i know all of this is in the new hire packet, and it was all covered in orientation, but what is the policy for calling off? Can you get in trouble? I don't want to walk to work in a thunderstorm, and quite fortunately I don't feel like being at work later. How many times can you call off in a certain period bef...

Okay so I was a checker who got moved to customer service. I got trained but for some reason it seems they forgot to teach me everything. The money order machine is a password to open it and they didn't tell me that. For some reason it wont take my normal password. Then the make it right mission is way to fil...

Hey guys. I don't have any vacation time yet, but is it ever possible to just randomly take a week off without pay? Sometimes I don't get any hours anyway. My dad really wanted to go on a vacation this summer, but I feel like I'd have to quit my job to go. :(

I was gone the day they were supposed to "train" me and I don't really get it. I got a letter in the mail saying that I can refund stuff if it is under $20, but I don't really know how any of this works. Can anyone give me a brief rundown? Recently, I gave someone a discount because they had a make...

Lately its been kind of implied that if I can't consistently stay on for an hour or more after my set working hours then I might not be employed much longer. Such as "We can only keep on people that work later, so you'll be working later right?", or "If you keep doing this (not being able to...

I work in central division. Last night I saw a notice of a new reward program. It says it was started because employees had stated that there were no programs to reward hard workers. After reading what would qualify you for the rewards, it seems like it will just be one more program to reward the people wh...

I make $8.35 an hour. That is only 20 cents higher than my state's minimum wage. I just checked my pay stub on express hr for tomorrow and I see that my dues have risen to $9.18 a week! That is ridiculous. I plan on only working four hour a week once the fall comes because of school but now I think I'll just quit...

I had my yearly evaluation today and I know in the grand scheme of things they don't mean a damn thing, but the one I got today has pissed me off. More specifically the attitude of the co-manager had during the whole process. Out of all the categories I either got satisfactory or needs improvement. I w...

So, I'm a bagger, and I believe I'm a hard worker if I do say so myself. Passionate. So, A customer came up to me and asked for a 24 pack kroger with the bigger cap. She was older and the Plastic saving one's too hard to open. She already grabbed a 12 pack and was at checkout. She asked me to look, I looked hard &...

The Frys division has gone to crap since Jon Flora passed away. The employees mean nothing amymore. Everyone seems scared to death to lose their jobs. Especially coordinators. People really mattered to Mr.Flora and he proved it. Close to 2 years since his passing and it is just a sad place to

I was recently hired at Kroger as a part-time Drug/GM Clerk. My orientation date is soon and I'm still unsure if I should join the union or not (I do live in Indiana which is a right to work state) I'm 18, still in high school, this is only my second job at which I am going to make minium wage ($7.25). I don't pl...

Does Kroger have an employee-employer mediation program, apart from the union, where former or present employees can work out disputes? Also, what jobs in the store are not considered covered by the union? I ask because certain states seem to have even non-union employees covered by union contrac...

I work at a large Kroger store as a front-end cashier. I make $11.63 an hour and my union dues are $18.75 a week plus $5 for medical insurance that I don't use and I can't figure out how to opt out of it. I live in a place where avg rent is $1600 a month. Put simply, I HATE my job. Once I find something else I'm quit...
