Does anyone know exactly what formula they use for ELMS? I know that items per minute is a big part of it, but I also know that transation time and customers per hour have something to do with it along with some other things.

The system has been installed, but not activated at the store I work at. So, I don't know much at all about it. I'm not even sure what the name of the system is.

Has anyone else out there been noticing a lot of meeting going on at their stores? At mine, they had a meeting to teach the different generations of employees how to work together, and how front end supervisors can talk to the younger ones. Seem to me that since our contract is up this fall they are goin...

At my store the managment are bitching constantly about the cashiers scan rates, and how we need to get them up so there will be more hours for the front end, and how we need to get them up before that que vision stuff begins. While I don't work on the register that often, I have a few friends that do. And no...

Well maybe promised is an overstatement, but anyway here's the story. We recently learned our store is closing "because the location failed to meet sales expectations," according to a local news article. I'm not sure what that means, but I DO know it means I'm out of a job. Well, maybe....

A woman came up to the bakery counter and wanted a cake written on. She looked at the 1/4 sheet cakes for $15.99 and said Costco has cakes twice this size for this price. I told her this isn't Costco. Another time a guy came up and wanted to know if we were going to reduce the price on a pie because the crust...

So the new ad comes out for Thursday. We get in the tags to change, however, they are ALL out of order! Usually they are sorted by aisle and department. None of the tags had the location system numbers on it. I find out that they are actually sorted by thier UPC number, in order increasing in number. This ma...

What are Kroger's rules regarding the use of smokeless tobacco by employees while on the clock and/or while on Kroger property? My store manager turns a blind eye to this problem and allows a few employees, including a dept. mgr. to chew & spit while on duty. They do this even in our tiny lunch roo...

Tho I've spent a decade buying the Great Value and Sam's Choice generic products, I'm recently finding myself gravitating more to the Kroger brand stuff. The prices are at least comparable and, frankly, the quality is better. Examples of crappy Great Value stuff: paper towels. Man, that stuff is sk...

We were given a cookout for having so many days without an accident and guess what. They served strawberry creme cakes and nobody from the bakery complained about it.
