Stop&Shop, as you may or may not know, is a supermarket. I have been employed with the company since June 27th of 2000. When I first started working for them, I was a bagger and a cart pusher (Carriage Retrieval Engineer). I did that job for about a year and a half. A manager I was working with at the time, decided he wanted me to be in grocery. I flat out said no. He asked what I wanted to do, and I said bakery. So, I went directly to the bakery without learning the register. No big deal. After I had been in the bakery department for, a couple of years, a new store opened. I transfered to the new store, and started right in the bakery. After being there for just over 2 years or so,they decided they were going to train me for the register, "in case it got busy". Well, after doing that for about a month, they approached me with the opportunity for a promotion. They needed another CDH (Cash Department Head [Certified Dick Holder]), because one was leaving for maternity leave. So I took the position. Now, I no longer work in the bakery department, and am back on the front end, right where I started. Let's just say, the 25cent raise, is well, not worth the headache. CDH, has actually been labeled as "the most stressful job in the company". Even by the higher ups. They say the same thing.I have to say, after what is currently, 8 1/2 years of working for them, it has it's perks. My benefits are great. Free health care, free dental. 3 weeks payed vacation. A lot of holiday pay. I've made some great friends over the years.
There are far too many stories that have no yet been recorded, and that is my plans with this blog.
