Have any stores started this new order evolution thing yet? Anyone have any details? Apparently, they are doing away with CAO from what I've heard. It sucks being a department head and having to hear about stuff like this from the grapevine. All I know is that we have to take a few computer lessons expla...
We just lost a long term store here in my town. The reason? Theft. It started off slow and subtle; by the end, people were bold ass walking right out the front door with stolen full shopping carts. In all the time this was going on, n o b o d y actively tried to stop it. So.You like keeping your place of work? Ge...
What exactly is procedure if I as a UC am on carts, and find an animal / child in distress in a vehicle. My belief is the following -report it to Service Desk to make an announcement for the customer to come up immediately -report to a member of management / LP immediately for their action and follow instru...
If your warehouse runs out the first day of the ad, and send max quantities or none at all. Literally EVERY SINGLE TIME the small Tide bottles go on sale, our warehouse runs out on the truck after the ad begins. Literally like clockwork. Same thing with the Mayo and Ketchup for that 1 day .99 sale a while ag...
Our shrink in the bakery has always been less than 5%. I've worked there for almost 30 years. I look at a report and suddenly our shrink is over 74%. We're not marking down or scanning out any more than we have in the past. Also, it has our sales listed as a negative number. So that means, according to t...
I am a cashier/ APC, but I work service desk, fuel, and management (desk op), but recently I've been feeling like there's no point in trying hard. We've had changes to management, and that's a trainwreck. Many other people (Especially the older ones or those who have been here for ~15+ years) don't go a...
I'm a part time employee (Cashier/ APC) and it was my understanding that that guaranteed me at least 20 hours/ week. This is upheld by the fact that sometimes we have CC's who want to work no more than 16 hours a week (8 hour shifts on weekends) for school purposes, and they are required to fill out a form fo...
My store is allowing courtesy clerks to do more than courtesy clerk duties. Theyre encouraging them to check small orders out through self check. Allowed to stock haba and candy. Occasionally allowed to help replenishment clerks stock merchandise. One is disabled and doesnt under stand union...
I worked at kroger for 6 months. Then I got a brain and realized they were either overworking me for way too little pay or I literally had nothing to do but stand there and be bored out of my mind. If any of you people are smart you'll quit while you can. Kroger stinks. If you condition, your managers will ne...
Top 4 causes: 1) Management is the key to employee satisfaction in any work environment. 2) When management doesn't enforce rules fairly with all employees. 3) When management enforces rules, they themselves refuse to follow. 4) If management ignores all their employees concerns. When emp...

The other day I had a lady at the Uscan who was buying like $100 worth of Tide and Olay products. She had like 20 or so paper coupons for them. Now from previous experience with these types of coupons, I knew immediately she was a coupon scammer. I knew I had to make sure she had ONE coupon for every product, b...
It can be anything, favoritism, worthless employees, lousy manager(s)/department heads, etc. Is it the same everywhere or is there at least 1 store that actually respects their employees?
How do you tell an autistic individual about the three foot bubble rule for personal space? I keep having an autistic employee flirt with me and I'm starting to get offended. I've beat politely around the bush but each time he comes and talks to me his face is literally one foot from mine. If I tell him d...
I was working yesterday in one of the isles and a guy came up to me with a tablet, I vaguely remembered him from orientation. He told me I didn't sign up for the union and that I was supposed to. I remember during orientation we had a packet of things to sign but they were briefly looked at, but we had to give th...
