I had heard from one ACSM at a store other than the one I work at that Que-Vision is "gone" and I asked the ACSM at the store I'm at and was told that it's true and that 1 + 1 and dips are no longer part of front end metrics. It's due to stores being so understaffed, apparently, that it's no longer pra...
I've been scheduled a 10 hour shift this week and I'm wondering what, if anything, I should do about it. I already had to reduce my availability and call my manager to get less hours so I can go to college, so I don't want to come off as whiny to my manager, but I feel as if I'm being exploited by being expected...
So, I am in a bit of an emergency situation and need to move from the town I work in ASAP. I want to put in my two weeks still, but I have a week of vacation time coming. If I put it in a week before my scheduled vacation, will I still get that pay or do I forfeit it? Would it be best for me to do my two weeks after? Doab...
Finally had the last two/three experiences that were the straws to break the camels back, so to speak. First, I heard from a reputable source (a head stock with about 20+ years with the company) that when the new Marketplace store opens up locally, everyone has to reapply for their jobs. The f*ck is th...
Last week we got mystery-shopped by an a$$hole who: 1. Said that the manager didn't acknowledge her, when the films show that they had about a minute long conversation. 2. Didn't even go through all of the departments, saying instead that he couldn't find anyone. 3. Couldn't speak English very well w...
I took my vacation week last week (Aug 30 through Sep 05) and while checking my hours on my pay stub I noticed I was only being paid for 21 hours. At one point last week (maybe Tues or Wed) I checked my schedule on greatpeople.me and it had said I was getting just over 5 hours per day, it was some weird number l...
Kroger let us have one free with an employee discount card at our store. Was this promotion everywhere? If so, what flavor did you try? I'm wondering what flavor I should get.
I really hope you can view this video. This happened a little over a year ago and I've recently seen the lady in the store again so I'm waiting for part 2. For context, the man and woman did not put a spacer bar between their orders. Just a small gap that the cashier didn't notice and started to scan the seco...
I observed this while waiting in line at the service center: A lady bought our entire supply of a particular brand of energy drinks that were on sale. Then after completing the transaction, she walks over to service center to get a rain check because we were "out of energy drinks". I'm not su...
And take it across two weeks, for payroll purposes, are vacation hours broken down into 7 days or 5 days? I know you get the whole week off but is it 5 days of "pay" plus 2 days "off" or is it 7 days of "pay"? if that makes any sense. Because my vacation week got split (which i...
I was recently scheduled on two days outside of my availability despite the fact that I have had this availability since March. I informed my Payroll/Backup CSM that I already had plans and was not coming in on the day that was outside my availibility. The following day I receive a call from my CSM askin...
Tonight I was actually off at 11:45, but naturally every ghetto moron comes shopping at this time. There is no manager on the floor, though I was told there is *supposed to be* a night manager. Naturally the other cashier got off at 11:30 when it was dead as can be, and every front desk person was off at thi...
I have a concern When I got hired I got hired as a marketplace cashier. A coworker of mine with three more months seniority is not classified as a marketplace cashier rather than a front end/clerk. Someone else who has a year more seniority is a front end/clerk. Others who got hired below me are classifi...
I love the ones where people complain about sale items not being in stock...I want to respond by saying "well lady, the reason it's out of stock is because it's on sale for $X and we've sold out of all we have and the warehouse has ran out because they've been drained by the stores! It's not our store...
Summer vacation is nearing its end and with that, a major percentage of the Kroger workforce is about to limit/restrict their hours/days as kids return to school/college. This is going to compound and already bad situation as despite having numerous "City Wide" hiring events over the s...
