Am sick, but don't need a doctor, because I have been to one before and got a prescription, but every once and awhile am too sick to work and need to stay home. Do I have to have a doctors note for just one day? I am with ufcw 1000.

I'm trying to work in Kroger and I have no idea what backroom position is like.

tl;dr: title. I work at a Kroger near Nashville and have been since last year. As a mixed clerk, I put every ounce of effort I possibly can into ensuring that the customer's experience is as smooth and efficient as possible. I don't like to brag, but I'm definitely one of the fastest baggers and cashiers...

A csm is harassing employees and if she doesn't stop I will make damn sure she regrets ever messing with the employees. I will turn her in ever chance I get. I will have corporate watching her as and her entire store like a hawk.

I began working for Kroger as a cashier on Apr 11 2017. Since then I have been trained in SCO( for about 2 weeks in July) and now I have been trained in customer service for about a week. In total I have been with the company for 3 months and would like to know if it's possible to be evaluated sooner than usual s...

I had a customer who was on her phone the entire time during her transaction, including after she paid. So I bagged her groceries in plastic, but she got pissy and said that she wanted paper. So how do you deal with customers like this, especially when they are still on their phone after paying?

I've been working for Kroger more than a year and I feel like I am always a target. First it was when I called in one day for my grandmother's funeral, my store manager said no you can't because it's a holiday weekend (Memorial Day) but when I got there I was just bagging folks **** , mind you my probation per...

So most people tend to hate the SCO.. My question is, for your store, is there one person in there the whole time, or are there multiple people? For my store, we tend to just switch out with who comes in after us, or management will switch us out with a CC if it gets too busy to handle.

When I was hired and eventually trained through the workshops or whatever they call them now, they kept dragging Walmart for just about everything. As someone who worked at a Walmart before coming to Kroger I thought it was just some weird propaganda thing they did, because when trained at Wally noth...

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)?
