One of our Co managers announced that over the intercom today around 6PM. I've never heard that before. I work in meat and seafood and we were slammed, so none of us (3 of us back there) went up to help bag, after all, that's what the courtesy clerks are hired to do, and front end already took about 5 hours fr...

Do we get paid Wednesday or Thursday since it's Thanksgiving on pay day?!

For a part timer, how much do you pay each week (or month?) for part time insurance? And how do you like it? I'm in the Nashville division by the way. I've asked coworkers but they all say something different. Thanks!

Supposed to work tomorrow afternoon and it's supposed to rain in the Atlanta area. Going to see how they work out. Last time it had a sudden downpour here, I had to go and buy some of the socks we sell, because my shoes got soaked through and it was like walking in sponges.

That's a bit of an exaggeration --- I've seen the phone answered. But on a day like today when I need to let them know that I may be a little late due to family emergencies, the phone just rings and rings and rings. Why? Because, of course, Front End runs the Customer Service desk, and at my store, Front End i...

How are we supposed to know where EVERY item in the store is, off the top of our heads? I can usually guess where it is, just by looking at the list of items above the aisles, but we NEVER got trained where things are. Then customers get angry when we don't know where some obscure items are.

I need some help. I looked on my profile, and, well, okay, I am a courtesy clerk, I saw under current job step, it says 500. One, what does that mean, and two, do courtesy clerks get raises? At orientation, they said they do, but also, actually, when I got hired, my pay was what cashiers start out with an...

My CSM loves me, and told me that I have a lot of potenetial, as have all of our Co-Managers and Store Manager (who absolutely loves me). When I first started I didnt really expect to stay lo...

These kids ask for my money, want to use my personal items and eat my food. They just grab from me and do not even ask. I'm not their momma and I'm tired of it. Can anything that can be done about it? And saying no never seems to work.

Hey fellow Kroger employees! I need your help. I'm the lead night stocker for my store and I'm having issues dealing with the insanity of the grocery manager. Put simply, he abuses his stockers mentally and sometimes emotionally. Not saying that we're all weak spirited or anything but the guy is good...

So I was told that Front End was "given" more hours next week for Thanksgiving. When I also complained / mentioned off-the-record about having one person working the entire parking lot for both entrances to bring in carts to one of our cooler Front End Supervisors, he said that when the &qu...

Hi guys, I'm not an employee, just a customer, but I've heard this announcement (the words in the subject line) 5 out of the last 5 times I've gone to a Kroger in my area. Each time I've gone has been at a different time of the day, and each time has been right as I walk into the store or a minute or two into being...

I just had a quick question... I'm a current Kroger employee, promoted to fulltime earlier this year and have been with the company about 8 years. A friend of mine is part time and a recent hire. We're both looking to relocate out of state (Michigan to Texas, if it matters any) sometime next year. It's my...

Been cold here in the South. When the sliding doors open in the main lobby the cold air rushes into the store and you can feel it freezing by uscan, self-check out and one of the registers. So the other day one of our uscan persons was apparently wearing a jacket. But since it wasn't Kroger-approved, the F...

At the start of the year, ESS listed that I had four personal holidays to use, and I successfully used one a few months back. When I did, the site updated to say that I used one, and had three left to use, which I was planning on using next month. But I checked ESS today, and it says I've got personal days left...
