Has anyone in other areas of Kroger heard about this? I told my FES that "hell no I am not paying"-I will wear the old tired worn out one I have had for several years. I would like a new one (I asked for two) and I told her this company is making billions a year and they can't afford to replace our apons?!? That'...

This lady comes in getting all loud because her EBT card funds were not loaded. She was so loud yelling. Y'all a bunch of cracker honkey ass bitches. The manager escorted her out. 5 or ten minutes later she is back saying she called and the funds were there. She was mad because we started putting items ba...

I found out that a couple of co-workers got suspended for just a few days. It got me curious as to how the whole process goes. Can anyone help me out here?

I have never heard of this type of situation happening where an FES was "asked to leave" (as it was told to me tonight) our store but was NOT outright fired. There WERE a lot of complaints about how he wrote our schedules though.

whats the best dept to work in

Sensational Sam

Noticed through personal experience your coworker ladies are open to being asked out during Thanksgiving week. They tend to be extra pretty too. I've whistled at (cat called) the hot ones at work (and customers) and they like it. It's like a scene out of the movie Ted.

We have a 'volunteer sign up sheet' to work Thanksgiving. And yes, I do know that they can STILL schedule you EVEN IF you don't sign up. Therefore I wrote that I would ONLY be able to work a 9am-1pm shift ONLY (as I have FAR MORE important plans that day later on). So who is working? Can they force you to work b...

Can you request like a week of unpaid holiday leave? Or is this frowned upon. -- Edited by partyparrot on Sunday 17th of November 2019 02:00:04 AM

In the grand scheme of things that is probably the LAST issue Kroger needs to be worried about. How about more hours, better store staffing, getting rid of managers that harass employees for starters?!?

Just wondering!

I'm starting to think Kroger only hires fat women in the deli. That's a form of shape-ism. The fatter you are, the more likely you'll get the job.

So here's a fun thing I heard from a department head yesterday. Lately my pickup department has been getting more and more people and our schedules have been suffering, it's mostly just 4 or 6 hour shifts. Barely any 8 hour shifts anymore, Everytime I asked about it I was told oh next week we'll have more...

The burning question

Timmy7337 · Timmy7337

Hello, I'm new here. Just trying to get a concensus. Not sure how many dept heads are on here. The holidays are coming up fast and I feel like the demands from corporate are completly unreasonable. I work really hard. I'm doing 6 days and and at least 9 to 10 hours a day. Now it's becoming closer to 12 hours a...

I haven't been scheduled in weeks, but I had a vacation scheduled next week and I got paid for it. I asked the managers, but they're being incredibly vague about it and won't give me real answers. I talked to the union about it and their only solution was to bump people, but I don't think it's a viable solut...

I was hired to work in Clik list (not the front end!). I took this job because I know my limitations..that I am unable to tolerate being watched and stared at by long cashier lines. From day one the clik list dept head was rude, condescending, humiliating. It seems every dept in the store finds her impo...
