Since I work at Krogers I hear their ads a lot, and in one ad the announcer mentions pink peppercorn ice cream. Has anyone else heard this ad? I don't know if the ads in all the stores are the same. In any case, I always go to the ice cream aisle to look, but I've never seen it with my own two eyes. It seems like s...

Kroger is ''Customer 1st'', but the chicken count always seems to outweigh the customer because, ''the numbers 'have to be 100% correct' and always 'on time' '', like we're machines or something of the sort. Just another example of kroger's 'finite wisdom'.

The following is a copy of a letter sent to the international office. I have to wonder if they ever follow up on complains. towards the locals. This is a case where they never did and the local 1000 rep and president failed to do their job as they are paid to do. Just believe that a number of their reps just...

Ok, what's up with this? Our store is in its fourth week of the new e-schedule thing, and it's hard to decide how I feel about it. On one hand I'm happy, because I just spent three months straight working 11-8 on Saturdays, and I have been off two Saturdays in a row. On the other hand, it's crazy. It breaks th...

I was not hired as Cashier nor trained to run register, but yet this guy up front continues to call ME out of all 50+ employes in the store to come up and run one when busy or even slightly busy. He is not a manager or Dept. head, just one of the Courtsey Clerks that runs Customer Service & registers. I hav...

Had a customer jump down my throat for purchasing markdowns. She seemed to think that employee's should not be allowed to buy markdowns. She went so far as to have a manager come to the check out and wanted him to force me to give her the chicken and beef that was in my cart. How stupid. She really got pissed...

Now this is not about me or my local union. I have not had or seen problems like this in my local. But now in ufcw local 1000 , this is becomming common.

I had to work a late shift one day. The bagger that was working with me made up a lie to take off early. Another bagger took over and as a result had to do double duty This person has been known to lie before to get out of working and has been reported and is still here. I still wonder why.

Hello, I'm thinking of applying to a kroger starbucks. I already hold a barista job so I have experience...I was just wondering if anyone here knows whether or not this is an exclusive position in the store or could you be moved to other departments at times also? Thanks!

I just saw on KTV this morning that Kroger is now starting the process of phasing out the team stocking guides. Not sure how long it will be until it trickles down to every store. Guess it took them this long to realise that every one just fudges the numbers and it is a complete waste of time. They are saying...
