I would like to work in produce at my local kroger here in michigan part time as a second job. I have no problem lifting heavy boxes as I am a big guy and I already lift 80 to 90 lb boxes at my day job. Looking to here from other produce employees in the region on what to expect. I would assume as the new guy I wo...

Again I have to work to midnight. I find it very pointless because after ten no one comes in well rarely 10-12 about 5 customers and they all go through self check . So I'm waiting there with nothing to do so they get mad at me because I look bored. Re shop is all finishEd so I'm pretty much left to pray midnig...

Over the course of my seven months I have been pushed to the most seniority in my department except for my manager who has been...

We ran out of Kroger plus cards at my store today and they asked me to go to another Kroger and pick some up. I gladly volunteered because it was something different to do. 2 people told me they would compensate me for it. One person said they would give me a $5 gift card and one person said they would give me $...

This has been a constant problem since I've worked at Kroger -pallets* falling over during shipping. It's such an easy fix. They even have E-tracks built right into the sides of the trailer to hook straps to. So, why the hell don't the drivers use them? Pisses me off when the first thing I do is open a tra...

I have been with Kroger for about 3 months now and I read a memo about bonuses. I am a bagger and was wondering if I am entitled to one. The memo also mentioned that it picks the top rated clerk for the bonus. How will I know if I am entitled to the bonus? Also how will I know my rating?

I have worked at Kroger before. I know the mindset of a lot of employees and managment at the store. There is this whole atmosphere of filing greivences when something happens you don't like in the store, bumping schedules and times, doing your best to right any wrong Kroger does on purpose or accident...

I just got next week's schedule that was done under the e-scheduling and I was surprised and upset. It was all screwy! It has me working till midnights on a couple days when the bagger's night shift ends at 11 and gave me only 4 days to work when my availability is 5. I wasn't the only one affected by this....

If any of you recall my rantings in another post it was that I was under the impression that a lawsuit was the result of my pay being reduced. Well, I was wrong. It was a fluke on their end. I'm sorry if I wasted anyone's time with my silliness.

Today my store called in someone for sacking assistance... from a Kroger in another nearby city. They gave him a full 8 hour shift, but still. That's when I know my store seriously needs to start hiring some more help soon.

Is there a difference in pay between a bakery clerk and a cake decorator ? I would like to work in the bakery department but would be more interested in the cake decorating job versus just being a bakery clerk. Are some people in bakery specifically just cake decorators or do they do everything in the d...

Kroger sux big time

i am a bagger i am in the union i still have to do onsite training(did some training already) My questions Can i quit the union? What happens if I do? I ask this because the union obviously does not do ****. 7.25/hour is not something to be proud of. So to me it is like throwing $6 a week away.

I would just like to rant for a second here. I just think it's comical that managers, acsm, supervisors etc all treat the word "overtime" like a bad word. All overtime is STRICTLY FORBIDDEN no matter what! Yet our store manager asked one of our ACSMs to come back in the middle of the day to be ma...

I just started working at Dillions and I am on the Night Crew. The scheduling is kinda strange for me Is it a day behind? If my schedule says : Sunday 11pm to 7am. That means I work Sunday night to 7am Monday morning right?

How common is it for your store to break product? How often does it often involve you? I know someone in our grocery who managed to drop a few cases of spaghetti sauce in glass jars. Quite a mess. I didn't hear much about it though. One time my boxcutter slipped and it punctured three cans of cola from a six...
