Fred Meyer reviews

Fred Meyer forbids employees from accepting tips. Parcel clerks have to put back groceries from the backs of checkstands to a shelving unit (non-perishables like cereal, flour, canned goods) which is dumb since not many parcel clerks know where everything goes like anyone in the food department does. Parcel clerk job is minimum wage - look to change positions if you want a raise. If you're in school looking for a part-time 12-hour job don't be surprised if they initially schedule you on 20-26 hrs / week; we don't have very many parcels. If it's a sunny day, 1-2 days before a holiday, or word hits that there might be a storm coming, more customers will come in, which means there's more people coming in and taking the carts and leaving them all over the parking lot and sometimes outside the parking lot.

This is retail. Retail is not fun because customers don't realize how annoying and rude they are. Retail is also not fun because corporate always wants you to get more work done with fewer resources. The deli sucks because it typically loses a store money and directly interacts with customers, so you get both of the above extra hard. Shout outs to cashiers for having to deal with every customer, though. The pay cap was also much lower in the deli and came with a more stressful work environment than the rest of the store.
