I've been working with my coworker for over a year and he won favoritism in our prior manager and he got placed into the closer position. He's one write up away from being fired. Despite the fact he thinks he's free from all the write ups the prior manager gave him. He shows very little if at all desire to i...

Unfortunately in my store (Local 1996 area) the top of the hour conditioning announcement is being made again. Is it still being broadcast in your store?

Our back room department backs up to the fire system area and for years the company kept turning that area into a storage area for miscellaneous things from other departments due to lack of room. I kept reporting it quietly with and without documentation over the years... Well, there's a new fire mars...

We used to get maybe 1-2 trucks several nights a week but lately it's been at least 3-4 every damm night. Logistical issues?

I've never before had a team with members who are so set into set preferential schedules and they don't realize how lucky they are to have it. If you've ever read the schedule writing rules in the union hand book you would understand this. I can tell you three have not. Most departments are rotating rand...

We had an issue last Monday night where I got halfway thru the order then she tells me it's Instacart. Had to void out the whole damm thing. There needs to be a limit of ONE Instacart per order. At my old store we had a FULL TIME employee just doing such orders. These people hold up regular customers some tha...

I see similar patterns and behaviors. Technology harassments, telling customers to misbehave, gang harassment, "secret" shoppers whom were bribed. I think I'm next. It's toxic and ongoing.

My coworker can be such a dick for his schedule. I've been in this gig a lot longer than you have and I highly suggest you read the schedule writing rules. I don't request a lot of time off but you don't need to be an a$$ hole when you see changes in your schedule. 1 this is getting old and 2 it disrespects your c...

Get truck on a holiday night. Get told not to stock the truck just condition and leave and we will still be paid for full 8 hours and holiday pay also? People are scheduled 11-8 and leaving at 1 and being told they still get 8 hours paid plus holiday pay. Normal attendance/holiday pay for us is you get the ho...

Our team has pretty much had it with our disrespectful lead and we're all job hunting or looking for other stores to transfer to. Next year he won't have a team. We're easily replaceable by kroger's standards. They need to think twice before disrespecting or harassing team members into quitting.

Please for goodness sake people stay home especially if you are very clearly sick. You contaminate your coworkers and then it spreads through the store then community. I'll have the holiday off now because I'm sick but I also didn't plan on being sick at the same time. So thanks, thanks a bunch jerk.

The secret shops are getting very annoying. They threaten 100 percent or else and it's getting old. My disability keeps making me miss marks on these things. I already filed multiple ethics reports on this subject in 2025 and if they make me try to sign anything I'm saying "No due do zero reasonable acc...
