Unfortunately, I tried every place imaginable before I took this job, and was not successful. My friend said that she put in a good word for me at a foundry, but nothing came of that. The job market where I live is pretty competitive now, and this late into summer, I would never be able to find a job. I have thought about quitting, but I need the job, and at least when I am there, I do my best to treat people's food well. If I quit, they would probably just hire someone who did not give a crap.
Oh, and it turns out that the store manager does know. I was put on backline yesterday, and I deliberately asked my backline trainer if I should throw out a platter of turkey that had expired, and she explained to me that she talked with the store manager, and if the store manager sees her signature on the food in the morning, she will let it pass. So I guess it is not just one person.
