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?
What do you do if you have a slightly less than optimal grocery experience? Go bitch about it like it is the end of the world. Here are some of my favorites: "Why are some Krogers still doubling - while the ones in Ohio have stopped? I thought all Krogers were going to stop doubling. It doesn't se...

Our store (Columbus Division) has had four VERY late trucks in a row, and several more in the past couple of weeks. Is this happening to all the stores in the division? How are you all dealing with it?
The other day I saw a black walking down the street while carrying a flat-screen TV. I thought, 'Oh, shoot, that looks a lot like mine.' Then I realized it can't be mine -- mine's home shining my shoes.
Just had a question regarding union dues.. this might be something I should call my rep. for but I figured asking here is worth a shot. I'm requesting the next 2 weeks off but not using any PH or vacation time. Since I'm working hours do I still need to pay the union dues for the next 2 weeks? I'm only workin...
So how many people have had customers say that they will call corporate and have had anything happen? I had to stay an extra 10-15 mins at self checkout because this lady was taking forever with her groceries, already knowing we had closed the store. When she was finished she told me "Oh don't be...
I say "supposedly" because I can't independently confirm whether this is true or not. However, a discussion I had with our store's union steward revealed that not once, but twice, the union has asked for representatives from the Kroger Company to come to the table to discuss pay rate incr...
Hey everyone I am 16 and applied to work at Kroger. If I get hired, what can I expect? How can I be a good worker and get promoted/raises? I want to work hard so they see I am a good worker.
I know that at the store I'm waiting to start at, the employees are given a 10% discount on Kroger brand items. Does anyone know if this discount can be used at Kroger Family stores too? I'm working in one town that only has Kroger, but live in another county where we have JayC Plus & Rulers, both Kro...
Hello all. About a month and a half ago, I applied to Kroger. I'd seen tons of Now Hiring! signs in every window of the dozens of Krogers in my area and I figured if they were promoting that heavily, they were hungry for workers. I'm hungry for work. Hard work, too. I chose 'Overnight Stocker' on my applica...
I've heard that several stores are being threatened with write ups for department heads for out of stocks. Is this allowed? What about stores with unions?
Well since que-vision has been installed in our store I've spent more time up front than any time in recent memory. Told my store manager this and he seemed shocked that someone had the balls to say they don't like it. Anyway I was closing in the deli tonight and while I went to lunch our manager called t...

Hi, I'm a bagger at a Super Kroger and we're finally making the switch from furniture to apparel. I have a few questions 1. How bad will go-backs get? At my store the CC's do go-backs and not the departments like I've heard happens at other stores. 2. Do the customers like the apparel more than furniture...
I just started as cashier today and I want some tips on how to be better. I've worked in stock for two months so up front is much different. Any tips on important keys or button combinations on the keyboard? how to scan faster? (practice makes perfect but are there tricks to scanning?)
