Attention Jewel Osco Shoppers
It's official
If you don't bring your Preferred Card, you're just about fucked.
We can attempt to look you up through your drivers licence, or your social security number, but most ppl don't like that.
Here's the kicker
IF WE CAN'T FIND YOU IN OUR SYSTEM, THEN YOU WILL NOT RECEIVE ANY PREFERRED SAVINGS AT ALL!!! WE ARE NO LONGER ALLOWED TO JUST "PUT IN" A NUMBER FOR YOU.
Trust me, I learned the hard way today.
I signed the paper last week but due to ppl being inconsistant as previously posted, I was still puttin in numbers for ppl. I got my head ripped off today many times. Mostly from the customers, but there were some service desk ppl in my face a few times as well.
I have many issues with this as do you I'm sure, but I'll just sleep on it for now. I just wonder if the president of jewel fell getting out of bed one morning and did a complete 180 degree spin and decided "fuck the customers" or something.
Lesson learned, point made.
If you are coming to Jewel sans PC, I suggest the following
1 - stop at the service desk
2 - go back home and get the fucking thing
3 - be prepared to be completely angered
4 - lose your savings (and btw, you can't just go up to the desk and complain about it either, they won't help you)
Pissed and tired

"if you are coming to Jewel without a Preferred Card" is what she means (sans = without in French... bonjour.)
And yes, this new policy sucks -- for their employees and for their "Not Preferred" customers. I just ranted about it on my own blog after my awful experience there last night.
They really blew it this time. Hang in there.
Melissa, what on earth? I work at a Jewel in Illinois. We have had no such policy passed down to us. I found you through Stephen V. and commented there, too. Our store director is a 180 from the attitude you describe, if it makes a customer happy, he'll do it, including standing on his head. If such a policy as you describe DID make it to our region of stores, I highly doubt it would get enforced.
However, we DO have a policy in place, and have had ever since before I started working at this store, that we can't look up your Jewel card number with your DL or SS numbers. And we don't have memorize a "generic" preferred card number, either. At our store, both floor managers carry a card, plus there is one with whoever is running the self-checkouts at the time. It's never more than a few seconds wait to get a card, no matter HOW busy we are. Of course, we're in a smaller town, and probably therefore not as busy as the Jewel that Stephen shops at, or the one you work at.
I'm going to print out your entry and show it to my boss, and see what I can find out about this "new policy".

I just randomly strolled onto your blog here when looking up Jewel-Osco stuff. Hope you don't mind my commenting.
I work for a Jewel in Illinois and we just got the whole no p-card no savings about a month ago. I can't tell you HOW many times I've gotten the crap end of the shat stick cuz of this brain child. I'm sure you have many ppl backing you in your righteous anger, I just want you to know ya got one more. XP Hopefully after enough complaints are sent in, they'll (the biggies at the top of the jewel food chain) get their heads out their arses and set things rite again.
g'luck!
I work at a Jewel Express, they don't fucking care about us. Fuck Jewel. The customers are assholes. In a fucking hurry...management sucks cock...
wow dont be so lazy bring your card what kinda fuckin moron are you.... seriously its people like you who dont deserve any kind of savings
jewel food at 1200 n. clark sell spoiled meat the manager suck big time customer is all ways wrong i had to report them to BBB do not buy any meat pork is all spoiled
Spring Grove, Illinois Jewel. Mostly great employee's working in all depts. to help you. They will go out of their way for you. But younger cashiers and baggers act like their doing you a favor. Their to busy chit chatting among themselves mostly younger girls behind register and boys bagging(if they decide to bag) Time to shop in Mchenry or Lake Geneva. Kindly complained once but must been swept under the carpet.
It's simple. When you CONSIDER going to Jewel, "just say no!!!" I go elsewhere, to a store that doesn't require stupid cards like this, there are many. And usually, there prices are better. So, "just say no" to Jewel until they drop the stupid card.
Jewel put all the winning numbers in the sub. neighborhood.
Jewel took down all of the manager pic. because they want to put people who live out of the neighborhood, so they can sell rotten food.
I hate working for this company!
I am looking for a new job and by the way nobody cares about the crabby customers or the customers that try too get this store into trouble! And managers are so mean and rude!
