I've heard that several stores are being threatened with write ups for department heads for out of stocks. Is this allowed? What about stores with unions?

Well since que-vision has been installed in our store I've spent more time up front than any time in recent memory. Told my store manager this and he seemed shocked that someone had the balls to say they don't like it. Anyway I was closing in the deli tonight and while I went to lunch our manager called t...

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

Hi, I'm a bagger at a Super Kroger and we're finally making the switch from furniture to apparel. I have a few questions 1. How bad will go-backs get? At my store the CC's do go-backs and not the departments like I've heard happens at other stores. 2. Do the customers like the apparel more than furniture...

I just started as cashier today and I want some tips on how to be better. I've worked in stock for two months so up front is much different. Any tips on important keys or button combinations on the keyboard? how to scan faster? (practice makes perfect but are there tricks to scanning?)

Any of you have that one pet peeve annoying regular customer that when you see them walking towards the checkout area, you start praying they don't come through your lane? Tell your stories. With me is this one very annoying woman that always fills up her cart with over 100 items, she fills up my convey...

Is Kroger Really a Good Place fto Work? I ask this because of my son's experience there. We live so near to Kroger that we treat it like a 7-11. Not only do we buy most of our groceries there, but most of our gas, all of our prescriptions, etc...But I'm thinking that maybe I should take my business elsewher...

When I was hired on, I was told that since I didn't have any experience working a register I could couldn't start out as a cashier, running my own booth at festivals and ren fairs didn't count. I have since found out that that was a lie and the dude that hired me just needed to fill empty bagger spots and didn...

I had a guy come though uscan today and he was purchasing gift cards, several orders of them and about three at a time and was putting about 500 or so dollars on each of them. He paid for them with kroger gift cards, as they were the mastercard or visa ones. I've been an employee for ten years and this has ne...

I work in produce and Ive been working for kroger for just over 5 years. my produce manager wants me to get full time and he says I would have to work 8 consecutive weeks at 40 hours to get it. I've already completed 5 weeks. there isn't technically a full time position available. So we're trying to pull a ha...

Where to start.. Ugh. Well, this bagger has been at the store longer than I have. He doesn't do squat at his job. He'll go to do lot duty and sit there talking to his friends and leave the mess of all the carts outside to whoever comes in after him. He's rude to me and when he's in his car while I'm walking acro...

How often do you hear this at work? I mean, good lawd, clean it your damn selves! How does it get so dirty in the first place? Granted, during the winter there were a slew of idiots coming in with muddy boots (who doesn't know to wipe off their boots, stomp it off, etc?), but it's like every day now with produ...

First of all, it's unfair that it was changed to only a "select" number of stores being picked for the survey. It should be every store. Does everyone's opinion not count?

Personally I'm sick of the endless loop of the same patriotic songs over and over again with no variety.

You wouldn't think it could make you that hot but it does,...

Kroger sucks because they promote people who don't deserve it.Just like being in high school, who you like is who gets promoted.
