone recognize that we need a balance. So sick of hearing the word headcount... — read more
Bone us!
Thanks for the bonus that was paid for by hiring freezes and dunking on TM morale. Also, good call, giving $1000, to store leadership. They definitely deserve it more than workers on the floor.

Whole Foods Health Insurance
Man, WFM sure picked a bad year to eliminate PT20 status and pull health insurance out from under thousands of team members. I wonder if they'll reconsider going into 2021, considering that Covid isn't going anywhere and we're likely to see an... — read more

Hazard pay
Why was our hazard pay taken away??? We are still wearing masks and having our temperatures taken. This isn't right. Something must be done!
Cleaning house?
One of our astl’s was asked to step out while store leadership cleaned house so she wouldn’t be involved. Guess what? You involved too many people so for them to shut up 100% ? Not realistic. Never bring a friend of a friend. Stl will over look... — read more
One thing this virus has revealed
I thought I knew my coworkers pretty well, but this virus has revealed something. The TMs that refuse to wear a mask until we are open, or wear it all day half-assed under their noses and chins do not care about others. They complain that the masks... — read more
