A couple weeks ago I put in a two week at dillons which is owned by kroger and in my last week they tried to suspend me for refusing to tuck in my shirt. A couple of months ago they ordered fitted polo shirts and didn't make anyone tuck them in because they were to short and they constantly came untucked whene...

So at my store this cashier who has been here only a very short time just got made a Front End Floor Supervisor and a while back there was another who was only there for a few months and then was one. This seems very weird to me. Is this something that happens often? Just curious cause it just seems like peopl...

The pharmacy that had access to the controls for the temp in our breakroom told us that they were "locked out" of it. Manager today said he went in with a thermometer and said it was OK-he said it was 78 degrees in there. Rumours are that the temps are controlled out of corporate. Is this happening to any ot...

Is this another BS customer-service type program? Instead of "Customer First" how about EMPLOYEE First?!? Take care of US and the rest will fall into place!!!

Yesterday when I was working at one of the express lanes, the current customer I was assisting left to get another gift card since the one he originally got was only for $25.00, and he wanted one for $50.00. So the customer who was waiting behind him asked me "Where did that customer go to?" I told him that...

A customer who came with her mom asked me to clean the belt before she unloaded her groceries today when it was busy.

Is it a good department compared to grocery ?

No, you dumb bitch. We want the Health Department to shut us down.

Mr Frontenac

How did they get angry? Was it because of something you did, or something they did? What did you say to them after they they got angry? Did they threaten you or intimidate you in anyway? Did they demand a manager? What did the manager do for them? Did the customer say anything about you to the manager?

Mr Frontenac

This time I made the mistake of thinking I could actually rationalize with the customer. His order was for a total of $19. He took out his bag of coins and started shoving them down the Uscan. Surprise, Uscan has jammed up and doesn't want to take anymore coins. Flags me down, "why this thing ain't takin'...

So I worked at Kroger during the summer last year and went on a LOA for school. Now it's about to be over, so I'm wondering if I just come in when it's over to talk to them or if they'll call me/update my schedule or if I need to call them...? How does this work??

What are the requirements to become full time at Kroger? I've heard it is a minimum of 1500 hours for the year. Is this true? If so, do they consistently schedule you a certain minimum of hours. At my store the minimum schedules for part time is 20. Even if they only schedule me the minimum of only 20 hrs eac...

Hey all! For starters, I just want to say that I love reading your posts because it lets me know I am not the only one in pain.

At our store we never have enough carts for the elderly or disabled, and the ones we usually do have their batteries drained and need recharging. That's because these young people, who are fully able to walk, are always taking them and joy riding in the store as they're shopping. It makes me wonder why s...

Mr Frontenac

So basically, they have one order of groceries and they're ready to pay. But instead of just giving you one set of cash for you to tender, they each have their own cash. And each of them want their own change back, because they only want to take a certain amount of their cash. Let me give you an example. Orde...
