Save On Foods

I'm going to be be brutally honest here, reviewing my just-over-a-year experience of working at the Salmon Arm location: Store #975

I have been working at this location since December 2017, and took a break during July and August of 2018 to work at another job (with better compensation) so I cannot comment on the summertime experience, though co-workers said that it's hectically busy. I am about a month away from dwindling my full-time position down to about 8 hours per week, so I can give a general insight to working at this particular location. 

I was trained on cash, produce, grocery, and deli; 

Cash: Repetitive as always, and your attitude and how you're feeling that day will make or break it. The people in Salmon Arm are friendly, and seldom have I ever gotten a rude customer. You must be able to push their rudeness aside when it happens, and talk it out with the next few customers who will laugh along at that person's atrocity. Most cashiers are very nice people, but there's those who've been with the company for many years who feel entitled to push you around and order you to do whatever they want. Often times, there's a cashier who will phone the "runaround" person to do stuff like collect baskets - even on a busy day - while they're "busy" (slowly) re-filling the till-side chocolates and other last-minute decisions, or gathering around the customer service desk to chat with people. 

Grocery: stocking shelves and facing them, sorting out the mass amounts of freight that comes in. Your attitude in all departments of the store are what'll make or break your job, so what I did was become keen on seeing how much I can put out, and also think of it as a workout you're being paid for, as I've gotten much stronger since starting here versus my previous (desk) job. You might be out collecting carts and being a run-around person as well, and you're never sitting still. 

Produce: Pretty much the same as grocery; you're stocking the shelves that customers take from. Although it can be more varied, and there's lots of interesting fruits and vegetables that I didn't even know existed. You can also learn the produce codes, which comes in handy at the till. 

Deli: You're cutting deli meat, making foodstuffs and chickens, etc. Very busy at times, dead other times when everything else is slow. Lots of duties that are expected of you, that you must complete before closing else you'll hear about it by the people working there the next day. 

Compensation is abysmal, there's no other way to put it. When I first started, I pushed myself - seeing how many carts I can push, how fast I can work and how well I can listen and learn - only to be insulted by a $0.05 raise, which I learned afterwards was the flat rate anyone made no matter what; no matter how good a worker they are. What you got is what you got; 5 cents of a raise every 500 hours. That was with the old contract, which was switched out early in 2018 to where it's at now which is 10 cents every 1,000 hours; who thinks of this stuff? Seriously. I feel awful for those who've been working here much longer than I have, that barely make anything more. It's slavery, if I'm honest. There's a lot expected of you: perfection, even, that the wage they pay just doesn't make sense. 

To summarize the job; if you're willing to work hard for an easy going and fun/friendly job, but at a wage that undercuts what you do, then you won't mind it. But if you feel valuable or that your time is valuable, go get an education and work towards something better. Good enough job for students or as a time-killer until you do something with your life, but a dead-end job if that's all you decide to do. 

Now, one thing I won't dismiss in my review, is that news spreads like wildfire in this store. People will talk behind your back, about little things you've done. I had an instance where I - through mistake as I would never do this intentionally - apparently had punched a tare of 200g on a salad instead of 20g in the deli (can't blame me however as the equipment there is never looked after and the scales' buttons unresponsive and worn), and one of the senior employees watched me and, instead of mentioning it on the spot and fixing the problem, went onto telling my co-workers about it and how I'm constantly under-pricing stuff. There's a lot more, but this review would become a small novel should I write it all down. 

Two out of the three portion scales in the deli are off by a considerable percentage, so you're probably being undercut if you buy certain things such as the 7-layer dips. I'm the one who found that out, since it seems like none of the other superior people there have the initiative to explore things like that. I mentioned it to one of the managers and he said to just tare it off at the amount that it's off, but I have yet to see if it's a constant or delta curve variable of inaccuracy. 

There's also a rumor going around the store that I've asked every co-worker about. Supposedly I drew a male reproductive organ on a steel pole in the back warehouse, even though I've never drawn such an organ anywhere on the premises. I would say about, 90% of the people I've asked so far have heard about the rumor, and I know for a fact that just two of the managers were the first to see such a thing. So, how did literally everyone in the store find out about it? So much for the "protecting confidentiality" and other privacy stuff that they preach about during the hiring process. There's a lot of hypocritical people there, who'll treat you as your friend while you're there but the second you turn - well, good luck to you.

