It started with the coke machine. They filled it with dented Big K sodas. Then they took the machine away. We used to have those good paper towels in the box, the brown folded ones. Now we have those huge rolls they use in the restrooms. They are so thin and cheap you have to use twice as many. The bott...

Hi so I am starting my first day working at Kroger as a Courtesy Clerk in Front End. I am 16 in high school, and this is my first job so I am excited. Well could someone tell me like the do's and don'ts and what to expect, and also some bagging tips. I was told to build walls in your bags, but I know that most of the...

I had my first day today and feel like I barely made it out alive. I had no idea how much crap Drug/GM has to stock. It was made worse by the fact that I didn't know where anything was so I was sitting there dumbfounded looking through the shelves forever. Every u-boat I pushed seemed to have boxes topple ove...

Earlier this week all of the paper towel and toilet paper dispensers in my store was replaced and today they replaced all the markdown printers with new wireless ones. Nothing was wrong with the paper dispensers and the old printers were in good shape. Last week the store finally fixed a drain probl...

So after being wrongfully terminated my union rep has issued me four weeks of back pay for time missed. He called my manager this morning and set it up, so I'm thinking it should go through on this coming weeks paycheck, so hopefully I'll get it Friday. I'd love to get it before Christmas. Anyone know how...

So here's the basics: I'm on the overnight grocery crew. My dept manager was stepped down from the position two years ago before regaining the position a few months ago. She orders more than we can put up in an 8 hour shift. Her solution to that is to try and get everyone to stay longer. My problem is that m...

So I'm a deli clerk. The last hired in my store. Wevw since lost 3 pt and 1 ft person. The reason given for no new hires is the low starting pay. I believe that completely. If we can't hire ppl doesn't this make the next year pure hell for workers? Without the union pay scale we could actually hire the p...

Krogers is so concerned about quevision, how about a problem they've been having for years, the customer service line? There are four cash registers up there but generally there's only one person ever working at a time. Maybe on a good day two. If someone in front of you starts a western union order or s...

I'm a front end supervisor, and was told by management that only men are allowed to push carts after sunset (which is like 5pm now), for "safety" reasons. This sounds ridiculously sexist and inefficient, do y'all know if this is Kroger policy or just the usual management dumbness?

We've had a peppermint overload in the bakery. We have 5 buckets of peppermint icing. We have peppermint brownies, peppermint cupcakes, peppermint bark, several varieties of peppermint cookies. We even have peppermint donuts. The only peppermint thing we don't have is peppermint bread.

Last month as I was getting about halfway through my probationary period, I was called and asked to change department from overnight grocery to produce, being told it was because "there weren't enough hours to give me in that department" a few days later, the manager told me that the rea...

Cut our hours but hire new people? Blow smoke up my ass constantly. I love my fellow department associates, and my department manager, but all upper management creep me out. When a manager can't spell clearance or management correctly I have mini break downs. When I'm told with my HR degree and work et...

So, I was curious about the high volume stores with multiple department heads for each department and how they work. Take grocery for example, how do they divvy up grocery manager responsibilities? It seems like it'd be a debacle. Having multiple people ordering, seems like conflicting opinio...

They were just concerned that about it being lost and I'm like nope, I know where it is. In the shredder. (s...
