I know I'm not a moderator or member of any real significance here, but can we sticky this? I feel like this has been asked on here several times, and I think having a central place to post tips/advice for boosting ring/tender percentage would be helpful. I've been cashiering for over a year now and here...

Are only natural hair colors allowed now? Could you get fired for having "abnormal" colored hair?

I really don't like them. They aren't comfortable and on top of everything we have to tuck them in. My boobs are too big for them and I'm fat so now the only thing I see when I look at my reflection is how ugly I am. I mean at least when I was comfortable I didn't feel bad about myself. Maybe this is Kroger weedin...

It looks like I barely have 13 hours next week. If you wonder why I complain so much, try working for $80 a week and see how you feel. I picked up $130 this past paycheck. For the work they ask and for what I do, $80 a week won't cut it. I can rake yards and clean gutters and make more than that for the same amount o...

So, as of right now, I am the backup Customer Service Coordinator at my Kroger, but I've been offered a spot in the deli by the head of the meat department. I was wondering how tough the deli is, and how hard the learning curve/adjustment would be from going from front end to meat department. Any advice? S...

Hypothetical question. Would someone bribing you to take a shift off them due to a not-so legit reason be grounds for punishment? Not me, but someone bribed me with food to take their shift, and I have no intentions of taking it anyways, but was just wondering if anyone else was ever in that situation....

Just got asked to work Customer Service, is there any pay raise for going up there? Not sure if it's worth it or not.

I cashier at my store and I was on educational leave at the time this happened, so I don't know all the details. But one of my supervisors said while I was gone they did some sort of update or reset to the POS system and ever since then it's been really laggy sometimes. For instance I'll scan a bunch of stuff a...

Who here has signed up for the Merrill Lynch 401(K) plan through Kroger? Just wondering because I am having a bit of an issue. I signed up for it nearly a month ago. Had my account set up to where it would take so much out of my check weekly. After two weeks, it still said I had $0 in my savings plan. So I figu...

Ha, ok, so for a change of pace: I'm looking for that one item that the deli sells with their lunch meals. It's either a sweet potato or carrot.... cake... thing. The question is, I have no idea what it is. It's orange in color, soft, and served with the chicken and mashed potatoes. It's actually the ONL...

Yesterday at work I found out that our Front End manager filed a grievance against a new guy in the deli because he doesn't work any late shifts. Main reason he doesn't is because of his availability. For crying our loud neither me or the asst. deli manager work too many late shifts but the new guy got fi...

Well thank God that the holiday season in over. Just before it started we got a new store manager who didn't allow any extra hours and cut them even more than the already low amount we were already given. And the number of new hires has recently dropped. They work a few days then quit. The HR lady told m...

Joy. With Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's holidays behind us, we leave behind one long, "fun" stretch in the world of retail and now enter a new, almost as obnoxious, time of the year, exclusive to Kroger (lucky us). The holidays have come and gone, so now it's time to "reempha...

As soon as I got out of the car this morning I noticed a police car parked a few doors down from Kroger. I thought maybe the beauty supply store had been robbed again, for the 5th time in a year. Then I noticed right in front of Kroger, on the sidewalk, blocking the whole area off were 3 police cars. Went in...

Thought I'd share this little story. A couple days ago a lady came in and spoke to one of the deli employees, dammit I missed all the fun because I was at lunch at the time, and said that she got sick from the holiday dinner she purchased for thanksgiving. She didn't bring any of the dinner items back, all...

Everytime I change my availability, my department manager that writes the schedules messes it up. I go to college so my availability is non negotiable. Last time it took him 3 weeks to get it right...then he gets mad at me even though I clearly put it online.

Over the Holidays my wife purchased boxes of "keurig" types of coffee to make gift baskets. Mind you i have shopped at Kroger for over 15 plus years and basically do all my shopping there. Tonight my wife asked me to return 4 boxes but could not find the receipt for the original purchase of t...

As some of you may know, I've been terribly sick for the past two days. I went to the doctor's on Monday and got a note. The note says that I could return to work today, but I woke up still not feeling well (I had a fever again) so I called in again this morning. And I had planned on going back today because I thou...
