You ever have a customer ask you to go get them some cigs? But when you come back to that customer and hand the cigs to them, the customer tells you that they didn't ask you to get them any cigs? Because the customer who did, walked away or moved to a different area, and or the customer who did not ask you for th...
One of our co-managers was called into our regional office about a month ago. The person in question has about 10 filed complaints with the Union. I was talking to my store manager and another manager just shooting the breeze and this subject came up. They said it "is never a good thing" when you get call...
.......today I haver officially topped out today. My final pay raise has finally kicked in. Four grueling hard years as a night grocery stocker and I can now happily kick up my feet knowing that I will be making $18.18 an hour. I can't believe this day has finally come. I started at $7.25 an hour. Now I hav...
There've been a few comments on here recently, re abusive managers with poor/no people skills. A word or two on that. As a former salaried retail manager, let me assure you: these people aren't just abberant personalities that accidentally slipped into their jobs; retail corporations seek these...
Have any of you caught any junior high students building toilet paper forts in your store? Have any of you attempted to stay overnight in a Kroger store? There's a relatively new fad of staying overnight for 24 hours, consuming food/dri...
The holidays are coming up and people are roaming around the parking lot asking customers for money. My store has already had one on two occasions. Anyone else have this happen yet?
My boss gave himself the day off of course being Sunday (he was never in the service) and had me, the only veteran in the department work. In case you were wondering, yes I work tomorrow. Respecting Veterans is just another lie Kroger tells.
Hi Everyone I got a Q - If back up & grocery manager positions are supposedly a given position ... Can they demote you w no cause meaning no verbal , no write ups ??
I'm noticing an increasing trend where I'm at. When I or someone else from a department other than the front end (obviously) is called upon to surge check, we're often told now "don't sign off" when we're done on the register. The problem with that is, the next time we're called upon to surge...
okay so i hav ebeen throwing up all night, so this morning (7 hours before my shift) I called in and told them. The guy I talked to was a tota *******, and told me I had to get a drs note. This is the first tome I have called in sick. what happens if i don't get a drs note ? cause I really wasn't planning on going to t...
This is so much BS, I don't know where to start. I don't know if this is in ALL Divisions, Or ALL stores, but now the departments have more paperwork that they are to go through each and every day, and walk around with the general manager (or co-manager?) and look everything over.For instance, in produc...
Like say you do a partial payment with a debit card, and the transaction has NOT been completed. Let's say you then void the transaction, does the money get immediately released to the card? Or does the customer have to wait like a couple business days for the money to be released by their bank?
If you're reading this and you're a manager, then you're already one step ahead of all the other managers, because after studying this web site a bit, you will already know what the rank-and-file members have gripes about... This, unfortunately, is for all those other retail managers who need to get...
