Real question. We're dealing with more and more aggressive and *******-ish customers as time goes by, and I've been packing pepper spray and a tazer. I'm a U Scan attendent and a LOT of folks want to vent their frustrations in life on me. So. If I have to defend myself, am I covered?

My 2019 goals at Kroger (as a customer) 1) clog the toilet on purpose with lots of poo and paper towels 2) go out on a date with the checkout gal in aisle #4 (blonde) 3) figure out the store's stockroom landscape and stay overnight without getting caught 4) hit on the deli manager (also blonde) while datin...

But here's the kicker. They don't understand a single thing you're saying and think you're overcharging them. See, I had this old lady here at my Uscan. She voided something she didn't want. And as she was giving it to me, I noticed that she voided the wrong item. So I correct that and ask her to also give m...

Any here can explain it to me a little? Says next job step is 500, so does that mean I wont get anymore raises when it rolls over to 500? No raise every 6 months or even yearly?

I got into a dispute with a pic very recently over my refusal to accept extra hours even though I had an emergency. I was sent home early (ironic right?) for insubordination because I was asked to do a task that was not in my jurisdiction that would have had me stay after to complete. I'm very nervous becau...

Every year for the last decade, I've received a form in the mail at the end of the year asking what level of insurance I want, if any at all. This year I got nothing. I didn't have kroger insurance in 2018, but you'd think they'd still send the form. Do I need to call the insurance and opt back in?

Does anyone else have trouble with people not changing the bag of dishwashing liquid on the 3-compartment sinks? There's only one other person besides me who will change it. It's been empty for over a week and both of us say we're not doing it this time. It's about time someone else learned how.

This coming February 2019, will mark the 10 year anniversary that I was employed by Kroger. I worked for Kroger for 1 year and left on good terms per management. The only problem is, I was never supposed to be hired. Here is my story. In January or February of 2009, I applied online for Kroger listing sev...

Do I have to sign up for online access to w2's and is it free. when will it be mailed out? I'm afraid it will go to the wrong address. Don't know if I change my address in express he if that is enough time for them to send the w2 to the right address.

Management seems to like to make people clean up and do reshop and other stuff when their shift is over, which is the same time the store is closing. And customers are rushing cause it's christmas eve. Do you all stay and help out and get the extra overtime or do you gtfo?

When I worked retail and we re-opened the day after Christmas, people would be lined up gang deep to get in, acting like they had to piss gallons and we'd been blocking the bathrooms! Then they'd swoop into the place and loot the shelves like they'd never been in a grocery store before

I was shopping at wal mart today and saw little shelf tags that said "temporarily out of stock" stuck next to the item upc just like we do at kroger. Who started this practice, us or them? Theirs were less noticeable, seemed to be more helpful to employees than customers (ours are bold, blue).
