Hi all, My job apparently called up my parents, because my step father is working in the Realestate department, and was apparently going to fire me because I'm working 'too slow'. I'm not sure what goes along the lines of being a slow worker, because, despite the fact that I haven't been properly trai...

I have recently heard that our department manager is being forced to schedule everyone in our department nights because someone made a complaint about people not working nights. I don't understand how that is possible because the person that made the complaint is in another department, which has...

This has never happened before, and I've never seen other cashiers have a 9hr shift. Is this a glitch with eschedule? I'm supposed to start fuel training soon, but there is no asterisk next to the shift, which there is when I am given a u-scan shift. Obviously I'll ask if being scheduled for a 9hr shift is...

We'll be allowing chip-and-signature cards in our store starting next week. These are the cards you insert at the bottom of the card reader and hold for a few seconds while it processes payment. Any of y'all have experiences with these already? Any potential problems? I've heard something about how...

So I just recently completed my orientation for Ralph's, and I'm pretty sure I'm scheduled to start next week. The problem is, the orientation was in a different store than the one I will be working at, and I did not get to learn much at the orientation itself anyways. I'm assuming on my first day I'll hav...

I've been a Frozen Dept Head for 2 years now. I'm so tired of hearing the manager say " Can't sell from an empty wagon" I know the story behind it. I'm just getting tired of them saying it, cutting hours, and dealing with problems after they happen rather then before and getting prepared. Now m...

I'm still in training for courtesy clerk. Do I still clcok out and does it matter when since its not a real shift. For an example I did training from 10am to finish some videos. The manager left early and he said don't stay later than 6:30. Was it OK for me to clock out at 5:10ish. Am I going to get in trouble fo...

I heard we are supposed to get a discount card, but that is all I heard. Do we get it in the mail or do I need to ask someone for it or what?

Ever since I've started working at Kroger 4 years ago, the sink water from Starbucks has always been free. It's just water from the sink, after all. But last week, management apparently took all the Starbucks employees upstairs and told them they're going to have to start charging 30 cents for water....

Can I get fired for eating a bakery sugar cookie that is set aside for customers and such. I think that a manager saw me do it and am scared now.I am a full time worker, and it seems all the managers in my store caught the "firing bug." I am paranoid about being fired for anything and everything no...

I can't take this anymore. I can't take only having 2 of us in the deli. I can't take my one coworker running off every time she can to do other things besides wait on counter because she thinks she's some kind of department head when she's not. I can't take being put on production and then not being able to d...

There are several Kroger stores in my city, I work in the absolute worst one! Not because of my co workers, they are great.....it is the customers! I need advice on how to deal without getting fired. I have been yelled at, belittled and even had an item thrown at me. My guess is that at least 80% of the pa...

I'm a fairly new CC (about a month and a half), and I'm really sour about something that happened today.

None of the family thought to pick up and thr...

I don't know how high management is, or where they buy their dank but in what world does it make sense to ignore a leaking freezer because it cost too much to have a facility support member come out. They told me that they would rather payout a slip and fall suit than have someone repair it. So fast foward a w...
