I was closing with another associate tonight and we have an advertisement special for Tbones Family Packs for $3.99 / lb with no extra help. Well, I ended up cutting extra Tbones to match the sale and a few other things for the cutting tool to complete my 3rd cut. Well, its around 5:45 PM that I had just sp...

I just have a little beef about customers that come in 5-15 minutes before close. They expect us to stay open just for them even though we come up to them and tell them "pay now or leave." We usually make a P.A. system announcement for the last 30 minutes, the last 15 minutes, 10 minutes, 5 minu...

This isn't right, I'm gonna get a short nap, feel sick and exhausted from a lack of sleep all morning, then go ho...

Instead of changing out my till as had been practice under my old boss my new boss pulled the just the big bills and a bunch of twenties between customers. He had me do no sale-cash and open the drawer for him. I know I have the right to count my till between customers but we were slammed. Later one of the f...

I am a full time deli clerk who has worked for kroger for nine years. I applied for an instore drug gm position. I believe that the position was given to another employee with far less time at kroger. Should I file a grievance?

Just 10% on Kroger Products... They can do better. My friend who worked at Panera Bread got a 65% discount! Even 10% on everything they sell would be good enough for me. Kroger products limits my options especially if the customers get to them first.

Ever since I've started working at Kroger 4 years ago, the sink water from Starbucks has always been free. It's just water from the sink, after all. But last week, management apparently took all the Starbucks employees upstairs and told them they're going to have to start charging 30 cents for water....

this is just a little something I came up with to compare working with raising a child. When hired you spend the first two years trying to learn the company directions, issues and policies so that one can be a long term happy employee of the company. #! Then you hit the terrible twos`s where you become a te...

Even though I'm fairly new (almost 2 months) cashiers don't have to treat every time like it's my first week. If you leave me alone, I'll bag for you. If not, I'll leave and do something else.

Why can't our store buy a couple of those "cart pusher" vehicles like the ones that meijer uses? That would make our job 10X easier, especially during the winter when we can get up to a foot of snow.

Seems that Walmart is going to start Black Friday shopping on thursday about 8 pm. Ever wonder if this my be because of them being in fear of the employee`s organizing and setting up Black Friday stikes around parts of the nation?
