I just started my first day at a Kroger fulfillment center and it seems like a pretty sweet gig. I’ll be a customer service delivery driver, it sounded appealing because I did Instacart a few years ago and really enjoyed it. How do you like working at a fulfillment center? Other delivery drivers, how’s the job?

Hi ShopifyeCommerce - I'm Paul and I follow the e-commerce industry closely for my Shopifreaks E-commerce Newsletter. Each week I post a summary recap of this week's top stories, which I cover in depth in the newsletter. .

1. STAT OF THE WEEK: Apple's App Store ecosystem generated $1.1 trillion in revenue in 2022. 90% was commission-free and the remainder Apple took a 15% to 30% commission. This $1.1 trillion breaks down as $910 billion in total billings and sales from the sale of physical goods and services, $109 billion from in-app advertising and $104 billion for digital goods and services. .
2. Shopify officially launched Shop Cash, its rewards program that earns shoppers 1% cashback on purchases made using the Shop Pay payment method. After a purchase, shoppers will see their Shop Cash rewards balance appear in their Shop App. The rewards are redeemable for future purchases within Shop App, currently just for customers and stores in the U.S. Shop Cash redemption is not limited to JUST the store that a customer purchased from. The rewards are tied to the payment method (Shop Pay), not to the store itself, and can be used on any U.S. store within the Shopify ecosystem. .
3. Last week Reddit announced a significant increase to its API pricing, which will inevitably put most 3rd party apps out of business. Other apps affected by the pricing change include Reddit is Fun (my personal favorite), Relay for Reddit, Bacon Reader, and more. Additionally, under the new API rules, developers of third-party clients won’t be able to earn money from ads or be able to show NSFW content within their apps. Their only option for monetization will be to hope that users are willing to pay a monthly subscription to their app, despite not getting access to some of Reddit's content. Moderators wrote an open letter to Reddit management, urging them to reconsider the recent API pricing change, which has been signed by thousands of users and moderators and shared across hundreds of subreddits. Many subreddits are planning to go dark on June 12th for 48 hours or longer (some permanently) to protest the policy — which means turning their subreddit private and not making its content available to the public. .
4. Walmart announced its initiatives to reduce its use of plastic in its online business and reduce waste, plans which include replacing nearly all its plastic mailers with paper mailers, "rightsizing" its cardboard box packaging to reduce packing waste, giving customers the ability to request consolidation of multiple items into fewer boxes, and later this year giving customers the ability to opt-out of single use plastic bags used in online pick-up orders across the U.S. Amazon has offered similar shipment consolidation features for quite some time, including allowing users choose an Amazon Day, where members pick a day of the week to have all their items delivered at once. .
5. Amazon is making a big change at its warehouses to ensure that customers receive products in good condition. The company will soon begin employing AI to check items before they are shipped to ensure that they are of good quality before leaving the facility. The AI inspection happens during the picking and packing stage. As items are selected and put into bins for orders, they go through an imaging station where they are checked for accuracy. If an item is flagged as damaged, a human worker takes a closer look. Otherwise, it moves on to the packing stage and gets shipped to the customer. The AI system is reportedly three times better than a human worker at identifying damaged items, and it never has to use the bathroom. .
6. India's Open Network for Digital Commerce (ONDC) has expanded to facilitate B2B transactions. The B2B transactions on ONDC are being powered by tech startups SignCatch, a SaaS payments startup, and Rapidor, a business automation platform, which have jointly enabled both the B2B buyer and seller side platforms on the network, allowing interoperability between both sides The ONDC team said it has other startups in the pipeline for its B2B expansion, including the rural fintech company Spice Money. .
7. Shopify is facing a $130M class-action lawsuit over severance offered to recently laid off staff. The lawsuit alleges that some Shopify employees laid off at the start of May were presented with departure packages outlining hefty severance sums they were entitled to if they signed the agreement within a few days. However once workers signed the agreements, Shopify changed the terms and the employees were given substantially smaller sums. .
8. Twitter is also being sued by former employees — this time by former janitors from its New York City offices. The suit alleges that Twitter violated city law when janitors were abruptly fired in December after the Elon Musk takeover, violating the Displaced Building Service Workers Protection Act by failing to retain the janitors after terminating the contract. The lawsuit is seeking hundreds of thousands of dollars in back wages for the former workers. .
9. Amazon, along with four other companies selected, built a prototype for the digital euro's application in e-commerce payments, after the ECB called on front-end providers in the EU payment market to contribute ideas and build applications. Amazon is also optimistic about the project and welcomes the introduction of the digital euro. The company said, “We at Amazon believe a digital euro can be a tool to foster innovation and increase the efficiency of payments.” The European Commission is due to publish a bill in June that covers digital euro privacy safeguards and other major issues. .
10. ShipStation released a study that reveals the factors that deter e-commerce customers. The “Exploring the Nuances in E-Commerce” guide includes a survey of over 3,000 customers and 600 online merchants across six markets, and examines the deterrents of consumer loyalty in e-commerce. 90% of Australian consumers state that a lack of suitable delivery options can influence whether they abandon their cart at the online checkout. 30% indicate they will often or always abandon their cart if their desired delivery option is not offered. However merchants seem to be ignorant to the above stats. 38% of Australian merchants believe a lack of delivery options offered at the checkout ‘never’ prevents consumers from finalizing their purchase. >
11. Etsy announced an update to its listing process for sellers to add new listings or edit existing ones. With the new listings form, sellers can navigate sections faster and more efficiently, access the new performance tab to see performance data and reviews for the listing, and keep track of edits via a change summary in the footer. .
