Having food handlers permit is required in some states or cities. So, it is also necessary to check with the department of health in the city or state to know if such is the case in the city where you are seeking for the employment.
Are there really deli workers making soup from scratch? We don't make soup in ours so I'm assuming it comes prepackaged and they just heat it . So how are they supposed to make the soup less peppery? Suck out the pepper with a straw ?
"Delicacies"????? Not quite the correct word to use when discussing Kroger deli department, in my opinion. This isn't a French restaurant! There is something vaguely odd about that "Job description'. Where did you get it? It sounds like something that might have been used 40 years ago when employees had more time to devote to their job, as far as using their creatitivity, etc, but today's Kroger deli is much more superficial paperwork-oriented, as prescribed by the ding-dongs in upper corporate.
He/she must "inform the inventory manager" when stuff is running low??? One of the duties of the deli dept head is to go around and actually SEE what is getting low, and order accordingly.
Also, the deli dept is almost NEVER "neat and tidy".........who has the TIME to keep it "neat and tidy" ??? ......... when we are running on a skeleton crew, customers are waiting in long lines, the chicken is over cooking in the deep fryer, the phone is ringing, a temp log needs updated NOW, piles of boxes need to be put on the shelves in the cooler, the expense cart hasn't been emptied, the dishwasher needs de-limed, the floor is slick and we have to watch our step, the chicken "hen house" on the sales floor wasn't wiped down properly last night and looks dirty, some of the salad bar tongs are dirty and need to be re-washed, etc etc etc.
Haha, that looks like a wish list, rather than current job requirements. Or as a poster above me said, something from times long gone. When grocery clerk was a profession.
Among other things, nowadays you can NOT require people to work "speedily". That would be "harassment" haha.
Not to be rude, but is this the actual job description they provide for what a deli clerk does at your store or during the interview? Dude every time I tried to look into what all the bakery was doing before I applied. I kept getting the generic run around about All associates assisting with baking, preparing, fresh breads etc. And then talking about floral and other stuff. But never nothing in detail.

I got it from the Kroger website, describing the Deli Clerk job description. You have a dish washer and salad bar? We are considered a high class Kroger and we don't have those!!!!! We wash dishes by hand!

Harassment for asking you to do what you're paid to do??? Customers want you to be fast. They don't want to wait because you're having a 10 minute conversation with another customer.

Not that I know of, but it's the job description I found on the website!!

That would be the automaticdishmachine in all (if not most) Kroger delis that are mostly used to wash the aluminum or hard plastic standard size sheet pans (used mostly by bakery and chicken shop), and other assorted metal and plastic pans and containers of various sizes and types, as well as serving utensils. Not normally needed for real "dishes" since there are few dishes (as in plates, bowls, saucers or other eating ware that would be encountered in a restaurant situation) used in most Kroger deli depts.
My Kroger has a salad bar. (I think Only some of the larger Kroger stores do). And it is a huge pain because of insufficient help and no time to keep it looking fresh and inviting for customers!
My home store has a dishwasher in the deli, but the store i'm at now doesn't. All 3 stores i've worked in though have had a salad bar, and one was a tiny store.
There's no way that deli clerk description is accurate in any store at all though.
That appears to be one of the HUGE NUMBERS of half-way phony websites that have been created for only one purpose: to encourage clicks (click bait). Look along the top subject heading "buttons", they actually take you to an ad, and the entire page is PEPPERED with gobs of other links to ads. I think they have copied and pasted some text from other sites..........
but hey, all you Kroger courtesy clerks, make sure you read YOUR "job description"!!!!!!

Yea, we have a dishwasher in both the deli and bakery. And for sure use them daily but it's only a few associates that know how to keep them clean and running like they should.
As for a salad bar, there is one across from chicken shop, but it's ran by the Produce peeps.
