As a new employee, my schedule has changed week to week where I dont find out the schedule until ONE DAY before, sometimes literally HOURS BEFORE my next shift. Ive worked 7:30an shift, 9:30am, now 12:30pm without prior notification. Is this typical? To let an employee know less than 24 hours of thei...

The QR code sends me to a website saying I have to login from a browser. The web browser won't recognize my EUID OR password. What is the MyTime app? In the app store there are like 10 different ones. This is the stupidest thing. Clearly something is faulty with this POS. Any help appreciated. Even my ma...

As the question in the subject line stated, are the paper checks being eliminated because of this new system? Because not only on the last two holidays, Labor Day and Columbus Day, but for two weeks in a row I haven't received anything. Not only that, but I was talking to my HR rep and he informed me that a ...

I've been thinking of transferring. Since 2019 (covid start) my store has literally only had enough cashiers to have only self check out open. People sure get pis--sy about this. Long lines, verbal harassment from customers that refuse to go through it. Verbal harassment from customers that refus...

Not sure about you but I'm tired of seniors (55+) cussing us out over the scan id policy. It's here to stay and it's permanent like it or not. You don't need to act like @$$ holes over it. If you fellow associates get cussed at so much once I'd suggest to refuse the service of liquor sales. We do not show up to...

If you refuse to have your id scanned for the liquor rule: Please don't be an @$$ about it. Just be professional about it. I have zero respect for people being dic*-ks. Thank you. I have lost complete respect for multiple regulars because of this. The longer this goes on the more of a douche bag you are. ...

I thought Kroger was too greedy and cheap before especially in staffing their stores. They are more interested in record profits, bonuses, and dividends then fully staffing their store to provide coverage from open to close. I checked their financials. Guess what Krogers free cash flow is goin...

This did not affect me but apparently all the salaried managers lost their pay this week due to the merge. Some hourly associates got affected by it as well. This is a huge grocery store merge. People have yet to realize the velocity of this merge. It's huge and creates a monopoly to a degree. The only b...

Don't worry about your jobs yet. Manager told us that we won't see store level affected until about 2024 IF the merge even goes through. Just like any other merge some stores will be sold off to prevent a monopoly. Fellow coworkers you may want to have a plan b just in case. The last time slaveway merged t...

I don't blame the temp workers as they just get trained, realize the job isn't all that great, minimum wage for years maxing out at below $20/hr and only promotional opportunities is management. I can't tell you how many people I see come and go from starbucks.

Can we get some programmers who are not on drugs to fix the Harvester issues? The biggest one is this nonsense with splitting items into multiple totes. A customer orders 12 packs of Kool-Aid and they have 2 totes on my trolley - let's get 10 packs and put in one tote and then get 2 packs and put in another t...

I've been seeing a hell of a lot of ebt users that are actually drug addicts. Your wonderful government dollars at work. These people put this program to shame for those that actually need to use it. They won't break their addiction but they sure the hell won't get employment or housing benefits.