I worked in the resource protection department of Save on Foods for 7 years, I started as an LPO with no security experience and received 2 promotions within 3 years of being there up to the level of regional supervisor of resource protection. In the Resource Protection department if you work hard, prove you are competent and put in the effort, there is absolutely room for advancement and they recognize talent and hard work. The majority of store managers and Resource Protection higher ups are genuinely good people that will care about you and appreciate the work the resource protection department does. Store level team members were amazing to work with and felt like family and were thankful for my security guards apprehending shoplifters, removing abusive customers, as well as walking them to their vehicles at closing. The numerous security guards and LPO I supervised all stated this was the best paying company they've worked security for and we had the best overall culture and they love their job, and I loved overseeing them and working in such a positive environment. I also fully believe the coaching I received from my 2017-2022 manager in resource protection while in my role as regional supervisor is the reason I was able to advance to my new career to law enforcement, he molded me from someone that had no supervisory/management experience and had minimal experience in a professional work environment to someone that was comfortable handling any situation. He also genuinely cared about me as a person and would call me to just talk about life and not solely about work which was a good change of pace. The positives of my time here made it one of the few jobs I've had where I didn't dread going back to work after the weekend. I made an extremely fair salary, got amazing raises for my extra effort, and my hard work felt absolutely noticed. The vacation time here is extremely fair as well for both hourly TM and salary supervisors/managers.

The only negatives and reasons I resigned from my position was as with most higher level positions in a retail environment, the work/life balance wasn't the greatest and my family, friends and spouse began finding it stressful. I would work my scheduled 8am-4pm then get multiple 10+ minute long phone calls most evenings and weekends on my off time requiring me to send out urgent time sensitive emails and reports at inconvenient times. These reports were often sent back from my new manager for extremely minor formatting errors that were never a problem with prior managers and it was extremely stressful having to make edits and resubmit them on my personal time outside of work. This was often interrupting family time at the park, movies, etc and my family was eventually vocal about the situation. I was required to have a company phone on and never silenced 24/7 incase of emergency which is 100% understandable in a higher up role in a department where urgent situations are common, but having me available 24/7 felt taken advantage of at times by a handful of people and I had TM waking me up calling me at 2:30 a.m with a poor excuse why they wouldn't be at work next day despite reiterating multiple times about how this situation should be an email and I shouldn't be woken up middle of the night. Some store managers would text 5+ messages in a row 7am  weekends or call often as early as 630am when they arrived to open the store waking me up to discuss something not even remotely urgent that could have been an email for Monday when I was back on duty, again I could reiterate when I was available and it never sunk in or got better and I felt like a 24/7 call centre. There were times store level management would wake me up 9:00 p.m. or 6:00 a.m. to discuss things that were reiterated multiple times that are not my department IE alarm system batteries. Those situations ontop of occasional mandatory travel away from family affected my work/life balance to the point where I ended up accepting a position with the police due to their 4 on/4 off schedule and no longer carrying a company cellphone leading to being fully be off work after my shift which took a lot of my stress away. I could now make plans on my time off without worrying about being glued to my work phone. The tough work-life balance some weeks and an abrupt change in management that started basically micromanaging myself that had high seniority making work suddenly more stressful are pretty much the only negative I experienced, some people are able to manage dealing with multiple phone calls and messages after hours and are all for it but after a few years I found it stressful and it wasn't meshing well with my home life anymore.

Overall as a whole, Save on Foods was one of the best employers I've ever had, I can't thank my management team, the team I managed and my co-workers enough for the support and good times we had over the years. I would definitely work in the resource protection department here again and I would have no issue whatsoever recommending someone to work here.

