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...

I woke Monday morning with a terrible pain in my body (I don't want to be too specific because I fear that I may be singled out) and went to the Emergency Room. I was given hardcore pain meds and told to go home and follow up with a specialist. I called the specialist and was told they could see me Friday morni...

What a day! I paged for an override and the floor supervisor was in customer service so she called my register to see what I needed. I told her I need to supspend a transaction. She started yelling "Don't you yell at me, quite yelliing at me". WTF? The comanager was in there with her and on...

I just wanted to see what it was like in other divisions/contracts. How much more than a topped out full time clerk is the lead/manager position in these two departments? Here it is 1.25$ more (average volume without fuel 500k). Compared to the $4.00 more for grocery/produce/drug gm/scan coordin...

My reason for asking is with this new escheduling, we are not being given enough time to cover the dock proper...

Today we have about 6 half full carts of go backs. And even though we have 2 other courtesies, they chose (UN)-lucky me to do them. My co-manager said he wanted ME to do them in one hour. (The other two courtesies were doing other tasks, lot duty and bagging). Plus I was on sweeps, doing price checks, servi...

We had a lady (in my line of course) walk out with her buggy full of items without paying. Long story short my printer ran out of receipt paper and it did that annoying thing where it refuses to let you back out or move on until you replace it, and I told the lady to just wait to finish her transaction until I co...
