Key Food

Key Food is a company that I appreciate for its convenience and expansive network of grocery stores. With numerous locations, it offers a convenient shopping experience, ensuring that I can easily access their products. I appreciate the wide range of items available, from fresh produce to pantry staples, making it a one-stop-shop for my grocery needs. Moreover, Key Food often offers competitive prices and promotions, which is a definite plus.

However, one area where I have encountered some challenges is the management within certain Key Food stores. At times, the management has been subpar, resulting in inefficiencies and issues with customer service. There have been instances where the store is understaffed, leading to longer wait times and difficulties in finding assistance. Additionally, communication between management and staff could be improved to foster a more productive work environment.

Despite these occasional setbacks, I still find Key Food to be a convenient and accessible option for my grocery shopping needs. With its extensive network and wide range of products, I appreciate the overall shopping experience it provides.

If you're new things may seem normal at first. Some of the morning shift Management are very bad at doing their job when it comes to their employees. Employees are very much so mistreated, and the longer you stay the worse they'll expect from you. Though if you're willing to suck up you might gain something. There is no advancements unless someone quits or is on leave, they'll make you a temporary replacement. They don't like overtime workers and would get angry if you do overtime. Their breaks are randomized and not guaranteed, you could be forced to take a break 30mins before it's about time you leave or no break at all. They'll occasionally force you to take short breaks, just because it's busy. Beware of there being no first aid kits, during an injury they did not have one at the time (May be different now). Pay was good enough to survice for food and small bills (cell phone). Never no call no show, or call in sick. They'll give you a warning or worse, They'll fire you.

usually it would depend on weekdays and weekends. usually on weekends its pack with customers and we would have to be on our toes with checking the customers groceries out. Espcially answering questions for the customers. On weekdays its calmer but sometimes in the evening it would get pack all of sudden. Sometimes customers come in 5 minutes before closing but its usually not a problem since one of the registers would still have to be open until the doors are locked. Also have to be very catuious and pay attention to when the customers would pay, sometimes they would take their card out super fast and leave and it wont go through, and of they already left you have to pay for their mistake. Also if your register comes out short you need to pay, so basically they dont take it out of your paycheck.

Work was usually busy especially during the night shift, the costumers were nice most of the time , you had your faves and ones who acted like you owed them something. I've learned the way they treated there employees wasn't fair at all. Management over looked lots of wrong doing because it was family owned. You had managers that were willing to work with you and others who wanted to work you to the bone with no breaks. No matter how many hours you worked you got one 15 minute break only. My coworkers were nice , helpful and often had the same views as me but let unfairness often bypass them because they were happy with having a job in general. The hardest part was standing on my feet for hours with fifteen minutes breaks and the most enjoyable part was the nice customers that helped make the day easier.

Working at Zahra Soho was a great experience. I met people from all over who came in to shop from brands. Hearing and seeing people from different styles and cultures was very interesting and entertaining. My Bosses and Managers were really nice.....strick but very cool. I was first on the floor during my first few days but was quickly recognized by my boss and was moved from floor to stock room where I was arranging clothes and labeling them and rearranging the clothing room. It was a lot of work but i'm use to it. My c0- workers were very friendly and hard working. On a slow day, we will all stay in our sections and chat a bit but was always constantly working, whether it was folding clothes, cleaning or helping customers. Overall I really enjoyed everything about working with Zahra.

The supermarket industry is handled differently now in many ways I'm sure. I worked there while I was in College and several years after. My store closed for full renovations. Installation of computer registers and office system.  We were sent to other stores. Upon our return I went from cashier to primarily closing bookkeeper. There was the occasion or so when I was asked to cover the day shift. We didn't get pto. I was a member of the union. If you had appointments you gave that info to the staff coordinating manager. Then the schedule got posted. I don't recall needing to leave during a shift. If staff needed too, they would talk to the manager on duty. The time I was there I felt I was treated fairly. I resigned in good standing. It was actually fun work to me. 

Over all my key food experience was very average at best. My hours corresponded with my school hours where I was able to get to work on time every day after school.I would usually start at 4:30 and worked till the store closes. The pay was good for the amount of hours that i worked. Which is very limiting because of me being a minor, but the work was not very stressful if anything it was very relaxing. The work environment was very clean and they took very good care of there establishment and it was obvious that they did care about there works being comfortable and not to stressed out. I did make a lot of friend at the job an as well as it taught me to have conversations with the customers. Over all I have very little complaints about key food it was very good job that gave me a lot of experience with being a good cashier.

A typical day at Key Food , would be helping and trying my best to satisfy every single customer that enters the store. I maintain my cashiers to work at a fast past and treat our customer which respect and ask them questions like , 'Did you find everything you was looking for ?'. I would say that the most challenging part of this job is to have everything running smoothly and I can make it happen. I enjoy doing this type of job because I grew into the world of business and helping people especially convincing them to buy food. The store I work in is located In Queens and I deal with all kind of people of different cultures, I am happy to say that I know English and Spanish. I can defend communicate and write both languages very well.