I cannot say this enough: This place is SO STRESSFUL. Worked here before and during Covid and ended up reporting company for failure to comply with health/ safety standards for the pandemic.
Let me point form sum up my experience:
-I was teased for my gender and sexuality.
-I was offered promotion only for it to be pulled away as a 'means of ferreting out gossips'.
-I was told I had to take my breaks but was given a work load that didn't allow them.
-I was forced to literally run half of my shifts due to poor scheduling leaving us under staffed.
-Managers rarely if ever stepped in to deal with harrassment, safety issues, health concerns, or scheduling issues. 
-Direct supervisor often pushed his responsibility onto others and barely trained anyone (myself included).
-I was forced to train newcomers despite not being fully trained myself; supervisor and managers claimed they weren't fully trained either or said they were too busy too help OR claimed the newcomers were 'already trained'.
-PPE wasn't provided and therefore had to be forced out of them by OHS when I was there.
-I was contacted almost daily when offshift to come fill in. Many others were too.
-Pests aren't properly dealt with: The entire time I worked at my location there were wild birds in the store that ate the produce; the company had people come in to try and SHOOT THEM while we were working the night shift. There was no covering on the product in the event they hit the birds so had they been successful there would have surely been bird 'matter' on the food for sale. We also had to work while not knowing if we were going to have a stray, falling bullet/ bird shot pellet hit us or have a dead bird fall on us. These birds were STILL THERE when I was forced to go on stress leave by my psychiatrist.
-Coworkers have claimed to be assaulted by contracted staff only for the offender to be permitted to continue working. 
-Problem employees were NEVER fired while I was there no matter how egregious their offense.
-The work load is unrealistic yet management makes no effort to deal with it; they take the 'just deal with it and survive the shift' approach.
-Alarms routinely were tripped; almost no one knew what to do about them.
-I was actively harrassed by a coworker over an order error; management did nothing about it when I reported it.
-Despite lacking training I was often left alone on shift to manage everything by myself; any mistakes I made were rudely brought to my attention and I was made to feel stupid about it.
-Absolutely nothing was done to deal with customers that mistreated emplyees so long as it was strictly verbal/ written abuse.
-Equipment was almost never properly cleaned or maintained.
-During the beginning of the pandemic the bathrooms for customers were closed to us and there were several times where employee washrooms were simultaneously unavailable due to janitorial staff being told to wax the floors or do lengthy upkeep. This ammounted to shifts where no obe could access a washroom for up to four hours.
-Expired, rotten and damaged stock was not only often left out, it was often just flipped over and left on the shelf until I, or someone else happened upon it and removed it.
-Suggestions to improve things, despite being allegedly encouraged, were NEVER taken.
I could literally go on for hours about other issues I had but I'll stop there.
-Allegedly the managers practice intentionally stressing employees by cutting hours once a month to create the illusion of scarcity to force them to work harder when they get their hours back. While I can't confirm for certain, I CAN say that there was always a routine shortage of hours every few months that resulted in cut hours despite the store still being busy.
-I fell ill shortly after the pandemic hit. I couldn't access a covid test and was horribly sick for 42 days. I recieved no work comp of any sort and was actually given a very rude, accusatory call by head iffice insinuating that I was faking it to get EI money. It took me threatening to call Alberta Health, the people who actually quarantined me, for them to change their tone. I was sick enough that hospitalization was highly considered despite the risk and all I got was a nasty phonecall from head office and a weekly phobe check in by one of my managers to see when I could come back.
DO NOT WORK HERE unless you're absolutely certain it's worth it to you. Mayfield Common Save On Foods, the location I worked at, is toxic, unclean, stressful, and horribly HORRIBLY managed. I was humiliated, harrassed, taken advantage of and stressed to the point of mental breakdown so severe that I was put on a several month long, mandated stress leave by my psychiatrist. Your wellbeing isn't worth the $15-$17 bucks an hour that you'll be paid and the benefits they claim to have are actually incredibly hard to access.
Do yourself a huge favor and look elsewhere.

Read it all. Be your own judge 

Okay. First off. The schedule. Everyone wants to know is hours.  So you start at the bottom of the food chain. Yep. You get whatever hours are available after everyone who was hired before you. Gets the hours maxed out based on their availability. 

For example if someone is available 16 and 24 hrs. Those two people would get 16/24 before you’d get your 16. 

Which is fine…. Except for the next part. The schedule is rolling. 

So. Like. If one week you worked Sunday to Thursday. Next week you’d work Monday to Friday. Then Tuesday to Saturday. Then Wednesday to Sunday. Then Thursday to Monday.  You get the idea. 

Well. On night shift they don’t follow this rule. You get scheduled just whenever.  For those of us “as this is not a full time position” you get to work every Sunday Monday Friday Saturday. So if you have anything happening in your own life. You can’t even count on getting any days off that you needed. 

For me? I requested a two week period. As I had some things happening. Leading to a lot of stress.  So. Just asked for Friday Saturday Sundays for two weeks. None of the FRIDAY TO MONDAY which is what I had been on. It was just two weeks. Schedule lady approved it. Got it on email. Etc.  And then what you know. Manager calls one morning saying I no showed.  Explained we said. Friday. Saturday. Sunday. 

