This is just a rant/rave post; There's this woman who works accounting and front end (She does mostly anything front end and accounting) and she's just a d*ck. She's the kind of person who loudly tells you that your card declined or your check didn't go through on purpose just to piss you off. Numerous...

The store that I work at was supposed to have a remodel. Now 2 weeks before the remodel we're told that it is on hold. they came and measured everything and had the plans. We were telling customers about this and was excited .Since it's on hold I know that means were not getting a remodel anymore. So how...

It's in my 'Home Depot schedule conflict' thread. Basically, their take is either I find someone to work the shift, work the shift, or don't come back. Wow. Just...wow.

So you go and erase my post. I guess Kroger has control over this page. There was nothing wrong with my post. I wont be back. Here is some advice for you wise administraters....change the name of this site to YODEL.

Just curious if other stores have changed night stock shifts from 10 to 6 to midnight to 8. Most everyone I know on 3rd works it for a reason. I've worked 10 to 6 for the past 15 years so I can be home to get my kids off to school and be available to them for whatever reason. I'm told the shift change is " ne...

My store lost power at quarter to 6 today, Eastern time. There was a transformer that blew on the grid that connects to the store's power. I've never been there when the power went out so I really had no idea what to do. Luckily, I got off at 6 so I didn't really have to deal with it long. It was just weird.

So the fuel center closes at 11:00, when the pumps shut down, but the lights shut off at 11:57 and that's when I hit "end shift" and started counting up my till. A customer came up at 11:58 wanting gas, but I was already closed and had to decline. Now she called the store manager and he says that I...

Hey guys, So I see on many of these posts that a lot of you work in Kroger stores that are part of the union, with pay that is lower than minimum wage or just bad. Does anybody else work at a Smith's? I don't know if it's like this everywhere, but the pay scale at our store is awesome... Baggers start at $8.25...

I'm in a tight spot here. I've been sick as a dog, coughing so hard that it's strained my back. Last night while breaking down pallets I managed to make it so much worse. I've hurt my back before at home and had to miss a week of work. Now I've been told I'm in for a drug test and may have to be let go for missing to...

I went to my store on my day off yesterday to pick up a prescription, but since my new doctor is closer to the store I got there before it was ready. Since I had a few minutes to spare I went over to see what was going on in the deli. Wish I hadn't. I see that the lady who opened was in a grouchy mood and the lady do...

I am pretty sure the answer to this is no but I want some more opinions on this. Basically I have a few coworkers that are well below me on seniority and they are starting to request days off a couple weeks out from now.

So we have a guy at work who just came out as gay. So now it's a big thing And the talk of the store. He was called upstairs and management said he cased a distrubance and if the commotion does not die down He can get fired. Everyone said they cannot fire him because of what others are saying. Can they?
