| Visited site. Nothing new today. | ||||||
| Price Rite | ||||||
| Visited site (www.priceritesupermarkets.com/). They have one Baltimore location, 1205 W. Pratt St. They appear to accept applications continuously. Many titles of interest: – PriceRite – Carts Clerk – PriceRite – Cashier/Clerk – PriceRite – Porter – PriceRite – Produce Clerk – PriceRite – Scanning Clerk – PriceRite – Stocking Clerk Uses Kronostm.com Applied for: Carts clerk Applications expire after 90 days. Attempted to apply for Cashier/Clerk; got message that I already have an application in. One is asked to specify all titles one’s interested in, with the first application. So, I guess I’ve effectively applied for all six titles. |

| ShopRite | ||||||
| Two local locations: 4601 Liberty Heights Avenue (Howard Park) 3221 Cleanleigh Drive (Parkway Crossing) PriceRite and ShopRite are both divisions of Wakefern Food Corporation. ShopRite uses Kronostm.com also; actually, the Careers page is identical to that of PriceRite. I was able to sign in using the same username and password. Multiplicity of available titles:

| Miscellaneous | ||||||
| Stop, Shop & Save has gone out of business as of sometime in 2014, but Yahoo! Maps still shows half a dozen locations in Baltimore. Stop & Shop is a brand of Giant; I’ll need to check out Giant later. Shop & Save is a chain in Missouri, but there are two stand-alone stores with that name in metro Baltimore. |

| Giant | ||||||
| Area locations: 601 E. 33rd St. 5150 Sinclair Lane 7709 Harford Road 8100 Loch Raven Blvd (Towson) 6340 York Road 1020 W. 41st St. Webpage: http://giantfood.com/careers/ |

| Giant | ||||||
| Uses reidsystems.com. Applied to positions at 6340 York Road: Cashier. I’m also interested in these titles: Stock Clerk, Pharmacy Clerk, Service Clerk, Bagger/Parcel Pick-Up, Porter, Baker’s Assistant. |
||||||
| The system asks you to indicate any other titles you’re interested in, and also asks if you’d like your application shared with other stores in the area. | ||||||
| I went back and began an application for Stock Clerk at the same location. The system did not recall that I had been there before, nor did it recall any information from my previous application. So, it’s feasible to apply for each specific title at each specific location, at the cost of having to re-enter all one’s information again each time. | ||||||
| I question whether that’s worth the effort, since I indicated interest in the other titles, and the other stores, on the first application. | ||||||
| MONDAY 2016-06-20 | ||||||

The Homeless Blogger 
Looks like a lot of good options available that you applied for. Congrats!
It’s about time you showed up!
It can be tough to keep going when actually options appear few. E.g., I have 16 applications in at Safeway, now, and 11 at Save-A-Lot, and not one call back yet. However, I recall (more often than one might think) your saying that “Most failure is failure to try.”
Thanks for your timely support!
