I just complained about a grocery store employee who was rude to me

[Anonymous]

And it felt damn good and cathartic. I've never done that to anyone who is working minimum wage before, but this person was so egregious, so I went on the website and followed the "give feedback" instructions.

Feels great!

What did they do?

Congratulations? I don't think you should feel bad necessarily but this feels like a weird thing to pat yourself on the back about

I spoke with a manager at Whole Foods today about an employee in the butcher section who did not know what the number on the scale should say when I told him "one third of a pound". He got the scale saying .74 and when I said "Oh, you're going in the opposite direction - it's one third, not three fourths" he STILL didn't know.

I told the manager maybe they could put a chart on each scale that has a chart for how to translate what people say to what the scale should say. Embarrassingly, the manager said "I recognize you - you've said this to me before." I didn't remember that and just said "Oh, well, it's still an issue."

I did it online because in the past when I have tried to compliment/recommend an employee, the manager implored me to go online and do it that way. He said he would write it down, but it will have way more impact if you do it online, because it goes to corporate. So, it's a way bigger deal for the employee, both good and bad.

You would think, after multiple complaints of this sort, they would have figured out a way to make it happen. It's not exactly a difficult request!

Don't be difficult, just buy half a pound! Jeez!

BTW, I am OP and this was not me.

+1. The manager is the one who should be embarrassed that WF still hasn't solved this problem, which seems easy enough to do.

You're such a giant asshole. I hope the soon to be fired employee ends up stalking you and your kids.

I don't agree on the stalking bit but OP is an a$$. Does it make you feel good to destroy someone so powerless? Have some empathy.

^NP. Dramatic much? I doubt the employee will be fired just because of OP's one complaint. Probably it will be placed on their employment record at the store- and if they get a certain number of complaints, maybe 3, maybe several more, then they will be terminated. At least, that's how I imagine these things work.

PP-- take a look in the mirror. What OP did is perfectly reasonable. What you have wished upon the OP is shameful.

You are literally making things up based on how they would operate if you ran a grocery store, which you most likely do not.
