Anyone else have Optimus showing up to stock shelves? A third party or the new face of Amazon -Whole Foods?

those ppl are there just to merchandize certain products.
It eliminates a bunch of jobs. No WFM stockers. That’s the difference. 😂
How does this differ from odwalla, hummus, and soda vendors? Does optimus stock whole foods products?
I've seen them in my store in the NE. I'm surprised more of you aren't concerned. What else will be given to third parties?
when i was a grocery TL i would have killed to have a third party stocker. throwing freight s---s and it's hard to find anyone really good at it!
“Optimus Prime” X•D LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL
The store doesn’t have any liability, the third party company is responsible. If the third party company doesn’t do a good job they can be replaced with a different company, however it would be up to the dept managers to keep track of whether the temp employees are doing a good job. I think everyone can be replaced with third party employees except store and dept managers.
Haven't seen this practice in NA. I'm assuming this happens only in stores with night crews. Isn't there more liability with third parties since they tend to be lower paid and generally do not give a sh--. Resets have been a good recent example of third party incompetence.
Didn't say or imply I was special! Just very worried smartass!
All of them. You’re not special.
How many positions/departments do you all think they are going to source out?
SAS is the company being used in SP
Makes good business sense. Not responsible for benefits and 1099 at end of year. Money saver!!! Amazon is on the move with changes. Mackey doesn’t care he’s set for life. That is what he said.
Optimus prime ?
