Our new store manager has made it a point, if he catches anyone with drinks on the sales floor(including water) he will fire them, now I'm not stupid, I know he can't fire people for this, but its bull**** my wife is a cashier, sh is 8 months pregnant, and has been to the hospital three time for dehydration...
I'm not saying that the baggers weren't at fault. I know several of my coworkers that call out "sick" or hide somewhere in the store. However, if you're a veteran cashier, baggers are told to help the newer cashiers because the customers are cranky because the new cashiers are slower. Als...
So, I go into work on Monday at my store, based on the wall schedule. I try to clock in, tells me I'm not scheduled. So, I get an override. Curious, when I get home I look at the eschedule and see the whole week is blanl. Even more curious now, when I go into today, I ask the manager about it. He very nonchalantl...
I got hired a week ago yesterday I went in to finish up my paperwork and I received my Badge # & Employee ID #. Also, received a paper for my training but they told me they will let me know which day to go for training although they did give me the location of the training. Also, when are they suppose to giv...
I am a cashier and I get complaints that the bathrooms are a messy so I let my supervisor know and nothing gets done when told to management they say they have more important things to do. Should I tell the baggers to clean it so it gets done or what??
So, we have a thread stickied with all the usual ring tender tips, but I was wondering if anyone had any more unorthodox, unknown, or high skill tips to increase ring/tender. I'll start off with a few of mine. When a customer mentions at the start of an order that they need to grab an item, never start. I...
I'm a newly assigned CO just a few weeks out of training, up until this point everything has been really good. Time at corp and my training store were great. Training SM was fantastic and totally engaged with customers, as was the whole organization. Now where I'm at it's the complete opposite. SM sp...
I found a Kroger bag with an empty plastic coffee and sugar container in it hidden on one of the shelves. I figured the person dumped the product in a zip lock bag and walked out with it. I decided to open them and look. They had lint in them like someone put pocket change in them. They could have put the...
So, it's Sunday. Football shoppers, thanksgiving shoppers. At capacity all day long, doing a 9hr shift on register, rarely have a bagger. About 5 of them are MIA, and lobby is somehow empty of carts. Then I have to wait until less than 2 hours left in my shift for my second break because all the baby cashi...
Have a question what does a employee do if your store doesn't have a shop steward.We have that issue at my store we don't have a shop steward and the union has not appointed on since the other 2 stewards got fired months ago.The AA I was told was the shop which means that she would side with management any da...
It seems like almost every day I'm being asked to stay extra. I could use the extra money, but I wish they would just schedule me that way to begin with so I can actually make plans and know when I'm going to be home. It makes no sense why they're scheduling me for 4 hours and then ask me to stay 8 as soon as I get...

Hello, could anyone tell me of any online resource to better train for the deli? I just started & have had two different people show me two different ways to do things. I want to do a good job & don't want to get busted for not doing things according to company policy. The chicken fryer & rotis...
We have signs posted at store 928 in Bloomington that they will be seeking a 2 week in advance schedule in Jan of next year. Does this mean that bi weekly pay is inevitable? That's the current rumor mill atm.
Well next week in the deli at my store we have very few hours to work with. Other than the one full timer we got, I'm the only one with over 34 hours. This week we have 100 less hours than the same week last year though sales are up 25%. All this after our asst. dept. manager transferred to another store fre...
Is there even such a thing, or is it just a myth I'm hearing? Can you actually negotiate yourself a better pay with getting a promotion to a different department, or is it all just done on a flat scale of when you start and how many hours you work in that position?
