I know its evitable for them to come into the Dallas/Fort Worth area in the next 10 - 15 years or quite possibly even sooner. If They do come to the area are you going to leave Kroger for them?

I'm under the impression that this is just a way to make morning shift easier. Evening shift sorting pallets, having no help, and expecting to get their normal work done? All the while being called to the front? Something is going to break.

So basically, I used to be a lead nutrition clerk, right? I was averaging close to 18k a week in sales, working by myself. Finally, it got to the point where the extra .60 cents/hr wasn't worth it, so I stepped down. I switched with a fellow co worker, and all was well. Or so I thought. I noticed I was st...

At our store to get full time you have to work 40 hours for 12 consecutive weeks. A guy in our store got full time because they thought he only had 6 weeks but he really had 12. He took a personal day several weeks ago and it was assumed that his progression started over at that point. It turns out if you ta...