12. Last week approximately 2,000 Amazon employees staged a walkout to protest Amazon corporate's decision to bring employees back into the office, and Amazon couldn't have cared less. Company spokesperson Brad Glasser told Fortune, that since the return-to-office mandate went into effect “there’s more energy, collaboration, and connections happening, and we’ve heard this from lots of employees and the businesses that surround our offices.” .
13. A husband-and-wife team of eBay sellers put bubble wrap companies to the test to find out whether the sizing on their labels were accurate. One brand which advertised 700 feet on the label only shipped around 400 feet, while the best experience was from a 1050 feet role delivering 1020 feet. .
14. Wix issued its second Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) Report, which demonstrates the company's efforts towards building a more sustainable and inclusive business and shares new initiatives to its approach to a responsible ESG framework. Co-founder and CEO, Avishai Abrahami, said, “We're here to make a difference and, ultimately, create a better world for everyone, and with today's decisions we're solidifying our foundation – for our users, our people and our company – for the next decade of success for Wix.” .
15. Walmart added the ability for sellers to purchase shipping labels for domestic orders on its marketplace, a feature that was previously only available on cross-border orders. Walmart also announced Automated Shipping Settings, which automatically generates transit times based on your warehouse zip code, carrier service, and customer's address. .
16. Moneris, a Canadian provider of payment solutions for mobile, online, and brick-and-mortar businesses, partnered with Wix to power its in-house website builder. Businesses using Moneris Online will have access to Wix's product offerings including bookings, online ordering, commerce and business solutions, and security infrastructure. .
17. Amazon plans to hire 1,000 seasonal workers across Australia in preparation for its busy mid-year sales period. The company has opened applications for temporary roles at fulfillment centers and logistics sites across Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, and Adelaide in an attempt to get ahead of the holiday season rush. .
18. Binance is rumored to be laying off as much as 20% of its 8,000 employee workforce, according to a tweet by independent reporter Colin Wu. A company spokesperson responded with a statement saying that “this not a case of rightsizing” but a focus on “whether we have the right talent”, as the company says it'll still be seeking to fill hundreds of open roles. .
19. Shein is hiring a U.S. head of logistics who will serve as a liaison between the company's U.S. and Singapore headquarters, according to a LinkedIn job posting, as part of its plan to bolster compliance and logistics execs ahead of its U.S. marketplace. The company is also hiring an anti-money laundering and compliance executive and a number of U.S. marketplace personnel. .
20. commercetools, a provider of composable commerce, appointed Roxana Dobrescu as its first Chief People Officer. Dobrescu, who brings two decades of corporate human resources and talent acquisition experience to the company, will lead global personnel efforts. .
21. Companies are pulling back on their fulfillment plans including American Eagle, who announced last year that it was building out 3PL capabilities after acquiring two logistics firms, however recently trimmed its logistics workforce, stating that the unit's services had not met expectations. Blue Apron, another example, opened two distribution centers and added 1,200 workers to assemble its boxes of fresh goods, but are now selling its logistics assets to FreshRealm, which makes meal kits for Kroger, Publix, Walmart, and other grocers. .
22. Meesho, the Facebook-backed Indian e-commerce marketplace that offers the lowest seller commission in the country, has become the world's fastest shopping app to cross 500M downloads across Google Play and iOS, reaching the milestone in just six years. Over half of those downloads (274M) came in 2022. .
23. Amazon is in talks with all major U.S. wireless carriers about a potential partnership to offer cheap or free cell phone service to Prime members. So far there are no details on what Amazon's wireless service would look like, including whether it would offer the same level of service or Internet speeds as you'd get going directly through Verizon, T-Mobile, or AT&T. .
24. Twitter is hiring NBCUniversal's senior executive Joe Benarroch in a role focusing on business operations. At NBCUniversal, Benarroch was executive VP of communications, global advertising and partnerships. .
25. Molson Hart, a reporter who famously wrote about how Amazon's business practices harm American consumers in 2019, shared on Twitter that Amazon lawyers “are trying to ruin me.” In an attempt to prove that Molson is either lying or wrong, the company has requested countless documents in discovery and requested more than two full days of depositions from the reporter, while putting him in a position to cover a mountain legal bills through 2026. .
26. Last week I reported that Jeff Bezos is ripped now. Well it turns out that Mark Zuckerberg is too! The Meta CEO impressed his followers by completing the Murph challenge, which involves running one mile, followed by 100 pull-ups, 200 push-ups, 300 squats, and concluding with another mile run, while wearing a 20lb weighted pack, in under 40 minutes. .
27. Amazon is winding down its celebrity voices initiative on Echo devices, which included voices from Samuel L. Jackson, Melissa McCarthy, and Shaquille O'Neal. Customers will be able to continue using the voices for a limited time and then can contact Amazon for a refund. .
28. Juni is launching a new feature called Juni Invoices, which offers a “buy media, pay later” model that allows online retailers to choose between 30, 60, and 90 days to pay their media invoices. The platform will auto-collect and scan invoices via integration with Google and Facebook Ads and automatically match each invoice with its corresponding transaction to reduce processing time. .
29. Google made several updates to Google Wallet, focusing on health care and travel services, with potential use cases for personal identification and airline boarding. The upgrades arrive to compete with Apple Pay, which began offering consumers a hub for their virtual payments cards along with authentication services. Now how about offering a 4.15% interest bearing savings account? .
30. Meta is planning to cut another 1,200 jobs across California, with 528 coming from the company's Menlo Park headquarters. The company also announced that it will require office-assigned staff to return to in-person work for at least three days a week starting Sep 5th. .
31. Klaviyo launched an integration with Amazon's Buy With Prime service, which lets Klaviyo users sync their order and customer data with their Klaviyo account. Business are able to see a single, real-time view of their customers, conversions, and revenue through Klaviyo's platform. .
32. Plus 8 seed rounds, IPOs, and aquisitions of interest including SellerX's acquisition of fellow e-commerce aggregator Elevate Brands.

