Advice for new seafood lead
(Preview)
I start as the new seafood lead tomorrow. I basically think I have it all down, except for some technical things managers should know (inventory, signs, resets, etc).

Called ambulance at work? Possible repercussions?
(Preview)
So.... We have a customer, an elderly lady, whom has come in our store off and on for months. And when she's here, she begs other people for either money or for them to buy her food. She bugs everyone. Customers and associates alike. She would keep trying to pay with random garbage she found on the floor.....

Conditioners: The redheaded stepchildren of Kroger
(Preview)
I have been a conditioner at Kroger for a couple of years now. This was supposed to be a temporary second job for various reasons and I won't be doing this much longer, but the parade of stupidity I have seen is worthy of a finely crafted novel.

Store conditions
(Preview)
I've noticed in the last several months since I left Kroger that the store conditions are terrible. And the shelves have tons of holes and I rarely see the same employees two visits on a row. Is this the case everywhere now!?

I normally clock in right on time, (and I know the rule about 7 mins before / after the shift beginning / end), but, does it negatively affect me in any way to clock in a minute or two (or 5?) early?

Overnight grocery gets unlimited hours?
(Preview)
Not on the schedule exactly, but ever since I started it seems management doesn't give a **** how long you work as long as the job gets done. This will be my third week of pulling overtime even when my schedule only puts me at 20-32 hours. According to an old timer in grocery some weeks we can put 60-70 hou...

Theyve gave him the early opening hours like 5am and they've been mentoring him to be a department leader. My question is, are they allowed to do th...

What would you do in this situation-intoxicated customer
(Preview)
The other night we had a very intoxicated customer at one of our registers. We knew he was driving (had the car keys near the pin pad.) Do you call management, or your store security guard if one is on duty? We have been told to just let the customer go. What is Kroger's policy anyone know?
