I work in the meat/seafood dept. A few days ago, a customer managed to tear open a bag of flour or sugar, and had it spill from aisle 2, across the store, infront of the meat department, all the way to aisle 10 or something. I was in the cooler, cleaning the grinder, and my coworker was helping customers...
So question: how many days in a row can someone be scheduled to work between days off? This week, I'm working 5 days (which is okay, even if they're all short shifts), but I've heard of someone getting scheduled for 9 straight days...kinda hard to schedule anything with something like that.
If some one on probation accidentally does a no call no show will they be fired. It was an honest mistake got there days off mixed up. Took Monday when it should have been tuesday. Went back to work and was told they were suspended for 4 days. Is that immediate termination?
About two or three weeks ago, I got my vacation request form. It has 6 lines (#1 week beginning, #2 week beginning, etc) listed. I already filled out week #1 for vacation in July. Should I only take one vacation or should I put in a request for more?
So, I was recently hired by Kroger (though I'm honestly leery about it now) for cashier. The equipment we have is just so messed up that the scales don't register weighted items, the scanners don't read half of the barcodes, the things will friggin' ring double of an item without it even scanning an it...
So, as of right now, I am the backup Customer Service Coordinator at my Kroger, but I've been offered a spot in the deli by the head of the meat department. I was wondering how tough the deli is, and how hard the learning curve/adjustment would be from going from front end to meat department. Any advice? S...
He wanted some Skoal so I went to get it. When I got back to my register he asked if I was going to ID him. I said yes, I was just looking at your eyes, checking for crows feet lol! I harassed him a little over his picture. Glad his ID checked out, what would I have done?
Just a few hours ago, I was literally slammed by a dept head and my FE supervisor. This is what happened. Dept head comes up to te FE where I am checking and asks where so and so is. I tell her jokingly 'I mailed him to China.' She asks again an I give te same response. You CAN tell it was a joke because EVEN the co...
... it would seem corporate's "solution" is to staff stores with more co-managers and use them to "fill" in the gaps. I don't know how widespread this is becoming, but I know at my store, we're up to seven co-managers. At another store which I have friends that work at, that store...
Back in 2013, I asked that Kroger stop taking the automatic weekly United Way donations out of my check, due to the tax holiday not being renewed that had been in place for a number of years... making my paycheck much smaller. Now, I notice that they are taking it out again ($1 a week). I have neither bee...
Last year when the minimum wage went up 15 cents I got a 15 cents raise starting from January 2014. This year the minimum wage went up another 15 cents, but I did not get a raise. I'm at $8.30 now and I'm a certified pharmacy tech, shouldn't I be getting $8.45 starting from January 2015? Just wondering, 15 c...
About my pay rate, next job stop, etc... In regards to "Accrued Credit Quantity" and "Quantity Remaining," does this mean that since my last pay raise I have made $258.75, and have to make another $241.25 before my next pay rate increase?
I haven't seen our paper schedule yet. This week we had myself and a few other courtesy clerks with around 12 hours. But I have them again next week. I wonder if the FEM whom I have written about so much on here is sending a 'lesson' or if it's a repeat again. I will have to see the paper schedule to find out. On...
I'm working a 2-10 Tuesday night and then coming back 6-2 Wednesday morning and you don't see me complaining about it, but my schedule writer was scheduled 2-10 Saturday night. The schedule writer says that if I do not trade her and work the 2-10 Saturday then she will schedule me to open (6am) Sunday mo...
Ok I'm a college student & part-time courtesy clerk at Kroger. I started working there in August 2013. Around the beginning of 2014 there were Union representatives on the prowl at my job. I was tracked down by the reps & being persuaded to join the Union(all while on the clock & trying to w...
