Who came up withe this idiotic idea? I work in the bakery department, but I'm sure it's the same in all the other departments. We are continuously filling cases and tables from 6 AM until the last person leaves at 9 PM, and yet they want everyone to stop what they're doing every two hours starting at 8 AM...
Ive been applying for and interviewing for the management training program. Seems like I will be getting an offer soon and wanted the "ins and outs" of Kroger and all of your opinions. Recently graduated from college with 5 years experience in retail but not Kroger. Seems like a solid trai...
Do any of your stores have a Chinese kitchen or is this just a Fry's thing? The spicy orange chicken was the only thing keeping me alive. I spoke with a kitchen clerk and they said it was discontinued, I didn't get a reason though. Now, during my lunches I sit in the backroom contemplating whether to jump i...
In regards to Kroger subsidaries, such as Fred Myers, etc. Do they share the same HR and HR computer system? That is, if you crossed one, have you crossed them all? Or are they separate entities with their own HR and employment record system?
I prefer 2-3am but sometimes i just take my boyfriend Gary to it and bend him over at peak times. We like to do it when the "freshness check" goes off.

Second order begins, i bag n finish em...

Seriously, what's up with all the smokers at Kroger? Full disclosure, I have never smoked, but I am married to a smoker so I am not an anti-smoker a-hole. But holy Jebus, it seems like every one I work with at Kroger is a smoker. Is there something about this line of work that attracts smokers? It gets a li...
Mine botched it. The lowest ranking associates had to take the lead . . . hours after they were denied even the rudimentary paperwork. If it isn't a "greed metric"the stuff (like 1% overtime) that affects management bonusesour managers don't know or care about it. Three levels of management weren...
When will I be able to use the kroger card I recieved during orintentation for the 10% discount? I tried using it yesterday (obviously in Kroger products) and it has not worked yet.
My store recently put signs on the doors, saying Shoes and Shirts Required. I know the weather is getting warmer, but seriously, who goes into public places barefoot? The shirtless thing is a whole other ball of icky, since most guys who go around shirtless are not exactly ripped.
Has anyone else heard about the company getting rid of the HR position, and "restructuring" the comanagers, so that there will be, instead of a grocery comanager, a perishable co, and a drug/gm co, there will be an operations comanager, another one i forget the title of, and an HR comanager? From what...
I have a feeling I might get called in on a personal day as someone who worked with us just unexpectedly quit. I'm going to def say no if they do call me but i'm wondering if they're even allowed to try and call me in on a personal day.
In Short: Customer Order Totaled (for example) $118.37 so customer gave me $120.00 and in the rush to excel I accidentally put in $12.00 (Enter) instead of $120.00 (Enter). How can I quickly and efficiently fix this? I'm not an idiot, but there's a lot of pressure at checkout and I'm not a wiz ye...
so I have to do a church service every Sunday, so I naturally put "unavailable" in my schedule, but after a few weeks I was schedule for Sunday, so on Saturday I called in to let them know that I wasn't showing up on Sunday, so how much trouble am I in?
