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...

It's a good thing I actually don't need the hours, or I'd be steamed over this. Still, this strikes me as odd. Two of my days for this week are marked as "Time Off Approved" on e-Schedule. Thing is, I never put in any such requests. In fact, looking at the "Date Submitted" column of t...

So our already struggling OSAT score took a pretty bad hit again this week because last week, we had a significant winter event overnight one night involving ice and snow that led to treacherous road conditions in the morning. Schools/businesses closed and local city officials/police advised peo...

For three months, I was looking for a job intensely. Within that time period, only kroger offered me a job. I took the job even though it was in a department I barely know about. I've been at kroger for about 2 months. So far its been ok.... however I just got a new job offer at my dream job. What should I do? ...

first day as a grocery clerk, manager said someone will give me a tour and show me the ropes. but where do I go when I first get there? obviously there's not going to be someone waiting there for me. lol

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.

Always amazes me when 'our' customers come in and express frustration or disappointment over wet shopping carts. It's like they expect 10 for 10 or 50 cents off that goddamned can of creamed corn so for all of that we should have some way of drying the carts. Just ignore the fact that in Georgia the rainy...

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

I bagged for a customer today who was as rude as they come. She was basically telling me how to do my job. She ripped the bags out of my hand as she proceeded to tell me how to bag what. I put her bags of lettuce in with her other produce (on top, of course) and she totally freaked out on me. She was also taking thi...

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

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.

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

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...

Are 15 minute breaks paid time?

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...

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...
