If you have self respect don’t work here. - Courtesy Clerk Food 4 Less Employee Review

Would definitely not recommend working here. I’ll admit I only worked here a day, it was the orientation/training day. So I admit I don’t have the best grasp on what it’s like to work here. But a day was all I needed to realize that I needed to run. While I was being trained, they said their motto was “no one gets off of work on time, no one goes to lunch on time, no one goes to break on time”. Sounds like a VERY healthy work environment to me. The lady who trained me was extremely disrespectful and entitled, and also criticized me and my co-trainee’s every move when were….wait for it….sweeping the floor. That’s all we were doing, just sweeping, and yet she critiqued every little thing in an extremely mean and disrespectful tone. She even critiqued the way I was holding the sweeper, saying I was holding it “too high up” and moved my hand down no more than like 2 inches to “correct me”. And that had literally no effect on how efficient I was able to sweep. She also got mad at me for not using the right “technique” when sweeping, even though it was literally my TRAINING day and the whole point was that I didn’t know how to do anything yet. The whole point she was even there was to train me how to do it, yet she somehow expected me to just know? I can tell she simply thought me and my co-trainee were ignorant and offered us little respect because we were young. She was an older lady. She treated us like some ignorant children instead of co-workers. I realize she probably hates her life because she works at food for less for a living, but that’s still not an excuse to treat a person you’re training that way. The store is also extremely dirty and cleaning the bathrooms is disgusting. The men’s bathroom consistently smelled horrid whenever I went into there, and we weren’t even offered any masks, or anything to spray in there to help alleviate the smell. When I was in there, in the big stall some guy left a bunch of pieces toilet paper with his feces on it all over the floor and didn’t flush either. And in the position I was being trained for, you’re supposed to clean the bathrooms hourly. Nahhhh I’m good. You need a hazmat squad to do that, not some part time courtesy clerk making minimum wage. Yeah, don’t work here. I get that it’s retail, so I should have expected the staff to have terrible, unprofessional attitudes and whatnot, but the bathroom situation? Nah, go find a job where you at least don’t have to do that.
