Hi. I worked for Kroger for 36 years. I started in June 1972 and retired in May 2008. Overall my years at Kroger were OK. I was lucky enough to retire before they changed the retirement. I really feel for those friends of mine who were within a couple of years of retireing when it all changed. I worked in the...

How long do you have to work at Kroger before you're unionized? I've heard 30 days and 60 days. I need to know because I might get fired for something stupid.

I started out in the deli and (this goes without saying) hated it. Because I'm a good working I quickly got transferred to the Bistro. I like the Bistro for the most part and enjoy the people I work with. But Lately I've been thinking of switching to front-end assuming I could get a guaranteed 40 hours...

So I'm waiting in line to check out my groceries after work today and remember the article stating Kroger got the wait time for checkouts to an average of 30 seconds. When do they start calculating this time? If you start from the time I stepped into the checkout line to the time I got my stuff bagged and...

Something suddenly came up and I won't be able to come in to work on Friday. Is it better to call off ahead of time and give them a few days to find a replacement, or should I call the day of? I would prefer to let them know ahead of time because I feel bad, I wouldn't do it if it wasn't absolutely necessary. But...

So last night I came down with a bug, took some Advil and decided to sleep it off. This morning I woke up with a terrible sore throat and felt congested, etc. I called in two and a half hours before my shift and spoke to a store manager who was upset that I was calling in. He's not even associated with my dep...

Hello, My hubby and I moved from CA to AZ. He was told to fill out the transfer request form for food 4 less and send it to the HR guy here in AZ which he did. The man he spoke with told him to send him copies of the paper work and let him know when we got into town, so he could finish sign some other papers and start...

This is going to sound dumb, but I still can't figure out how to park a call so another department can pick it up. No one has time to show me, so I usually call the department and ask the question. So which button sequence parks the call?

Hello, I'm so worried I might get fired. I just started working at Kroger about 2 weeks ago in the Produce Deparment. I was on my own from 10 pm to 11 pm tonight to close up, and I had to put all of the corn husks in the compost outback, so I was going to go do that, and I forgot that the alarm was activated. I set of...

I was fired from Kroger today over the phone. I was told that "I wasn't pushing good enough numbers". I'd been working there for little over a month as a night shift stocker and I've been told I work much harder than a certain slacker. I don't know how unions work or if this counts as wrongful te...

how do you become a journeyperson in grocery or another non-meat department?

NutritionWhore · Anonymous

So sometimes I shop at the Kroger I work at. There are many things that bother me at this store... like rude cashiers, mispriced items (especially things I don't buy on a normal basis but would if they were on a good sale). I want to give feedback and tell the store they suck and the management things they n...

I just became a supervisor two weeks ago and they trained me very little. Can some one tell me how to do a refund? And if there is anything else you can tell me that would help me out it would be great.
