I was recently hired at a Krogers in Ohio for produce. I was feeling pretty good about pay, because in my face to face interview I was told my 3 years of retail experience would boost me well above the starting rate of 8.15. "Probably 9.50 or even 9.60," were the exact words. Now: I worked for 2+ years at a W...

I talked to several customers and couldn't help them because we didn't have a specific brand product. Is there a way to order product through the gun? An example would be AtlantaFresh brand buttermilk.

I have been with Fred Meyer for about three months now. i work in the liquor department and I'm not a fan of it because I'm left alone for those nine hour shifts and when there's a lot of people in there I feel bad because I tend to call for help a lot or when I do they aren't around when I need it. I don't like that...

So got back from kroger after getting my orientation information. 9-1 Saturday. Mom mad because of that. She said I need to drive. I was like uh yeah I do. I need to practice. I don t have my driver's license. My family is going out of town over the holiday and I might have to work over the 4th of July week...

I've only worked at my kroger store for 3 weeks now and it is so unorganized and management is poor. Been thinking about switching to Walmart and quitting here. Just wondering how different it is if at all. I can't stand the lack of communication. I went to work yesterday and my manager didn't even know I...

Was curious to know if any one knew how much Kroger contributed towards an employee's workman's compensation if they got hurt on the job? I ask, cause I just learned the other day, that a fellow associate of mine that works in the frozen food section, took a nasty blow to the back of his head by one of the b...

Can I be fired for using price overrides? Often times I get customers, maybe 2 or 3 times a week, who come to my line saying "oh such and such was a certain price, your manager said I can have it for this price" OR sometimes they come with products that have that blue and white sticker on them. In the past, I'...

I work as an overnight grocery clerk stocking merchandise. I'm fairly new. The rf scanner was explained to me once, but I didn't have the best teacher. Can a kind soul please explain how to use it? I stock all the products on the pallets and we are instructed to leave product that does not fit onto the she...

We end up with bad loss and it isn't because someone isn't keeping up with the PPST, CAP, or other throw away. It is because an employee comes in while not on the clock and helps themselves. This person gets away with everything because they've worked their so long. The Lead and not even management will c...

So despite the fact that I've lurked here for a year being entertained by the "Kroger Sucks" stories, and can commiserate to a point, if I were to be perfectly honest, i love my job. No, I don't want to make a career out of being a Kroger cashier, and there's always going to be SOME bullcrap with any job. But...

Instead of showing it to you or even asking if they can scan it. I dunno about you, but it kind of makes me feel like chopped liver as a cashier and it's incredibly annoying when customers do that. Even had a couple other cashiers do it to me. Am I the only cashier who is bothered by that?

I'm becoming very frustrated with a particular manager assistant front end manager at my store. She's profoundly unpleasant in a variety of ways, and now she's even started skipping breaks in order to keep Quevision up. What are some good ways to cause problems for her, but not for other managers? Si...

What are the pros and cons of it?

I am not sure or I don't understand why this particular deal affected Kroger so much. Was Kroger a take over target for Amazon at one time?

Everytime they come to my line, they say absolutely nothing to me. Not a hi when I say hi, not a thank you when I say to them have a nice day. Just nothing. No eye contact either.

i am a cashier with thirty years and today I was graded by a backup in the front office and they said that I did everything right except I did not educate customers. I have never heard of this. Has anybody ever heard of this? I wanted to laugh out loud but I knew better. I know this came from corporate they ca...

So we officially have removed our no call-no shower co-worker from our dept. And myself and a few others were given her hours. More money yes, but more closing time too. Yay.

What gets on my nerves is the employees complaining about how Kroger sucks, their jobs, and other employees. Then turn around and brag about how long they've worked for the company and their seniority. The only ones who have the seniority to tell me my job are the Leads and managers. They only seniorit...
