Not terrible, yet not the best. A lot of favoritism and not enough understanding regarding call outs due to things such as sickness or emergency situations. Bosses easily got mad over small things and rather than talk it out, it was more so being rude to said person they were mad at. I got wrote up multiple times for very small incidents/situations, I never got fired, assuming because they realized the unreasoning behind the write ups. Aside from management, it’s pretty decent I’d say, and not all managers were so bad, some were really great and helpful and understanding. The pay is pretty decent nowadays, when I first started it was pretty low, but that was 6 or so years ago, now they got pretty good starting rates, in my opinion, considering it really is an easy job, pretty repetitive as most cashiering jobs are. I will say it is a fairly greedy company, though. Raises are hardly seen, unless they’re the yearly appraisal raises after your evaluations, which are very small raises, mostly around $.30 or less, sometimes $.50 if you’re lucky. It’s also fairly difficult to move up, if you’re an existing employee because they’d rather hire outside help instead of allowing their existing employees a chance to succeed in different positions, I was lucky enough to get a promotion, however, it took years of me working there especially after being looked over multiple times, although I was definitely qualified for the job position in the beginning and I pretty much only got the promotion because they were in desperate need of me for that position and too lazy to take the time to find other candidates, which was lucky for me but didn’t necessarily make me feel all that great, considering a fellow coworker I had been working with was offered it right before I was, he denied due to him already working his two week notice and I of course then was offered it, only due to his rejection… the kid was a great kid don’t get me wrong, but I was far more qualified and knew more of the ins and outs of the job so it baffled me. I only accepted the position due to a pretty good raise, however the only reason the raise was so great was because of how little I was making, to put it into perspective the starting cashiers were making more than I was and at that time I was in a position that is supposed to be making more than cashiers because it’s more of a work load than cashiering. I will say I have met the best people working there, regarding fellow coworkers, there of course was a select few people who were dramatic and such, but for the most part I made some of my best friends there, it’s wild because many people that I did work with actually said the same as I did, we only stayed there because of how much we all liked working together, because most of us got along that nicely, sadly management ruined that for many people due to their greediness and incompetence. Management wasn’t always bad, 24/7, there of course were days they were friendly and great and understanding, but for the majority of my working time there, it truthfully was sad, the amount of people who felt truly ignored, undermined, underestimated…etc. So, if you’re looking for an easy and simple side job or just maybe a job flexible with your schooling… etc, it’s honestly a good place to start, but if you’re looking for anything long term or good benefits then you’re much better off starting out in a position hire up, don’t try getting a lower paid position and think it’s going to be easy to work your way up, because it’s extremely difficult to, not only experienced it myself, witnessed it with many other employees there. Also meant to mention because it’s the most important….I said the company was greedy, because they of course are greedy, but I forgot to mention another reason for that is their hours, they REFUSE to give over time and if they absolutely have to or it happens on accident it’s a whole entire meltdown ordeal. Getting their hours at the lowest they can is their goal because from my understanding and I have heard it many times, even from managers, the store manager supposedly gets a fat bonus if they can keep their hours at a minimum and meet the threshold or stay below it, hence why there were extreme hour cuts. I put myself as a cashier because that’s kind of what I started at and ended at but I did have a full time position at one point and when I tell you the hour cuts were extreme I mean it, sending full time employees home an hour early or telling them to show up an hour later, almost everybody but favorites got those hour cuts, too. Very seldom were you asked, most of the time you were told, or they’d write it on the schedule and not tell you and come to you at said time and tell you it’s time to leave. There are even times I’ve been told to tell my next person on shift (when I was in a full time position/in a higher up position) to not come in at all, completely take them off of the schedule because we don’t need them due to having barely any hours to spare and it’s not busy enough for them, knowing that person has only that job and is flexible with their schedule and can come in anytime they’re needed… it was pretty odd to me to be honest, I cannot understand why you’d rather be greedy and get a yearly fat bonus, all to just yourself, especially when you’re already wealthy and rid people of their hours, their money, their livelihood all for a fatter bonus, when you’re getting the bonus regardless it’s just larger when you meet that threshold, that’s being an entirely greedy and insensitive boss. The boss would rather see people struggle to do multiple jobs or pick up the slack of your cuts and put extra pressure on some workers, rather than keep hours how they’re already scheduled and just let the hours exceed the threshold or be right at it sometimes. Crazy thing is I worked at a fairly busy store and the busier your store of the course the more hours you’re allocated, so they’d lie and say they’re out of hours but that just meant the boss is worried about not making the cut for the big bonus check. 

