Walk out of a meeting or end a phone call if it is failing to serve a useful purpose. Avoid acronyms or nonsense words. "We don't want people to have to memorise a glossary just to function . . . " Sidestep the "chain of command" to get the job done. Managers insisting on hierarchies will "soon find thems...
Part of Restock Kroger is wage rate increase in some markets. Why not all markets? All associates in all states are expected to do the same kind of job in their departments, some of them will be paid more but not everybody in all states? I wonder why can't everybody get a raise, it's not really fair.
Apparently I got a SIR write up a few days ago and I just now learned about it when our union rep told me he just saw the sheet on the store managers desk flipped upside down. It is for failure to follow OE life cycle. It is true that I've forgotten to do residual scans so I'm okay with the reason but it's unfair...
In late June of 2017, my Front End Manager asked me to be his back up. I said yes, and he immediately contacted our Front End coordinator to get the process going.

Ive been working at Kroger for almost two years but about 6 months ago I got a new co-manager and she doesnt care about anything. I told her today that a customer told me a woman walked out with a purse full of shrimp and she said oh well shes gone now. I was expecting her to say how does she look but no that was n...
The traditional method of buying groceries is you put stuff in your cart, someone scans it, someone bags it, and you pay and leave. How does Scan, Bag, and Go save you any time? The groceries still have to be scanned and bagged, except now the customer is suppose to do it. The task of scanning and baggi...
Store is suspending employees because they do not like the reason the employees called in. Makes no difference if the employer has reached the suspendibe offense This is a breach of contract and if every employee who received a three day suspension realised this the ever late store manager would r...

Our break room is now called "The Lounge." They rearranged a few posters and the chairs and tables, and removed the cabinet doors and places lots of condiment packets in there. In addition to a brand new microwave that replaced an older nastier one. They literally put the words "The Lounge" in giant le...

I work overnights as a stocker, and recently transferred to a different store. The new store that I'm at has staggered schedules (some of us will come in as early as 9pm, then the rest of us will come in at 10pm, 1030pm, 11pm, or 1130pm), but my old store we all came in at the same time (10pm). It drives me c...
