I work at Meijer store lafayette in food clerk position. I'm half-time associate but have been scheduled for fulltime recently. When I asked for the reason, My manager told me they are having a hard time hiring people. He said they hired 8 people for the cashier position and no one showed up after that. In the previous batch of hiring for produce department, I have noticed that they cannot retain anybody aside from transfer associates from other departments. There were times, when they hire a batch of newbie only half retain, other don't even show up on the first day. The responsibilities are by no means difficult to follow. Paid raid is also around 10 bucks. What people are doing out there? Is it too easy to find a job these days? I'm a little bit puzzling with their behavior. Especially, every day I came back from my job, not too far from the store entrance, I always see a guy holding sign said " jobless, spare some money to me. God bless you."
