I used to get paid times in a half for holidays WHICH IS NORMAL! And this past Labor Day I only got paid $1 extra.... I called the union and apparently I'm on a new contract that agreed with the settlement... I don't ever recall accepting the offer or it being brought up to me. I paid so much for the union to on...
Hi all, So I recently got my schedule, and I just shook my head. Almost every week, my availability is entirely ignored to the point where I'm just thinking of leaving 30 minutes/an hour early. They continuously schedule me during classes, and this process has gone on for at least 4-5 weeks. I've talk...
For instance a women who was head of safety for the ralphs division she cracked he head open falling off a shopping cart taking a picture (talk about safety first LOL) does she get fired nope after all the time off she comes back as a store manager and constantly harasses people then after that they just k...
I noticed in our local Kroger ad they have "Candy Crush Cookies" on sale in the bakery department. They're just the regular candy cookies we've always had. Can't Kroger ever come up with an original idea rather than try to take advantage of someone else's?
So there's a new (from what I've heard, national, though at least district-wide) policy here, the front office people just got briefed on it today, it'll be streaming down to cashiers, baggers, and other store employees soon enough if not already. It's called "I Can Make It Right", an ext...
I started my first day of training for the night shift. The first thing that I did was stood with everyone after clocking in like being directed to after orientation. Least of my surprise the co manager that day was having a bad day. It was basically my first day on the job where I got bitched at for being t...

Okay, so I finished dept. head training and will be placed soon. Do I have any say as to where I get placed, will they offer the placement and I chose to accept or decline thus not promoted if I decline, or do I not even have that option and they just tell me where I'm going and if I don't like it the only option i...
you know what i hate that my manages won't tell be what the Que score is even though i'm the floor sup. only they have access to it. but if i ask about the score they won't tell me it. they don't tell me if i'm five points below Que or 20 below it. or if i'm above it. so i have to find out next week when they decide to...
So my girlfriend thinks she may have hurt her back, and needs to go to the er, and I work today, i tried to call in to get the shift covered, and the store assistant manager refused, saying that there is no one that can cover that shift, and i will have to find someone else to take her. There is no one else, she...
Our fuel center is one of the few that has a bathroom.. Thank God since we are never given breaks or lunches... I am not exeggerating, in the last year not once have I or any of my co workers been given a break or a lunch. The other issue is we store food display carts in the bathroom at closing.. Our fuel cent...
I had my first evening shift recently, I worked morning shifts for my first 2 weeks of employment, I was the only one working in the grocery dept that night. A truck comes in, I have zero experience unloading the truck at this point, and have used the powerjack for all of 5 minutes (and that is probably an e...
Everyone in my store thinks something is going on between them. He's always talking to her and helping her out in her department and it's so obvious that if there isn't anything creepy going on between them, he's at least picking favorites. She doesn't get most of her work done but she seems to think she...
HAHAHAHAHAHA......I think y'all will like this! So a little while ago I was shopping at a Kroger off my beaten path; in short order I noticed that every. single. ONE. of the employees I came within 10 feet of were all ¨hi, how are you today? Anything I can help you find?¨ Nice, but wicked annoying. And it h...
I've worked at Kroger for about 2 years now in the produce department and i'm really getting tired of some of the people I work with.. almost all of the night crew is terrible to work with (I mainly work nights and am getting tired of being asked why it looks bad the next morning). My side always looks good a...

I have same situation coming up on the following Wednesday and Thurs. Preapproved, and I want to sc...
