well now that they've begun writing up department heads when one of their workers get injured, they've opened the door for all kinds of whackiness. One of our young lads was stocking on a bottom shelf near the end of the aisle not long ago when an old lady whipped into the aisle with a motorized cart and h...
I've yet to see this rule in writing personally, but some of the employees saw it on a desk upstairs one day. It was for the front end only apparently and said that if anyone had to use the loo, they'd have to take their break to do so. I don't think they can do this but with all these whacky new rules they're...
I guess the union is done paying for wal-mart smear stories until we get this fixed. Kroger's worst nightmare is to let the public know they pay their employees less. They will make this go away quick if they are smart.
Started working there last year...Have been working 40 hours since I started and apparently the deli and bakery are connected so I can't get full time status because the bakery has filled all the positions. They want you to work like dogs to get so many things done. For example a typical night consi...
A lot of people come to our store for the food the chef makes from scratch, like the ham salad, chicken salad, crab cakes, pasta salad etc. But now they're getting rid of all that. I don't get it, it was a draw for some customers who say they come out of their way to this kroger to get that stuff. The ham salad i...
Just started as a CC and I need some advice(I didn't do computer training). I already know the proper bagging procedure(hot with hot, cold with cold.etc) I just want to know things like speed, and how fast are you expected to be? especially when it comes to medium and large loads.What's the preferred n...
I hate it when they can't separate the plastic bags so they lick their fingers to separate them. My cashier yesterday did this, twice. Then touched all my food, my receipt, etc. I always used some hand sanitizer. To me, this is right up there with money in your bra, especially in the summer when it's...
i shouldve been trained in the office by now seeing how my main supervisor CSM came to me before Christmas saying he wanted me in there and he ain't done it yet. I'm getting tired of waiting for him to come to me. how should I approach him without pissing him off and getting my point across?
Like, everybody that works it: the stockers, the pharmacy guy, the cashiers up front in EBT hell and reshop avenue. Night shift stockers seem to have the most crap to shelve, the pharmacy guy gets all the people that for whatever reason can't get their meds at normal hours and the front end, well, it suc...
every week i have been changing endcaps and ordering. the backup is always scheduled off these days. the dept head stands around talking half the night and has me doing so much. its getting hard to handle the work load. would the union help me on this, or am i just screwed?
Daz right-------------15 years of self-selected incarceration in the belly of retail's most loathsome, fetid seventh-level of hell demon breeder slave-whore master, WALMART, has very recently been put to a sugary sweet end. I finally got my ticket the hell OUT of.....well, hell! But there's a p...
do you think customers should be able to curse and swear at us .do you think managers should ask customers to leave our store when they hear this happening. shouldn't we have the right to a non hostile workplace and shouldn't the managers protect employees and other customers from this kind of behavi...
Does anybody know what the phone number for the attendance line is? I need the REAL one. It might snow tomorrow so I might need to call in the morning.
So, I was sick the week of Jan 24 to 30th, missing half of my scheduled work days. I called in sick and got the required doctors note. Week of Jan 31 to Feb 6th, I worked my scheduled days but suffered from severe bouts of vertigo/dizziness (to the point where I was sent home but still showed up the next shi...
So our new store manager is forcing everyone to learn how to check. He already made the entire grocery and four of the overnight grocery team to check yesterday. Ive been working for Kroger for 4 years as a produce clerk because I'm not great with registers or the stress that goes with checking. my fears...
