My elms score or whatever it is, is 85. I scan pretty fast, I hit eft tender when the customer is digging around for their checkbook, and yet I cant seem to get past 85. I see 95's, 100's... how the f@ck do people get up that high? And of course when I ask them for tips, they wont tell me anything because they do...

Walking into a Kroger store is what I imagine China would be like under Mao with pro State messages from the Chairman being blared into the streets from loudspeakers every ten minutes. Does Kroger really hire people so supid they don't know how much people hate commercials or do they really not give a *...

Now Kroger is running scare tactic commercials directed at senior citizens to get them to buy Shingles vaccinations on the advice of a grocery store Pharmacist whose salary is being subsidized by Merck. No mention of consulting with a doctor. Yeah they really give a Rats Ass about our health.

Just curious, but have you ever worked at a store where it seems like one guy gets sick, another one breaks his back, another one ends up in the hospital for some problem, the guys supposed to replace them are not up to snuff, IF the guys who are out of commission are even replaced at all...and then you have...

I have 6 hours to finish 9 isles and they must all be done perfectly, everything L blocked. The problem is it usually takes me 7 or more hours to finish and the managers keep giving me **** about...

This next month is the last fiscal period of the year for Kroger. This is the one where everyone has to cut to the bone on hours and dollars spent on supplies and inventory to make it all look good for the Corporate big wigs. So my manager says we need to cut another 100 hours from the Grocery Dept. for next we...

I'm confused, is the goal >.50 or <.50? I've been doing pretty good the last few weeks, my elms always being in the top 5. But then I was suddenly asked to print out a thingy (nosale-96-signon) and was told that my .47 tendertime was bad and that below .50 is considered failing. (the lady that told m...

What is your view on working Christmas Eve/Day? Me personally, I would NEVER work those days, even for time and a half. Family and friends come first in my book around the holidays, no matter what the job. I'm certainly not going to be 'doing time' at Kroger of all places, being the worst.
