Does anyone here work for Albertsons? If so, do you get a employee discount?

I used to work for them. I worked in Osco, actually. I got a discount but I can't remember for how much. I think it was 25% off?

Apple do! Just put in your college/institution and then you get some kind of discount - not sure how much though. Its available on most if not all of their products.

Hi, like you I found myself suddenly unemployed a couple of weeks ago. I applied to Boots for a part-time job up until xmas (it's only 7 weeks)-mind you, I have worked there before, so it wasn't too difficult. Most of your local stores will need temporary staff, and don't forget you'll get staff discount which will help. I think you can work up to 16 hours and still get benefits. It's a difficult time to look for a permanent job, but I wish you lots of luck, and hope you still have a good xmas! :)

It does sound like you are missing the end of the sentence, the most likely answer is for under a certain $ amount, the staff gets a discounted rate for lunch.\nI hope that helps! :)\nClark

I worked at wendys this time last year for some extra cash when the kids were in bed and hubby was done with work. We had this really nice lady from ehtiopia working there ( her 3rd job no less ) she asked this guy if he wanted a combo ( was cheaper ) he yelled, DID I SAY I wanted a combo ? He kept yelling and I was over in the drive thru and I heard him and went over there ( the manager was doing something else of course )\n I was like sir is there a problem. He starts raving like I didnt say I wanted a combo and on and on ( the dining room was packed! )\n Finally after about 1 minute or 2, he stopped yelling and said "What do you think about that ? "\n I politely smiled at him and said, " dang mr, if this food wont give yiou a heart attack your ugly attitude will."\nEVeryone in line started laughing, hes screaming he wants my manager and my name, I said my name was juanita( it isnt,,lol )\n The manager came over and said sir we don't want your business and please leave. \n He called and made a big stink but you know what, that ethiopan woman was JUST DOING what she was trained to do. As my pastor says, some people have to act like that cause its the only power they have in their life.\n\n I gave my friend a hug and told her to chin up cause she was really upset.

Organizations need promotion policies to provide incentives to employees to work hard in hopes that they can rise through the ranks. If they don't have such a policy and instead hire management from the outside, it can create bitterness among long-time employees who have worked hard. This has happened recently at my company--rather than take a chance on giving a salesman a promotion to assistant manager, they hired someone from another city to come in. It's worked out so far, but not without some hurt egos!

Hey Jewel,\nI am a dentist and if a person pays for the service in full on the same day I render it I will give them an 8% discount (Only 4% with a credit card as I have to pay the 3-4% for credit cards used in my office).  I don't do this for insurance patients because I have to collect the insurance payment directly from the insurance company and that takes a couple of weeks so I don't receive payment the same day.  One person suggested Care Credit for financing treatment and that it a great suggestion. I don't work with Care Credit but I work with the Dental Fee Plan through Capital One which is very similar and I'm sure your dentist has some institution he or she works with- just ask them.  I don't consider it tacky when a patient asks for a discount as long as they do it tactfully.  Just say something like "Do you have a discount for cash patients?"  Believe me cash patients are my favorite patients. Insurance companies are a pain in the butt to deal with and I have to take a discount when working with them, so I sure don't mind to do it for my cash paying patients. BUT...I DON'T GIVE THEM A CASH DISOUNT UNLESS THEY ASK FOR IT.\nDr. R.

Is this a weekly thing or a one time deal? I would say $5 per hour for a one time deal and minimum wage if you're going to employ them permanently.

I've worked for target for 5 years, gotten promoted twice, and love it.  The processes are easy to pick up, the registers practically tell you what to do.  With a motto of 'fast, fun, and friendly' target prides themselves on having teams that are friendly and helpful so you just go into a postive atmosphere every day.  The ten percent discount doesn't hurt, either!  They really work around your schedule.  Good luck!

