I wonder what you guys think of this, but I went into a Walgreen's the other day that I've been shopping at for years. There's a new manager there who has been there a couple of months, and from what I can tell, seems to have a very anti-customer attitude. He seems to be constantly on the lookout for potenti...

Just curious, has anyone been asked/told by management to come in and work a day on their vacationduring an "emergency?" I know they technically cannot have you come in if you don't want to; no matter what, but I was curious... Our management liks to "intimidate" at times. We ha...

They just rolled out the new signs and crap here in Central for the "New" Lower prices and such, and I'm not exactly seeing a difference other than more crap in the aisles, more fake self praise and more unhappy employees, not to mention the god awful t-shirts. Oh, and the nail-on-chalkboar...

So both me and my assistant meat manager have been working on our management packet. As of last week he had his second inventory, my first. He is now completely done.

I was wondering how much per week you pay for health insurance. I work for a Kroger in the Central Division in Indiana. I pay $10 per week for single coverage (full time since 05). I believe Kroger employees with dependents pay around $ 23.00 per week. Our Local UFCW 700 and Kroger have been in contrac...

mega-kitteh · So far, Kroger Sucks

Hi all, I recently started working at Kroger about two weeks ago, and so far, so good. Well I am 15 and was hired as a courtesy clerk and have been there long enough to join the union. Well a thought had occurred to me, I am a student and was hired during the summer and I am kind of worried that they will let me go...

I requested the 16th of July off because I have, or I should say HAD an ear appointment. I out it in 2 weeks IN ADVANCE in VERY EASY to read lettering (I.E.

So, we will all know that to take days off you let them know a certain time before they make the schedule right? Yet this fat a** co-worker of mine will just decide she has a doc's appointment and leave at like 9 in the morning (our department opens at 8) and she was schedule to work from 8-2. And it's just me a...

So I requested a day off this upcoming week. I put in the request on the escheduler two months ago. It still says pending on the e-schedule calendar.
