Kroger Employee Forum

Mr Frontenac

Someone on this forum once told me that there is a performance report for all the cashiers who have used Uscan. Well, I didn't think my store ran such a report, till today when I found a print out hidden deep in the drawer at the attendant station. The report shows the performance up until the beginning of...

How do I make the phone goes to speakerphone on the receiving end. One of the FES did this once but they refuse to tell me how.

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...

Will be my 1 year anniversary at ol' Kroger. Which means I've earned my week off. And although it's already scheduled, if one of the managers is on today, I'll see if I can get them to make sure they can assist me/tell me what I can do with scheduling that week off if it doesn't show in my list of time off optio...

They got called up to do bagging. So I assumed they were doing bagger's duties, which would include taking back perishables, since the managers have been adamant about perishables being taken back immediately. There was no other baggers around. So I asked them, not even to take it back immediately...

to scan each one? And without having to transfer the order to the attendant station? For example.. those god damn koolaid packets.

So I just been notified from our division that we will do inventories on Tuesday and that we will have to count inventories for period 12 as well. Is it the same for everyone? I'm def not happy about doing inventory for period 12 that's for sure.

I want to transfer stores because mine is badly understaffed and I can't continue to work 30+ hours a week in a school week. Will they not allow me to transfer because they are already understaffed, or is it the other store's decision? Who do I talk to to begin the process? Thanks for any help!

Mr Frontenac

Who doesn't understand or doesn't give a **** about the equipment in question. Had a customer on Uscan, who had like 5 cases of water and some soda can packs. She didn't feel like lifting them up to scan them and neither did I. So she tells me to scan them using the handheld "thingie." I tell her that I don'...

There is this this guy that comes in the store regularly. He starts out by asking the cashier to pick a number between one and five. For this example the cashier chose 5. Then he tells the cashier to have the 5th customer after him choose to use the card on their order or save the card for a different custome...

Just wondering if it's normal to be paid the week after vacation? I'm a little confused about how vacation paychecks work.

Our front end is horribly understaffed. Its not an uncommon occurrence for four or five checklanes to be open and no baggers whatsoever. I am one of approximately 6 courtesy clerks in the whole store, and it is a marketplace store as well. Corporate decided now would be a great time eradicate the in-ho...

They came to me at the Uscan wanting to load a Kroger gift card for $400. So I scan the gift card and swipe it with the amount. They say they want to pay with a check. So they hand me their personal check with their signature but they don't write out the amount and they want me to print the amount on the check. I t...

In one week. That's how much overtime they are attempting to cut down from the Cincinnati/Dayton Division District 2 this week, compared to the previous week. And what did they have to say? "Welcome to the new world." I just want these suits to understand, we use this overtime because YOU need it, not b...

I keep hearing about the same managers over and over again. Everyone talks about how mean they are. They have a job to do. They are responsible in making sure you do your job. If you don't do your job, then managers pay for it also. If you want them off your back, do your job. You're not getting paid to play Ca...
