  Welcome To The Kroger Employee Forum

    The purpose of this forum is for Kroger employees (present, past or pondering) to share and discuss their views on company policies, practices or any pertinent issues.  Non-Kroger topics are also welcome.

RULES! -  

-- DO NOT SPAM OR ADVERTISE --
      If a topic is posted multiple times, I.E. more than twice, I will either merge the topics into a single thread or outright remove them; this depends on the topic or method used to post and is handled on a case-by-case basis. We want a forum where topics can be discussed and found in a clean way. Advertising is not acceptable and clutters our forum. If you spam or advertise (I.E: cbd oil, dating, essay writing services, ect.) you will be banned -- instantly. Neither will be tolerated. We will, in addition to banning you, file a complaint with your ISP if you advertise illegal services such as essay writing, fake documents/passports/ect.

DO NOT POST REAL LIFE INFORMATION
      People's personal information is taken very seriously around here. We don't want your co-workers or manager to find your posts and track you down. I make a good faith effort to remove and inform people about this type of thing when it comes up. If you must post things about your fellow employees, managers or customers be vague. You can vent or praise things about them but don't point them out in a crowd.

 TRY TO BE RESPECTFUL/ DON'T EXPLICITLY HARASS OTHERS
      I don't strictly enforce this rule as much as the other two but if it happens on a very consistent basis I'm not against removing it. Giving people nicknames is not against the rules but if you're giving them derogatory names in an effort to belittle them I will take action. I've done so in the past and will continue to do so in the future. You don't have to be nice but we'd really appreciate it if you were.

 PROFANITY, VULGARITY, and PORNOGRAPHY

  Kroger you suck! I did not think there would be a day I would need a dr note for my shoes! yes shoes!

March 23, 2024

I didn't use to mind kroger even sucked them up when they did some really half-@$$ed things but they're sort of crossing a line where I now need a dr note for slip resistant shoes. All because they're forcing shoes  for crews merchandise. I tried them a long time ago and my feet just hated them. I'm getting hara---ssed by our hr rep (seem to be singled out) about not having shoes sold from shoes for crews. Now I have to get a bloody dr note for my damn shoes. I'm sorry kroger but that one is going too far. Shoes for crews does not work for my narrow feet and they do not sell narrow shoes. 

  Dumb ass causes bigtime shrink

March 12, 2012

I had to dry mop a small mess because the frozen case was leaking. Two of the mop buckets were filled with damaged product. The reason they were filled is because there is a total idiot on the grocery crew with a don't-give-a-**** attitude to boot. Another guy on the grocery crew helped me empty one of them out, and after he scanned out all of the damaged product I found out that over $50 worth was no good. All that over one or two of the items that were damaged in the case. And this idiot has been here for a while and will probably still be instead of being fired.

  Anyone who work pharmacy can you help me?

May 12, 2024

So Im going to school for pharmacy technician and I should be starting my clinical next year. I was trying to see if Kroger allows internet training before or during the program and if so how many hours and if I could used Kroger as an experience for my resume/ clinical rotation form? Could I talk to one of the pharmacy leads about it or what??

Also where do you go to take an educational leave? Who do I talk to to where can I fill a form out?

  cashier suspended but it wasn't their fault

March 10, 2024

A Kroger Cashier was suspended after a customer used a family memeber's kroger card which had the employee discounts, It was NOT the cashier's kroger card or employee discount, and it was NOT the cashier's fault. She is suspended until the Union makes a decision to fire the cashier or let them continue to work. I have seen this happen many times and nobody has ever said anything until now.

How does everyone feel or think about this?

  Bullying

April 14, 2024

Unfortunately Im not going into too much details but its been an ongoing problem since I started working in Grocery and these two girls have been entirely into bullying me about my hair ( black American women) (I am also a black American woman) from it being in its natural puff or Afro or if I get braids or anything . Of course their supervisor knows and has reported and has got on them numerous times but they still go back and bully.  We dont have a SM due to our SM was fired ( rumors had it sue to stealing money) but I did put in a report to ethics which someone told me to do but if thats doesnt work can I report them above like law enforcement or something? 

  Kroger doesn't care. Our department has been garbage for months and they spoof it up for corporate.

May 10, 2024

Our department, is short staffed, high turn over, over worked staff, cut hours (not one person is f.t.) and management grumbles about sh---it not getting done. Load orders mucked up and often shorted on product because no one knows how the f* to place an order..... After 5 months of our department looking like sh--it corporate comes in this week and they "spoof it up" with a fast sweep and "get it up to standards". Dear corporate: you get a **** show fantasy view of your stores then it goes back to s---hit after you leave. cr--ap like this is why employees have stopped caring.

  kroger horror stories!!?

May 15, 2017

looking for any ridiculous stories or experiences that you or a friend have had with working at krogers. my managers were insane and terrible i just want to see how many other kroger workers had unbelievable experiences working there.  

if your interested in mine i have plenty but my favorite is when my deli department head, was standing in front of the computer and phone area, as she always was, and i was making sandwiches, the phone rang, right in front of her while she was doing NOTHING as usual,  and this woman literally turns to me and asks me to answer it. i thought it was a joke but she was so serious. that sums up my whole experience working with her tbh
