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...

I am employed with King Soopers and have been for a little over a year and a half. Before that, I "worked" for Walmart for a year, then after a long unemployment period, Target, before finally ending up in the Kroger Co. As a bakery clerk, I was started out doing 8-4:30 shifts, which is typically the "mana...

I have been with Kroger for 30 years, and I work on the night crew stocking. I went in at midnight this morning, and they told me that the grocery manager walked out yesterday, and the grocery backup called in sick!!! So, I was in charge for the night, and co-manager gave me the keys to the kingdom. I hav...

Hi guys my department manager has taken like 10 personal days and has been paid for them. How the hell do they give personal days to people who call out everyday. Oh yeah and the department is in a time of need with all the holiday supplies. How many personal days are people allowed to have per year

It's my first November at kroger and I can see the manager is already ordering entire pallets of stuff like brown sugar to prepare. When do the sales start picking up? I've heard from others in grocery once it hits I might be facing 60-70 hr weeks. I already do a minimum of 40 hrs with sometimes 45-50 becau...

For the past few months a young "kid" in our department has been getting preferential treatment by our department leader and old timers in the department. 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...

In my handbook, if it says an employee fears that they will be assaulted or immediate threat of assault to call 911, and then notify loss prevention, and thats all the employee handbook says, but this handbook is older. what do other handbooks say? , is there anywhere online where a kroger handbook can...

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?

I applied online for a job in early 2009 and was denied due to my background check. I actually got a letter in the mail from corporate stating this. I was unhappy with this result so I went to the store I applied at and walked up to the customer service desk and told the black hunchback of notre dame guy I want...

Ive been thinking about how many people were hired after me and have since left and the number i have come up with is: 14. In 5 years. This isn't including the three department heads who either retired, or were transferred to another store. And its possible i could be forgetting someone too. So is this a n...

Can anyone help me out understanding my union contract regarding qualifying for full time?

Do they ever help your dept with the monotonous tasks or are they off doing their own thing? Do the head/backup work side by side every day or do they understand that sometimes you have to do what needs to be done to make the store look good? Does it take both to do the schedule? At our store it does. 2 peo...

Does anyone know what the company loss prevention rules are for short-change? Here's the scenario: About a week ago I had a customer buy some things that came up to 10.71. I told her the amount. She dug in her pocket and pulled out a wad of cash which was a 10 and a 1 rolled up inside the 10. So I said that is 10...

I work in a big Kroger store, I think one, if not the biggest in the Mesquite, TX, and possibly Dallas area. Our seafood case is probably a good 15 feet long, never actually measured. The meat service case is just as big. And there are only two people working seafood. Been this way for at least a couple year...