PAUL

I always get my meds filled at Kroger..Last month I showed up at 6pm right when they were closed or close to closing and they still let me pick up my RX (possibly cursing under their breath but they didn't seem rude)...
I've always had a decent experience considering they are almost always busy, like all pharmacies and understaffed...The biggest thing though is unlike other pharmacies, they always seem to have my medication in stock. I've gotten mixed responses when i posed the question on social media of 'It's their job" or "just say thank you"...so I"m a little torn.
I wanted to send an edible arrangements to be delivered to the pharmacists and pharmacy staff as a thank you gesture but wasn't sure if this was appropriate or even allowed? If it's okay would I just address it to "Kroger Pharmacy" or directly to "Kroger pharmacist and staff" along with a keep up the good work note? I realize it's "their job" and I always say thank you but working in customer service sucks. I can only imagine a pharmacy..I figured i'd ask the folks on Kroger directly to see if this is something standard to do?

Title

[REQ] 300 dollars to repair my car. I really want to get back to work. Payback 400 in two months at the latest.

Post contents

So I need to get my car in running order. I can't get a job with an unreliable car. Nearest places are 6 - 7 miles away and refuse to hire me with no car (I offered to walk). We're actually really far from anything. My best bets will be one of the factories 30 - 40 miles away. Thus the need for a reliable car.
The breakdown is as follows:
34.50 - Registration (Annual state thing in ohio)
10.00 - Late registration (Last registered the plates in 2013)
118.00 - Alternator
19.99 - Belt
35.00 - Reconditioned Battery (Local Junkyard reconditions them and they are pretty cheap)
65.99 - Muffler (There is an irreparable hole in it that will get me pulled over and it won't pass any kind of inspection.)
24.00 - Coolant (This seems the odd one out, but my dad poured motor oil into my radiator. I bought new hoses and can flush it with water. I MAY be able to do this repair myself but even 24 dollars is beyond me to refill it and make sure there's no leaks or errors in my work)
I am going to attempt to do all the work myself since my guess is that getting a professional to do it would be about 40% more.
I've never had trouble finding a job so long as I can drive. I have to get out of this house, it's killing me.
I'm in Mt. Gliead, Ohio. I have a verified paypay and I intend to pay back when I get my job. Whatever my first paychecks are will go to that.
Edit: Got a snapshot of my bank account, personally identifiable information is removed but you can see what kind of spender I am. The recent 15 was because I went on a date with my birthday money. I could have spent it better but I hadn't done anything in a long time so... I went ahead and did it. Most my money goes towards food and household goods (at Kroger). I don't spend my money frivolously and my luxury purchases tend to be small. I haven't spent my money drinking or going out and having an extravagant time.

