Hello all. I live in KY. It appears that I have paid union dues and union initiation through my paychecks, but I don't recall ever filling out any paperwork for joining the union. Does this mean I'm in the union? This has never really been made that all clear to me..

So on my schedule for like two days this next week I have been put into the position of Front End Supervisor Assistant (I can't remember the exact wording but it was along those lines), and absolutely no one in my store that was on tonight when I stopped in to ask knew what it was. I have not been cross-train...

Getting ready to open a new store. And even though the store that's opening is within walking distance, hence why I applied, I've been having to train at a Training Center and other store almost an hour away. (30 minutes roughly, and hour with traffic :/) They offered us a bus, which I told them I had a ri...

In my second week at Kroger, here. Walked into work today and just had a feeling that it was going to be a bad day. Ever get those? I didn't feel like being there that day, but of course I went; I don't believe in missing work/something important unless I'm very sick. Well, all that day actually went good...

Tonight, I was working and there was a drunk guy that came into the store... STUMBLING. He fell in one of the aisles and the on-duty manager had to be called over. First, the guy tells a CC that he has a heart problem and that he'll be fine. Then, when the manager comes over, he tells her that he had Chemo toda...

I was just wondering what the asterisk meant on the greatpeople.me site since I couldn't find an explanation on there, and I haven't run across it before. Its on two different days separated by a day off (an eight hour shift and a three and a half hour shift), and I figured I'd ask.

I work at a Kroger in Local 400 in the Mid-Atlantic area, specifically Southern WV. Well our contract expires on the 15th yet they didn't begin negotiations until the 30th of last month. Last contract they began negotiation in August and still had to get an extension in October. Anyone know if ther...

I don't know if this was a man or a woman. I didn't see. Person drives a white car. They used one of the small carts in the store. This person has parked right next to the curb in the parking lot. LAZY JERK has pushed the cart next to the curb and left it there, rather than walk to a corral less than 30 feet away an...

I woke Monday morning with a terrible pain in my body (I don't want to be too specific because I fear that I may be singled out) and went to the Emergency Room. I was given hardcore pain meds and told to go home and follow up with a specialist. I called the specialist and was told they could see me Friday morni...

So here in the Atlanta market, about a month or so ago we courtesy clerks 'lost' our cooler of water by the main entrance. Yea. So we're back to paying for our own drinks (Gatorade, Kickstarter, bottled Kroger-brand water, etc.) to help keep hydrated and cool while bringing in those goddamned shoppin...

Am I required to give two weeks notice if I have to quit for personal/health related reasons?

I was a junior employee, in a highly credentialed career profile that was tricked into resigning in lieu of dismissal under the spoken promise of not recording in my personal file that this would be the case by HR. I followed company policy of notifying the immediate superior, as per company rules of a...

What a day! I paged for an override and the floor supervisor was in customer service so she called my register to see what I needed. I told her I need to supspend a transaction. She started yelling "Don't you yell at me, quite yelliing at me". WTF? The comanager was in there with her and on...

Sometimes I ask myself what sort of a b-a-s-t-a-r-d company I work for, and then I inadvertently get an answer. Our store has a contest going right now for cashiers. They basically encourage the customers to give feedback. The cashier whose name appears the most by a certain date gets Thanksgiving Da...

Today we have about 6 half full carts of go backs. And even though we have 2 other courtesies, they chose (UN)-lucky me to do them. My co-manager said he wanted ME to do them in one hour. (The other two courtesies were doing other tasks, lot duty and bagging). Plus I was on sweeps, doing price checks, servi...
