Let me give you an insider information to their regard for food saftey as a former vendor…read moreemployee.. 0 stars should be reflected on the Health Inspector, I think conditional satisfactory, primarily bc of the food samplers, that's kept at that store.
The GM banned me from the store and criticized me over tiny things, like an employee spilling mints I was demoing, while opening them. But the never cares if SAS Retail Services food sampler vendors let customers reach their hands into the main bowl of food that SAS is serving. That bowl is the main bowl that will be seperated into individual samples, its a huge food satey issue to let customers with unwashed hands and no gloves, reach into a bowl of food meant for everyone.
And the GM never told an advantage employee, therw who joined in late December, to change wash her hands or even change her glove after constantly using her phone, before she handled food. Phones have fecal matter on it, especially when phones are taken to the bathroom.
And SAS Retail employees don't seem to be washing their hands before they start food sample demonstrations. Both SAS and current Advantage Employees don't wash their hands a 2nd time in the bakery or Deli sink, after they washed their hands in the bathroom, after going to the bathroom. They are suppose to wash twice per SOP guidelines. If you see that BJ's woman'sbathroom, you will agree heavily with the SOP guidelines that mandate they wash their hands twice.
They SAS Retail Services at that store don't use 3 cleaning solutions most of the time, they only use the sanitizer solution or Clorox Cleaning Wipes. BJ's Corp wants them to use 3 cleaning solutions. You can see them using the sanitizer solution or clorox wipes at the isles in the stores around Wednesdays- Sunday.
2 advantage employees who joined the company after December, one may no longer work there, we're purposefully disregarding/doing the opposite of what the safety training video they had said(for pushing 25lb carts around).
The Safety training video for Advantage ESS and Leads had, specifically stated that the carts had to be pushed from behind, and slowly, especially around corners. The EES and Leads had to push slowly and watch out for people in front of them.
The 2 Advantage Employees who joined after December refused to push the 25lb cart, they kept pulling it most of the time, and pushed it fast. When the first out of those 2 employees were told to push the 25lb cart as per their Safety Training, she claimed that EES like her got a separate Safety Training Video than Leads. That isn't true because the Safety Training Video stated all Event Specialists who pushed the cart, had to push it the same way, for safety reasons. There was no separate method for Leads and ESS or regular Event Specialists to push the carts mentioned in the safety training video. It would be included in the training videos for a Lead if there was.
The 2 Advantage Employees, who joined after December, didn't care about the handbook in general. They didn't follow this safety training, and still don't.
The Advantage Employee who joined after those 2 girls, likely pulls the cart despite the Safety training video too. Like those 2 girls, he may be a former SAS Employee.
The BJ's Deli Employee and rhe BJ's produce employees Corin, encourage them when they pulled their carts for them, by also doing it in a way that disregards the Safety Training. (If they still move their carts foe them.)
He Deli got doesn't like to hear about the Advantage Vendor Safety training, which differs form BJ store employees. The Deli guy had once said he doesn't care about the Advantage policies.
The outside agency also might have been putting paper towels in microwaves. Advantage work orders mentioned putting Deli paper in ovens, and I think paper towels in microwaves. I saw one of the 2 advantage solution employees(the 1st one), who joined after Dec, looked like.she ess going to put paper towel in a microwave. I told her not to use paper towels in the oven, or Deli paper in ovens, if the workorder said to do so, and to ask someone instead. That girl didn't even respond or answer whether she was following those instructions.
(Another store Lead said ignore those workplace instructions, they didn't have to be followed.)
The outside agency left aluminum foil line in a portable oven, and maybe didn't change ge the aluminum when they used the oven again. The ovens also have crumbs stuck in them for 1-3 years, none of the food samplers even clean clean half of them out at anytime.
