Since my injury earlier this month I've been back and forth with doctors, the workman's comp folks, etc. and I remain confused. I gave my 2 weeks notice the same day as my injury and I had 3 days on my regular schedule during the time I was off on medical leave. Today, I received a stack of papers from the wo...

I've been working as a bakery closer for about a month now and it's pretty awful. Just to give some background; this is a smaller, older store compared to others but it's in a growing town so it's pretty busy. The tables go empty very fast since there isn't much room. The bakery's freezer is filled to the c...

I always resort to passive aggression, because one, I don't like being in conflicts, and two, I'm afraid of losing my job for something like that. And it always happens when I least expect it. Like a customer asks for something in a nice voice, I try to help them in a nice way, and then boom, suddenly I'm be...

A while back I mentioned that our store was a green store as opposed to a red or yellow store. That meant we only had to take inventory in the deli and bakery once a quarter rather than every period. Well, it turns out the last inventory was so bad in the whole division that they're making the green stores...

A customer recognized me while I was shopping around, during my day off, and out of uniform. They asked me "excuse me, you work here right? Where can I find blah blah blah?"

I want to start one of these forums. I want one that for support. All I ever see on here is negative remarks. No one can say anything nice, positive or supportive. We are all employees of of Kroger Ralph's etc.. Where ever you go you're going to have to deal with something you don't like. So why not have some...

She is supposed to visit my store this week and I am wondering if you had the opportunity to ask her questions what would you ask her?

I sometimes get put into this situation lately cause it's been quite busy the past couple weeks since labor day. Like my shift would end at 9pm (store closes at midnight), and my supervisor has always said to shutdown the Uscan, and then they can go to the other lanes. I usually try to start the process 15...

I have been with Kroger over 4 years, and even though I asked during my hiring interview about experience pay, I was refused it.,but now I know I shouldn't have been because I have tons of years of experience pay, and others who have come in after me were given experience pay. I want to ask for it because it...

This info came from my Grocery manager. Then my request is given to my store manager from my lead. Is this how it's supposed to g...

When I started working for Kroger, (in July of this year) my job total was supposed to be for an overnight stocker. I recently logged onto expresshr, and it says that I'm an overnight/clerk or something to this effect. Our store closes at 11pm, so why is it saying this is my job description? Also, doe...

Okay, so I had my manager observe me I'm not quite sure if it was only me but I am pretty sure it had something to do with a customers comment. Anyone else know why observations come in I've been working at Kroger for a year now and I only smile they want me smile like I'm the joker and I can't do that sorry. ?

Luckily a supervisor was available to handle this situation involving a difficult customer of mine. But how would you handle this situation if a supervisor or a manager was not available? This is what happened last Sunday. This incident happened while it was busy, and there were several customers...

I'm not on the stock crew but someone told me that now they have to carry around a handheld device that keeps track of their time. Every time they have to stop stocking to help a customer or use the restroom or do whatever, they have to log it on this device. It sounds implausible but I actually saw a bunch...
