For about a 30 minute span, we had 6 registers open and only 2 baggers (including me) to bag them. This was during the "evening rush hour" and the acsm never bothered to call the 3 or 4 other baggers that were "working" today up front. 1/2 the time it's the scheduler's fault, but 1/...

They're doing their best to shorten the checkout lines, which is great. But waiting in line for customer service is always a huge pain. I dread when I need something from there because it's an ordeal. They generally only have one person at the counter (even if there's two people, one is usually sitti...

Me and my husband were both let go from the company. He had been there 22 years as a department head and I had been there 12 years as manager. GET OUT as soon as possible. You would think after 22 years they wouldnt do something like this but they did. Oh and if you think you will get unemployment YOUR WRONG. G...

Supermarket giant Kroger Co. (KR) is winning the war against lengthy checkout lines with a powerful weapon: infrared cameras long used by the military and law-enforcement to track people. These cameras, which detect body heat, sit at the entrances and above cash registers at most of Kroger's rou...

I have never seen such a petty micromanaging bunch of idiots as these people. Who cares the way the stock truck was loaded as long as it had product on it. They wonder why morale is so low.

I work customer service center, 4 - 8hr shifts, and we are never given breaks. Our managers don't seem to think that we deserve them - after all we just stand around all day and do nothing! Of course we are called to give the rest of the front end their 15 - 30 minutes breaks. Somewhere the management, corpo...

Don't you love the new shirts we got to wear? And now we have signs saying new lower prices, wow fuel points!, and Faster checkout! The prices, that's debatable. Fuel points, nothing new there! But new faster checkout? How! We still don't have the hours and hardly anyone scheduled up front so it...

I just got hired and was given 34.5 hours my first week. I told them my availability was open, but that doesn't mean that I want to work that many hours. Can I specify that I only want say 20 to 25 hours a week? I don't care what days or times, I just want less hours.

Can someone tell me exactly what a "job step" in this company is? I looked on express hr because I noticed I had gotten a raise, and then I saw the job step thing. There are only 4 people in my department. My job step is 20, my next job step is 0030. I don't know what this means.

So yeahhhh, we were told by management today to make sure to put those tacky BoB stickers on *every* item at the bottom of a cart that isn't bagged. We've never done this before, what on Earth is the point even, when not a single customer gives a darn about a sticker of any sort unless they're 5. And this is i...

I have worked for Kroger now for almost 20 years. Had I have known back then what I know now, I would have ran the other way. I just love the new blue t-shirts that say " GLAD YOU ARE HERE" and " GREAT FOOD LOW PRICES." They should read the truth and say, " NO HOURS LOW WAGES."...

I'm less than a week into the job and I'm struggling. I'm a cashier and one of the front end managers told me that I should be up to speed in two more weeks. How likely is it that I could be fired if I'm not? I think I'm doing okay, I'm just slow, but I feel confident that I'll get faster as I gain more confidence....

I work with a woman who runs to the union anytime she doesn't approve of the hours I have or the job I'm scheduled to do. A co-worker was scheduled to work in the deli and she got pissed because she wasn't scheduled to work in the deli. So my supervisor accomodated her by scheduling her to work in the deli....

Is there such a thing as experience pay, where you make more based on the amount of experience you had before you came to Kroger?

... and that is you get to get away from your department for sometimes almost an hour and eat free food while still getting paid. That's all that's good about being on either one of those teams.
