So the fuel center closes at 11:00, when the pumps shut down, but the lights shut off at 11:57 and that's when I hit "end shift" and started counting up my till. A customer came up at 11:58 wanting gas, but I was already closed and had to decline. Now she called the store manager and he says that I...

Hey guys, So I see on many of these posts that a lot of you work in Kroger stores that are part of the union, with pay that is lower than minimum wage or just bad. Does anybody else work at a Smith's? I don't know if it's like this everywhere, but the pay scale at our store is awesome... Baggers start at $8.25...

I'm in a tight spot here. I've been sick as a dog, coughing so hard that it's strained my back. Last night while breaking down pallets I managed to make it so much worse. I've hurt my back before at home and had to miss a week of work. Now I've been told I'm in for a drug test and may have to be let go for missing to...

Hey guys, the name's Josh. I am currently the night crew supervisor on my freight crew at a Smith's. I've been throwing freight since I was 17, started before even graduating high school; I'd work at night, then go home and shower, then off to school. I'm 19 years old, almost 20. Now that you've got a bit o...

I went to my store on my day off yesterday to pick up a prescription, but since my new doctor is closer to the store I got there before it was ready. Since I had a few minutes to spare I went over to see what was going on in the deli. Wish I hadn't. I see that the lady who opened was in a grouchy mood and the lady do...

I am pretty sure the answer to this is no but I want some more opinions on this. Basically I have a few coworkers that are well below me on seniority and they are starting to request days off a couple weeks out from now. If they are given those days off I will be forced to work their shifts as I know what the peop...

So we have a guy at work who just came out as gay. So now it's a big thing And the talk of the store. He was called upstairs and management said he cased a distrubance and if the commotion does not die down He can get fired. Everyone said they cannot fire him because of what others are saying. Can they?

New person working in nutrition. When you are doing markdowns, how many days beforehand would you markdown the organic milk, cheese, yogurt? For instance since today is the 9th of April and the milk goes out of date on the 20th of May...when do you start marking down. Help!!!

I'm trying to get the day off for a military function but my food manager says that I must have a note and it's all last minute and she says that if I don't come to work I am refusing to work and I'll be fired.

The only thing I can find in the Union book states that I can occasionally work day shifts, while maintain my night pay (not talking night premium). They have me coming in at 4am, which isn't as bad as when I was coming in at 11pm-12am, but I'd still like to not have to work 5 days at that hour. I've heard I can...

I've been working at Kroger for only about 2 weeks now. I like to think I do a good job. I don't talk back to bosses, I'm nice to both coworkers and employees, and I do checking, bagging, and closing. However the past few days my work environment has been HELL. We have a supervisor who acts like she's a dicta...