He says well that’s Thursday night to Friday morning. Friday night to Saturday morning. And Saturday night to Sunday morning. 
The problem here is day shift managers are backwards in their speech regarding talking about the schedule. Night shift people say it like it is. Friday Saturday sunday.  Means you come IN FRIDAY NIGHT.  Not come in Thursday night. 

The rules work when it works for them.  They are supposed to rotate the schedule. So no one gets special treatment. But my team. Some can only work certain days. And everyone is like that.  So you’re new. We put you anywhere no one wants to work. Why is it okay?? That they can only work Tuesday Wednesday. But you can’t ask for Friday to Sunday. For just two weeks? 

Commute is a tricky thing. You get off before the sun comes up 6 am. Nice right.  But yeah hahah there is no transit so don’t get so excited just yet.  It will cost you $20-30 in cab fare if you work a Saturday night. (And so yeah. Being put on the same weekend every week is unfair. Isn’t it. When trains starts at 7:30 am). 

The work itself is great.  The colleagues are amazing. Everyone is nice. But they have no respect for you having a life it’s ME ME ME ME ME that’s what it comes down to

Be “full time available” but you don’t get full time hours. You get 3-5 shifts. And you can’t plan anything cuz although schedules come out 2-4 weeks in advance they can change and they expect “you” to see emails that says they changed your schedule and it’s your job to know it’s changed. Which is somewhat ridiculous.  

The pay is okay but a little cheap. Graveyard. You start 10:30 pm but they don’t pay you graveyard pay until midnight and through to 6 am.   So that tiny $2/hr extra for 1.5 hrs. Seems cheap. To be unwilling to give us that few bucks a night more. All things considered. 

My location word has it they can’t retain.  Everyone quits. Heck some quit after one shift. Now I know why.  I wouldn’t of left this job. But I really did need the weekdays off for just two weeks to address some things in my day shift job. But this company has proven they are a little too tight in the knickers for my taste. Free fruit and coffee was nice though. But hahaha my day shift job offers it too so no loss there.

For starters, I will say that it is a stable-ish job that gives you a steady, weekly paycheck and a variety of locations to work at. You do learn a little bit more in the security industry in terms of how to deal with certain types of situations and what you're looking for in loss prevention. That is the bright side of working In-House security. Unfortunately, management will only further train and advance people of whom they favor and not base it on seniority and merits. On that note, management will peddle to you about opportunities are coming from within the company and the department of resource protection, but only give it to people from Vancouver area that are close to the head office side(hence why favoritism). Training (from what I recommend) should be done and completed by you personally. The reason I would mention that particularly is I was in the company for 3 1/2 years and was told that AST was coming, but company kept on changing its mind in terms of sending people on the course the last minute. In others, I didn't get the training or tools I needed to do the job. The most difficult part of the being in the company as security is the lack of support for you and the work that you're doing. Whether that is by management, store staff or police. Often times than not, you're keeping your guard up at all times while at work, and it's not pleasant for anybody. 
Workplace culture at Save On Foods is impossible to find positivity and is toxic, even at the best of times. You're given unrealistic expectations of doing a difficult job of preventing theft and mischief, with little respect shown to you. In other words, do not be surprised about the two-faced nature of people who work there. 
Of all the managers that I dealt with or encountered at the time of my employment, the regional director of the department (initialed MC) was a very honorable man to deal with, especially when he showed me the kindness of doing my exit interview. As for the rest of the others, unfortunately, one will find that even if you disagree with them on facts/principles/etc. you'll find them to be less than kind and reasonable to you. Especially when one gets threatened with insubordination write ups. In other words, be very careful of what you tell them. 
In closing, you'll find this job of being in Resource protection to be an almost great beginning but falls short of being a promising career. I would advise those wishing to enter resource protection to be cautious that this as well as the security industry itself is not a desirable place to be forever. Management are left to be desired in terms of how they manage/lead their troops, especially train them. In lay man's terms, folks! Be careful, and protect yourself when/if you are in this company.

