In Columbus, OH we were told last week that night stock would be coming in at 11pm instead of 10pm like we have since the 80's. I just wondered if this was "enterprise wide" like our managers have said. Also, they want the processors to come in only 1 hour before the crew. Thoughts? Somethin...

With local 540 contract due to expire, I have taken an unconventional aproach to a particulat article in our contract. Seems that every contract I look into, has 6th day pay for everyone but our local part-timers. If there are any local 540 or Texas employees here, I ask that you contact the local and te...

I've recently gotten a job as a night stocker at krogers (I'm told its part time.), and I go through oreientation in a few days. But what I'm confused about is how much I will be making a week. I think something was said about 8.50 an hour, but I would rather take advice from someone experienced. Im from tex...

They actually have plans to put in an elevator to the upstairs breakroom and offices when they do our remodel. I've heard the breakroom is suppose to be really nice. I just hope it's not too nice. People tend to tear things up, especially people on the stock crew.

I'm asking for a merit raise how long after the store manager okays it and sends it to HR does the raise show up on your check? Do you get retro pay from the time it was submitted? What happens to the hours you currently have towards your next raise? Do those count towards your raise after the merit incre...

My store in NM has instituted a 'no food or drinks allowed policy' for cashiers when working their registers. I understand no food, that's probably a longtime rule but some people have probably been taking it for granted. But this means that cashiers can't even keep a water bottle near their register...

So the zone mgr. visited our store and decided to join in the huddle. We had already been standing there for over 20 minutes listening to the co-mgr. rant on about OSAT, Key retailing, overtime, low sales, cao problems, etc. Now the Zone mgr. and the meat dept. mgr get into a long discussion about th...

Is it acceptable? I cannot for the life of me pronounce one of our manager's last name. I thought of paging him over the intercom as Mr (Firstname) but everyone in my department acted horrified. Now I just say "any available manager" when I need to talk to him and sometimes I get a manager who i...

So, in the two years I've worked at Kroger I've only called off three times. But for the past two days I've had a 101 degree fever, have been vomiting and dripping mucus, and shivering like crazy from feeling cold (despite my 80 degree room). I waited until two and a half hours before my shift, hoping the m...

how low are your store's osats? we're not reaching our goal and not really even close now. how often does your store want shoppers to do surveys? is it only the front end who does that? they want us to ask every shopper every day. it's too much.
