One of the most bizarre customers to ever grace my Uscan. Cart FULL of groceries that they needed a second cart to put the bags. They're eating potato chips that they're spilling all over the floor (wonder if they paid for them). They ask me for help scanning their items (which means I'm now their person...
Mysterious and confusing lure about a "Ultimate Tailgate Experience". Named Frito Lay, Coca-Cola, Jennie-O, P & G, Heinz, Kraft, Rojo's, Smithfield, Kellogg's, Keebler, OLE, and Arrowhead as co-sponsors, so maybe we don't need those brands, either. Up with sports, down with corporate!...
What are your pros and cons of the job? How many cases per hour do you throw per night? Do you feel as long as you throw 45 CPH that you will not get fired? I enjoy the job but I am getting older and can't see doing it for another 5 years. What department is more long term?
Im sure we all have some fine insults customers have thrown in our faces? I think my favorite was the other day when a customer said something about being mental(I dont know what exactly but it seemed to be implied she thought I was retarded just for sweeping the floor near her. Guess wanting the floor to...
Nice to see some of these stores still employ piss poor associates. So some valued always right customers wanted some chips ahoy but low and behold the shelves were empty! We all knew they had stock in the back room but you associates are too lazy to grab some cases and re stock the shelves. Dont you know t...
First off let me start by saying that I know I'm gonna get troll comments on this post. I don't care. But yes this did actually happen, and I'm not sure what to do about it. So I'm a young college girl, and I work part time in the meat department. Of course, the meat department is widely a male department, bu...
so ive been working at Kroger for about 7 months now and i had to call in sick today for throwing up violently this morning. Could i be fired for calling in sick? I called in 2 hours before my shift. Am i required to bring in a doctors note to not get fired. I am freaking out that i might loose my job for this beca...
In the Savannah Georgia area about 50 or 60 miles from Savannah they were going to build a new Kroger. They purchased the land a few years ago maybe 5 years ago. Found out that the land was contaminated not sure with what. It turns out Kroger sold the land and now this town is getting a Publix. I do not know i...
I am debating quitting my job at Kroger. I would like input from this forum. I can no longet handle the hostle work environment. For the meager wages we are paid.
why is that? When a big wig or even a measly corporate worm comes in, nobody tells it how it is. All they want to do is pump in the hours to make it look pretty and pretend this is how it is every day when that couldn't be further from the truth. In all my years, all I've heard about any minor gripes is "gee I wi...
The past couple months things have been crazy. Aside from the nearly 20% reduction in hours, 6 store managers were given new opportunities for their Kroger future. Among the options are retire, step down or get fired. Every single one of these individuals are 55 years and older. With the exception of...
Cart pushers are the least valued in the company, the people who bring in just a few carts at a time get praised while us people who bring in 12 carts at a time, without customer disruption get in trouble for doing so, We do use our cart straps and on several occasions we have had managers tell us it is ok, ev...
Don't like 'em. When you walk up to one, it automatically activates and says, "Welcome to Kroger. Please scan your shoppers card now." More on that later. If you're paying with cash, and you want to deposit coins, you literally have to wait 5 seconds after depositing a coin before it will register...
They took away all the handheld devices for the Uscans at my store. When I asked one of my managers about it he told me we werent using them anymore. I have no idea why, because they were really handy and its kind of annoying not having it anymore. I just think this is weird and cant figure out why they would d...