I had been employed through Foodlion since I was 16. Worked from a part-time bagger to a Meat Market Manager and had been with the company for over 20+ years. There have been many ups and downs throughout my stay. For those wondering if this is good career choice, the answer is no. Let me explain. Listed below isnt necessarily true for everyone, Mainly department managers.

Work-This job is very repetitive, You do almost the same thing day in and day out. If you work at a low volume store, your days throughout the week will drag out forever for an 8 hour shift. High volume, increase your stress limit by 50% and at the end of your day @ a high volume store, You will stay running on either energy drinks or alcohol. Over time from being on my feet constantly moving 8+ hour a day,  I developed restless leg syndrome. I also worked in the market so the temperature was usually 35-40 degrees, my body got very use to that environment. So much so that i sweat very easily in mild weather. I usually have to keep my thermostat at home below 70 to stay comfortable.

Holidays-Expect to work holidays instead of being with your family. Over my 20+ year stay I had became almost immune to Thanksgiving dinners, New years eve party's, missed countless Superbowl's etc. Its quite sad actually. It is NOT a given as a department manager you can schedule yourself off whenever you want. Its quite honestly frowned upon by management if your not in the trenches. Your expected to be there. Foodlion is closed ONE day a year and that is Christmas day.

Customers-If you ARE NOT comfortable being able to explain situations to irate customers face to face this job is not for you. It requires thick... very thick skin. Some situations are uncontrollable, The warehouse is out of stock, The price batches havnt been downloaded to the scales, the SALES papers are printed incorrectly. None of this YOU can control, But yet youve got a 70 year old woman pounding her index finger into a sales paper @ 7AM calling you a "LIAR!!..A FRAUD!!". Again, if you cant bite your tongue and put on a good show, Look elsewhere. The customer is always right. BUT a HIGH MAJORITY of Foodlion employees I know are laid back,Funny, Considerate and Easily to relate to kind of people. I had wished sometimes customers would understand that. These people dont work there to "Take your money" or "screw you over"..Hell its not like the money ever went directly into my pocket!!.They are there to HELP/ASSIST NOT to be your verbal punching bag.

Advancement- After you land an HOURLY department manager spot the only next move would be to an assistant store manager a SALARY position. The salary scale is ridiculous. These people put in sometimes 80 hours a week for the same paycheck amount. Break that down, their making about $10/hr. Myself, as an hourly department manager probably brings home around the same amount after 2 weeks. They worked 160 hrs. I worked 80 and got the same amount.When I hit over 40 hrs. im @ a time 1/2 pay. To jump from a department manager to assistant store manager, Your looking at a 3% raise. Absolutely not worth it. . Ive seen some assistants work 16 hour days for a couple weeks. I really dont see how some of them have a life outside of work...AT ALL...They basically LIVE at the store. The Assistant store managers are your work horses, but if they dont have a good Store manager that cares above them, Its just a dark path to nowhere.

Upper management- Not @ store level.Im talking about the office $100K+/Year folks. They dont have a clue. Always giving misguidance for store level employees. Their statements always contradict themselves. Instead of riding on the success of their employees they like to come up with "better strategies"  aka- your never doing good enough. They enjoy changing job descriptions and making another associate pick up the work load (most of the time for the same amount of pay). Food Lion/Bottom Dollar/Bloom/DHA has had alot of failed business ventures over the past few years. And as far as technical advances they are way behind the curve with other grocery chains. I really wish they could get their act together and learn to grow this company for what its intended to be. And if that means a CEO that CLEANS HOUSE, then that's what its going to take.

If youve made it this far, those are the huge negatives that come with the job. The #1 plus though is meeting and being around your fellow co-workers. These people come from all walks of life and all have great personalities. Ive made many friendships through Food lion. 

I made my decision to walk away from Food lion because of the poor Upper management. I didnt agree with the direction the company was going..and still don't. Too much dead weight @ the top. They CUT CUT CUT CUT from employees and demand more productivity in the same sentence. They CUT from employees to make up for their HORRIBLE business decisions in the past and present. There is almost NO incentives anymore for associate that have been with the company 8+ years. (They took away grandfather clauses, changed vacation time layouts etc). I guess this is how they exterminate the older folks that helped build this company. Pinch pennys and fill their positions with 18 year old pimple faced kids making $8.00/Hr who care more about whos screwing who...Time marches on, and so will this company..Hopefully it will be bought out within the next couple of years to someone who has a clue about business.

