Been with Kroger's for a year and I have been paying $2.50 for insurance a week. I haven't gone full time or added anyone but for 4 weeks it went up to $5 then it went back down to $2.50. I talked to the person who does payroll at our store and she said speak with the union rep which I did and she spits out some bul...
Hey I started at Ralphs yesterday and when I was on cart duty it was harder then I expected. What is the best strategy for collecting carts from the lot . Also when you have the 6 cart chain how do you steer it? Thanks
I have 2 questions. 1. So I just got hired about a week ago, and in my first week they gave me 20 hours. I have tons of hard classes and it's my junior year, plus I only have about $80 worth of expenses a month, so I want to move down to 10 hours a week. (two 5 hour shifts) This would give me more time for school and t...
I've been at Kroger since June of 2015, and I've been looking for something better to do with myself. I've decided I want to get into medical coding, and that I could either take a class and become certified or I could go through college (but, I'd rather do the class), but the class is expensive. My questi...
I just started working at turkey hill in PA and I know the Oshawa regulation is after 6 hours u are entitled to a brake of at least a half hour to eat or whatever, my store does not allow brakes at all. How can I make sure the law is being followed without getting fired?
I don't know how scheduling vacations works for any other locations but at my store, we must go through the head store manager to have her mark the date we want on the vacation calendars. In early October 2015, I did just that because I wanted Halloween week off. Unfortunately I could not get that week of...
I don't have my handbook anymore so I can't really look it up. Anyways, i'm a very good worker and everyone in my department loves me. Today, I did something stupid and left an hour early because everything I needed to get done was done. After I clocked out, one of the customer service people asked me why I...
Stores in my area are (again, what a surprise!) hiring and have set up little unmanned hiring tables with information on what Kroger has to offer as an employer and how to apply. You know what's listed at the top on the pamphlets and little cards (for the first time)? Competitive Pay. Um... competitiv...
Just how hard is the concept of finish what's in one box before opening another? I work in the bakery and I'm constantly finding multiple open boxes of the same product. I straightened out the cookie section in the freezer the other day. I found 2 open cases of sugar cookies, 3 open cases of chocolate...
Are there any particular policies for when too many grocery items get left behind on your watch? I was told on my first day there a few months ago that you could get in trouble if it happens too often. I've made the mistake a few times and I've seen others make it too but I've never heard or seen anyone get in t...
The insurance I get from my store sucks ass. With the amount of money I get paid and the so few hours I get, there is NO way I can afford the bare minimum insurance they give me... In order to use it, I'd have to pay out $2,500 each year not including other costs, before insurance will even kick in. That's dam...
ive just been told I will be trained for the office soon!! Im so excited! Mainly so I can get an over ride. I could use some pointers though. Like the lottery machine. Is it easy to do? What western union? And how long till I get my over ride?!
Anyone in Cincy/Dayton know what the rules are for status 3? Like what happens if someone gets it but with the department there aren't enough hours for everyone. Say for example your department gets 140 hours and you have 2 full time status 1s. They get a total of 80 hours which leaves you with 60 hours fo...
How long until it starts being a stability risk? Guess this is normal for the new year, but outside of full timers and myself (lucky me somehow), baggers and cashiers have less than 20 hours this week. Today, QueVision was at max 13, and we had 4 baggers for 13 lanes. Someone complained, or we'd only have...
Did anybody else get these in their bakery department? They're suppose to be a Latin American/ Mexican dessert that's served on the Feast of the Epiphany (January 6th). They're similar in concept to a Mardi Gras King cake in the fact that there's a plastic figurine hidden inside the cake. The ones...
Two weeks ago, two customers came into the store late and bought a bunch of stuff using coupons that said they have a limit of how many coupons you can use per transaction, and the cashier was told to go ahead and take them as long as they scan and they don't have to override them. Someone later asked the sto...

I get tired of hearing that line over and over. "Oh, you're off already? Lucky you. I wish I could go home at 2." And then every time, their attitude changes as soon as I tell them "You want my schedule? I come back in again at midnight tonight." People really need to just learn to app...
