They actually have plans to put in an elevator to the upstairs breakroom and offices when they do our remodel. I've heard the breakroom is suppose to be really nice. I just hope it's not too nice. People tend to tear things up, especially people on the stock crew.

I'm asking for a merit raise how long after the store manager okays it and sends it to HR does the raise show up on your check? Do you get retro pay from the time it was submitted? What happens to the hours you currently have towards your next raise? Do those count towards your raise after the merit incre...

My store in NM has instituted a 'no food or drinks allowed policy' for cashiers when working their registers. I understand no food, that's probably a longtime rule but some people have probably been taking it for granted. But this means that cashiers can't even keep a water bottle near their register...

So the zone mgr. visited our store and decided to join in the huddle. We had already been standing there for over 20 minutes listening to the co-mgr. rant on about OSAT, Key retailing, overtime, low sales, cao problems, etc. Now the Zone mgr. and the meat dept. mgr get into a long discussion about th...

Is it acceptable? I cannot for the life of me pronounce one of our manager's last name. I thought of paging him over the intercom as Mr (Firstname) but everyone in my department acted horrified. Now I just say "any available manager" when I need to talk to him and sometimes I get a manager who i...

So, in the two years I've worked at Kroger I've only called off three times. But for the past two days I've had a 101 degree fever, have been vomiting and dripping mucus, and shivering like crazy from feeling cold (despite my 80 degree room). I waited until two and a half hours before my shift, hoping the m...

how low are your store's osats? we're not reaching our goal and not really even close now. how often does your store want shoppers to do surveys? is it only the front end who does that? they want us to ask every shopper every day. it's too much.

With these comments by Dave Dillon , I have to wonder what the plan is for this company as contract talks come up for us and other locals. Mr Dillon said Kroger intended to continue covering all full-time employees but maintained that parts of the law were simply not workable. If you look through th...

At work Sunday a note was posted by management about call offs in bad weather. And it stated that they are tired of us using the weather as an excuse to call in. And it's (according to the letter) usually people who live closest to the store that call in the most during bad weather and that 95% of the emplo...

They schedule 3 people to close the deli on weekday nights, but then on the weekend they only schedule 2. Uh, hello? Barring Friday, we're pretty dead weekday nights, and we're slammed Saturday and Sunday to the point where we have problems closing on time. I don't understand the logic behind this??...
