I'm under the impression that this is just a way to make morning shift easier. Evening shift sorting pallets, having no help, and expecting to get their normal work done? All the while being called to the front? Something is going to break.

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'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...
