Who do I talk to if they messed up my check? manager or who?

Anonymous

you know the one's up front with the flashing red lights that go off when someone steals something, well do your stores actually stop and engage those customers that set the alarms off?

My fiancé put his two weeks notice in about 7 months ago and wanted to come back Kroger. He was wondering if he would be able to get his pay back. He worked for Kroger for 4 years. I heard about people getting rehired at the pay rate they left at. Is that possible?

eschedule has been giving seniority to those folks who once (in the past) held a dept head position (over other --non dept head--employees who have worked at the company longer). I found out today that this practice is WRONG. People with more seniority (based on hire date) are being screwed out of d...

I posted awhile back about certain cell phone stories. Here is a new one going on at my store: We got a new manager about three months ago. Very nice older man, but an absolute idiot. I noticed a couple days after he started that his wife would call on his cell phone and he would answer it on the floor, obli...

We were swamped on Saturday due to the weather forecast. I even saw the store manager bagging. Apparently they had only one person working at the customer service desk. I'm working back in the bakery. Deli was swamped too. The bakery phone rings and I answer it. It's some idiotic woman standin...

Has anyone else out there noticed a trend of people from other countries using Food Stamps and Wic. I live in an area where we have a good size population of people from around the world. Please don't take me the wrong way. I have nothing against these people. I just can't understand why we have children g...

I think it's funny that the Kroger company has the money to buy a bunch of Cincinnati Bengals tickets (ok they're going to military families which is nice and all but a football game shouldn't be anyone's priority) while they screw over all the employees in the week after the holidays.

Are any other Kroger stores getting these? I just came back from vacation on Tuesday and found out about this bs. We have to wear these overshoes over our own shoes even if we already have slip resistant ones. They're really heavy and bulky and walking in them feels weird. I got the biggest size because I...

Within the last 3 months, there was a post on ordering with CAO. I am unable to find it. Someone gave info on how to set the forecasting and I want to try to use that info for our store. We have some products that are over forecasting and other products that are under forecasting.