are you looking for a workplace that will not only give you some new friends but also stress you out until you want to cry? then this is the job for you! it's not the fact that the work is particularly difficult, nor is it the pace of things. the issue lies within the management and organization of the workplace. it feels as if you don't really matter to the higher ups and in my experience people really don't matter to them. they will be nice to you but you can't be surprised when they throw you out. i was hired and i was told i would be perfect for my job. i was excited about this! this was my first job and i did what i was told and worked to the best of my abilities. this was not enough. at the end of my 'probation' period or whatever it's called i was ''let go''. i was not told a proper, professional reason for this. i was told that it was like 'trying to fit a square peg in a circular hole' and then i was offered to finish the online order i was completing at the time i was called into the office. even worse i was told that i could try again in six months time. the work is simple really, just follow the instructions and you should get by just fine. the difficult part about this job is the constant on-edge-ness you have to feel when around people who start drama with each other or when you see people you were hired with being let go. i had probably 1 good shift in the 3 months i worked there (i worked around 4 shifts a week usually, three 4hr shifts and one 8hr shift) and the only reason it was good was because i had co workers i knew  there. a job should leave you feeling good, and i wish it could have done that for me because i really didn't mind working there. i enjoyed the time i was working, but it's when work brings stress home is the issue. my paycheck was all screwed up, i'd have to pick up a physical one instead of them just using my direct deposit that i gave them because that was messed up and for the last month of my job no one fixed it. i had to cancel a shift last minute and i called 2 hours early as i was instructed to (i had a therapy appointment) and the manager i spoke to asked if i could just have the appointment while on my break. i was enraged. i felt as if i didn't have any critique on my work too, a lot of the feedback you'll get is praise, and this stands you up for surprise when they let you go. i was shocked and i felt humiliated. i was let go in the middle of my shift and had to leave the store while crying. i WISH i could say nice things about this store, i WISH i could say kind things and suggest this as a job but i just can't. this was my first job and now i have to get another and i fear it will be just like this one. if  you're an adult this job may work for you but i don't suggest this as your first job. 

People's experience with Save-On can vary widely from store to store, but a few things remain consistent: 

The pay sucks - despite being unionized, you will make minimum wage when they hire you, and the regular raises (10 cents every 520hrs) aren't going to do much to change that.

The work is hard - whether its the endless hours of stocking shelves, unloading pallets, or anything else, you'll be working hard from the moment you punch in to the moment you punch out. I'd say it's not as bad as construction, but at least that pays well.

Workers that were hired pre 1997 are a class unto themselves - Due to a less than successful strike in the late 90s, the workers at Save On are divided between "grid A" and "grid B". A has good benefits meaningful wage increases, and a union that takes good care of them. B tend to last less than two months before quitting, they have nothing of note. The union cut a deal to split their workers in two, if you were hired before 1997 (with some exceptions) good for you! If not you're in for a bad time, for bad pay.

Benefits - Probation is 3 months, benefits kick in after one year, of the 16 people I was hired with, 1 aside from myself lasted long enough to be eligible... Good luck though.

Work Life Balance - Schedules are posted two weeks in advance, and are always a nightmare. You'd rather not close one night and open the next morning? Too bad. You'd like to have consecutive days off so you can feel like you have a weekend? Too bad. You'd like to work the same days every week so you can plan things beyond two weeks ahead? Too bad. I could go on, but its just more of the same. Don't work here if you want to do much of anything in your time off.

I'd love to comment on management, but I only experienced two managers in my time there, and they were more or less what you'd expect. One was a hard working fellow with little in the way of compassion for his workers, and the other was cartoonishly narcissistic. Both were more than happy to oversee the underpaid overworked masses under them with a smile on their faces.

In Summary - If you absolutely must have an income for a short duration while you look for something else, you might be alright working part time. Full time is going to leave you tired enough not to want to job search on your days off, but you mileage may vary. 

I worked there for 366 days exactly, its been a year and five months since I left and I still feel hopeless thinking about my time there. You can almost certainly do better than working here, as it would be hard to do worse.

Overall, it's a very good job, and the company definitely does NOT reward good honest hard work. You get raises every 1040 hours worked, but it's only by about 15 cents per hour. Pay starts at $16.75 and tops out at $21.00 after you've been there for several years. 

Union is absolutely garbage. Normally, I'm all for unions, and I believe unions play an important part in fighting for and preserving workers' rights. All UFCW 1518 is take money out of your paycheck. Funny thing, we just came out of bargaining. The best the union could offer was NO pay increase to neither the starting wage nor the top wage cap for general clerks, but rather simply decrease the amount of wage increases needed to get to the top rate. Supervisors, as far as I'm aware of, did not really get an increase either. The only improvement is that they're now paid OT. Same for department managers iirc. The only employees that benefitted from this round of bargaining were the pharmacy techs. They got a nice wage increase.

