So my gross was $346, net $251. Took a look at my paystub, saw damn near $17 in union fees? Now, the only thing I can think of for the reason is my vacation week, but I didn't work that week, and union dues came out of my vacation check. Is this odd, should I mention it to the HR person, or is there a special fee th...

Ok, I am a bagger And it seems as of late, the checkers seem irritated with me. The reason being is that I let them clean their own checkstands from trash. I'll restock if necessary, but cleaning their own checkstands I let them do. I stopped doing it for them because they ALWAYS left it a mess and called m...

One of the supervisors on Sunday asked me if I could work next Monday (I'm normally unavailable). They kind of forced me into saying yes - I said no at first a few times but they kept insisting and getting more pushy so finally I said I would. I thought that was the end of it and they would write the schedule w...

can someone tell me if courtesy clerks can accept tips?

How is this fair? If too many people asked for it off, give it to the people with more seniority instead of acting petty about it.

As a junior in uni in a STEM major, I don't really have the time or energy to spend 30 hours a week tooling around at Kroger and getting yelled at by dickhead managers and entitled customers. I'm thinking about putting in a leave of absence -- anyone have experience with doing this? I'm going to talk to my H...

I'm a bagger and I just started working here (almost 2 weeks), bagging and clearing the parking lot is the only thing they've shown me how to do, so when I get shifts that end at late hours I don't know what to do. So yeah, I just clock out and leave without saying anything. I've done it quite a few times now bu...

I feel like i am ready for it and have been a back up for a year, but, I am open to whatever knowledge or wisdom any grocery mgr's o...

I don't remember using Bams last year though I am sure I did since it's been around for a while. Does anyone know what the userid is suppose to be? There's no where to make one and I have tried my EUID but it just says id does not exist. I remember reading something a while back about it being your SSN or birth d...

I work as a utility clerk and my manager is scheduling outside my availability due to school being out on that day. Does the Union protect me from this? Is there anything I can do or do I just have to accept that my availability is laughable to my manager?

So... I ****ed up realllllllllllllly bad :( Apparently, we're not allowed to use the 'customer care' coupons anymore... fair enough. But when I was told, they said '-if you use it, you have to record it on this form. And it has to be approved by a manager....'. I thought that meant we COULD use it, but th...

do kroger employees get any discounts from any of the cell phone companies?

Have any of your contracts been opened up and put to a vote to increase wages for new hires recently? Apparently this is something the company wants to do in order to be able to hire people. Kroger didn't want to give grandfathered employees an increase, but were forced to by the union.

The fact that so few people in my store know how to make signs has started becoming a problem. Only a few of us in pricing, as well as a few other people here and there in meat, produce, floral, and nutrition know how to make them. The problem is that when specials go on or off on the weekend, we get pulled from...

Well I never thought that I would ever see this day come. I got called in for a job interview a few weeks ago, and got a call yesterday with a job offer. Its a great full time job Monday-Friday only, they offer me a much higher pay than Kroger, and great benefits. That means that I will be stopping by today at K...

What is that tone I hear when the cashier swipes my Kroger's Plus Shoppers Card? I have had my card swiped a thousand times but recently I hear a tone when it is swiped and I have asked the cashiers what it is but have not received an answer.
