All they need to do is reconfigure the registers so that a cashier can easily bag as they scan and lower the IPM number to compensate. WFM registers are set up with a bagger being present as the rule, not exception. Since labor is so thin the very... — read more 

Really????

you mean to tell me 4 million plus a year in total compensation over the past 10 years and 10 million more in severance and it still isn't enough for him to pay full price for his freakin groceries and beer? Seriously? While the $12 an hour employee... — read more 

That's a tad bit crazy! How's that going to help our company grow? Oh wait, I know how they'll pay for it: cut labor:/

"Co" should have been let go years ago- loves when the RP's s--- up to him- stokes his Ego and they get what they want- which is bad for everyone but the RP's. This is a good sign that maybe there is a chance for the company to turn around- lots of... — read more

On a completely other note here are a few key points while working for Whole Foods... Work your a-- off because that's who you are, never change your output based on others. Never go to TMS about a concern that is above the TL level, this s---s but... — read more 

One thing that frustrates me about this site is you have to sift through ten questions or responses to find any resemblance of fruitful dialogue. When the ideal is sharing information that helps inform others it often reverts to petty or quite... — read more

Today, I was questioned by a woman who identified herself as the Regional President's significant other. She was taking pictures and telling the front end to open up more registers and started bagging. Is this legit or what? I don't want to get fired... — read more 

Word had beginning to spread around about more cuts coming after holidays. I'm not sure if it'll be layoffs or labor cuts which would mean hrs dropped. One person even said he heard it from someone in Administration. Anyone hear anything similar?

Peep the stock hovering at 28$ going into holidays.i know my store is barely comping (which the barely comes from price hikes).lets drop this free pizza and milf talk and get back to taking this corporate stockholder market to task..

so I am line last night and the girl in front of me was checking out....the person checking her out finalized the sale and then I heard her say...oh, did you remember that? The checkout person looked back, picked up a $12 piece of cheese (it was a... — read more 

Hi, I want to clearly know if pizza for the TMs are supposed to be free? I know the WHOLE pizzas are not free, but I heard the slices are free if you are a TM? Is this true?

This article focuses more on how poorly WFM sales are, barely skimming over the newest non-GMO labeling scandal. A coworker mentioned this to me several years ago, and I guess I didn't want to believe him. So now that something has leaked into the... — read more 

Hello all, My last PTO check isn't on workday. I was fired and I just checked workday for my next check (which is PTO), and it's not showing up. I'm wondering if it will just deposit in my account on Friday? Does anyone know how that works?

Am I getting charged for pizza?!

What do you think about the"German" grocery retailer ? How do u see there current and future situation? I know they committed this past year to sell more organic and natural items and they launched a brand focused on baby food as well.

Customer service cant hire anymore people so when the lines get backed up Front End pages the whole store for other teams to come bag for an unnecessary amount of time. Everyone hates customer service now because of this stupid labor cut.

Yesterday I caught wind of an email sent out to all TL's and above, in the SW region, regarding the restructuring of the combination teams. I heard that the "Market Team ", i.e. Grocery/Whole Body/Specialty will only have a TL, two ATL's no more... — read more 

So my team leader told us no more double bagging. WTF??? She said there is going to be a bag shortage for the holidays and double bags don't make a difference anyway. I'm loving the new Whole Foods or WhoFo as the milli-minions say!

Nor cal store's bakery is self serve? I guess this means our customer service and core values are changing, just hope its not going Walmart. WTF??????

Question: if you get fired, will you automatically receive PTO?

So we just found out in NorCal that we are now called SGA's or Store Graohic Artists. I was wondering if any other region found this out as well since its supposed to be a global position now and if your job has changed from what it was before?