Good- MAJOR employer, good wages, good diversity hiring policy for minorities, American success story, great low prices, open 24 hrs, one stop shopping. Very respectable employee discount.\n\nBad- recently sued by ppl trying to keep them from gobbling up and destroying their neighborhoods by their saturation scheme of "wal-marts everywhere". Recently sued by women as a class-action suit for their "glass ceiling" of limited advancement and lower wages compared to males in exact same jobs. \nThey throw away books, by tearing off the covers, turning the covers in as "remainders" for credit from the publishers, and just throwing away the bodies of the books.\nThe throw away more in a single day than most people could eat or use in a lifetime. \nTheir price "rollbacks" are hiding the costs by moving them around- raising prices on some items to reduce them on others.\nThey micromanage- having too many assistant managers, dept managers, etc. In some cases 2 different managers will tell you to do opposite things. "manager" is a title thrown around that has little meaning, it's purpose is to get employees to care about their job, but they don't really have any voice or say in it.\nPromised bonus of $200 for making an inventory goal was reduced to $93.15 by the time it reached employee hands.\n\nUGLY- the Waltons (owners) are among the top 20 richest people in the United States, making the Forbes Richie list every year. And they've left Sam Walton's dream far behind.\n\nThey are now using their own TV channel for advertising, to bombard shoppers WHO ARE ALREADY IN THE STORE with constant ads. \nWal-Mart has gone corporate in the worst way, and moved from caring about the American Worker to exploiting the American consumer. They say "no one puts a gun to your head and forces you to shop there." But what would you call it if a major chain like Wal-Mart can move into an area and run all the mom-&-pop operations out of business because they can't compete with the juggernaut?\n\nWalmart is the American Dream turned dark, ugly, and sour.

I have been a cashier in a supermarket, a clothing store, and at a coffee shop. By far the most evil of customers tends to be at the supermarkets. \nI will say that people tend to be impatient (especially here in the Northeast), and they do not understand the problems that can occur while making a transaction. However, since cashiering tends to be minimum wage, the quality of employees are hires are worthless, and sometimes they deserve to get yelled at.\nI recently starting working at a coffee shop again, and a customer yelled at one of my co-workers, stating for her to "hurry the fuck up, I'm late for work". Like it was our fault for her being late.

Sorry, I don't have any employment answers. I use to bank with them. It's a great bank. They're in a bunch of wal-marts, they have an atm at UofH central, they're even in dallas, they have 24hr locations also. \n\nThe best info about the company is on the website though. Sorry i couldn't help more. Do you live in NorthShore? I use to stay in Woodforest.

Amazing question.....easy answer.....no matter what you convey to the prospective employer..they see that ONE BLOCK and won't even consider you...even if they say they will.\n\nMy experience is this!  I was a manager of a store and cooked the books.  I paid a HORRIBLE price.....lost my house, car, husband and kids. DO YOU THINK FOR A MINUTE I would subject myself to that again.\n\nI would be the most complete employee any company could hope to have....given the chance.  As a matter of fact...put in the same situation, I could probably point out every employee who is currently LOOTING!\n\nI feel you, I just wanted to say that.

I once had an employee give me coffee for a month.\n\nEvery day she worked she'd run down to to coffee place and bring me a cup (she only worked a couple days a week so it didn't cost a fortune).\n\nShe knew I liked coffee and that was the key...it impressed me that she did something I really enjoyed.\n\n\nOther great gifts over the years include: \nHomemade anything..a tin of cookies etc.\nFruit basket (Some don't like these..I LOVE them)\nA replacement for my desk calendar\nGift certificate to the Aqua massage place down the mall from us.\n\nI've done some of these things for my boss too (we all have a boss). Ive also done gift card to a favorite restaurant,\nDinner prepared at my home\nDone a really boring/hated part of their job for them for a period\nAnd once had my boss' name put up in lights on the Mall sign

Yes. Phone up Apple and they give you discount I think it's about 8% or something, I bought mine about a year ago, if you try to do it on the website you have to do it froma computer that is online or linked to the univeristy system for it to work. I called them and they asked for my university and my NUS number. The number to call is on the apple website hope this helps!

Yes. As a recently former associate. The are screwing over all of their long term employees so they can get them to quit. They want to hire all part timers and pay them minimum wage. I used to back the company 100%. Not anymore.
