I work as a casual at a grocery store. I cannot shop there anymore because they keep trying to grab me to get me to work or sort out my next shift or do a manager a favor or help a customer find something.
Unpaid of course.
The most recent time (and last) time I went there as a customer a manager told me to go to my manager's office to sort out a shift change. I sorted it out the day before, after my shift. I already wasted some of my own unpaid time. I am not wasting more of my own time because she conveniently forgot about what I told her.
The time before that a coworker dumped expired meat into my hands. I assume she thought I was working as I was wearing a similar jumper to my uniform. As an added bonus, while dealing with expired meat is a part of my job, no one has ever told me what I am supposed to do with it and everyone I asked has no idea either because they got told it is the shelf stackers job. I am always the only shelf stacker on shift.
A week before that when I was in line for the self serve checkout a coworker told me that my manager wanted me so I had to go find her. She told me to do the online training. I got a non answer when I asked if the training will be paid and if it is per hour like normal work or per module. Before anyone asks, I did do the training (Not in my own time. Yay! but they would have been delighted if I did) and there was nothing on what to do with expired produce. It did train me on the correct way to fill up a spray bottle though.
These are not big issues, especially compared to the shit that people here experience, but it is quite annoying. I just want to shop in peace.