As for the work itself, it's alright. As I've said before, hard work is rewarded with more work. Plenty of drama and gossip that goes around, especially in my department. Dealing with unruly customers are just part of the job. And you have to deal with them with a smile. Work/life balance is not very good. You have to be available for at LEAST one weekend day (Saturday or Sunday), and in the beginning, you are handed all the bad shifts, such as the closing shifts and 4 hour shifts.

Management is pretty good, at least the store I'm at. They're understanding and friendly. However, they hate approving OT. The company is way too cheap to pay OT to employees. They'd rather be shortstaffed and stretch the work capacity of the team members that are already there, putting undue strain and stress on the employees there. Coworkers I work with are pretty cool people, though.

Overall, I wouldn't recommend working for Save-on-Foods. Lower-level management are very nice, and I do get the sense that they care about the employees, but it's VERY clear that upper management down at HQ couldn't give a hoot about the employees below them. Pay is bad, benefits are bad, union is bad, work culture is alright, lower level management is chill, upper management couldn't care less about the well-being of the employees below them

I am currently an E-Commerce employee at Save On. My job consisted of taking online orders, shopping for the customers, and taking the orders out to the parking lot or ensuring they were delivered. Independent job, but at our location it sometimes can be dull when there's not much to do, or crazy when there's too much to do and not enough staff members to do it.

I have honestly mixed feelings on this job, especially because the department is horrendously understaffed, which has meant that multiple times I've had to pull nightmare shifts because there simply weren't enough people to get the job done, and twice when I tried to call in sick the answer that I got was "You can't do that, there's nobody else here to do your job".  Several times, when there were many orders and no other staff members, I worked through all of my breaks (even though that's illegal). I wasn't forced to, but if I took even one break than I would have fallen even more behind, and even when I didn't take any breaks I was there from 6 am to 4:30 PM, one day. When the supervisor finally got there at three, he asked me to stay and work even longer and I reluctantly agreed.

When I told my other supervisor about these insane shifts, she laughed and told me that another coworker had to do the same thing a few days prior. In other words, they're bending the rules at best and breaking the law at worst.

The coworkers in most of the store as amiable, there's a decent break room, but the employees don't receive any discounts. Instead, we get three times the Save On Foods points (useless to me, but apparently other staff members have gotten great benefits from it). The independence is good, you get to move around, but there's too much time to goof off. I learned basic retail and customer service skills while working there, but the amount of work that they expect out of us sometimes is absolutely unreasonable.

TLDR: Good job for students, the hours are terrible and sometimes the supervisors expect an unreasonable amount of work from us resulting in ten hour shifts. Minimum wage. Fast turnover rate. Freedom and low supervision. Very little training. Don't expect to work there for more than a few months. Easy to get hired, I was hired on the spot. Be aware of boring shifts and absolutely crazy shifts.

I recently worked as a cashier at Save on Foods, and overall, my experience was average. While there were some positive aspects to the job, there were also a few areas that left room for improvement.

Firstly, I appreciated the friendly and supportive work environment. The team members and managers were generally approachable and willing to help whenever I had questions or needed assistance. It created a pleasant atmosphere, which made coming to work more enjoyable.

The training provided by the company was decent. I received adequate instruction on operating the cash register and handling customer transactions efficiently. I also appreciated the emphasis on good customer service, as it allowed me to engage with customers and make their shopping experience more pleasant.

However, there were a few downsides to the job. One area that could be improved is the scheduling system. There were times when the schedule was not communicated in a timely manner, resulting in confusion and last-minute changes. This made it challenging to plan personal activities and manage work-life balance effectively.

Another aspect that could use improvement is the workload distribution. During peak hours, the number of customers could be overwhelming, leading to long queues and increased stress. It would be beneficial if the company implemented strategies to ensure that adequate staffing levels were maintained during busy periods.

Additionally, the pay rate for cashiers at Save on Food was average compared to other similar positions. While it was not exceptionally low, it would be nice to see a more competitive compensation package to recognize the efforts of the cashiers who play a crucial role in the store's daily operations.

In conclusion, my experience as a cashier at Save on Food was average. The supportive work environment, decent training, and focus on customer service were positive aspects. However, the scheduling system, workload distribution during peak hours, and average pay rate were areas that could use improvement. With some adjustments, this job could become more rewarding for cashiers and enhance the overall experience at Save on Food.
