job 141: clerk @ safeway

So far so good. One question: are you willing to shop at safeway and encourage your friends and family to shop at safeway?
Safeway also does something that I think is particularly smart: they have you fill out all these tax credit questions -- apparently if you hire certain categories of people, you get a tax break. This can be pretty substantial -- vets, people on food stamps, etc. -- you can see how a company would like to get a few thousand dollars back/off just for hiring the right kind of person. Unfortunately, for as smart as Safeway is to ask these kinds of questions, their computer system is about as dumb as a brick: if you are applying to just one position, no problem. But if you are applying to two? You have to fill out the questionnaire twice. Ten positions? Ten times. SFWY -- my answers are gonna be the same every time!
