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...

Found out that a few weeks ago the Unit Manager of the local store (south of Indy) was demoted to a co-manager after a bad Key Retailing visit. Apparently the store scored an abysmal 67% on an audit, and either the same day/next day, they were told to pack their sh!t and would be a co-manager at a different...

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?

So I've worked at Kroger eight months and have recieved nothing but good reviews. However, a couple of months ago, I tripped and hurt my leg. My deparment manager now kinda hates me. Fast forward several months and I'm still on light duty, and there's still a big problem I keep running into- Getting m...

We recently had a major power outage on an end of town the Kroger store I shop at is; it lasted for over six night time hours. The store was on auxillary power for all of that, but with no registers/U Scans available. There were dozens of area hood rats literally filling carts with food, beer and liquor......

Well I go into work today in the deli for the first time in three months, and found out that after I came in our next person (not counting the chicken person) didn't come in for another 8 hours. Management knew over a week ago that one girl in the dept. wouldn't be coming back due to a healthscare with her un...

The bathroom smells like pee but a strong pee , I would compare it to cat pee . Doesn't matter what you do it smells . You can wash it from top to bottom and...

Lately, all of the receiving folks have been jerks to me. I'm a bagger and sometimes I have to go through the receiving area to get access to the cardboard baler or to the trash compactor.

I am not sure if this is true. Maybe some of you have heard this. I was told the next wave (6 here in the Central Division) more department heads would be working the overnight/ third shift. I thought this sounds odd, has anyone else heard this.

It's November & someone cut the heater wire on the dock. I work on the dock. I've been told by management that the wire was cut by maintenance because someone put ice on the sensor so the heater would run. The heater is set at 55 degrees & 15 feet in the air & doesn't kick on until it's about 40 de...

Does anyone else hate the Kronos finger scan time clocks? These were supposed to make our hours " accurate and precise." I haven't been paid correctly since they started it here.

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.
