shrink in a market can be this much. $1100 worth of loss. Sad think is that the employee that left this out can not be disciplined because the store management is afraid to to write-ups because of staffing problems. This had been done 3 times in one period and now management wants to get rid of him. But wit...

Anyone have problem with on line orders in their deli/bakery dept? We've got 2 orders placed for 100 pc. chicken at 11:45. One was called in earlier in the week and the other placed on line a couple days later. Yet were expected to have them both done at the same time. Our managers seriously expect us...

My first day at the deli was yesterday & it went pretty well. I'm just worried I won't like it in about a month lol. It's gonna take awhile for me to remember the meats etc I rather just package up food & cook. My shifts are from 9am-5:30pm. It's really slow during those hours. I feel like an annoya...

Can Kroger deny personal day requests? I requested Sunday off because i'm going to Cedar Point. I already bought tickets and fast lane plus passes because fast lane sells out pretty quickly. If I do get scheduled, i'm going to have to call off since they are non-refundable. My schedule doesn't even c...

Did the union fail or the members. · grumpy1

Been about nine years or around that since we was last able to get good help in the meat departments. Back then is was a case where a new inexperienced clerk would start as fifty cents higher than a new inexperienced grocery clerk. That gave us a a good chance to get the best of new workers in the meat...

I was scheduled from 10-4:45 today. A family emergency came up around 3:30 and I had to leave. Will I still get paid for that last hour & 15 minutes or will I only get paid for what I worked?

We are undergoing a minor remodel/KCSD set starting next week. We are not a Boars Head store, but the locals have advocated for it for a while. Question is, what does it take to become one? I know next to nothing about Deli/Bakery. Is it mainly reserved for upscale areas? We have a diverse consumer...

Tired of the situation and unfair labor practice or standard for the markets.It has come down to this. I have been with kroger about 2 weeks shy of 25 years. All in the meat department. The last ten years has been the worse as far as the help situation, at least in the Dallas Area. One learns to deal with it a...

I will be starting a new job soon and only want to be available on the weekends at Kroger. However, I'm not interested in working full shifts all the time.. I know it may be different according to the different areas, but does anyone know of a minimum number of hours you "have" to work? I've onl...

Is there a way to increase the order for a certain aisle using CAO or Citrix? I thought I heard someone mention it before but not sure. Like, if we want the condiment aisle to be 95% full, just enter one screen and everything will order itself to keep the aisle 95% full?

Well...........this isn't really about Willy Wonka, or a factory-----but there IS chocolate involved. Sorta.

Will I be put on the no re hire list? Obviously, I don't plan on working for the company again but in case of financial emergency I may have to. I'm planning on possibly quitting at the end of my shift tonight. I have another job i currently work that is more hours and money but I have no way of knowing if it wil...

So I won't reiterate much of what I said in the past, but I will say that being on the bottom of the totem pole at Kroger basically forces you to look for a supplementary income. When the supplementary income greatly exceeds how much you make from what is supposed to be your main income (Kroger), it is no l...

From April to December, my availability has changed from what days I need off (April - MWF, August-December, TR) but the consistent thing has been 11pm is the absolute latest. I did it to get the hell of self-checkout because the overnight person is one of the worst people I've ever met and customers af...

My orientation is today & I am super nervous! It's my first time working in a grocery store. I thought working in a bakery/deli would be easy since I'm in one area most of the time & don't mind all the cleaning. Any thoughts, tips, or advice??

does anyone else have this issue? i keep asking the schedule writer to look at my availability and she tells me to give it to her again. i write it for her every week and she keeps violating it and using the excuse that she is really forgetful. i have talked to the manager of my area and the store manager and h...

A friend and I both work in produce, but were going to a convention in a few weeks, so we have to take the whole weekend off. Now all of a sudden another person in our department wants most of that weekend off too, despite our putting our requests in months ago. We both have seniority, but is there anything t...
