But not all stuck with me. #1 When i was new and learning the trade, I was told that if i stuck with kroger about a year then i would know enough to be able to go to other places and make real money. If not then I could stick around a...

We got a C in the deli from the board of health. When they cut hours as drastically as they have, sanitation is the first thing to go.

Does anyone know where Kroger orders their cleaning supplies from? I would really like to have one of those stand-up dustpans that they use in the store, and no one at my store seems to be able to help me out.

We just had 2 cashiers moved at our store over low ELMS scores. Has anyone else had this happen at your store? Is it even legal to punish someone over a measurement that wasn't in place when they first started, or is it just considered as low job performance?

I was told in our contract it states that there is a 40 hours locked in for people hired before a certain year. I do not fall in this bracket. I'm concerned because the company doesn't want to up it a few years ahead. I was told they could virtually work me 28 hours a week even though i'm full time status. Do yo...

I've always wondered this. I dont think it should be required, hell no job at Kroger should require a degree. Any trained monkey could do every job Kroger has to offer.

So basically, I used to be a lead nutrition clerk, right? I was averaging close to 18k a week in sales, working by myself. Finally, it got to the point where the extra .60 cents/hr wasn't worth it, so I stepped down. I switched with a fellow co worker, and all was well. Or so I thought. I noticed I was st...

Just curious, but do department heads recieve bonuses for meeting goals ie Key Retailing, Shrink, Sales etc. or just a little more pay and lots more headaches? Looking at trying to move up and I tell you it doesnt look like a lot of incentive here in Central div. Thanks for any replies =)

Don't ever work in the deli department at L-346. You won't like the manager. Today she was telling different people they couldn't take their vacations because they happened to fall during senior week. You can't eliminate weeks from the vacation schedule just because they happen to be holiday we...

Well last night in the deli we only had three people scheduled for the whole day, not counting the chicken person. I come in at 1 and find out that the chicken person had to leave early because she got sick and I had to do chicken for the rest of what would have been the chicken shift. But did they even try t...
