Sometimes I ask myself what sort of a b-a-s-t-a-r-d company I work for, and then I inadvertently get an answer. Our store has a contest going right now for cashiers. They basically encourage the customers to give feedback. The cashier whose name appears the most by a certain date gets Thanksgiving Da...

about 6 months ago I was moved from courtesy clerk to Deli clerk and have had difficulties with the shift I'm working regularly due to outside responsibilities, and need to have earlier shifts. I've also recently been given new tasks im not comfortable with, and would like to transfer to another dep...

So on my schedule for like two days this next week I have been put into the position of Front End Supervisor Assistant (I can't remember the exact wording but it was along those lines), and absolutely no one in my store that was on tonight when I stopped in to ask knew what it was. I have not been cross-train...

Hello all. I live in KY. It appears that I have paid union dues and union initiation through my paychecks, but I don't recall ever filling out any paperwork for joining the union. Does this mean I'm in the union? This has never really been made that all clear to me..

Getting ready to open a new store. And even though the store that's opening is within walking distance, hence why I applied, I've been having to train at a Training Center and other store almost an hour away. (30 minutes roughly, and hour with traffic :/) They offered us a bus, which I told them I had a ri...

I don't know if this was a man or a woman. I didn't see. Person drives a white car. They used one of the small carts in the store. This person has parked right next to the curb in the parking lot. LAZY JERK has pushed the cart next to the curb and left it there, rather than walk to a corral less than 30 feet away an...

I was just wondering what the asterisk meant on the greatpeople.me site since I couldn't find an explanation on there, and I haven't run across it before. Its on two different days separated by a day off (an eight hour shift and a three and a half hour shift), and I figured I'd ask.

Tonight, I was working and there was a drunk guy that came into the store... STUMBLING. He fell in one of the aisles and the on-duty manager had to be called over. First, the guy tells a CC that he has a heart problem and that he'll be fine. Then, when the manager comes over, he tells her that he had Chemo toda...

I have been with Kroger for 10+ years and I recently put in a transfer to another store which is closer to my home. At the new store the manager has approved me for me to work there. I believe I would be #3 in seniority in the department. My question is, technically how long can my current store keep me befor...

Since my store already seems dead set on everyone working Thanksgiving, and then (shudder) Christmas coming soon after that, "if" (when) I work Thanksgiving Day, will I see extra cash in my paycheck for that? Because what kind of a ba-st-ard company has employees working holidays and no...

I live in Cincinnati where there is a Kroger store pretty much on every street corner. I was curious why each gas center they have the price is always different? Does any one work the fuel center & can tell me how they determine the price

So our plant manager here at Columbus Bakery is due back tomorrow. He was across the pond for the passing of his Father. Guess where he was! He was in Liberia. I think I'll let the local health authorities know of the situation if he does indeed come back tomorrow. I would push for the 3 week isolation peri...

So, I was out doing carts today and this lady decided to NOT stop as I was crossing with a load of carts. Most people are courteous enough to stop and let me go. This lady, however, wasn't even paying attention. She blew through the parking lot without even looking. Two other CCs who were out there with me a...

Here it is 1.25$ more (average volume without fuel 500k). Compared to the $4.00 more for grocery/produce/drug gm/scan coordin...
