The doors for the freezers in the dairy ( the dept i work for ) and frozen have alarms that go off if the doors are kept open. Recently these alarms have gone off and i have closed the door to both the diary and frozen since they are close together several times and they continue to ring. Is there any other way...

Usually, produce is along one of the perimeter walls and most people shop that area first. This ridiculous remodel they're doing has it in the middle of the store. It seems rather illogical to put it there. They also have the deli and the frozen food and dairy sections on opposite sides of the store...

Also today posted in our receiving area and breakroom was a new dress code for vendors. Wasn't aware that there was a problem with this, but there w...

Why in God's name do they have to torment both customers and employees to death, with that 24 hour overhead radio/music nightmare, constantly blaring away?????? (Who goes to the store to have to listen to Dillon's Radio garbage??!!) I absolutely loathe being "forced to listen to" overh...

Hi all, I work at a Fred Meyer store, and at Fred Meyer, associates are paid at rates dependent upon department. For example, Home Clerks currently top out at $11.95/hour and Food Clerks top out at around $15/hour(unsure of the exact rate). Does this sort thing occur at Kroger stores, or is it just a...

So we used to do case discounts for customers (if they had a case of say, 24 cans of beans, they'd get 10% off those cans). Customers got used to this and quite a few still request it, but we've been (vaguely) told we're not supposed to do them except on special orders (i.e. huge orders where the total ends u...

it seems like ads are everywhere at kroger. on the carts, on displays, on the receipts and on the damn commercials. where should we put our ads next? i think that in order to satisfy kroger's goal of covering the entire store in ads, we should think outside of the box. post if you have any new ideas.

Just throwing this out there, who has heard any good intercom pranks at their store lately? Even accidental pages! I bet you'd have a hard time keeping your act together if you too heard someone from receiving who lost a bet page, "Where the hell is the toilet paper when you need it?!" :eyepo...

How is it that when Management tells you to do the hole shoot and a certain dept head hates you refuses to let you scan their dept. I have brought it up to management and they say I will talk to her about it, but never does. Then I take it to the next level and go over their head. Then I'm at fault for doing that. W...

What an opportunity I got to get out of 933 and transfer to a store where profits are put above politics. Where the store manager, manages the store and doesn't treat their job like a child, gossiping and walking about the store chatting on her cell phone/shaking her fat behind in front of employee...

How would you run a store? Unfortunately, I'd have to say if I ran the store I worked at, I'd have to run off half of the people I worked with. Management at my store believes in a country club environment obviously. How would you run a store? I'm a bit old school, full disclosure.
