Am I in the union?
(Preview)
Hello all. I live in KY. It appears that I have paid union dues and union initiation through my paychecks, but I don't recall ever filling out any paperwork for joining the union. Does this mean I'm in the union? This has never really been made that all clear to me.. -- Edited by Pork Tenderloi...

And even though the store that's opening is within walking distance, hence why I applied, I've been having to train at a Training Center and other store almost an hour away. (30 minutes roughly, and hour with traffic :/) They offered us a bus, which I told them I had a ri...

B*tched Out By Supervisor For Something I Didn't Do
(Preview)
In my second week at Kroger, here. Walked into work today and just had a feeling that it was going to be a bad day. Ever get those? I didn't feel like being there that day, but of course I went; I don't believe in missing work/something important unless I'm very sick. Well, all that day actually went good...

Drunk customer.
(Preview)
Tonight, I was working and there was a drunk guy that came into the store... STUMBLING. He fell in one of the aisles and the on-duty manager had to be called over. First, the guy tells a CC that he has a heart problem and that he'll be fine. Then, when the manager comes over, he tells her that he had Chemo toda...

GreatPeople asterisk?
(Preview)
I was just wondering what the asterisk meant on the greatpeople.me site since I couldn't find an explanation on there, and I haven't run across it before. Its on two different days separated by a day off (an eight hour shift and a three and a half hour shift), and I figured I'd ask.

I woke Monday morning with a terrible pain in my body (I don't want to be too specific because I fear that I may be singled out) and went to the Emergency Room. I was given hardcore pain meds and told to go home and follow up with a specialist. I called the specialist and was told they could see me Friday morni...

So here in the Atlanta market, about a month or so ago we courtesy clerks 'lost' our cooler of water by the main entrance. Yea.

Do we get extra pay for working holidays?
(Preview)
Since my store already seems dead set on everyone working Thanksgiving, and then (shudder) Christmas coming soon after that, "if" (when) I work Thanksgiving Day, will I see extra cash in my paycheck for that? Because what kind of a ba-st-ard company has employees working holidays and no...

They basically encourage the customers to give feedback. The cashier whose name appears the most by a certain date gets Thanksgiving Da...

Kroger's weird sense of "humor"
(Preview)
Today we have about 6 half full carts of go backs. And even though we have 2 other courtesies, they chose (UN)-lucky me to do them. My co-manager said he wanted ME to do them in one hour. (The other two courtesies were doing other tasks, lot duty and bagging). Plus I was on sweeps, doing price checks, servi...
