I try to block out most of the noise that filters through our speakers during my shift, and I'm usually successful at most of it, but every time I hear that STUPID crowd cheering commercial, it sounds like a 1980s Atari game. Or maybe one you would find in a bar somewhere.

So I'm givig my manager 2 week notice next week. I've heard of managers who automatically knock you off schedule when you give the notice. How often does this occur?

For the mid south division (Kentucky) what is the pay rate scale. like the 6 month salary increase for both part and full time employes. That have been with Kroger about a 0-2 years. going from part time to full time pay increase? and are those big marketplaces any different in pay?

My w2 was sent to my old address instead of the new one I gave my manager. I don't work there anymore so I don't have employee access to the online w2 site but I need my W2! What else can I do? My store is little help.

Don't you have a whole collection of them in your department by now? Stop it. Our last one was wrapped in duct tape that said BAKERY - DON'T STEAL and guess what, it's gone.

We were told if a mystery shopper walked up to the deli counter and if every single person didn't say hi, we wouldn't get full credit for the mystery shop. Isn't that the dumbest thing you've ever heard of? I wouldn't shop at a place like that. I'd take my business elsewhere. Tell everyone you know to...

For me i think dairy and frozen. Dairy is stressful because you have to keep the cooler organized, and stock yogurt and tiny items. Frozen has to keep up the freezer, and its really demanding unloading frozen pallets. Grocery has enough people to pick up any slack. Plus you dont have to work as fast. Del...

I have been working Kroger for the past few mos. I am ready to quit because I have a better job in over a wk. I was told I have to work 2 days a wk at this Kroger to maintain employment.

One week ago, I requested two days off on Kroger's website greatpeople.me. The two days in question come up in two weeks, and I really need them off. It still says "pending" online. Should I just be patient? Does it take this long to get approved? Or should I go talk to the store manager about...

My manager said he extended my probation 60 more days like WTF!!! Is this a good thing or a bad thing? A few weeks ago we had REALLY bad ice and snow so I called in.

I got pulled off my register for a short training session and on the way back I started feeling some sudden stomach problems. My supervisor apparently didn't like that I went to the bathroom, timed me, and decided I didn't deserve my break. I don't think I really took 10 minutes, and even then it WAS need...

Is it possible that the person who programed "elms" got it wrong? Programmers aren't perfect--therefore, logically, the program they write could be wrong. Therefore the Elms program could be wrong. 100% ofall people who work for Kroger make mistakes. Also assumptions could b...

So, this woman comes in and insists she had a tray to pick up and that she had placed the order weeks ago. I asked her if she had the right store (we have two stores within a few miles of each other and people who place orders over the phone always get them mixed up.) She says "no, I came into this store and...
