I had to deal with a customer who got something for nothing. She had a problem not getting an OOD item that was on sale because the on-sale price expired some time ago. I go for a price check and she decideds to go there because she had to be somewhere soon blah-blah-blah. We get there and she makes a big sh...

I work with a girl, and she's nasty to me for no reason. She pretty much hated me from day one, before I had ever met her or done anything to her. Well anyway, she makes snide comments over everything I do. Whenever I work with her, I know it's not going to be a good day, and it's stressing me out. I don't know if...

I have been at Kroger for about two weeks. I have never been late. Have not called in. I have a son that is sick and I have no one to watch him. Will they fire me because I called in and have only been there two weeks?

Last year, Michigan voted against a clause to put the right to collective bargaining into the state constitution. Because it didn't pass, the governor proposed, and passed, a right-to-work law. Basically this means it is not mandatory for an employee to join a union even if their workplace is union...

Anyone heard of this? In Michigan, laws have been changed due to the right-to-work legislation that was pushed through by the governor. Now, the union stewards are asking employees if they'd like to stay in or opt out of the union. If they want to stay in, there's a form to fill out. If they opt out, then ...

Why would Kroger fire a Customer Service Desk employee for helping a customer scratch off lottery tickets. It was at closing and the customer asked her for assistance. No written warning at all, just terminated. What say you?

So... yeah, it seems the store I'm at fails at Key Retailing and corporate isn't very happy even though I've heard from certain people in management that our store is the second busiest in the district with numbers that are getting better year after year. Management and the department heads got torn i...

what are the benefits of a full time employee

I looked at my paystub for 1/4/13 and it looks like they're taking out too much for medicare. I believe the tax rate is 1.45%, but it looks like they took out closer to 6%. I looked at my paystubs for 2012 and they took out only 1.45%. I am aware that Social Security payroll taxes have increased from 4.2% to 6...

Our contract expires this June and I have not heard anything regarding negotiations or updates of any kind. Has anyone heard anything regarding the status of our next contract ? I am wondering how the passage of right to work will affect talks between the union and Kroger (Michigan). Any info woul...

With these comments by Dave Dillon , I have to wonder what the plan is for this company as contract talks come up for us and other locals. Mr Dillon said Kroger intended to continue covering all full-time employees but maintained that parts of the law were simply not workable. If you look through th...

On Wednesday we all had to go upstairs and take a computer test on data leaks. One of the things they talked about in the test was posting negative things about Kroger anywhere online, including forums. It made me laugh.

So how much of that new French bread has your store thrown away? A case (16 loaves) each hour for three hours is ridiculous. We probably wouldn't sell one case the entire evening. Anytime they do something like that and insist you do so much whether you know it's going to sell or not, somebody is gett...

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...
