We bake a lot of bread. Usually I either bake or bag. For some reason, I seem to be the only one who will put bread out when it needs to go out. Everybody else just throws it on the channel cart and maybe it will get worked when it's all bagged. One woman even gets upset if the deli manager tells her to fill...

Ok, the majority of the cashiers at my store are good people to work with. But there are some that think that they're the sh** and they'll want you bagging the way that THEY want you to bag. I'm a bagger and I never teach you guys on how to be a cashier. Don't give me this "I've been working here 35 years...

I don't know if this is just my store or not, but our front end always seems to be shortstaffed every day, and they're constantly calling for help from other departments. (i am a dairy mgr.) It aggravates me and it should not be happening. They have their own people assigned to that department, so they sh...

Ok so I want to work at Kroger while keeping my day job at another supermarket retailer but have been told that you cannot work at a competitor company. How would that be enforced ? Once I am off the clock, what is it their business to dictate to me where I can work and where I cannot ?

I am a file maintenance clerk and I'm just curious what is the next step after that? I love what I do, I am just curious as to what comes next.

It is going to be a lot of fun the rest of this year. Start a regrand opening next week and half the help that is coming from other stores will not be there. Have no market assistant and only one that wants the job but was sent from the store because of theft and shrink problems. Got rid of one person and cannot...

Worked from 10 last night until 6 this morning and now I have to pull my big girl pants up and work from 2 until 10. Just aggravated.

I have been working at Kroger for almost 9 years when suddenly I had my hours cut so much that I was reduced to part time status. I was at top pay, but now I make a little over $9 an hour now. I can barely afford to live as I am now being forced to borrow and take money from other people in order to pay my bills and li...

When you guys have food served to you in the breakroom, please take the leftovers and put them in the fridge. It's really depressing to see 6 hour old hamburgers and frenchfries go to waste. Sincerely, the hungry night crew
