So there's a new (from what I've heard, national, though at least district-wide) policy here, the front office people just got briefed on it today, it'll be streaming down to cashiers, baggers, and other store employees soon enough if not already. It's called "I Can Make It Right", an ext...

I started my first day of training for the night shift. The first thing that I did was stood with everyone after clocking in like being directed to after orientation. Least of my surprise the co manager that day was having a bad day. It was basically my first day on the job where I got bitched at for being t...

Okay, so I finished dept. head training and will be placed soon. Do I have any say as to where I get placed, will they offer the placement and I chose to accept or decline thus not promoted if I decline, or do I not even have that option and they just tell me where I'm going and if I don't like it the only option i...

There is no one else, she...

I had my first evening shift recently, I worked morning shifts for my first 2 weeks of employment, I was the only one working in the grocery dept that night. A truck comes in, I have zero experience unloading the truck at this point, and have used the powerjack for all of 5 minutes (and that is probably an e...

Everyone in my store thinks something is going on between them. He's always talking to her and helping her out in her department and it's so obvious that if there isn't anything creepy going on between them, he's at least picking favorites. She doesn't get most of her work done but she seems to think she...

HAHAHAHAHAHA......I think y'all will like this! So a little while ago I was shopping at a Kroger off my beaten path; in short order I noticed that every. single. ONE. of the employees I came within 10 feet of were all ¨hi, how are you today? Anything I can help you find?¨ Nice, but wicked annoying. And it h...

I've worked at Kroger for about 2 years now in the produce department and i'm really getting tired of some of the people I work with.. almost all of the night crew is terrible to work with (I mainly work nights and am getting tired of being asked why it looks bad the next morning). My side always looks good a...

The whole "relief cashier" concept is bull $hit. Two days this week really put me over the edge, I was up for at least 2.5 hours Monday ( I didn't even get back to my department before they called my up for a steady hour) and 3 hours the other day( someone called off and I was their "solution...

So, the Kroger I work at has apparently always struggled with 'meh' OSAT. To counter this, they replaced the lead manager with someone else, OSAT kept dropping, then in a huddle early this week, the new manager mentioned an 'ultimatum' from the district manager to get OSAT up ten points within a week....

Really? What a waste of money. It was right by the bakery too so we had the worst time trying to hear what the customers were saying when they were trying to place orders. The customers just seemed confused about what was going on.

I was wondering if anybody knew how much Kroger pays mystery shoppers. this is not right that people is allowed to come in and try to get employees in trouble by saying anything they want to and the employees gets told the customer is always right about everything. these people needs to get a real job. cu...

We're all familiar with IHOP, but one breakfast/diner chain called "Waffle House" has a pretty good footing throughout the South. And now I'd like to ask, for those that have eaten at one or both of these establishments, which do you prefer, and why? It could be anything from just the name...

I am sick of hearing how Walmart needs to make more money and the UFCW is backing them. In our town they start at $9.00 and may start up to $2.00 higher depending on experience. Many people at Kroger work for years to make what Walmart's starting salary. Our pay is joke and we are paying union dues so our uni...
