I wanted to thank Grocery

[gopiscrap]

Clerks, checkers, stockers etc I have been in grocery stores each of the past 3 days and have seen them work like crazy!!! There deserve our respect and gratitude!!!

1. My son is a grocery checker/stocker

He’s been working overtime all week. I have to say, his store has done a great job keeping the shelves full. They were working their butts off today.

[renate]

2. I wrote a little thank-you note on the form they have at my grocery store

It's nice that instead of just a suggestion box they actually consider the possibility that their employees would deserve a thank you, so they have a separate form for that.

If your grocery store doesn't have those forms, I'm sure it would mean the world if you sent a thank-you letter to the entire staff to put on the bulletin board!

[raging moderate]

3. All store workers have been heroic!

At all times, their work furnishes the rest of us with what we need to live. You are right. They deserve our respect and gratitude. During this emergency, however, they have been heroic!

19. Proving once again that all members of society who work make invaluable contributions to us all

Whether picking up our refuse, driving a bus or performing open heart surgery, everyone who does a job makes an invaluable contribution to society and should earn a living wage.

I’m not suggesting bus drivers should earn the same as brain surgeons. I am saying that if you drive a bus for 40 hours a week you should be paid a salary sufficient to keep you and your family well sheltered, fed, clothed and medically and dentally cared for.

4. yes indeed

they are a soldiers , my gratitude, my respects

[no_hypocrisy]

5. Thank you. I'm a cashier and have been called in to work on my days off.

The lines are amazing.

The belts are laden with food, three layers average.

And double-bagging almost always.

Add to this one douchebag customer who was intent on getting me fired last night.

8. Yeah, unfortunately fear and stress often

Bring out the worst in people. Now that we have gotten over the shock of this new world we live in, try to take comfort in the fact that it won’t last forever.

10. People don't realize how difficult your job is on a zillion

different levels. You have must the patience of a saint too.

[DENVERPOPS]

11. All the assholes

feel emboldened to say/do whatever they feel these days.

Of course, the douchebag customer could be a Trumphumper who finally realized that they have been conned.
Hell hath no fury like a worshipper conned????????.

Wow. Now there is a fantasy. Fifty Million TrumpHumpers flipping and becoming pissed off at him, his entire administration and the entire collective group of Republican House Members and Republican Senators.
It would be a literal tar and feathering of Biblical proportions...........

6. You are right!

I was just in my fave store along with hundreds of other people. They are trying to use the usually unused checkout counters and the computers do not want to cooperate. They are doing the best they can - with smiles!

[yaesu]

7. All have been very helpful & very upbeat which always helps. nt

[BigmanPigman]

9. Hell yes!

[bullwinkle428]

12. Damn straight!! I was in 2 different stores after work, and everybody in the store was

doing an amazing job to keep things as "normal" as possible under the circumstances. I was shocked by how much of what I wanted was still there for purchase...

[NellieStarbuck]

13. Thank you!

My baby girl is on the grocery store front lines and she's coming home, having been slammed all day and staying late and getting barked at by people all day. As her mother, I worry about all the people she's coming into close contact with. Most people, I think, are patient and kind through this crisis. But it only takes one . . .

[Marrah_Goodman]

14. My housemates work at Walmart

They said today was insane.

[ihaveaquestion]

15. Grocery delivery services are slammed!

I tried to place an order and couldn't get delivery until 3/19. Earliest available pickup date is 3/17.

It's getting real out there folks!

[sarcasmo]

18. Yeah Amazon shows one of my orders 3/18 and the other 3/29. Crazy Times.

I just came home fifteen minutes ago.

17. Went into 3 grocery stores today and was shocked at the lines

Just wanted to get some sparking water. The lines were so long all the way to the end of the aisles. I ended up going to a liquor store.

The POS in the White House so f’ed up people are losing their minds.

20. I agree with everything you said, and these unsung heroes are right in the front row

of infection risk, face to face with and taking cash from the possibly unwashed hands of hundreds of random people each day. This must be an especially tough job these days. They should have a "combat pay" bonus.

[Hotler]

21. Yes, Thanks gorcery crews but,.......

I think Kroger Management has dropped the ball.