So I am on my third round of interviews with Kroger. They’ve had to reschedule my third interview three times. I checked my portal and it says I didn’t get the job but they still have an interview scheduled. Any ideas of what this could mean? It just wouldn’t make sense for an employer to tell me I didn’t get the job at an interview.

I switched to concerta ER after I couldn’t get adderall anywhere. Now it’s backordered and the PA for my doctor says to call around or get a written script. I’ve tried calling but no one will tell me if they have it (which I get) and I’ve been to Kroger, Walgreens, CVS, Walmart, giant Eagle you name it with a written script and everyone’s backordered. The PA said I wouldn’t have as hard of a time finding it as I did with adderall. I finally started school after 6 years and might be starting a new job and I’m so stressed. I don’t know how to manage or get through. I don’t know what to do.
ETA: does anyone have any advice? How I can cope with these changes now being unmedicated? I’m terrified.

I'm at my day job and 2 get notifications of orders from a PM. By far my favorite PM, always small orders no more than 20 items usually and always tips $10 no matter what. He had a Kroger order 8 items, and a Walgreens order with 3 item's right around the corner. I was like damn he never orders this early usually.
I was like I'll let somebody else get it, but then I thought man this is easy money. And I'm going to Vegas next week, every little bit helps. I snag both orders, sneak out of work. (And stayed on the clock) Get there and knock em both out smoothly. And he tipped $10 separately for both orders. Made it back to work and took a lunch break.😂I know it's not insane money but it was too easy to pass up.

This 1 year journey ends working at Kroger. I found a full time office job that pays over $15, and is a full time position with benefits (health insurance, 401k).
​
I've learned.. Sometimes you have to endure the worst, for the best to come. I've enjoyed this sub-forum, it help me get through my days working there.

....ALSO, 4011. Never forget.

Hey guys, here are some recent job openings in il. Feel free to comment here or send me a private message if you have any questions, I'm at the community's disposal! If you encounter any problems with any of these job openings please let me know that I will modify the table accordingly. Thanks!

I am 32 years old and I have HF Autism, Asperger Syndrome and Sever Depression. I am really upset because I just lost yet ANOTHER job do to the symptoms of my Autism. Here is a little background on everywhere I have been fired from so far.
Best Buy, Kroger, Cellairis, Computer Discount (Local PC repair) Office Max, Dillard's, Super Nerds (Local Cell Phone Repair), Verizon Wireless, Cricket Wireless, Great Lakes Vacuum (Vacuum repair shop), Wendy's and boost mobile.
I really don't know what to do anymore. I feel like I am just not employable. I have considered ending my life over the repeated job losses. I'd rather be dead than on the street because I wouldn't know how to survive... The only job I have lasted more than 1 year at was office max and that was with a manager that had training on autism. When that manager left the new manager fired me inside of a MONTH. I really just don't know what to do. How can I continue to live a normal life when I can not work? I don't wanna end up on the streets but I feel like I am the butt of some cruel plan that society has for people with disabilities. I am too smart to get SSI but too weird to have a job. I applied for SSI and got denied... I also have a felony and everyone runs background checks now so its all impossible.
I honestly should just end myself. I am clearly not worth employing and when I can get a job its all pointless. At least if I am dead, I can finally have some peace and have done something worthwhile to the world.

I'm currently a Front End Floor Supervisor at Kroger (I believe it's equivalent to a Front End Coordinator here?), and it seems like there's a ton of people that really enjoy their jobs at Publix. I went into a Publix the other day and all the employees looked like they enjoyed their job?
At Kroger I'm looking into becoming a Customer Service Manager or Assistant Customer Service Manager, but should I come to Publix? Is it really as nice as some of y'all make it look?
Edit: Appreciate all the feedback, y'all. I probably won't be leaving Kroger for awhile as I'm expected a CSM spot to open up at my store, but I will keep everything y'all said in mind.
