kROGERS IS USING THIS CARD AS ENTRAPMENT!!!!They r spying on u!! I used the card to purchase some groceries with coupons!!! Even called Procter and Gamble to see if we could use the $10 off white strips coupon on Tide they said it was ok so several of us used the coupon on Tide well we just got suspended!!! We got an ok from the co but Kroger said it was coupon fraud ! Dont shop at Kroger!!!Its not worth your job to be fired over $10. Then they lie to u and say everything will be fine if you pay back the money which u do and they turn their 2 faced back around and still suspend u!!!!
stop complaining you little baby and just take the suspension like an adult. if you don't like Kroger, just go to another company. It's not that hard to do...
Anytime Kroger says your information will be kept strictly confidential don't believe them. We recently received information on a health screening that employees can take to get a lower cost on their health insurance. They claim that the results will be kept strictly confidential but frankly I just don't believe them. So I'm not going to do it, even if I am in excellent health. Same thing goes for that employee tracker survey that's coming up. You don't put down your name but they ask you what store you work at, what department you work in, your length of service, your sex, and your age. With the exception of the front end, if you fill out all that information they can pretty much figure out who you are. The only personal information I fill out is the department I work in. Everything else is left blank.

I LOVE that associate tracker survery. I don't care if they know that I'm giving all 1's. I put down my honest opinions and thoughts on the questions they ask. I am sad that the last one we did, they removed the comment box. I filled that sucker up.
Okay first of all. You obviously do not have any management experience and do not know how coupons work as well. Kroger Policies and those of other companies are different. They can not dictate that as to oneanothers procedures. If you worked on Front End you should know. The COUPON MUST MATCH THE PRODUCT! P and G is not Kroger, instead you should have called Kroger or called your manager and asked them! Do not blame the company for not obeying policies that legally they do not have to obey!!
This post sounds like some crazy customers that come in my store. They come in and I ask for their kroger card and they go off on a rant about some conspiracy theoy that the government is tracking all of their spending habits and what not. We had to throw some guy out not too long ago because he wouldn't quit yelling about this random stuff. Sure someone may be tracking what you buy...but it's just kroger groceries. Not credit reports and personal information...
But if they're trying to get evidence against a certain employee or a customer they can track that person's card to see what they buy. What if that employee happens to buy a lot of beer or other alcohol or just happens to buy something that's used in making meth? They could claim that the employee has an alcohol or drug problem. Believe it or not, they actually tried to do that to someone in my division. The bottom line is watch your back.
Yeah I see where you are coming from. You wouldn't scan your kroger card for beer or alcohol anyway because it doesn't affect the price nor do you get any gas points for it. What is there to buy at a grocery store to make meth? You sound experienced. haha jk
Jack, Matches are a big time Meth Item that people will buy in a grocery store. When you see someone checking out with those huge boxes, especially if they are buying more than one, then it's likely they are meth heads. Our store imposes a restriction on how many boxes of matches you can buy at a time because of it. Im not sure what the other ingredients are, though.
Psuedo ephedrine is another red flag----congress passed a bill a few years ago that limits retailers from selling only so much of that to one purchaser at a time. And for a while, even those little nicad batteries that power toy L.E.D. lights came under question.
Meth is the devil's very semen, and any one who even considers trying it once is too retarded to be allowed to breathe. . . .

Aww, I was hoping for a comment box on this coming survey, I'd do the same thing. :P

The waivers are so they dont have to comply to the eligibility and discrimination testing (because large companies will fail) resulting in massive taxes, ummm, I mean fines.

THEY ARE NOT A CRAZY CUSTOMER THEY ARE KROGER EMPLOYEES WHO HAPPENED TO USE A COUPON ONE DAY IN GOOD FAITH! THEY NEVER HEARD OF BAD COUPONS THEY SAID IT WAS OK TO USE! KROGERS JUST NEEDED A REASON ANY REASON TO FORCE RETIREMENT. I QUESS THEY SHOULD OF TOOK NAPS OUT IN THEIR CARS WHILE PUNCHED IN! THEYSTILL WOULD HAVE A JOB!!!!!!!!!!! THEY HAD NO INTENTION OF COMMITTING FRAUD! IF COUPONS ARE SUCH A BIG DEAL DONT U THINK KROGERS SHOULD EDUCATE THEIR EMPLOYEES ABOUT SUCH THINGS!?! MORAL OF THE STORY? DONT PLAN TO RETIRE FROM KROGERS!
Wait... you used a toothpaste coupon on detergent and thought you were OK because the manufacturer supposedly said it was OK and someone overrode it at the register?
When we got hired we were told our employee Kroger cards were closely tracked. I take them at their word. If I'm at my store, I always do u-scan no matter how much I'm buying.
I never do coupons except the electronic ones loaded via the web site so it's automatic.
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2102859/How-Target-knows-shoppers-pregnant--figured-teen-father-did.html Here's an interesting story of customers being tracked.... :) Once my bf was asked for a $20 loan by a fellow employee so he bought a water bottle and got cash back. Except he was on the clock when this happened. He didn't get in trouble, but they told him it was stealing time and he couldn't do it again. (He hadn't thought it through). Also before I started working there, I would go and use his K card. They were tracking the use and warned him he couldn't shop on the clock (at which point he stated that I was using it and since I'm in the same household that's allowed). So they really do track it.
This is new information for me. Many use it for some fraud activities. We are all planning to save money in these difficult occasions. Coupon cutting can help keep grocery and other expenditures down, and those savings can add up. But there's a bad side to couponing. Popularized by a TLC reality show, "Extreme Couponing" can, for many, become an obsession that consumes their lives.

That's like asking to use By One Get One Free coupon of dog food on infant formula. just because they may be made by the same company does NOT mean you can use the coupon for a different product. take this as lesson learned and next time, IF there is a next time, don't do it.

Yeah I know. Op and anybody who got on their bandwagon really have no valid ground to stand on. Regardless of what they say P&G supposedly told them, if the coupon is valid, the text on the coupon determines how it can be used. Anything else is stupid to expect.
