I have worked at Kroger since I graduated high school in 1993. I have been a bagger alot of this time. I was asked the other day if I wanted to transfer to another department. Either Produce or Stock Crew. I have helped out both areas more than a few times over the years. Which area would be better. I live w...

I can't f***** stand it when stupid c*nt customers don't know how to shop. DON'T be quick to grab something from a shelf if you KNOW you're gonna end up plugging it into another spot in the aisle or in the store where it doesn't belong when you spot another item that you think you want instead. WALK THROUGH...

I work in Drug/GM as the asst.dept head and our cosmetitian who has worked here for about 5 years now, has been stealing candy (for atleast the past year, that we know of). She will just go and grab a big bar of kit kats, reeses, or even makes her way to the bakery for a box of donuts and even some pringles occ...

My first day was supposed to be Monday. I completed all the CBL/training stuff like two days ago, and was told I wouldn't have a first day till then. Only today I get called in "Oh can you come in for some hours towards the end of the night". Normally with most jobs its not a problem since it usual...

Anyone else given a card with a bunch of "Associate Talking Points" on it, and told to memorize it all over night? I never imagined I would have to do homework for this job... I always zone it out and forget about it as soon as I leave the store.

When you get promoted from a bagger to cashier, does your seniority reset?

This is kind of a silly rant, but i wanted to know if this happens to anyone else. Sometimes a customer will stand right by me as i'm bagging their groceries. I find it it silly and annoying at the same time. I could understand if they were helping me bag but they aren't even monitoring my bagging, just lo...

Simple question, how many front end supervisors/managers do you have at your store? Ours has two. But it used to have only 1. It worked better with one - except for that one, who got tons of stress (and both had to leave because of it). Now we've had two to replace the one who left. Sometimes there's only on...

Is there a way we can stop this from being deducted from our check? Being a broke college kid isn't fun, and I don't get many house to begin with.

Or is it like any other job at Kroger where you clock in and start work not knowing what to do. I swear I came in yesterday morning at 6:00 am. Here's what was in the go back cart: bacon, 1/2 gallon soy milk, apples, red bell pepper, squashed loaf of bread, dvd, and a couple of platic bags full of groceries I...

Hi, Does anyone know how long it takes to receive your final email that you have been On-Boarded? I had my "Group Interview" last Wednesday. I did the background check (filled online the previous week, after setting up interview time) and drug test (the day of the interview). How long did...

My division just started key retailing wave 5. I am a dairy manager and all this seems like a waste of time. What is your opinions? GO!

Process a check as half off? Probably a horrible question and I know this is not a help center, but I had cashier live training today and almost got myself fired before I even started. Long story short, my Cashier I instructor never went over it and my Cashier II instructor thought we had already covered...

Question: Can an employee sign a full time bid for a position other than a department they're working in? I've been told I can't interview because I don't have skill and ability in that department but I've been working for the company for 5 years. Can I only sign bids for the department I'm currently i...

I live in small city in the South that is a popular tourist destination. My city also doubles as a popular retirement destination, largely for people from the Midwest/North (Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, Illinois, etc.) These people shop at my Kroger in droves, and I hate them.
