Ok so I was recently hired at a Tom Thumb in Florida, passed my drug test and all. However, after my first day of training I got injured. So we filled out an incident report followed by another drug test. My question is if I passed my drug test to be hired and possibly failed this drug test with this incide...

We even signed the trade shift forms to make i...

Our new store manager has made it a point, if he catches anyone with drinks on the sales floor(including water) he will fire them, now I'm not stupid, I know he can't fire people for this, but its bull**** my wife is a cashier, sh is 8 months pregnant, and has been to the hospital three time for dehydration...

I'm not saying that the baggers weren't at fault. I know several of my coworkers that call out "sick" or hide somewhere in the store. However, if you're a veteran cashier, baggers are told to help the newer cashiers because the customers are cranky because the new cashiers are slower. Als...

I am a cashier and I get complaints that the bathrooms are a messy so I let my supervisor know and nothing gets done when told to management they say they have more important things to do. Should I tell the baggers to clean it so it gets done or what??

So, we have a thread stickied with all the usual ring tender tips, but I was wondering if anyone had any more unorthodox, unknown, or high skill tips to increase ring/tender. I'll start off with a few of mine. When a customer mentions at the start of an order that they need to grab an item, never start. I...

I'm a newly assigned CO just a few weeks out of training, up until this point everything has been really good. Time at corp and my training store were great. Training SM was fantastic and totally engaged with customers, as was the whole organization. Now where I'm at it's the complete opposite. SM sp...

I found a Kroger bag with an empty plastic coffee and sugar container in it hidden on one of the shelves. I figured the person dumped the product in a zip lock bag and walked out with it. I decided to open them and look. They had lint in them like someone put pocket change in them. They could have put the...

So, it's Sunday. Football shoppers, thanksgiving shoppers. At capacity all day long, doing a 9hr shift on register, rarely have a bagger. About 5 of them are MIA, and lobby is somehow empty of carts. Then I have to wait until less than 2 hours left in my shift for my second break because all the baby cashi...

It seems like almost every day I'm being asked to stay extra. I could use the extra money, but I wish they would just schedule me that way to begin with so I can actually make plans and know when I'm going to be home. It makes no sense why they're scheduling me for 4 hours and then ask me to stay 8 as soon as I get...
