If it wasn't for some of the people I work with, I probably would have been searching for a new job elsewhere by now. I generally like my job because most of my coworkers are likeable. With that said, after nearly 2 1/2 years of service, I've started to become aware that I don't like it as much as I used to....

Just have to wonder why Kroger wants to delay everything unless they want to make examples out of our local. We are a small local ( 540) in Dallas and our contract is tied close to Houston's. Kroger never even wanted to set a date until the last minute to start talks and then a short time into it, came the eco...

Here at my store, we have a new policy regarding entering birth dates for alcohol and tobacco. Now we must ID and type in the birthday for EVERY customer regardless of how old they are. If someone is obviously over 21 it's a little awkward asking for their age, especially the women since they never want t...

at your store does "elms" allocate a fair amount of hours per department? I say this because I know that even though there is a "formula" it all has to do with which department heads are the pets. Our deli has more people than any other department (except maybe front end). Ther...

I am a sacker. People view sackers as the scum of the Earth. We aren't important to managers, customers, or other employees (only in rare cases for other employees). I have been almost run over in the parking lot of my Kroger because some people don't even give a second thought about who might be behind t...

When they propose a new contract why do they put so much emphasis on the words within the contract instead of dealing with actual issues that need attention? It seems like the last time we had a new contract proposed, they didn't help [most] of the employees (they helped dept backups and that's about i...

What is the criterion that Kroger uses for deciding who you can work for while you work for them? I contacted the union and they told me that there is no federal law that says you cannot work for whoever you choose - it is just Kroger law. Are all grocery chains considered competition? can you work for groc...
