All this crap about getting only 12---18 hours per week makes me hair ball puking SICK. Folks, I don't know what the answer is here, but understand that you're not making enough money to even afford McNasty meals. All that's happening is this conglomerate dollar sucking bitch is USING YOU to get even r...

First off, I'm a bagger. I was scheduled to work until 2:00 pm. It's 1:58, and I just get done bagging an order. I then start to help bag for another customer in a different lane. Now the time's 2:01. I see another bagger coming up front, so I leave and clock out. As I'm about to leave, the cashier tells me I sh...

I'm a new-ish cashier, and I have a couple of questions: 1. I've had approximately 25 hours so far on the register, and about every third transaction I have a problem that requires me to call for help--customers fussing over prices, register stuff I don't know how to do, etc. I was told not to leave my l...

I have worked at kroger for 4 yrs now part time. I have a full time job in the evenings that sometimes during the summer months requires me to stay so late that I have to call in that night that I will be a sent the following morning. During the summer it's not uncommon for me to miss upwards of 10 days in 3-4 mon...

I'm working 4.5 hours today (3-7:30). Will I get a break and a lunch or just a break? I'm not quite sure if I'll get a lunch or not. I've never worked this short of a shift before. My shortest shift was 6 hours. -- Edited by DanielleNicole94 on Sunday 27th of July 2014 11:42:23 AM

We've had a manager trainee in our bakery department for the past two weeks. Today he was slicing cakes for cake for two. The bakery manager and two other women were there too. He got ready to leave and the bakery manager told him he needed to clean up his mess first. He said, "That's woman's wo...

I've been working at Kroger for about four months now, and I've been a kind worker who always gets their stuff done. Since I was part time, I worked maybe three-four days a week. As time has gone on, I'm lucky to get one day a week. Just this week, in fact, I have not been scheduled at all. I asked my manager ab...

I was told key retailing was 5 minutes per tote in Drug/GM. Seriously? A tote full of mascara and nail polish in little boxes that have to be opened, sticker & security strip put on them, then put on the shelf. In 5 minutes? Some totes have over 50 boxes in them. I'm sure they don't even account...

My store manager called me in to his office today, giving me this whole spiel about donating part of my ($7.75/wk) paycheck to the United Way, he had a form with my name on it and everything. I told him I can't donate this year, he grudgingly accepted and I had to put a zero in the amount box and sign it. Is thi...

It is really sad when people misuse their so called power. Manager are good at employees how easy a job is while the sit on their big fat ass. They show no consideration while they sip on their power drinks. Please pitch in and show how to do it missy. Thanks for the lesson for the lesson in how many manag...

What can I do? I see other people getting moved to the bakery, Donatos, or Starbucks (which are in the deli/bakery area so they take their workers from our shared pool of workers.) But no matter what I do, they won't move me. I'm a good worker and I've been there longer than most people, but whenever I ask t...

As a bagger and with the union, I am guaranteed a minimum set smoking of hours per week. But lately I have been given LESS than the minimum amount. I have talked to management and that did as much good as lighting a wet match underwater. So what I'm wondering is this; I have been scheduled way under again. W...

Ok, so I had originally 24 hours this week. I got called in yesterday to work in my department (produce) from 3-7 pm, and I was happy to do so. This upped my hours to 28. Today I saw that Kroger was calling again to probably call me in. I ignored the call and the voice mail was from the front asking if I could run...

Today, I was called in to pick up 7-8 hours after a no call no show; I gladly accepted the shift since that would put me in the upper-twenties on hours this week, and as a teenager I take as much as I can get. However, I am dependent on a ride and, in hindsight, should have checked to make sure I had a ride. As you...

Fully staffed but half our c...

someone fill me in, ok so the computer generates the schedule for them? how would that work? what will that do to those who have a fairly set schedule? I just cannot see how this is a good thing. Will it spread out night shifts or what? Is it true that it remembers what days you've requested off and sto...

I recently went full time into the freezer, and got written up there because I didn't edit the order on the computer. The main problems I have with this is: A) I did not have a login to the computer. I asked for the login three times, was given the response from my manager. "ya I'll put the order in for...
