Ok July 12, 2014 I was terminated and none of the mangers called me on July 11, 2014 that I. Was supposed to come in. I'm applying at other QFCs stores same department loved produced is their such a thing as the black/ red list of termination? And can I still get in other kroger stores? I don't have felony or and criminal background only fired once. Or should I wait a month than again reapply? Ice read other kroger managers comments here that the black list is a myth and you don't have to wait a year to reapply as long as you don't have a criminal background. He said a guy a Walmart got fired remixed from their and hired at qfc immediately afterward.
The fact that you won't describe the circumstances regarding your termination is shady as ****.
Anyway, yes, there is such thing as a blacklist. Yes, they can pass the word around to not hire you. You'd be better off applying at a different place.
The guy from walmart got hired because Kroger and Walmart does not share their employee database. They can't type some magic words and have BS come up. And those contact info for previous employers? They seldom take a look at those and never bother to call.
To clarify what NutritionWhore was saying, no there is actually not a "blacklist" per se.
What happens is when an employee is termed, whoever processes it in the store has to enter a term code in Kronos which specifies whether the employee is eligible for rehire, and if not, why not.
This sticks around forever and pops up any time that employee's ssn is entered during rehire. This has essentially the same effect as a blacklist.

Yes, but I would think that it would still be up to an individual HR rep or manager to make that decision.
I mean, there would be a difference between someone being terminated for loss prevention purposes compared to, say, coming in late or not calling in.

If the manager hates your ass with the intensity of a thousand suns, there's no difference between the two just so that they can give you a hard time.

The codes don't prevent you from being rehired, they just tell whoever sees them that you shouldn't be rehired, but they can chose to ignore them.
I got fired misreading the schedule while I was new. How long do I have to wait to try reapplying again? I was their 2 weeks
I know someone that was fired for poor attendance by the previous store manager. 2 years later, he was rehired at same store in produce. The newer store manager loved him. But, he did so well, he was getting a lot of hours. Someone jealous of him complained to HR and the store manager was forced to let him go. He was supposed to have been flagged as "do not rehire" the first time around. Now he works for a competing retailer as a co manager and is very happy.
You were only there for 2 weeks. You had to have missed more than a day or the manager is very strict.
Just go apply at QFC asap. Don't mention your work history at Kroger. Apply for a produce position.
If you are hired, prove that you are worth keeping in case the flag does get noticed later on.
Thank you I will do that do I also what if they ask was I ever terminated do I say no or say yes?
I thought you worked for Kroger and want to go to QFC. You want to go to another QFC is what I read now.
It is a dicey situation.
If it is your first job, I would not mention working for the other QFC. If they find out about it, it might be bad for you. But, play dumb anyway...
I would take a chance and not mention working for the other QFC. If it comes up in an interview, be honest and hope for the best.
No employer wants to hear excuses. If your schedule is posted online, make sure you can access it from home. If the schedule is posted at work, take a picture of it with your phone. Learn to read the schedule correctly.

This is terrible advice on top of being completely useless.
QFC is a Kroger division. AFAIK every division uses the Kronos/expressHR combo, and the moment OP applies at another store, they will show up as having been previously employed, as well as having been terminated.

Could you atleast coach me instead of make me feel worthless?
I realize QFC is a Kroger division.
In a perfect world, The hiring person can cross check kronos. We all know how perfect Kroger operates..

Yes, we all know how Kroger operates. They operate for the benefit of themselves, and not you. They WILL crosscheck Kronos to see if you've been terminated for mundane reasons, but they won't crosscheck to see if you deserve any backpay, experience, etc.

No, you're still not getting what I'm saying. It isn't that they "might" cross-check in Kronos, and it isn't that in a"perfect world" they would always do it. The moment the hiring manager enters your ssn into the system it AUTOMATICALLY pops up info on previous employment with the company. And any hiring mgr with any brains would realize that it's way too suspicious that you forgot to mention you used to work for their company. They'd never call you back.
Hey I got hired on July 18, 2014 and my orientation is on 7/29 and 7/30. I want back into QFC. My position is cheese department. Cutting cheese, taste testing customer service it's fredmeyer store. How long do I have to wait till I can transfer to qfc? I was thinking a month or 3 weeks? Any experiances?
