Does anyone know exactly what formula they use for ELMS? I know that items per minute is a big part of it, but I also know that transation time and customers per hour have something to do with it along with some other things.

Has anyone else out there been noticing a lot of meeting going on at their stores? At mine, they had a meeting to teach the different generations of employees how to work together, and how front end supervisors can talk to the younger ones. Seem to me that since our contract is up this fall they are goin...

I work at ucan so it is not my job to go get him an electric cart so walk your lazy ass over there and get it yourself. Does anyone know if anybody gets fired from a crazy c...

A woman came up to the bakery counter and wanted a cake written on. She looked at the 1/4 sheet cakes for $15.99 and said Costco has cakes twice this size for this price. I told her this isn't Costco. Another time a guy came up and wanted to know if we were going to reduce the price on a pie because the crust...

The store I work at just had both the first of the month and senior Wedensday all in one day. We were super busy and had a hard time keeping the carts up to speed. To top it off our lazy baggers were there. So as fate would have it, it was the last hour of my shift and I had lot duty after one of the lazy baggers. I ha...

I've been debating whether or not to post this for about a week now. I've viewed this board as not only a source of very good information regarding things that haven't reached our region yet, but as a place to share input and help other employees. I also include nocturnia even though he is with Wal-Mar...

We have 4 employees whom recently were caught eating an item off the shelf a few nights ago by risk management. They said it was a sample but it was an hour before close so I doubt they buy that. The one girl is on camera getting the items and the other 3 just Were eating it. They were told they'd know in 10 day...

We were given a cookout for having so many days without an accident and guess what. They served strawberry creme cakes and nobody from the bakery complained about it.

So the stores in the Fort Wayne area have this thing called Zoo Week. One day of this week starts the event and 3% of all profits that day benefit the local children's zoo. The following 6 days customers have the option of rounding up to the next dollar to benefit the zoo that way. It's crazy how many custom...

Can a person be fired for looking for another job while still working at kroger? Does the union do anything or can the person still be terminated just for looking for another job.

There's a People of Wal-Mart site; I think there should be a similar one for Kroger! True story------folks, I'm an imaginative guy, but there's some shiit you simply can't make up---: a couple come into the store I shop at. He is white and at least sixty years old; he looks like the Crypt Keeper, only wea...

This happened to me a few years ago. I was at work and an elderly man was having trouble getting an electric cart to go. The people who were working customer care at the time couldn't figure out what was wrong. So they ask me to come take a look. I find out that it wasn't unplugged. But before I could get a word...
