Kroger Employee Forum

I know this is one of the perks kroger tries to push on customers to get them to come work for us. I saw a similar post at taco bell. First of all, minimum wage is hardly "competitive" and secondly why are they looking for great people to work when they don't have the hours to give out?

One of my managers jokes around and says all she learned about shoplifiting she learned in our store.

So I posted a while ago about our store finally posting 1 full time Deli Clerk position(to which I, and many others signed as well). Welp, long story short, heard from my DH(AFTER, he asked if I had signed it or not), that they were going to pick 4 people. Once again, based off seniority. And if that is the c...

When you're at work customers come first! Who doesn't get this? I'm standing there taking care of 5 customers, while one team member is frying chicken, another is on break and the fourth is on the floor chatting with coworkers. They look right at me seeing me serving these customers and don't budge. I h...

I know there's more to the Lead position than making sure temp logs are done, outdated items, mark downs, organizing the coolers, and the weekly clean up. 3 people came t...

I work in back of 733. Heard a loud, metallic, percussive boom this afternoon. Looked up front and saw smokey mushroom looking cloud. Belt on lane 10 was snapped and rolled up, compressor oil all over the place. Scared the hell out of the customers. Boom was heard by all in store. Lucky lane was closed at...

Six hours, actually, one-fourth of one day of the year, scheduled just before the Associate Insights Survey. After the One-Fourth of One Day of "Listening" to associates, management can go back to 364 3/4 Days of Ignoring.

currently 17 working in the front end for about a year and CANNOT STAND IT. Customers are rude and management sucks. Is there any possible way to get into another dept? Management recommendations? Typing up a safety plan how you will not use certain equipment?

So on my paystub this week I have Night Prem, and Night Prem 2. Night Prem 2 looks like it's what Night Prem was for the past year or so, with the proper YTD. But Night Prem, is actually docking me money. Does anyone know what's going on with this?
