This needs to be said somewhere, might as well be here. I work at a moderately sized store. We go through around 800-1500+ (only more on special occasion) cases per night. We only get two trucks a week. That's all fine and dandy. It's fortunate to have a good manager, but to have good management? Now that...
Yesterday I purchased 5 expensive ribeye that I planned tossing on the grill that night. Well immediately after that an emergency came up so I had to leave the steaks in the car for a minute. I left them in the car in 70-80 degree weather for about 50 minutes to an hour.I was just wondering do you guys thi...
Some background: I've been out in the fuel center for a few months. Not a long few months, but enough to no longer feel like I'm floundering everyday. The rest of the crew consists of a student, two older folks that are working this as their second job or just to supplement some income, me (the only full a...
I know many Krogers start out certain positions at minimum wage. The stores/districts where you are forced to pay union dues does that basically mean you are getting paid less than minimum wage after those dues are factored in?
I love how they under schedule a department and then try and bitch at you for failing a customer connect shop. On a sunday our meat and seafood department had 2 people total; for a $20,000 day. We had more everyday of the week but the busiest day we had 2 people all day until 2pm. How do they expect you t...
When I was hired I had Purple / Brown hair and a new forearm tattoo. While at work I received a couple of comments from other stockers about how I was lucky to be able to keep my hair color and not hide my tat...My question is if i got Bright PINK can Krogers say something about it?
I am currently deparment head of Nutrition/Natural foods. I make $7.75 an hour. only 35 cents more than your average employee. I am still labeled part time getting 25-39 hours a week. Through further research I have found department heads make between 13 and 17 dollars an hour. Shouldn't I be making t...
do they have to tell department heads that there transferring them to a different store? if so when would they tell them. do they get a choice or is it transfer or step down?
Am I the only front end mother ****a who goes into his store and tries to do a good job even with lazy ass supervisors whose day consists of walking around in circles and never being around when we need them? Why in the **** wont they listen to me when I tell them we need 2 people outside doing carts on sundays...
So like half the items in the bakery department are being discontinued. Everything from blueberry pies to cookies and cream cakes to kaiser rolls. What the hell are we going to have left except boring italian bread and baguettes that most people don't even want? Is this an excuse to turn us into Walmar...
I typically park near the soda machines up front, so the cameras are on it, but every time I come outside people are around it, touching it and want to talk my ****ing head off about how dangerous they are. Anyone have any good secrets parking spots? Or do you brave the parking lot?
so i am looking for new jobs and i think i may have something in the works. i have only been at kroger a few months .. i don't really know how to go about notifying them of leaving my job, if i were to do so. do i talk to my dept head or manager? or both? and is a two weeks notice sufficient? i don't want to leave them...
I was brought in today for my orientation and when it came to do the online stuff I couldn't do it because I wasn't even showing up in the system as a new hire. I received my welcome letter from Kroger and prompted to goto the onboarding portal and all i had to do there was create a password, but as I said I wasn...
I've recieved my email two days ago and only one lady can dothe paperwork. She stay busy. How long does it take to get in the system and start literally working? Im ready.
Meanwhile employees getting screwed harder and the public says "oh you have a union jobs, great wages, good benefits." Half of walmart is full of happy ex kroger employees. Even if their benefits suck, doesn't matter anyway if you can't afford to use them. Had a customer one time tell me &q...
A courtesy clerk that has worked with me for over a year was finally caught slacking off and hiding in the bathroom. I heard she was taken to the store manager's office for a meeting. Does this mean she's fired? She does nothing at work but flirt and maybe bags for about 20 minutes before going off and hid...
Is the meat dept suppose to grind up meat when customers request them to or not ? We have chuck roasts on sale and I recommended to a customer to ask to have it ground up, meat guy refused with several strange excuses.......
It doesn't happen often, but occasionally someone gives me a tip for helping them out to their car. I've heard that we're not supposed to take tips from customers. Usually when I try to refuse a tip though the customers will throw it into the cart and walk away. What should I do?
