At the location I work at we received training several months ago addressing the many complaints the front-end coordinator, who is over an area of stores including the one I work at, received. She has a certain way she wants the front-end to run regarding our checking out our customers. Here is what we...

I do not want to turn this thread into a bash fest but let's have an open and honest discussion revisited about minority customers. I was hired almost five years ago and very few came into the store. Now with more of them in the area, incidents of shoplifting, harassment of cashiers and customer service...

Not all items are appropriate for this-sometimes it is much better to fill the bag up and let it go. Why all this emphasis about "build a wall" bagging all of a sudden?!? It's really being pushed in my store-tips on how to deal with it?

Overheard a manager saying that more will be expected due to the higher pay rates. Manager in my store making rumblings about cutting hours to the 12 hour union minimum if we don't "give more" performance to the store. I just do the job I was trained to do. I am not here for the customer's emtertainment an...

How might I find out the title and artist for a song that is played in a local Kroger affiliate (from the in-store audio network)?

I mean are there tangible results, like the issue was investigated and improved, or witnesses were questioned, or some sort of positive result? Who actually conducts the investigation, if it has to do with employees at the store? does it go to store management? trying to decide if should report to it...

Kroger is not an equal opportunity employer they so claim to be. You will go far in the company if you are a) male b) a favorite or c) Caucasian. Kroger is gender bias to a high degree. Don't believe me? Ask my 7+ years of experience with the company where they refused to work with me because of my disabi...

I work with a courtesy clerk who can not handle the real world. It takes very little to offend her. Apparently sending the items down the check stand belt is too much fore her. She politely snips that "I got this." or " . . . too much." If I see a courtesy clerk at the other end and they want to bag I'll gen...

OK So we get customers who call in their orders ahead of time. I Love these customers, because I can prepare what they want without them standing there waiting. We don't put the price stickers on because customers will grab the orders and walk away. We then don't know if it was the customer who ordered it...

I among a few others at my store was chosen by our store manager to become part of the customer first promise team. At first I thought it was just a bunch of nonsense like many other things but it is more about changing the morale of customers and associates so I am at least optimistic about it. The meeting a...
