The person in charge of hiring hired multiple new people for my department without talking to anyone. The head of our department tried to work around it by giving them training hours because they do need to be trained, but the store manager chewed him out. He ended up sending the new guy home. So are the...
So at first I thought I was a crazy b****. At my store the time clocks (additionally they put the riding carts exactly next to the time clocks) are located in a corner and in order to get to them you have to walk through self checkout. I swear every-time I get to the clock and clock in or out, its a customer in m...
Couple of times I have had women start labor in my line ("I am 5 centimeters dialated!") and sometimes elderly customers request a chair to sit down in. Have you ever had a customer have a serious medical emergency in your store and what happened?
Today they asked me to dump garbage in our stockroom and in one of our trash bins, I found 2 packages of unopened chocolate chip cookies and a busted open 12 pack of coke. (Some cans were leaking, so I took the unopened ones). The cookies were expired by a couple days. I took them from the trash bin and put th...
I've been at Kroger for a couple of years now. I normally just cashier (which I like) but once or twice a week I'll sometimes be have a shift at customer service (which I don't like as much but I put up with it) and on rare occasions I'll have to do self scan (if someone is on vacation. I hate doing it). I'd hone...
Has anyone heard if they got jobs at Walmarts or Targets maybe Meijer here in Dayton. I know the SM Who ran 933 into the ground cut and run a lemonade stand. And the one the one at 759 couldn't run a taco cart but they weaseled their way this far in life I'm sure they can weasel their way into another compan...
Got one of those "green" people with a ton of reuseablle bags in my line. In our store they are some of the most OBNOXIOUS customers that come in. She was going on and on about how she didn't have enough bags and I decided to have a bit of fun with her. I said to here that "I love my plastic"-and she looks at me r...
My vacation is 24.5 hours and can be split up into four days. My manager told me that I couldnt work the week I get my vacation hours put in, but I did it last year with no issues? Anyone know why its a issue now I worked 16 hours for the week I wanted to have my vacation hours put in.
Hello everybody and I am just writing this to mention a new app I have been writing for the past week. This app searches items and returns the PLU code for that item for those ones you can never remember. You can search by item or PLU #. Right now it's only on google play so here is the link: here. Note that i...
Why is it our frozen order is never all together? I can understand if it's a big order, but even the small orders are scattered among several pallets. In fact, it's worse. Stuff that could easily have fit on to one pallet will be scattered on four, five, or even six pallets. A lot of time is wasted just...
Do you know how to make football bread? I've been able to avoid making it for the last 20 years, but my luck has run out. The store manager wants it for Super Bowl. Do you use Italian bread dough? I have an idea as to how I would make it but I'm not sure if it's the "Kroger" way. Thanks
This one was e-mailed to me today:
A guy goes to Kroger to apply for a job. The interviewer asks him, "Have you been in the service?" "Yes," he says. "I was in Viet Nam for three years" The interviewer says, "That will give you extra points toward employment" and then asks, "Are you...
