Not COVID safe, hectic, and crowded
Not COVID safe, hectic, and crowded
Double pay on Sunday, you won’t miss that family or your life! Your life is now sold to the devil of retail, Costco!
But don’t worry, these benefits are just amazing! Good luck with your mental health and getting by the super salty seniors.
You are running through the crowded halls of Costco, trying to move around 80 shoppers. You head over to the freezer to leave some milk before it goes bad because a member chose to no longer buy it. You run all the way back to the front.
People lined up like sheep, all over your face, breathing and coughing heavily. You realize a member needs help. You try to alert your front-end supervisor, but they yell at you and say they don’t have time for that right now. You are left with an angry member, so you finally get a hold of a supervisor from another department to help.
Now back to stacking boxes and unloading heavy items.
And only two 15-minute breaks if you get lucky, and one 30-minute one. They tend to send you home early, so you better come prepared to starve if you are scheduled to work an 8-hour shift.
Management should prioritize mental well-being WAY MORE than membership upgrades.
