I hate it when someone comes in to shop, and they smell like they took a bath in some obnoxious, stinky cologne. To be fair, I realize that many people may have problems with their sense of smell (especially older people, but some young ones as well), so they may not realize how strong it is. I've had some...
The Dairy Dept in our store is always struggling so co-managers are always stuck helping out there. The store manager recently approached me to take over the dept and was wondering if any Dairy leads on here can paint a picture for what it's like to run the dairy dept on a day to day basis. Be specific plea...
Im a new hire for overnight and the store just straight up won't tell me when I work. I have to call in every day to ask and the website that normally would tell me my schedule hasn't worked for me since the day i got hired, is this normal? Should I be more concerned about this?
So I'm checking them out, there's no bagger, and so they insist on bagging their own, even after I say that it's alright, that I can bag for them. So they start bagging their stuff, and then a bagger arrives, and they just give up and let the bagger bag their stuff. This is something I found interesting in m...
Honestly, I haven't been in the workforce for long. I've noticed, there's a couple of managers I've tried to get help from, including the HR person of the store, and they're always unapproachable. Straight-faced, monotone voice, avoiding eye contact. I get that they've got things to do. But I just...
I'm new to Kroger, and the person who was in charge of creating my schedule for this week into the system... sorta didn't. So I had to ask one of the managers to let me work, cause officially, I was off for the entire week. Problem is, everytime I come into work, the time clock won't let me sign in, cause i'm n...
Literally, trash. I cannot wait to see what the circus drags in when we finish our hiring blitz this month. We are getting all our summer hiring done and I cannot believe what the trailer park is dragging into the Krog out here. All I can do is shake my head when these goofballs come in with their sweatshi...
I don't know if your division has started the new standards program, but.... The booklet for my department is 20 pages. Everyday you have to meet these standards and look "80% of grand opening" conditions. After 30 years with Kroger, this is the first time this will come out of my mouth. YOU don't pa...
I read here sometimes but dont write. The past three days were rough. Management decided to suddenly enforce the attendance policy. Mind you in the short time I have been there they never did so I knew nothing of it. Everybody just hung loose and called in like it was nothing. So now they got upset and d...
So, I was just wondering....who really does enjoy their store and their job and the people they work with? I LOVE my store. I loved shopping there and when I decided I needed a job to help ends meet - it was the first place I tried. Took a couple of months, but finally got hired. I love everyone there. A...
I currently work over night grocery crew into the Atlanta division, I'm full time and would like to keep it that way if possible. I'm looking at moving near Pensacola Florida, I know the kroger company owns Tom thumb down there. Are they unionized? What are the chances of staying full time transferri...
If so, is it possible to somehow "transfer" over to that kind of job within the company? Figured since I'm already an employee of Kroger... I'm a bagger at Kroger. I just got A+ and Network+ certified, and I've been looking for entry level IT jobs.
I'm just curious about what the experience is like and how complicated it is to learn how to do ALL that is required for the position? There's just SO MUCH info that you have to take in and while I'm hoping to get adequate training, I just want to prepare myself for what's expected of me.
I'm curious how honest would you guys say your co-workers are, that you work with? Bit of background: I was working Thursday, and it was a pretty typically busy day, and a even more typically skeletal crew of myself, the cake decorator and one of my back up managers. Which was all good, nothing unusual...
I just finished my last shift at Kroger. No more stupid customers. No more "friendly and fresh" bullsh*t. No more standing on my feet for several hours. No more pain and suffering. I accepted a full-time position at a much better company, and they will be paying me much, much more than Kroger would eve...
