I believe if Kroger drop mandatory drug test for new hirees, they might be able to attract better potential employees as I read a lot on this board how Kroger having trouble hiring good workers. I know a lot of people in service industry that do smoke doobie on their time off, and they are very productiv...

Especially wine. It used to be that way when I was first hired in my store.

So I posted a while ago about our store finally posting 1 full time Deli Clerk position(to which I, and many others signed as well). Welp, long story short, heard from my DH(AFTER, he asked if I had signed it or not), that they were going to pick 4 people. Once again, based off seniority. And if that is the c...

Any dept. heads here feel stuck, like you want to get out, but don't want to give up and/or can't because of the pay cut? That's me now. I don't *regret* going to the training to become a dept. head but nothing has gone right and it's not what i was hoping for and expecting. My own thoughts and doubt and anxie...

Widell, D.

Last night a customer reamed me out for "arguing" with her and challenging her on a price. As far as I'm aware all I did was show up for work, greet her, start to scan her items. She rudely/harassively/ immediately quarreled with me about two items not showing up properly in the system. In an abusive r...

I know this is one of the perks kroger tries to push on customers to get them to come work for us. I saw a similar post at taco bell. First of all, minimum wage is hardly "competitive" and secondly why are they looking for great people to work when they don't have the hours to give out?

I am constantly getting left with 1st shifts mess because they can't do their jobs. When I'm done it is almost perfect. Why do I bother, when 1st shift doesn't get told about it. No one gets wrote up anymore.

Six hours, actually, one-fourth of one day of the year, scheduled just before the Associate Insights Survey. After the One-Fourth of One Day of "Listening" to associates, management can go back to 364 3/4 Days of Ignoring.

currently 17 working in the front end for about a year and CANNOT STAND IT. Customers are rude and management sucks. Is there any possible way to get into another dept? Management recommendations? Typing up a safety plan how you will not use certain equipment?

I was told last week that I am being trained for the Lead. I have been doing what I was trained to do so far, but have had no more training. I know there's more to the Lead position than making sure temp logs are done, outdated items, mark downs, organizing the coolers, and the weekly clean up. 3 people came t...

So on my paystub this week I have Night Prem, and Night Prem 2. Night Prem 2 looks like it's what Night Prem was for the past year or so, with the proper YTD. But Night Prem, is actually docking me money. Does anyone know what's going on with this?
