r/HEB

i might be late to this information i dont kno, but did anyone’s store get told that they are no longer gonna produce the “homemade” buttermilk ranch? I got word on it from a high position partner (i cant specify). it’s gonna come prepackaged now and i am extremely disappointed as a partner and consumer. i know its going to lose its flavor and be shoved with unnecessary ingredients to stabilize its shelf life. i guess it might help production reduce some labor but still gross.

I recently started at HEB a couple of months ago. My ultimate goal is to work in the HR department for HEB. I have my bachelor’s and plan to take the HR certification exam in the next couple of months. I noticed that there is a position i’m HR available to apply. Would it be too soon to leave my department? My department is already short staffed as it is. I feel like leaving this early seems like the wrong move. I talked to my department manager about eventually moving to corporate and was told to stay in my department and work my way up the career ladder (specialist, lead, etc.) What should I do?

I currently work at JVSS. I had a walk with managers at HEB, think it went well and I finished my application. But one of them said I don't have to tell my store anything until I have an offer. So my reason for this post is, obviously they'd do their homework on me and of course I'd give a heads up but what can managers see as far as transfer opportunities go, if anything? It's not that I'm trying to be secretive but I've been screwed over before. Anything helps, thanks

For a long time I had this question: are there products hiding in a normal grocery store (HEB, Walmart) that would pass the same standards as a store like Whole Foods or Sprouts?

I picked 6 filters. No artificial colors, no artificial sweeteners, no ingredients flagged by CSPI, no erythritol or sugar alcohols, nothing that would get pulled from a Whole Foods shelf, and a 10g added sugar cap per serving of a candy.

Then I ran the analysis on every candy product at the local HEB. All 1,000+ of them. This was an intensive Python-script heavy exercise.

11 passed!

The one that genuinely surprised me: Feastables MrBeast Peanut Butter Milk Chocolate. The candy bar kids beg for, at least mine do. Passed everything.

The rest of the list — Hu "organic grass-fed" type bars, Justin's Mini PB Cups, Raisinets, Life Savers Pep O Mint, YumEarth Lollipops, Hill Country Fare Peanut Butter Bars, Central Market Truffles.

The takeaway for me personally — you don't have to shop at Whole Foods to eat clean. Some of what you need is already at your regular grocery store. But it takes some work to find the hidden gems.

I did cereals too if anyone's curious. That list has its own surprises.

I’m currently working at HEB in a different department averaging 33-36 hours but want to take on some extra hours doing stocking for the extra income (12-16 hours a week). To the people who have been stocking for some time how harsh are the managers on your units per hour and what should I be on the lookout for?

My currently weekly schedule fluctuates from starting as early as 8am and leaving at 10pm. With those varying hours do you think it would be realistic for someone in a completely different department to take me on?

Why is it so hard to get into HEB?? lol i really wanna work there so badly..

Can any partner do the truck orders for your dept or is supposed to be only leads/mgrs?

Do you know if there’s an assistant/backup/part-time pitmaster in addition to the main pitmaster? The regional managers running my interview said I would be good for a position they called “backup pitmaster”, who covers on the main pitmaster’s days off every week and any sick/vacation/PTO days they take. Has anyone on this subreddit worked at True Texas BBQ and heard of a position like that?
