Can anyone help me out understanding my union contract regarding qualifying for full time? It reads: "an employee shall be classified as a full-time employee at the end of the first sixteen (16) calendar weeks in a row during which the employee's average hours worked equal or exceed thirty-six (3...
Do they ever help your dept with the monotonous tasks or are they off doing their own thing? Do the head/backup work side by side every day or do they understand that sometimes you have to do what needs to be done to make the store look good? Does it take both to do the schedule? At our store it does. 2 peo...
Donald J Trump has a 100% of winning. I know this because I've done extensive calculations and predictions by using certain algorithm that incorporate the use of the 4th law of astrology.
Does anyone know what the company loss prevention rules are for short-change? Here's the scenario: About a week ago I had a customer buy some things that came up to 10.71. I told her the amount. She dug in her pocket and pulled out a wad of cash which was a 10 and a 1 rolled up inside the 10. So I said that is 10...
for hiring people? "flexible schedules, competitive benefits, etc" that didn't last long. Right about the time those commercials went off, things went to ****.
I work in a big Kroger store, I think one, if not the biggest in the Mesquite, TX, and possibly Dallas area. Our seafood case is probably a good 15 feet long, never actually measured. The meat service case is just as big. And there are only two people working seafood. Been this way for at least a couple year...
I have a dental appointment tomorrow and I put the request in about a month ago. I'll be damned if they STILL put me on the schedule to work at the time my appointment is. what I'm thinking about doing is not showing up for work and going to my dental appointment. (They do NOT need to know what kind of work the...
Does your store get those obnoxious demo people in your store about every 3 months or so. Selling overpriced pillows, cleaning supplies, etc. Their constant announcements every 15 minutes are ridiculous-to say nothing of the customers complaining. And most of the stuff gets returned anyway-an...
Please no harassing posts responses.....I am seeking some answers. Do you have any "special needs" people who work in your store? Are they an assent or a hinderance? What are the pros and cons of working with these people? Many thanks.
It's been a little over 4 months since I was let go from Kroger. well recently I went back into my old store and I noticed they are doing Taste of Italy again. Why? It failed last time and they are doing the same crap again. Sounds like the clinical definition of insanity to me.
They recently moved me to another store as a promotion, and now my home store is severely understaffed (what a surprise) and they called me in to help today. I did go in to help but how sad is this company that they are willing to pay me sixth day pay, overtime (i'm not sure if i'm going to get manager rate for...
How do I even begin to learn how to quit Kroger? On top of being so bu out from working 6 days straight continuously (split weeks), I only make $260 a week after taxes and I am full time at $9/hr. This is oblivipisly poverty and my store manager won't even allow me to transfer at a store closer to home until my...
since grocery is a skeleton crew anymore, the DSD clerk is having to do his/her job and help with several other tasks. Aside from checking in vendors and unloading trucks, they have to run bread on bread clerk's off days, clean up the hallway, tons of markdowns from resets, assisted short dates for gr...
I work at a store that does $300k a week. The actual size of the store and volume of customers seems about average. There are 10 checklanes including sco, a fuel center. The store serves a mostly working class population so that while there is a pretty good volume of customers, the dollar amount per orde...