To summarize, I hear little to nothing about advancement in the current FoodLion I work in. The managers partially care for your well being and productivity, but just doesnt cut the professional growth standpoint I’d like to take at my job. I go over and above every day I work but get a “good job” in return, or some little acknowledgment… (maybe food in the break room sometimes, while we aren’t working to snack on, if any at all) … of the level and intensity of employment as a To-Go Associate. The skill and concentration came from practice, and the speed came after practice. Now I do my job efficiently though sometimes my position entails me to work two technical jobs at once, because they either don’t have coverage, or don’t schedule enough people to handle daily routine. So I find myself speed walking at full speed everywhere tiring out early and continuing the duties of two employees at once. over bearing to say the least. This is something that should be acknowledged as we never have enough employees to efficiently do the runner phone, and shop for orders at the same time during mid day-closing. This duty usually falls on the closer to do both jobs at once which messes up our time on orders consistently and shows in our performance data, which we get judged upon about every month, but can be viewed every week by a higher up. Having to do both of these things at once because of little help, or just no one being scheduled for this duty makes me tired and angry at the same time. We can’t work two jobs at once, you pay us to do one at a time. This needs to be addressed as we are always under staffed during closing hours. Specifically today was the Super Bowl, there was 22 staged orders to go out, 3 orders to shop, and One employee (Me) to do it all. Take out orders staged, and shop orders at the same time. Clearly messing up my timing on each order as I was told to completely stop working the order and take out the runner phone order. Completely disregarding my personal timing which I get judged on by Higher Ups. This even matters if I want to stay with the company for a long time. All I’m saying is, if there’s a dedicated runner, the to go associates can do Their Orders or Front end stuff when the time comes, while someone besides us, handles the duties of a runner. (Getting the order staged, bringing it to cars, (sometimes 3 or 4 people want orders at once)) How is one person going to efficiently take out 4 orders IN ONE moment to sometimes angry or unwavering clients of business. Correct, you cannot. You must make the other 2-3 wait while you bring out one or maybe two if they’re small, orders at the same time. Placing pressure in the timing of the whole gig on one person and not as a team, is just wrong.

Instead what the solution to this would be, is a dedicated Front end associate Runner. Not a Togo associate runner. You wouldn’t want the two positions to mix with each other because this is highly inefficient. When it comes to Wanting a Good Time on each order as a To-Go Associate. 
So regardless this is just some prevalent information on my mind as I finished up the duties of my night in a hurrying manner. As almost every night is like this for me. I primarily work closing to-go shift. To be specific, and I wish for no one of management to be shared this, only action upon my findings. 
Maybe we can get better things rolling and a happier atmosphere with less stress. I know retail is stress but A Grocery store? Why does it have to be stressful every night I work? Also how can we efficiently discuss my findings. If management reads this, they know who I am. I have a lot on my mind daily, and it’d be best if they did not know. But if the back end is accomplished in specific terms to my statements, let’s just end on this. 

We would be a lot happier and more productive with our out-of-work daily lives if we didn’t stress specific things like this. I will continue to report my findings as I further my understanding of the position. Thank you for hearing me out.

Food Lion provides exceptional opportunities in the areas of empowered decision making, decent benefits (available to full time associates), and enables you to build experience in the customer service field that you may use throughout the course of your work career. The work culture is projected to be positive and uplifting through the company's website and intrasite, however due to alterations in company culture and strategic changes to our brand and operations, comes with discrepancies throughout every day in-store operations and decision making. This can be very counterproductive to your work moral and difficult to manage. Ex: late truck deliveries that complicate work flow and lacking provisions of appropriate products and service, resulting in frequent consumer dissatisfaction, associate complaints, etc.

Throughout the course of employment, you will meet some wonderful people, customers and associates alike. However, many characters that embody our salary and management team should not be there. There are repetitive obstacles encompassing frequent unprofessionalism and lack of accountability. Salary managers are expected to be present in the workplace for at least 40-45hrs a week, but many are not. Habits of weak leadership eventually lead to unpleasant work conditions.

