(1): "Sorry, we just don't have enough hours in the budget." CRAP. These are salaried managers, they can do pretty much whatever they want to. Every manager has a HUGE number of hours they can use you for; it falls under business needs and is actually written off on taxes as operating ove...

We are being told that when we work a 4 hour shift in the Pharmacy we are not entitled to a break. Whats up with that?

There are five part time people in our department and 7 full timers. We used to have 16 people, now we are down to 12. So I see this sign made by our department manager that reads : Accepting applications for part time clerk / truck person. No experience necessary. 15 to 30 hours per week. See departmen...

Today they put a sign on every register that basically says "Now hiring smiling faces, up to $13.20 depending on experience." After we were all done guffawing, I realized that this really offends and embarasses me. It really makes me angry. To stick that on a register where someone is sta...

I was told by the end of the month that the Meat Department is going to have to start hanging their own tags in lunchmeat. It seems like they keep adding more and more stuff to our list of things to do, but claim those hours are in our hours. Well, I am going to the union meeting at the end of the month to see what...

Anyone heard of this? In Michigan, laws have been changed due to the right-to-work legislation that was pushed through by the governor. Now, the union stewards are asking employees if they'd like to stay in or opt out of the union. If they want to stay in, there's a form to fill out. If they opt out, then ...

Within the next few weeks, a total of 3 baggers are gonna be promoted to other departments. I'm not one of them, but I do think I'm definitely worthy of one sometime in the future. Are there certain things that store management is looking for from baggers in order to promote them?

The problem is, is she cant remember if she was given the option to quit or is she was terminated. So, my question is, how long are...

After almost 38 years with this company, I'm retiring soon. To paraphrase an old poem, "It was the best of times. It was the worst of times." With all due concern, this company REALLY needs to train their employees the way they use to. It's said they don't have the time or the money to invest in...

Just started working at Kroger recently, No one has showed me how to use the time clock at all. All I know is what the computer training taught me, but does someone have to install you into the system or what?

I was hired last year as a grocery clerk and I would like to transfer to a store closer to home. What are several things I should do first? If I can get a grocery position at the new store, can I work exclusively on the weekends, mornings and overnight instead of the afternoons?

Well last night a customer tipped me 2$ . In the 7 months I have been here , he was the only one to tip me . He gave it to me while I was bagging , he slid it on the piece under the bags and whispered "Just between us". If I got tipped a 1$ or 2$ by every customer I baggeed for or who's car I loaded or who's sh...
