Does your deli have numbers? We've been trying to get a number ticket thing for years but management keeps refusing. They say "no, it's more personal if you ask which customer is next!" All that does is cause fights to break out and upset customers. Thanks Kroger.

So like half the items in the bakery department are being discontinued. Everything from blueberry pies to cookies and cream cakes to kaiser rolls. What the hell are we going to have left except boring italian bread and baguettes that most people don't even want? Is this an excuse to turn us into Walmar...

I really think it speaks volumes when management is suddenly okay with approving hundreds of hours of overtime and six day pay for multiple associates during a week leading up to a big, big visit from corporate headquarters in Cincinnati. So, all these problems, including store cleanliness (or a la...

If ****stomers wanna treat me like some robot, then I'll start fuking acting like one from now on. I'll try to make their shopping experience as awkward and uncomfortable as possible. Also, the other day, I was talking to one of my coworkers and said that I wanted to run out in front of traffic blindfold...

I love pooping. I like getting off. I enjoy money. Does anyone else make sure to spend one hour of their shift in the bathroom every day? Haha, take that you robot comanager! You ain't got nothing on me even if you are a Kroger built cyborg sent to catch us being bad!

I was asked by the District Coordinator to know how to do it by his next visit in a few weeks. I asked the grocery manager and some co-managers but they didn't seem to know or didn't really use it. I was just certified as the frozen lead

Why do customers put their purses in the bottom of the cart and then proceed to bury them in groceries? WTF

Just curious. I started with Kroger (Smith's) a few months ago. I am now the Seafood "Manager" and when we do the huddles in the morning they talk about the 100-150 or so comments we get, per day, and how that is way more than most stores see. So how many comments are some of your stores seeing o...

Can anyone give me any suggestions on how to steal from the company and not get caught? The managers at my store think they're so fuking special. I have to keep telling one of them that I'm not going to give him a rim job. Thanks!

I "failed" my mystery shopper interaction in the deli because I neglected to ask said customer what they were going to do with their meat.

So after being harassed by the union rep a couple months ago, I finally decided to join the union so the rep would leave me the hell alone and the rep told me it'd be a 70 dollar initiation fee and 7.45 member fee each week. Well after 7 weeks of them taking ten dollars out each week, I finally hit the seventy d...

I have been working at Kroger for two days as a cashier. I am wondering when do they post the schedule? Does it appear online under the great people website or do I have to go to the store and see the schedule?

Does anyone have an employee handbook. The crooks at Krappers didn't give one out, wonder why, and I need it. I was not union and am no longer part of the company. I could really use this against the company. Like many of you, it ruined my life and was not gainful employment.

For about a year I was breaking down the grocery truck with another stocker, but it was not the same guy all of the time, because they would quit and this one guy transferred to another store. Well I had to come in 2 hours before the night crew and break it down and then stock my aisles, and I could never get i...

Does anyone ever feel guilty for saying no? My manager called me earlier because someone called in today. We already had one quit and another putting in their two week's notice. She's the one who called in so I wouldn't be shocked if she doesn't come back anymore. So basically there's like no one to ever...

Please stop sending me stuff I cannot sell. If you don't want the stuff.. stop producing them. My freezer is slowly being taken over by crap I cannot sell, and marking down is only going so fast. After awhile the DM might start bitching about all the MDing I'm doing. I don't need 40 cases of MAC cups white c...

Isn't it annoying and awkward how pressuring Union representitives are? Why can't they accept no without any questions. Worse than door to door salesman.
