Should the baker be able to bake all the bread, make the donuts, bag all the bread, put away the frozen food order, and do the breakout for the next day all in 7 1/2 hours? ( that's an 8-hour shift minus two 15-minute breaks)

Our department already short on staff... Our lead was forced on fmla for 12 weeks. Highly doubtful he will return upon completion. So, until then we get to be short staffed running on coal fumes and have to wait for corporate to decide if he will be able to return to work or not. So for the next 2 friggen mon...

How much is too much? Coworker requests shift swap every week. Generally I don't mind if the individual is reliable as I've been on the short end of the stick a few times. I don't mind to a degree. I have a few coworkers that want to change shifts almost every week. If they are reliable and I am not doing anyt...

Our store recently had a cleaning of employees with shaky work histories. Several of with I've worked along side with 8+ years. These people did their job duties very well and they eventually got them on some sort of technicality. Just because you're in the union does not mean you're 100% safe. It just...

The old system you use to be able to view them from the server and now you can't. I'm not always on a computer I wish to download my pay stubs to (ie the company computers, public computers at libraries or even on a tablet) that doesn't allow downloads. How the hell do you view paycheck stubs without downlo...

Hi Everyone, Anyone here work for Kroger back in the 1991 - 1993 timeframe? If so, do you remember listening to P.O.P. Radio/In-Store Broadcasting Network? What did you think of it? Also, do you know of any tapes that exist that your store played in P.O.P Radio's special cassette player? Regards, Kro...

Due to my time mucking up the schedule again I'm going to have to call out a couple times in April for appointments that are non-reschedulable and a few events I can not miss as well. I really, really, really don't give a f* with this company any more. Oh, if you people are not willing to work with my schedul...

The other day I had a customer scold me about one station being out of twist ties. We only get in so many and had zero in the back. Made an incredibly rude comment about it and was annoyed when I told him we didn't have any more in the back. Please don't be this person. Even though he was able bodied he refused t...

You're loosing staff left and right to being short staffed and enduring toxic environments. You can't keep staff long term because of the horrid pay. Your company is enacting fantasy environments from the office that do not work with the real world and if we don't comply you start writing us up. Your...

Our store manager decided to take on a position at the office district. The company sort of screwed her over with a temporary position but didn't tell her that.

This has always been a bit confusing: If you decide to swap shifts with another coworker. You show up for their shift but they fail to show up to yours. Who is responsible? According to my time the shifts would be completely swapped. The shift originally assigned would now be swapped with another cow...
