We have these little sticker boards where we are supposed to get awarded for good things but being stuck in express check out hell I rarely get them because the front end avoid it like the plague. To me this just sounds lik...

Then I said they probaly didn't hear you with that loud radio. He sad they have a radio? He got on the PA and said. Produce come to the huddle and...

Some customer ordered 30 cases of Ozarka (which is a water we very rarely have in stock) so I went to look for some for him, found some and loaded them up onto a 6-wheeler (because there's no way I'm pushing a ****load of carts for one order) I wait in line with him to check out, and even load them into his truc...

I have been at Kroger for almost a year, I started out as a courtesy clerk and have moved up as a cashier. Here are the "Good, Bad and the Ugly" I have found while working checkout. The Good I meet lots of very nice people and unique people. I get a good feeling from being able to help others. I have sometimes...

I work at QFC in Washington and I want to know if it would be reasonable to get another job part time and keep this job part time for the health insurance. How many hours a week do you have to work to have insurance? I liked my old store I worked at, but I moved and switched to a store I can get to and I just really d...

I just started as a cashier and I'm not sure if I'm processing bottle slips correctly when the customer just wants to cash them. I scan the bottle return slip(s) -> press total-> a negative amount shows up ex. [-3.30]-> type in 330-> press cash-> drawer opens and I give the customer the...

Why can't it be so simple as stocking product to the shelf? Why do we need all these time wasting scans (such as batch maintenance and lows & holes)? I can understand scanning residual backstock and changing balances on holes to zero when the product isn't there, but everything else just seems unn...

I work in clicklist as an attendant, and sometimes the managers and supervisors do not close. Normally this turns out fine because the marshal (woman that answers the phone and does paperwork) is usually very capable and easygoing. But lately, there has been another marshal who likes to act like a su...

How much worse can this company get? It seems like they expect so many tasks finished by 9 AM, Fresh Kitchen ran, lows and holes scans, backstock scans, truck broken down, cooler 5 Sd, dept filled and ready for business. All of this, while sending relief help up front. Don't know how much more I can take....

Used to get 36, even 40 hours. Now next week I'm down to 32. I've only been here a couple months. Is this normal? So should I look forward to be cut down to 20 hours?!

I have been left to close the department by myself for the 6th or 7th time in the last couple months, because of call ins and others are too busy or too tired to show up or work longer. Isn't it the Lead/Department Heads job to replace that person so that they don't leave their team stranded? I'm one person a...

Just for me to vent: Grumpy old fart comes into my checklane with a cart full of stuff. I greet him and start scanning, and ask him how his day was. We have the new setup where the cashier unloads the cart, scans it, and sends it down the conveyor to a bagging area. Most customers are nice enough to bag for you...
