Food Depot

Most of the costumers are rude and not friendly, employees work very hard and only get fifteen minute. I have learned working at food depot to work hard and long and how to deal with rude and not friendly customers in a polite manner. The management at food depot is not that good the management have employees that they like, if you are one of the people that they like than they not bother you and you have the freedom of doing whatever you like, if you are an employee that management does not like they are on your back abut little things and they try and get you fired simply due to the fact that they don’t like you. Most of the co-works are friendly; they have another job and work very hard. Some co-works try and follow the rules that food depot has set and other employees do whatever they like and don’t have to face any consequences, due to the simple fact that management likes you. The hardest part of my job is working in a hostile environment because management threatens employees that they will lose their jobs, if they want to take off a certain day or if any employee wants to switch a day with another employee. The most enjoyable part of the job is when you can talk to other employees that you associate with and have a laugh with and that make the day a little bit better and the last enjoyable part of the job is when the day is over and you can get to go home.

A typical day at work was stocking shelves that needed to be, unloading/loading truck, and dealing with customers on a daily basis. A couple of skills that I learned was time management. I had school and work so I have to dedicate time to not only work, but also focus on school by working it around my job hours. Another skill that I learned is how to manage one or more individuals. During the last two weeks, I had to train a couple people on how to do my job. Management at Food Depot was great, they were friendly and did not mind lending a helping hand whenever the store got busy. My co-workers were a real pleasure to work with, with the exception of a couple, we all worked together to make sure customers were happy. The hardest part part of my job was unloading the truck, but it was not really all that hard, I guess the hardest part. The most enjoyable part of my job is seeing customers happy when I receive the item they asked for that was not on the shelf.

If this was Food Depot Its would be and Much Better work place.


 Measuring and assessing job quality. This provides a broad picture of job quality across OECD countries and socio-economic groups, along three broad dimensions that are essential for worker well-being: earnings quality, labour market security, and quality of the work environment."What did you like least about your last job?" is something of a trap when it comes to interview questions, because your interviewer is asking for a negative answer. If you haven't given the subject some thought, you may blurt out something about your boss or the company, and talk yourself right out of a job.

If you're asked, “What did you like least about your last job?” in an interview, be sure to keep your answer honest, but incorporate a positive angle if possible. One of the purposes of this interview question is to find out if you're going to be satisfied in the job for which you're interviewing. If you were dissatisfied before, you may be dissatisfied again if the circumstances are similar.

laid back, easy going place, as long as you’re doing your work right management won’t mess with you. you will be doing other peoples work a lot though, having to fix mess-ups, and if someone’s calls out on truck night you’ll have to do their entire truck. if someone else doesn’t already start on it. pay is terrible though, you really feel under payed especially in the high demanding truck nights and doing a lot of extra work. including cleaning entire store and pretty much becoming a janitor, holidays are very high demanding as well. good starting job though to learn about retail and stocking and what not. teaches you how to use a pallet jack. can takes smoke breaks a decent amount of times, 1 hour lunch. pretty lenient with time off as well, as long as you called ahead, can also schedule multiple days off that are not payed for unless you work there long enough to get a paid for 1 week vacation. pretty independent work as well, especially if you’re in dairy/frozen department, which is nice. bad pay outweighs everything though. 

I would come to work, it would be hot, though that's dependent on seasons. I would bring my shades, before they broke and get buggies or clean immediately. Bag groceries, return unwanted items, help customers get their things to their cars, etc. This was nonstop for about 3-4 hours, before a 1 hour break, and then again until my shift ends. All the while, the staff was incredibly rude and frankly condescending. I thoroughly enjoyed talking to customers, however. I got a few job orders from some customers who could see how hard working I was, and I got to engage a little deeper in the culture of native Spanish speakers, as someone who learned Spanish later in life. 

At Food Depot a night stocker on a typical night would pull items up to the front of the shelf with the title facing straight out. Go through back stock (Items that couldn't go in the shelf from truck nights) and be sure the store is clean. I learned how to work the speed of putting the items on the shelf and even putting items that don't belong on the shelf and locate where it really goes. Management at work is lenient yet strict as some nights things were slow but things improve when everyone works together. The hardest part of the job was getting the pallets loaded down with items ordered and getting the pallet unloaded fast. Sometimes the items fall over and break before it gets to the store. The most enjoyable part of the job was the occasional cutting up amongst the crew but keeping mind on stocking the store.

My typical day at work was greeting, checking out & cleaning my register at all times with a smile. I learned that customer service is a big thing in this world and that no matter how nice you can be customers will still be rude but you just have to smile and not act out. The management was great but also had it ups and downs...but isn’t that everywhere? The workplace was great, everybody did their jobs at all times. The hardest part of my job I would say is having to do these things call Go-backs where when it was time for you to leave. Before clocking out you had to put up a buggie full of things that either customers didn’t want or things you found in the wrong stop back in the right spot. The most enjoyable part for me was getting closer to my cashiers and managers and being a cashier. I’ve always wanted to be on when I was little and finally got to expiernce it.

If u work at Food Depot you will pick up on things really fast.  The job is pretty easy but repetitive.  If u stay in the say position for about two months, you are sure to be bored of the job unless moved up in the job or in pay.  The Manager there is great.  He is very quiet but flexible and will work with you.  The hardest part of the job at Food Depot is that sometimes you will have rude customers and you have to know how to talk to them.  The easiest part of the job is the store and safety walk.  These walks are something we do to make sure the store is safe and clean for our customers to shop.  The store walk is done to make sure everything is picked up if it is in the wrong place and the safety walk is done to make sure that there is no spills or hazards around the store.

It was easy but could get stressful on EBT days or PAY days. It was only stressful when people would swear at you, yell, and complain over prices or their total which YOU HAD NO CONTROL OVER. Sometimes people would even be rude because THEY didn't have enough money, or their cards were declined. Also sometimes you had to deal with racist people but not all the time.  When I worked there I always stayed to myself but there was always so much drama and it was all by the older people. They also always tried to involve you just to have back up which was unprofessional as well as unhealthy.  Other than that it was a good/ decent work place. I worked there my sophomore year of high school and with my hours I made okay money.  It looks different now though , I see more high school kids and the environment looks better.

What is the best part of working at the company?

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
There was nothing stressful about it. It's work and it kept me busy. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Customer service was my main goal. Make your customers happy and you will see them almost every day.
