It's been a pretty common belief for awhile now that Kroger is trying to limit full time status to as few positions as possible, like dept. head, assist. dept. head, and leads, and typically, overnight grocery is pretty good at hitting full time status, but when management isn't actively blocking da...
the city I live and work in is considering raising the minimum wage to anyone who's encountered this: is it probable that my pay rate won't be affected since I already make above the prospective minimum?
Am getting tired of microwavable noodles, wondering if y'all have any other quick but healthier (though, pretty much anything is healthier than sodium-in-a-box) choices. I don't have a car, so can't go to fast-food places, eat, and be back before the 30 minutes hits.
Well I'm frying chicken today and 8 pieces are on sale for $4.99, down from our normal $6.99. While I'm filtering a fryer a man comes up to our self-service case and stares at it. The ladies working with me as well as myself assume he's looking at sandwiches or salads or some cold chicken. After a couple...
So today marks me one year anniversary at Kroger. And of course the best way to celebrate is after getting off a nine hour shift having a regular customer stop you and after a five minute conversation ask if I like older men and would consider some help paying for school in exchange for taking up a "...
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...
