So I am a bagger that got promoted to bakery. Sounds cool right? Well...... my experience was just a ****ing train wreck from the start... So, it took 2 months for them to get everything ready for my promotion. I get this call from the bakery manager literally *the day before* I was supposed to go train a...

In my second week at Kroger, here. Walked into work today and just had a feeling that it was going to be a bad day. Ever get those? I didn't feel like being there that day, but of course I went; I don't believe in missing work/something important unless I'm very sick. Well, all that day actually went good...

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...

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...
