My store manger is awful and many employees have problems with her... like real problems, not just not liking her because she makes them do their job, but like demoting employees, choosing obvious favorites, and just not catering or trying to cater to her employees. What can I do about that?

I live in Alaska and have the kroger-dedicated Anthem BCBS, but have been fighting for SEVEN MONTHS to get a breast pump. They require that it come from a DME. The one they gave me locally (the ONLY one) "doesn't do breast pumps." So I found a publication from BCBS here: http://www.mympcben...

I got yelled at by my night crew coworkers for being too slow (or "not hustling"). I think I go at a decent pace, but we have been finishing late somewhat often. Our day is generally: 700-1000 piece loads, 3 crew members 12:00 - start 1:30 - load broken down and spotted, break 1:45 - break ends f...

It was mentioned that I would be working in the Dairy department during the daytime. I figure the Dairy lead will be the AM person most of the time and I would be the afternoon Dairy clerk which is ok with me. Does that really mean I will be working in the Dairy department actually stocking or Does that mea...

I'm about to turn 50 years old next week, and I work midnights on the grocery crew. I've been doing it going on 15 years, and I feel like it is finally catching up with me. It is getting to me mentally and physically. It would be nice to going back to days, and getting to sleep at night, but working days at Kr...

Boycot the best you can the Elko Smiths the store director is the worst yet and I am a customer. He smokes every second or on cell or he is yelling at the workers. No wonder they can't smile or say hi they are to scared to move. I hear he threatened many of them with sick family parents even that maybe when they...

So if you are red for the week on half green hours you are required to go to a meeting. They always send the comanagers or the store manager. Well my store manager said that she was tired of going and was going to send me. That's fine I'll go because I'll tell them the truth. I have no problem telling the hig...

I went in today and gave the assistant FES my two weeks' notice. Classes are about to start so I'd rather be studying than saying the same lines over and over. It's been quite a year with Kroger, and there's been plenty of great and awesome people I'd love to work with, as well as idiots and asses who I'd r...

So, my store is switching to black aprons starting tomorrow. I was only given a blue one and was only notified about the change on Thursday by the form of a note by the time clock. I asked about getting one then, but nobody was able to help me. Am I responsible for getting a black apron on my own or are they res...

Last night I went to work. I worked hard. We finished a grocery truck. I wrote the order for tonight's truck. I clocked out and went home. No problems, just thought I would post something that wasn't a complaint for a change.

How much do file maintenance clerks make? according to indeed.com they make about $37k/year on average but that is not specifically for kroger employees. So I'm guessing that number would be unreliable.

Last night I was the midnight cashier and was closing with my manager, my last order was in the payment of a check.

I swear people need to do their jobs and get along! When someone screws up or can't get along with someone they put them back up front as a cashier. Another one got kicked out of deli dept today. One from the bakery two weeks ago. We have enough cashiers up front as it is and they all get around 15 to 18 ho...
