I do 99% of our shopping at Winco. I've come to preferer the people there too. Too many soccer moms, woke, prissy, nasty attitude types at Fred's. I swear the "Common" folks at Winco have peripheral vision too. At least that's my perception.
Part of empty shelves issue is useless sacks that are on the payroll that don't show up to work! If it's happening at the store level, it happening at the warehouse level too. So many of the working age people in the area, country(?) have no work ethic. Every day there are people that call out. The majority that do this every week for the most part, are people mid '20s to mid 40s. Wifey had to mention to an early-mid 20s gal that's been there for about six months that cell phone use on the floor while they're on the clock is not permitted. Cell phone aren't permitted on your person while you're on the clock. This gal wrote a long complaint about wifey shouldn't be allowed to even talk to her, and that because of harassments she was resigning. This gal had come in 1 1/2 hours late too. Wifey is third in command/Front end Manager at this store. For going on 24 years. This sort of behavior is going on at ALL stores like this. The store operates short handed more often than they run a full staff. If shelves have empty spots it could very well be their freight crews aren't showing up fully. And when they do show, work quality and quantity is sub par.
