Almost everybody in my department seem to be disinterested and crass with their words and humor. Also this isn't just teenagers, it's full aged adults participating in some sick humor. I don't say anything... but a "retard seizure" joke pushed me really off. How do you handle co wor...

Nothing irritates me more than people parking in front of the cart corrals. How the hell are we supposed to get carts when some idiot is parked in front of them? Some people are just morons.

Home Depot called this morning. Need to bring my social security card and driver's license to them tomorrow morning. After that, it's orientation -- I work Saturday but if I can get it off somehow (call out?) I can attend orientation. Then it's basically a combination of being on the 'lot training w...

It's a good thing I actually don't need the hours, or I'd be steamed over this. Still, this strikes me as odd. Two of my days for this week are marked as "Time Off Approved" on e-Schedule. Thing is, I never put in any such requests. In fact, looking at the "Date Submitted" column of t...

For three months, I was looking for a job intensely. Within that time period, only kroger offered me a job. I took the job even though it was in a department I barely know about. I've been at kroger for about 2 months. So far its been ok.... however I just got a new job offer at my dream job. What should I do? ...

I wished that I had invested more in it over the years, now that the stocks are at an all time high. But I still have a few more years to work before retirement, I started putting money back in to it a few months ago and I will not quit like I did before.

My store is having a remodel in a month or so. I assume we're closing down because I heard there'a a re-opening. So I'm just wondering, what happens to courtesy clerks during that time? Thanks.

Yep Front End is scheduling meetings this week and next. And some of those meetings will be during the courtesy clerk's and cashier's shifts. As if it is bad enough we never have enough baggers or people to bag, now we are going to be short some staff for what - at least 30 minutes, probably? All for 'Make i...

Always amazes me when 'our' customers come in and express frustration or disappointment over wet shopping carts. It's like they expect 10 for 10 or 50 cents off that goddamned can of creamed corn so for all of that we should have some way of drying the carts. Just ignore the fact that in Georgia the rainy...

Is it a cmmon thing that management manages by lying constantly to certain employees. WTF.. One of the company's core values is Honesty...yet they aren't Honest. "Fake it till you make it" as I have heard many times. Lies and empty promises from the Largest grocery Company in the nat...

I bagged for a customer today who was as rude as they come. She was basically telling me how to do my job. She ripped the bags out of my hand as she proceeded to tell me how to bag what. I put her bags of lettuce in with her other produce (on top, of course) and she totally freaked out on me. She was also taking thi...

Does your deli have numbers? We've been trying to get a number ticket thing for years but management keeps refusing. They say "no, it's more personal if you ask which customer is next!" All that does is cause fights to break out and upset customers. Thanks Kroger.

So like half the items in the bakery department are being discontinued. Everything from blueberry pies to cookies and cream cakes to kaiser rolls. What the hell are we going to have left except boring italian bread and baguettes that most people don't even want? Is this an excuse to turn us into Walmar...

I really think it speaks volumes when management is suddenly okay with approving hundreds of hours of overtime and six day pay for multiple associates during a week leading up to a big, big visit from corporate headquarters in Cincinnati. So, all these problems, including store cleanliness (or a la...
