I've been at Kroger since June of 2015, and I've been looking for something better to do with myself. I've decided I want to get into medical coding, and that I could either take a class and become certified or I could go through college (but, I'd rather do the class), but the class is expensive. My questi...

How long until it starts being a stability risk? Guess this is normal for the new year, but outside of full timers and myself (lucky me somehow), baggers and cashiers have less than 20 hours this week. Today, QueVision was at max 13, and we had 4 baggers for 13 lanes. Someone complained, or we'd only have...

Anyone in Cincy/Dayton know what the rules are for status 3? Like what happens if someone gets it but with the department there aren't enough hours for everyone. Say for example your department gets 140 hours and you have 2 full time status 1s. They get a total of 80 hours which leaves you with 60 hours fo...

I put a request in for changing my availability and whenever I try and go back in to double-check it, I get this message: 'ddlStartDate' has a SelectedValue which is invalid because it does not exist in the list of items. Parameter name: value Anyone else ever have this problem

My store does 50 grand in dry grocery every day, and we only have 4 employees that work at night on truck nights if they're lucky. 1 guy during the day. Store is always a wreck lol. What do you get to work with?

Did anybody else get these in their bakery department? They're suppose to be a Latin American/ Mexican dessert that's served on the Feast of the Epiphany (January 6th). They're similar in concept to a Mardi Gras King cake in the fact that there's a plastic figurine hidden inside the cake. The ones...

I don't have my handbook anymore so I can't really look it up. Anyways, i'm a very good worker and everyone in my department loves me. Today, I did something stupid and left an hour early because everything I needed to get done was done. After I clocked out, one of the customer service people asked me why I...

I get tired of hearing that line over and over. "Oh, you're off already? Lucky you. I wish I could go home at 2." And then every time, their attitude changes as soon as I tell them "You want my schedule? I come back in again at midnight tonight." People really need to just learn to app...

Morons..how about spending that money on your good people rather than the revolving door of quitters. It is a contract year so i'm sure we will get screwed at the same time.

I'm sure most stores have people that get a lot of it, so my question is, what's the most overtime over a year that you've seen people get? Our grocery backup gets a lot every year. He averages around $10k extra income from it annually, 12k this year. I thought I worked a lot and made about 9 extra.

Been with Kroger's for a year and I have been paying $2.50 for insurance a week. I haven't gone full time or added anyone but for 4 weeks it went up to $5 then it went back down to $2.50. I talked to the person who does payroll at our store and she said speak with the union rep which I did and she spits out some bul...

I've been on the grocery stocker night crew for years and I'm burned out on it and it has caught up to me with my health. I asked the store manager a few months ago if I could move to days and was turned down. ...

I don't know how scheduling vacations works for any other locations but at my store, we must go through the head store manager to have her mark the date we want on the vacation calendars. In early October 2015, I did just that because I wanted Halloween week off. Unfortunately I could not get that week of...

I'm filling in for someone as night cashier and it will be such a relief to not have to stop what I am doing to ring out a customer at our 24/7 store. Tonight was the worst one yet, 3:30am and people still coming in and needing register 1 open, only for 5 more idiots to get in line too. I'll get my cleaning done b...

I have a coworker who is always sick whenever she comes in. I've never seen her healthy..she's always coughing and complaining about some illness she got. Then she gives people hugs and we all get it. I'm not sure if she's doing it on purpose or is just being "friendly" with no regard for othe...

Stores in my area are (again, what a surprise!) hiring and have set up little unmanned hiring tables with information on what Kroger has to offer as an employer and how to apply. You know what's listed at the top on the pamphlets and little cards (for the first time)? Competitive Pay. Um... competitiv...
