They said they put it in. A day before Im sent to return I get a letter from the head of HR over my division stating my leave...
I can't tell you how many stupid customers I've seen wearing their mask over their mouths and not their nose. I've also had multiple customers pull down their masks to talk to me or my coworkers. Why are people so dumb
People are fed up with not being able to work and everything being shut down. Many small businesses, 24% in one report, will not be able to recover unless they get an influx of capital to get them back the way they were before being shut down. Churches are also protesting. Violence is not too far behin...
Our customers are and we've had several people get nasty about it. Gee thanks for stealing from front line workers and not giving respect to the workers keeping your bellies full of food. After two weeks the manager started leaving the masks locked up in the office and gloves in break room. After that t...
Closet door by restrooms up front was open. I saw two rolls of toilet paper the big industrial toilet paper sitting on the shelf. If I had not already had any I would have grabbed those 2 rolls. I should have taken it with me Kroger people don't really need it. You do not need to take a sh** in public while t...
Viruses don't just go away just because people are staying apart from each other. The virus is still there and as soon the social distancing guidelines are lifted, the number and severity of cases is going to go up. You can't hide from a virus. The only way to defeat it is if enough people become infec...
Hey guys! I'm currently working on a story about essential workers, and one section is going to be about grocery workers. I'm focusing on Kroger since I am an employee. I thought it would be a great idea to get some statistics for my story. If any of you guys would be willing to, here's a Google Form...
One of us got tested because hospitalized. Company let us know of positive test for covid 19 like a week later ( many thanks to county health dept for making them do it). Someone else decided to self-quarantine because exposed out of concern for family and self. That person is now "no call no show" so...
Today, I was at work and my coworker was standing doing nothing for long periods of time for 3 hours straight. She was supposedly wiping down baskets as the courtesy clerk brought them in. Thats ok to wipe baskets down but when theres nothing left to wipe down, you can do something else. Kroger is a trash...
Happened yesterday again. A fat one came in and demanded a sale price for an item from a sign that was posted (on Saturday night) 10 hours before the item would be on sale tomorrow morning (Sunday) -- putting out ads before our evening shift ended for tomorrow morning. Any ideas on how to rid the planet o...
I live in Ohio. On Saturdays they tell us we can wear football shirts. One of the women in our department wore a Michigan shirt and she ended up being forced to change because the shirt was deemed "offensive to customers." What kind of weakling do you have to be to get offended over a football s...
I hope this makes you smile. I live in the country. So you can imagine that it takes me a while to get to work. I do see deer at the side of the road on occasion. However, today I passed four or five turkeys on two different moments. One of them went across the road. And it's not even November yet.
Do all produce tables in your Kroger store get "oiled" every so often, (to make them look shinier) usually when doing resets, especially the front display tables? Just wondered if they do that at all stores. Personally, I think they WAY over-do it at my store. Sometimes leaving so much oil it looks li...
True story. Dressing room had a very small turd ball on the floor. After giggling for 10 minutes and taking some smart phone pictures of it to share, I cleaned it up. Wasn't sure if coronavirus is in turds or not.
No, you should not. Terrible seeing these young and otherwise vulnerable people falling into the hands of this gang. The pandemic will be over soon. The harm caused by signing away your rights can be permanent. You can do so much better. Recent hires ease weigh in on this.
