So I don't know if it's a new policy that's being enforced all over or if it's just in my area (I know it's not just my store), but yeah, front end supervisors are no longer allowed to check. If it gets busy, they are required to call other departments to come up and surge check rather than get on themselves....

Our new Assistant Store Manager just told us SHE doesn't have to pay us if we're not wearing a nametag. ??

At my store today we had an open house, with all sorts of corporate types walking the store for a few hours. We've been driven crazy with extra cleaning and stuff to do for this and several corporate people themselves have been helping to get things ready. Very little to no overtime has been allowed an...

I've noticed that overwhelmingly, the amount of people who order ham salad at the deli are all old people. Once in a while you see someone under 60 ordering it, but not often. Whenever an older person walks up to the chef case I know that they're going to be ordering ham salad and more often than not I'm rig...

Hours are so low on the front end at my store that one employee didn't get any hours this week, but was placed on call. This employee has been calling everyday to see if they are needed and they get told no everyday, that we don't have the hours. I could see this if sales were low, but were busier than ever....

I'm a newly assigned CO just a few weeks out of training, up until this point everything has been really good. Time at corp and my training store were great. Training SM was fantastic and totally engaged with customers, as was the whole organization. Now where I'm at it's the complete opposite. SM sp...

I just got my open enrollment packet for health insurance. However the only option for me is Part-Time HMO Kaiser. I am Full-time as of May 16, 2015. Who do I need to talk to about getting the Full-Time PPO Blue Cross/ Blue Shield? Another unrelated question, I've been told I have to wait 6 months after...

I was unloading my cart and told the cashier I needed cigs. He told me to go get them and just stood there. I kept unloading my cart and he called down to register 2 and asked the cashier down there to bring him the cigs. I finally walked down there to get them myself and that cashier said they were out. I t...

Does any other division do this crap like Cincy/Dayton does? Every time you get someone in the store that people actually like they get the bright idea to switch them around. I've only had my manager for less than a year and they're sending her to another store, ie "a bigger and better store"...

For the last 9 months or so, we've had a whole new management team. The new Store Manager has a reputation for cutting hours. Well with the holidays coming up, not only has our store not hired any extra help, they've cut hours even though we're heading into the busiest time of the year. Hours on the fro...

I got injured on the job. They may find a small amount of Marijuana on my system. Will I get fired? Can I ask for a new test?

I work in Drug/Gm and have been made to hang tags for our department. I have made it clear that I do not want to work those type of hours (usually 10p-6a or 12a-8a), but I am just told because no one else is fast enough or good enough at hanging them that I have to do it. Why should I be punished because I am good...

Is it OK for a Krogrr store to use the break room as a storage space and dumping ground for, for example, broken down electric carts? Bulletin boards with posted information are in there, but associates can't get much closer than five feet away due to the permanent presence of sample carts, display rac...

I don't know if anyone else has it in their stores, but it's basically where we package up deli meat we slice in the morning in bags and put it out in a case for customers to get so that they don't have to stand in line if they don't want to. It has to be done within 2 hours. On weekdays it's fine, we usually get i...

WOW do a lot of the Kroger co managers around my town seem.........well, I'll list my observations: 1. STRESSED. I mean, red faced looks like a massive heart attack is imminent. 2.

I work on the front end, and our store recently got a new CSM. Our old CSM had her faults - we all do of course - but she was, on the whole, sweet and very laid-back. She didn't really enforce rules more than the bare minimum. For example, a couple times I had walked in 10-15 minutes late with no notice, said so...
