I called in sick on monday with 1 hour, 45 minute notification prior to the start of my shift (only needed 1 hour notification). Today I got called upstairs and they were going to write me up for a no call, no show. Apparently there's a new procedure that front end people have to call the highest ranked man...

Now we have three. Occasionally, we would get a phone call from a resident informing us someone had left on...

Ok, I am on one of my days off (reduced hours, not regular day off) and in my store purchasing something with my debit card when this customer decides to get up close and personal.

Seems like every time I hit up the old Kroger's, I get to hear this ditty on the PA. I'm glad I don't have to hear that crap several times a shift. Oh, and on an unrelated note (slightly), I've noticed a High Five board or some such on the front end of my regular haunt, I think it has to do something with OSAT's?...

Hi, I just recently applied to Kroger on Saturday the 15th of June. I called on Monday and the hiring woman told me that they have received my application. How long would it take for them to call me for an interview? Or what are the chances of getting a job?

Recently, the eschedule was put into full affect at my store (great right?). However, before this and for two years I was getting 40 hours and to what I thought was status 3 because I remember signing the paperwork at the same time as receiving FULL TIME healthcare. I found out just days before the esche...

I have a lot of questions and I know I should wait until tomorrow, but it's eating me up inside! My town just opened a new "super Kroger" ( I don't know if it'll sell clothes and electronics and ect.) and I'm sixteen.
