What is the Probationary Period timeframe? The concept is included in the Employee Handbook but it doesn't provide the length of time. (Store location is Dallas TX)

I got one of the 4 FULL TIME spots in the Deli!!!! Albeit, my DH was like since we are all essentially one dept. And even though we are getting in a new person to the bakery...He doesn't want to leave his bakery back up high and dry while we have the new person. So even though I'll be dubbed full time on the 23rd...

at every register there is a soda with a paper attached to it that reads , "If the cashier does not ask you about (name of the organization accepting the donations) this soda is yours for free) , when cashiers are asking about donations. Curious if it happens to be like this at every store .. ?

Has anyone ever worked / ran clicklist before? We are getting it at our store finally and I am going to be the front runner for the position. Is it difficult to run? How big is your store? Does it do a lot of business?

I'm new to Uscan, and yesterday was my first day on the thing. Do any of you have any tips for me? I learned the hard way not to give cartons of cigarettes to people at Uscan, cause a couple guys saw that I'm new and they pretty much stole them while they promised me they were going to exchange something at the...

I've been shown once, but that was it. All I remember for transferring items is sign in, click CAO, and scan the item, and type in your department number. There is a step here I missed. What you click after CAO I can't remember. All I remember for CAP is sign in, click CAO, choose inventory (I think) scan it...

Me and another guy are the only closers who seem to care about our bathrooms-the other closers who work when we are not there just don't clean them. How can we encourage everyone of our closing night people to do this? Usually when I come in the afternoon that is the first complaint I hear from a cashier an...

Can anyone give some tips on how to deal with anxiety at work when it comes to talking to people? I struggle badly with social anxiety. Don't get me wrong -- I have worked with the company for 6 years, and have many good relationships with regulars, so I know that I am capable of talking to customers. Bu...

I am constantly getting left with 1st shifts mess because they can't do their jobs. When I'm done it is almost perfect. Why do I bother, when 1st shift doesn't get told about it. No one gets wrote up anymore.

I've been working for Kroger almost a year , I always go to work on time but recently I have not. So today I called in, I had a 4 hour shift and I called in 5 hours prior to when I was suppose to come in. My manager said that he would find someone to cover my shift so I was like cool. He called me an hour prior asking c...

I'm attempting to apply for another job outside of Kroger. However, the job application requires that I give the last name of my supervisor. The problem is literally everyone in the store is on a first-name basis with each other. No one in the company knows I am searching for another job. Is there s...

At my store we're given around 12 hours a week. Once in a while we get 20+ hours. Around Thanksgiving/Christmas we were given more hours (I know it's because of the holidays). Even when school is out we get around 12 hours. I'm not complaining I was just curious if it's like this at different stores ...

Long story short I hurt my knee pretty bad the other day while playing football. I can barely stand on it let alone work product/put up a truck. I can't exactly afford to go to a doctor just for a doctor's note... I just need to stay off t for amother day or so... how do I go about explaining that?

Widell, D.

Last night a customer reamed me out for "arguing" with her and challenging her on a price. As far as I'm aware all I did was show up for work, greet her, start to scan her items. She rudely/harassively/ immediately quarreled with me about two items not showing up properly in the system. In an abusive r...

My store has been pestering me to become a Front End Manager for 3 years now, they like my work ethic and demeanor but with all of that being said, I can never really see myself in a managerial position. It just doesn't entice me. A long while back, I learnt the customer service desk and the fuel center when...

I understand that in the hand book given to all employees says that you have to have conservative hair color! What they really mean is bland, boring, and conformitive. This needs to stop!
