I was hired for a cashier position. I have orientation coming up on Sunday. What should I wear and expect?

I typically park near the soda machines up front, so the cameras are on it, but every time I come outside people are around it, touching it and want to talk my ****ing head off about how dangerous they are. Anyone have any good secrets parking spots? Or do you brave the parking lot?

Just had a question regarding union dues.. this might be something I should call my rep. for but I figured asking here is worth a shot. I'm requesting the next 2 weeks off but not using any PH or vacation time. Since I'm working hours do I still need to pay the union dues for the next 2 weeks? I'm only workin...

We just got a call from our divison/district pres saying we were paying out too much overtime, it was about 250+ unscheduled hours per week across all departments and all shifts. The thing is, our store runs on overtime, many are leaving and we cannot retain our new hires, and without it, we wouldn't ha...

What do you do if you have a slightly less than optimal grocery experience? Go bitch about it like it is the end of the world. Here are some of my favorites: "Why are some Krogers still doubling - while the ones in Ohio have stopped? I thought all Krogers were going to stop doubling. It doesn't se...

It doesn't happen often, but occasionally someone gives me a tip for helping them out to their car. I've heard that we're not supposed to take tips from customers. Usually when I try to refuse a tip though the customers will throw it into the cart and walk away. What should I do?

A courtesy clerk that has worked with me for over a year was finally caught slacking off and hiding in the bathroom. I heard she was taken to the store manager's office for a meeting. Does this mean she's fired? She does nothing at work but flirt and maybe bags for about 20 minutes before going off and hid...

I know that at the store I'm waiting to start at, the employees are given a 10% discount on Kroger brand items. Does anyone know if this discount can be used at Kroger Family stores too? I'm working in one town that only has Kroger, but live in another county where we have JayC Plus & Rulers, both Kro...

So how many people have had customers say that they will call corporate and have had anything happen? I had to stay an extra 10-15 mins at self checkout because this lady was taking forever with her groceries, already knowing we had closed the store. When she was finished she told me "Oh don't be...

Hello all. About a month and a half ago, I applied to Kroger. I'd seen tons of Now Hiring! signs in every window of the dozens of Krogers in my area and I figured if they were promoting that heavily, they were hungry for workers. I'm hungry for work. Hard work, too. I chose 'Overnight Stocker' on my applica...

I say "supposedly" because I can't independently confirm whether this is true or not. However, a discussion I had with our store's union steward revealed that not once, but twice, the union has asked for representatives from the Kroger Company to come to the table to discuss pay rate incr...

How do I receive retro pay? Do they write me a check or does it just go on my check I get on Thursdays?

Our store (Columbus Division) has had four VERY late trucks in a row, and several more in the past couple of weeks. Is this happening to all the stores in the division? How are you all dealing with it?

The other day I saw a black walking down the street while carrying a flat-screen TV. I thought, 'Oh, shoot, that looks a lot like mine.' Then I realized it can't be mine -- mine's home shining my shoes.
