I'm extremely curious to find out if/how many other employees out there have encountered an expectation/acceptance of working off the clock. Night crew foreman is treated as a salary position, especially with the key retailing policies in place and ELMS. Anyone??? This is illegal and against...

So I've been working as a cashier and u-scan attendent for about 6 months now. It's alright. Anyway, the opportunity has arisen for me to transfer to the pharmacy (the lady that hired me is pissed, but I hate her anyway). I am a biology student and I feel that having worked in a pharmacy would look a little...

Can management really tell me that i need to cut my hair. I am a male and I wanted to grow my hair out to an average 80's power metal level or axl rose level. Also can they prevent me from growing out my beard to a zach galifinakis level, not a zz top just a zach galifinakis.

I have worked in a Marketplace for 3 years. I have been in frozen food up until a month ago when the store manager decided to move me to the meat department to do lunchmeat because the person who had been doing it was failing. Now, after a month of working my butt off in lunchmeat he wants to move me back to f...

Does anybody have the same problem we have in my store? I work in Dairy, as backup. When my manager is off - and it is backstock day - no one but myself is scheduled in the dairy until late afternoon. On these days I have to write orders, completely fill up a case in the floral department, condition, do markd...

One of the more pastimes I have at work is to chat with the Pepsi vendor when he comes in while I'm filling ice cream. Being within the same age range (our 20s), we hold a lot of the same viewpoints in common. As we all know, there are few things more amusing than stupid customer stories. He and I share a lot of...

I upset a fellow co-worker today and he said "I'm going to murder you." At the time I was too busy trying to work out the issue but after talking to some friends they think I should go to management... I'm pretty sure it was a heat of the moment thing. I apologized for my oversight that had inconv...

I work in the front end as a cashier, and recently a lot of the other cashiers also have had our hours cut down from 30ish hours to at most 17 a week.And the worst part is, we have almost no baggers scheduled. Maybe it's the quevision we just started to use? Has this happened at anyone else's store?

While at work today in the deli, our CSR called for all departments to help up front. she called three times right in a row and I was trying to make the sandwiches and hotdogs they want us to have out at four. So I couldn't go the second they hollered. Finally the dept. back-up tells me to go up front or t...

I've been with Kroger for 3 years since July, and hit full time about 3-4 months ago. I've been told by several other employees that I should have recieved a second vacation on my 3rd anniversary, but I haven't and HR can't even tell me (she's a nut). They were renegotiating the union contract not too lon...

I work as backup in the deli, as I might have mentioned a few times.. not sure. Anyway my manager is really useless. We have more drama than any other department. I'm wondering if this is common or just something that happens in just my store cause I've seen a few of the comments here that are about the d...

Have they made any changes to the ELMS formula? I have noticed in the past year, that it is getting harder to make ELMS, specifically with items that have a large quantities (such as someone having 40 Kool-Aid packets). These orders used to bring my ELMS sky high. Now, I am lucky to get over 100%.

Is an allocation how many rows or facings have been given to an item, or how many of a particular item will fit on a shelf?
