I was 23 at the time. I pushed carts. they had me push carts for longer periods of time in the heat than they said i would be and the kids would play games about when to switch from carts to bagging. my fellow cart pushers were high school kids. it was depressing. one time i left a few carts behind a lady's car b...
I've been floating from department to department recently, pretty much bailing out different departments as they need me, and I'm noticing the same trend every time I get moved to a new department. I'll start off stocking, looking at the dates as I do, and wind up finding product that expired last yea...
Our store has issues with turnover and vacations whenever managers chase a kid off they just schedule the other part timers from any department in the store they can. Along with the fact our store has a lot of 20-30+ year vets so lots and lots of vacations. So now my question is even if the part timer asks t...
So working as an overnight stocker, I thought we were supposed to get 50 cents every hour worked. I work 40+ hours a week, but I only get like $5 dollars for the night premium. I also only seem to be getting compensated for 29 to 30 hours, despite me being a full time worker? The told me Saturday's pay would g...
I know this forum is meant for employees and not customer, but seriously, people need to stop leaving coupons for other customers. i am trying to condition my aisles and I am constantly finding coupons that people have left behind for other customers. Does it really give you a good samaritan boner by l...

I started out as a night stocker making 9.65 an hour plus .50 for working at night. then the store manager said how would you like working in meat? I said I had to think about it. Next thing I know, my schedule is during the day time and I'm in the meat department without even agreeing to it. I actually still m...
Hi all, new guy here what I'm about to describe I know isnt a common problem, but it's very real for me and embarassing and I wanted some feed back from yous. Im having a problem with my Kroger uniform because the size is right, medium, but, well, I'm kinda a irregular fit below the belt if you know what I mea...
I hate when I get put on an express lane. Those lanes just piss me off more than anything. It takes SO much longer to ring and bag at the same time. Plus, there isn't very much room to even bag. Also, there's those customers that don't know how to take their bags so I run out of bags because they're all full. Wh...
They moved me from courtesy clerk to a utility clerk sometime in December or January. I'm still doing everything that a courtesy clerk does, though. I only have like 10 more points until I get to my next job step in Express HR. My hire date was August 25. I wanna be moved to cashier so bad.
I know I may sound spoiled or like I don't want to work, but I have recently joined the overnight grocery team and have been made to do all the conditioning on back stock days. This is the first time I have ever had to do work like this, and I can usually cram in half the store, but the whole store??? We are real...
So I've tried to google all these problems I've had working at Kroger and everything has lead me to this forum. So here's a little of my background: I got hired in October 2015 as a part time cashier. Fast forward to March, I started working in the customer service office and so currently, I bounce around...
Kay, so a bit of a problem, I'm currently having to do my TV Video Production classes as my priority and I absolutely cannot miss these (not more then 3 pretty much otherwise campus attendance policy takes effect) as the Workshop class I am in, we are the on air student crew and we are it! No other backup ex...
Noticed most of you are from the point of sales end of things. I have recently noticed in my plant at least that management is driving the plant into the ground. I have only worked here for a couple years, but when I started we were running at 90% up time and now we are down to 70%ish on my line. We have 2 shi...
