We got a letter at my store yesterday from the zone manager that said no overtime allowed unless approved by him. Anyone else hear anything like this.

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.

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'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.
