We've had a peppermint overload in the bakery. We have 5 buckets of peppermint icing. We have peppermint brownies, peppermint cupcakes, peppermint bark, several varieties of peppermint cookies. We even have peppermint donuts. The only peppermint thing we don't have is peppermint bread.

So I get a call and was asked if I can stay later. Okay, that's not too bad because there would be one other person closing with me right? Except this one person called out. And no one else can work (or willing to work until 10pm). So guess who is going to have to make sure everything is clean...ALONE fo...

I have to laugh then shake my head when i head the advertisment talk about working in kroger. "flexible hours"/paid vacations.....then you hear the word "career" when they tell you where to apply online. This is a job but very few can make this a career!

Krogers is so concerned about quevision, how about a problem they've been having for years, the customer service line? There are four cash registers up there but generally there's only one person ever working at a time. Maybe on a good day two. If someone in front of you starts a western union order or s...

Can someone tell me why we're not allowed to decorate? I remember in the past Kroger would have tinsel all around the store and on every aisle. Each year we have done less than the year before and now we're not even allowed to put up stockings or a tree. We have a box for employees to put Christmas cards f...

Cut our hours but hire new people? Blow smoke up my ass constantly. I love my fellow department associates, and my department manager, but all upper management creep me out. When a manager can't spell clearance or management correctly I have mini break downs. When I'm told with my HR degree and work et...

They have to honor your availability, right? Our front end manager just put up a notice saying that all students will be considered to have open availability until January. We're not a Christmas destination type store, you wouldn't need all of us on demand if you'd replace the 3 people who have quit in...

So we voted on the new contract a couple months ago. When we went to vote there was nothing in there about having a set day off. Come to find out it has changed and nobody can havr an unavailable day. This is absurd!! The union lady said you can lose your full time and insurance?!?!? What? Doesn't make sense...

Hey all. I'm a grocery head clerk, and I make a one dollar premium above the top pay rate , and am full time. I was pretty much at the bottom pay rate before I got the head clerk position, and part time. If I step down after 1 year being head clerk, will I keep my f/t and top pay rate, just lose the premium? The re...

Hi, quick question. I grew up in the the bread and butter of Kroger, right down in the Cincinnati area and have recently moved to Tennessee. I have a moral problem with unions (it's personal) but I was wondering do employees in the state of tennessee have to join unions for kroger? I have always been fond...

So I'm a deli clerk. The last hired in my store. Wevw since lost 3 pt and 1 ft person. The reason given for no new hires is the low starting pay. I believe that completely. If we can't hire ppl doesn't this make the next year pure hell for workers? Without the union pay scale we could actually hire the p...

You ever forget someone's coupons and/or s/he hands them to you after you already tendered him/her out and they look at you like you're a frickin criminal? Dude, it's like 80 cents savings. If you cared about your coupons so much maybe you could have mentioned them before I told you to swipe your card. Y...

I had my first day today and feel like I barely made it out alive. I had no idea how much crap Drug/GM has to stock.

This company makes a little under 2 BILLION a year and yet each and every year, or in the case of District Q, every new contract, they come up with ways of getting rid of full-timers and firing people willy nilly. This is a company I've spent 15 years of my life with, and credit them to pulling me off the stre...

So what is the deal with vendors? The lady that hired me was telling me about all the different brands stocked by vendors. I had no idea so many things were brought in and stocked by outside companies. Are there many things in the Drug/GM dept. that are done by vendors? I found this interesting.

antone who works in MS, do they schedule you according to seniority? Or mix it up? And does the CSC have the right to schedule you on your unavailable day?