Career advancement can be challenging. Interviews for various positions are an obligation, and many positions made available for advancement frequently have a pre-selected employee prior to given interviews. These decisions are not made based on skill set or future leadership capacity, but rather partialism and favoritism. This can be very frustrating to any applicant seeking long term opportunities for positional advancement and discourages current and future associates from investing in their profesional endeavors.

Supervisors, directors, specialists, etc are consistently present in the area providing constructive criticism and logistics to better business results. Although conflicting at times, most of these men and women provide equal advisory resources to every associate that seeks it. This company like many other companies will report daily, weekly, and monthly financials and results. It is made aware that this is priority over everything else. Prioritizing financials to benefit private share holders and ensuring appropriate bonuses for salary positions over hourly employees and their interests will indefinitely result in longterm complications with future progression.

Benefits that include 401k, health, vision/dental, paid time off, etc are provided to full time employees. The payrate for entry level positions are underwhelming;
With invested time, long term hourly associates tend to make mediocre to decent pay depending on their position and pay scale. Job security is solid, however there are constantly labor cuts and consequential effects on in-store associates due to company expenditures, salary provided bonuses, etc. Part time associates usually recieve the worse end of this, resulting in increasingly difficult work conditions for department managers and full time assoicates.

What is the best part of working at the company?
They don't give you any hours they do not care about your well-being and the job situation like cashier position has changed they do not keep their plastic bags up front at the registers anymore they have to bring them to you the other coworkers who work there do not care whether the bags are full or empty they don't do their job the way it's supposed to be done I work there probably about 8 years ago and you are required to stock your own register to fill your bags before you left and wipe your own registered down now whoever's left at the end of this night or whenever usually it's it was at the end of the night for me they make you do all the registers to make you sweet to make you do the little carpets that you stand on they make you wipe down every register and they make you feel all the backs I'm sorry everybody who works there day or night when you're ready to leave your register should be done it should not be done by any other employee except for you you should fill your own bags wipe your own register down and yeah sweep your own area which is not have to do anybody else's job things have changed there and it's not a very good place to work anymore I didn't even last a month there this time and everybody that I was working with that I worked there with was gone by the time I was gone they obviously didn't stay very long and they weren't making enough money because they weren't putting in enough hours the job is good if you're looking for something part time and I mean part time that's anywhere from 20 to 25 hours a month not a week a month and I enjoyed working there 8 years ago that the staff was kind and generous the new staff the managers are not very nice and they talk bad about you so no it's not a very good place to work but if you need a few dollars in your pocket it's the perfect place to work

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The only stressful part about the job I have back problems and my body is literally giving out on itself my legs my knees and my back all the twisting and turning and the small area that you have to work in now and the registers they're not very big anymore and specially the smaller ones they should not use the small ones for big orders it should open the small ones for 12 items or less or 20 items or less it was just too much turning too much bending down too much bending over too much reaching all to put the groceries in the customer's part because the registers weren't very big I think most of all that was the most stressful part

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Sound like I said before the environment was not very kind and people managers and some of the coworkers and I don't mean the people who have been there for a while I mean some of the girls that they hire they act like they're better than everybody else and one of the managers not going to name any names she really says mean things to you and about you but as far as the culture goes they don't discriminate there's all kinds of different ethnic people there and some of them were kind others weren't

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
It's a typical day you go in you clock in and you wait until they tell you which register you're going to and then you just stand there until a customer comes and then you ring them out that's a typical day at the company

From the beginning, Food Lion is equally inviting and professional. Your first impression of the job is, it is a place you would like to work. Upon hire, rather than being trained in day-to-day tasks, you are told to begin your job. This is fine, for now, but you'd prefer training. Time goes by and you learn how little time anyone has for training. You learn no one has been properly trained; everyone is doing what they can best.

Food Lion has taught me a lot about working as a team - both what to do, and what not to do. I've improved socially through working with a diverse team, and I've encountered both drama and unnecessary pressure, which I've learned to handle.

The next impression you will get is that management aren't always on the same page. Whether it's an assistant department manager disagreeing with the department manager, the store manager having a different plan than the department manager, or a lack of communication between any management and the storehouse on what is needed and why things aren't coming in, you'll begin to see a lack of teamwork in the higher ups.

