So yeah, there's a catchy pop song that plays about every day at our Kroger, definitely sung by a woman. The lyrics in the chorus are "Not a picture perfect cookie cutter girl, (cause?) I don't wanna be a stereotype", and aside from a handful of mentions on the Internet (other people lookin...

There is an instrumental swing/big band/jazz song on the radio at Kroger. I don't know much about that kind of music. It sounds like it would be on the "Swing Kids" movie sound track. The start of the song (drums) is a very famous bit. I've heard it before, seems like a lot of places (movie...

What is the dumbest thing you've been written up for? Here's a classic: Not calling management for help whenever ONE of the 5 lines has more than one person in line. Like what the hell

I work in the meat department and we've been doing quite well in the past few years with sales up and very little shrink, however despite having all these sales our hours are cut down. I love my store manager, he is an awesome boss, but he lets the district manager walk all over him. We could push forward an...

Is this normal? I was wearing a sweatshirt to work all winter - the standard black one with a zipper. Today was chilly (the temp was in the 50s and we work right near the door) so I was wearing my sweatshirt and the manager comes over and tells me "it's too warm to be wearing a sweatshirt, take it off!&q...

I am so glad Mother's Day is behind us now. If I had heard that stupid "ad" on the intercom one more time I would have stabbed my pen into my ear canals just to keep from hearing it again. Our store must have run that stupid 'commercial' multiple times a day, it was one of the only ones I couldn't tu...

I'm trying to set mine up and I'm not sure what I'm supposed to write in the "deposit" box at the end? I want my whole checks to be deposited. Also I don't know what deposit type I'm supposed to select?

I mean, not everyone is going to go home and fill out an online feedback form. Personally if a customer tells me I am doing a good job, that is what I take to heart, not some electronic gobbly-gook that supposedly says we need to do a little better. Yea every department could improve but I don't need a compu...

Seriously, the lyrics of that song make me want to punch someone. "I wish it were Sunday because that's my fun day. My I don't have to run day" how about you shut up with your lazy rhymes. The fact that I know those lyrics is seriously upsetting. Every day I work, Kroger plays it over and over a...

Significant incident report is it a write up? They just had me sign one for failure to follow instructions.

Think about it. We may be classified as a Grocery Store but it's gone beyond that. I feel like we are a wanna be Walmart. No one wants to buy a cell phone at a grocery store.

I will shop at Kroger, but NOT the Indianapolis Kroger at 71st and Graham at Binford Blvd. Previously I would visit the store 3-4 times a week, but that all changed on March 22, 2014.
