I know that is definitely not possible with credit/debit cards. Every once in a while I get a customer with a mangled up old EBT card that's kept together with tape, or one that's so used, its magnetic stripe is practically almost faded away.

Is the higher starting pay helping hire or keep people in your store?

Can they get another one for free?

You can't for for losing in any job. You can do your job, others jobs, and please customers and they still have something to complain about. You can keep up your logs, make sure everything is shining, try to help other team members (so that they don't get in trouble or fired) and never get it right. You ca...

Working at a different kroger due to flooding, how can I stay here? My store was flooded and now I'm working at another one that's smaller but I really wanna stay here. I know my store manager won't let me go (has said several times she would never let me leave ) how can I stay here?

Mr Frontenac

Hell no. But what am I supposed to say to customers who think this is true, while being customer friendly. I can flat out say no, but they usually throw a fit.

Customers constantly complain, say prices are wrong, demand we change prices, bring in expired coupons and insist we double them. When they cheat us out of money the cashiers take all of the fall and those little thieves get away perfectly happy.

I've been at Kroger for only 2 weeks and it's my second job. My primary job can run 10-14 hours a day up to 60+ hours a week. When I hired on, I made it clear that I could work 4-5 hour shifts, 4-5 days a week, in a specific 9 hour time frame. They said it was no problem at all. Last Saturday when I got my schedule,...

I have worked for Kroger 15 years 7 on the front end... This is by far the craziest thing Kroger has come up with.

Titled Cashiering questions but most will probably end up being about ring tender. Decided to consult the internet since I get the sense that my supervisor/boss doesn't actually know what ring tender is. Other questions I've asked but have gotten mixed/unclear answers. Or I just haven't asked. my...

Looking at a website showing Kroger locations in Houston, there appears to be at least 17 to 20 locations in the metro area. (Correct me if I'm wrong). Anyone in the Houston area that can shed any light on what is going on with the stores around that area? It looks like some of the interstates are under wat...

Ours does. Every time they do, and I'm on break, I walk by and sample them.

How many is each store allowed to have and what does it take to become one.

So the Kroger I shop at most regularly has this thing in the early mornings where, all over the store but mostly over by the meat counter, there is the clear, heavy, and DELIGHTFUL aroma of frying bacon. Very smart business move, I have to seriously fight myself not to buy a package. What's the deal? I don...

how damn hard is it to get us grocery help? Our managers have no problem making sure the other depts have bodies. Not us. Meat shop has had around 4-5 new guys this summer. We haven't had a new hire in grocery all year that I can think of. If someone calls in sick we literally don't have anyone who can re...
