What you need to know about Cub Foods Bagging...

All Band/Marching Band Students From: Mike and Heidi Bohlken

Please read this important information regarding fundraising at Cub Foods.

We normally schedule 5 days of bagging right before Christmas so be sure to watch for signup dates in early December.

Bagging groceries for tips is only available to students, however, parents are welcome to help out as chaperones.
Tips are NOT split or averaged between workers. 90% of the earnings go into your band student activity account. 10% go to the Band Boosters.
The following information is very important and it is expected that all baggers and their parent(s) read it.

Rules and Regulations:

• Treat this like a regular job. You are expected to show up 10 minutes before your shift starts
• Please call us if you are going to be late or won't be coming (good excuses only please)
• You will not be allowed to leave your shift early unless it has been approved ahead of time, because that wastes time that somebody else could have been working
• If it is your first bagging experience, you will be given some instructions to read and the chaperone will help you get started
• At the end of your shift, allow 10-15 minutes for you and the chaperone to both count your tips and record the amount

Uniform:

• Pants: Pants must be nice and should have pockets so you have a place to put your tips when you too busy to place them in your envelope. Absolutely no shorts are allowed!!
• Shoes: Make sure shoes are comfortable - you will be on your feet the whole time
• Shirts: We provide a band t-shirt for all workers so wear a shirt that will fit underneath it
• Hats: You will be asked to take off any hat while you are working
• If the chaperone feels that you have not dressed appropriately, you will be asked to go home and change

Sign Up Procedure:

• You must be logged in to your account in order to signup
• You will need to fill out and submit the online Cub Signup Form (after reading the rest of this)
• Please take the time to go over your school, work and family calendars so that you know which shifts you cannot sign up for
• If you would like to be scheduled for more than 1 shift, be sure to indicate that on the form. That does not mean that there will be extra shifts assigned to you
• Your Cub Shift Assignment will be available to view online after the schedule has been completed. This is usually 5-7 days before the first bagging date
• If you cannot work a shift you are scheduled for, the schedule will not be adjusted to accomodate you as scheduling 30-50 students is complicated

Chaperones:

• We need 1 parent for each bagging shift. It is much easier if parents approach us with the offer to chaperone (usually the same shift your child works) than us having to call around to find people
• It is not a difficult job, and we will teach you what you need to know the first time you chaperone. Please contact us by email or phone if you are able to help out
• WE WILL NOT SEND OUT ANY SHIFT SCHEDULES UNTIL THERE IS A CHAPERONE SIGNED UP FOR EVERY SHIFT

If you have questions, please email or call us (437-5043)

Thank you,

Mike and Heidi