The workplace culture is amazing; they push to strive for courage, integrity, teamwork, care, and humility. They encourage you to take ownership and act with a "count on me" attitude. My one wish is for the store to properly implement it, and for the associates to care enough to follow. With economic inflation, the average pay has been vastly outdone by other stores, and it causes discouragement. Mixed with the lack of teamwork in management, the lack of training, and the expectation for excellence, the pressure to stay at this job will build over time.

The most difficult part of the job isn't even the job duties itself - those are easy to get the hang of. The most difficult part of the job is to meet expectations without support and teamwork from management, all with being expected to know the position without watching any training video. It doesn't help when what you need to meet demand is denied by management to cut costs, and you haven't even got the time to take matters into your own hands because you're too busy helping customers. Added to this, when they somehow find ways to fit all the responsibility onto you because they can't find anyone else to do the job, it makes it difficult to work with this pressure for longer hours and less pay. 

Then, when your teammates blame the prior paragraphs on you for your "lack of time management" over issues where management could've done better, you begin to feel like the supposed culture of Food Lion is just for show.

This isn't to say all Food Lion stores are like this, this is just my experience in any Food Lion store I happened to work at. Food Lion has always been a place to strive for growth, which I believe sets it apart from other stores. The most enjoyable part of the job is the sense of family you get with your coworkers, and the feeling of accomplishment when Food Lion's policies and culture are actively practiced, starting at hire. 

A typical day as a bookkeeper at Food Lion consists of managing the front end and taking care of the Service Desk and Office.For example: When I first arrive at work I am required to count the safe and the service desk till at shift change to balance the office safe and make sure the till is still even. Afterwards, I am to manage the front end and all cashiers by giving breaks and making sure all policies and procedures are being complied with and we are making a wonderful shopping experience for our customers. This may mean "coaching" cashiers that arent up to par on job responsibilities or that may be falling behind on performance goals. I am also responsible for making my co-workers and cashiers feel comfortable talking to me about any questions that they may have or any training that they may feel they need. While managing the front end I am also responsible for customers who arrive at the Service Center, which may mean performing Western Union, Money Order, Check Cashing or Lottery transactions, as well as returns and exchanges and other customer questions. After peak hours have ended it is my job to balance all cash, checks, and WICS within the till and reset the tills for the next shift. If I was to work in the Morning I would be responsible for running all sales reports and office reports for balancing the cash and other tenders for the previous day.

I have learned alot about management skills while at Food Lion, seeing as though many times we do not have management on the front end. I have learned that the best way to manage my cashiers is to listen when they have a question or to jump in and help when it is needed but to also suggest help if i see that they are falling behind and help them the best way that I can so that they may succeed in their job. I love and respect my co-workers, and they all know that I will work just as hard as they do to ensure a proper work experience that reflects in our Customer Service approach with our customers. A happy employee makes a happy customer!

I think that the hardest part of my job in the last year has been working a closing shift and then turning around and waking up in four hours to open again. I have a two-year old son and it is difficult to work a swing shift when I have to get him up and moving too.

The most enjoyable part of my job is my customers! I have customers that still come to me and will wait in line to talk to me because they have known me since I was at Bilo. Most of my customers are like family to me and I know their names just as much as they know mine. I see them out in public and they hug my neck because they are excited to see me. I go out of my way to always make my customers feel important because that is the way that I expect to be treated when I am shopping somewhere.

I learned the skills that a stock boy needs very quickly and learned to cooperate with my fellow intern worker at the same time. I was called on to stock items on the highest shelves, since i'm 6 feet, 4 inches tall. One of the employers at Food Lion told me that he certainly would hire me as soon as a stock boy position or even a janitors position becomes available there. During my two months of training there, i worked quickly, yet efficiently and accurately to get the job done. My fellow co-workers cooperated with me and explained to me exactly what to do and i had ample time to learn all of a stock boy's skills. I and my fellow intern worked about four hours each day, stocking items on shelves and learned how to put items in the appropriate places in accordance with the expiration dates on them, and also we took great care to not lose or destroy any items, especially the ones in glass containers. I learned to take great care with the fine points of the job, such as which items to stock on which days so that we would not do items in one group two or more days in a row, and we learned how to put the rest of the items back onto the shelves after we finished unloading the boxes, so that the items would already be grouped for the next stock boy who would come on the next shift. Also, i learned of some of the consistent mistakes that some of the other workers had made, such as putting items in one group which do not belong with the items of the entire other group and kept them separate ourselves. Also, i caught on very quickly to which items customers buy very often and which ones they buy less often so that we would not spend too much time trying to stock items which a stock boy would not typically stock very often. I even undid some of the mistakes that some of the other stock boys had made, by, for example rearranging items that they had already put in inaccurate chronological date and put them into the correct order myself. Also, i took the initiative to learn how to do certain things about the job on my own that my co worker or my supervisor did not even tell me, so that i would do the entire job more efficiently, and i made sure that the things that i did on my own were not contrary to what my supervisor wanted me to do and if i suspected that they were not acceptable, then i asked my supervisor exactly what to do to get the job done completely correctly.

Arrive at work go to the back of the store unload the grocery truck then start down stacking the pilots of dry grocery products. We put the will carts in a line putting them accordingly with each aisle which we call a float then set the items on the float where they are at on the floor. After the down stacking is down all of the stocking employees take a float and go in to the store and run the items to the shelves. When all the items have been ran before we leave the store we have to run staples which are mostly everyday necessities which are sugar, water, milk, bread, eggs, and ice. After that we are free to go home. 
     The things that I learned from being a stocker is to think quickly on my feet to know things are and being faster putting the items on the shelves and have enjoy the time at work if I do not have a good attitude going to work that day will be horrible and the day will seem to go by slower. The truck will seem bigger the time will go by so slow by the time you think a couple of hours passed by and its only been 30 minutes.
      The management where I work at are so hard workers they will go out of there way to help us out if we have a problem and if we are getting behind with the truck they will grab a float and help us run it. They are so friendly to the customers and the employees they will do anything and everything for anybody. They would even come in on their days off and help with a situation that we can not solve I am proud to work with people like them. 
      My co-workers are some of my best friends. We would look after each other with anything from work to personal life situations they can give out the best advice. We all have fun working with each other. When we work we have to be one of the best team tandems that I have ever seen out of any business I have been in. All of us will think out side the box to think of ways to make us get through things quicker. 
     Remembering where things are in the store is the hardest thing about the job. What makes it tricky is when the vendors come in the store and rearranged everything on each aisle. When the next time the truck comes everyone has to walk the aisle a couple of times to get use to where they put the items. Other than that nothing is really difficult about the stocking position. 
     Everyone is a big family at food lion. We are there for each other do anything to help each other out. We all have a good time working with each other making each other laugh by being our own selves and just enjoying our time together as much as we can. No one leaves anybody out making anyone feel alone, shy, or nervous.        

A typical work day is clocking in and going to the register that I have been assigned that day. I scan and bag the groceries. If I have any putbacks that need to go back right away, such as perishables, I will take them back to the freezer or deli section. I answer customers questions to the best of my ability and I will also answer the phone when need be. I've learned how to multitask and how to come out of my shell. The store manager and assistant store manager are really good people. The Customer Service Manager leaves a lot to be desired. She sometimes will speak in this baby voice to you and other times she will stare you down and has nothing to say to you. One thing I've learned is that the store that I am employed at is very clicky! If you're in the office you can get away with and basically do whatever you want. i.e. cuss in front of customers, do not have to adhere to the dress code/policy, eat and drink when they want to. They promote cashiers based on who in the office like you. If someone in office doesn't like you then you're going to be stuck on that register. A few people have been told in interviews that they're going to office in a few weeks/months and after 2 years they're still on the register. Then there was a cashier who came in and 3 months later they're promoted to Office Assistant! And this particular person just did not deserve the promotion. The office personnel are the ones that get good hours. Regular cashiers get anywhere from 9-15 hours a week. If you ask for more hours you're told yes, but you never get them. The cashier co-workers are really great people to work with, but office does not want to associate with you because you're just a cashier. You can not go to the Customer Service Assistant Manager or Manager with problems about another employee (especially someone in office) because they will run to them and tell them everything that you said and then the next time that you are working with the office person they will confront and harass you and make your life miserable. I feel that if you have a problem you should be able to talk to management and those be held accountable without any repercussions on your part. Also, at my store there is a certain office person who will send you on a lunch no matter how many hours you're scheduled to work when the policy is 6 hours or more you have to go to lunch, less than 6 hours you take a break. There really isn't anything hard about the job. It does get boring at times. And a person can only clean their area so much when you don't have a customer. The most enjoyable part of the job is getting to know the customers and the coworkers that are friendly.
