Sometimes I feel like the goal some UNIT managers and Co managers have in mind is making as less sales as possible, or coming up with schemes designed to hurt a department in order to create an excuse to jump on the workers and try to make changes to said department as a way of pushing folks out of the door. ...
I have been trained to cut meat. Been to a store for 50 training hours and been to the class. Trained to order and am asked to regularly. Am often referred to as the "most dependable" in my department by both store management and my dept. head. And yet still make min. wage. Our meat processor is...
I really hate it when people quote previous posts. Its a pain scrolling thru abc wrote/ def wrote/GUI wrote. we know, we already read it. I think we can figure out who you are responding to.
I've been told by multiple people within Kroger that a status 3 employee is guaranteed 34 hours a week. yet I can't find proof of that anywhere. Is this true and if so is there any concrete proof to provide?
Folks, please believe me when I tell you: E Schedule is really not the end of the world some seem to believe it is. Wal-Mart rolled this same thing out several years ago, even before I got into management myself, and I too thought it was going to be a fiasco. But it's really not. Think of it this way. Your sto...
I knew it wouldn't go well, it usually doesn't. They had a new FES that pulled me out of my line to his. I told him no, I was just getting cigs but you know how they are. So off he goes to the cig corral after asking me twice what kind of cigs I wanted. Never smiled, asked how I was etc. Came back and asked me w...
Have you ever wondered how a forum like this gets started? I mean surely it didn't just appear on its own with 5000 unique users already sharing stories about the hell known as Kroger. Who was the originator of our beloved forum(our very own Kirk Unit)? How long was his seemingly endless wait for a respo...
Whatever happened to that frontendpetersucker guy?I kinda miss him. His first few post were really quite amusing. After awhile he did become a bit tedious. This forum could do with a little humor. Surely not everyone really truly thinks Kroger sucks.
I have an interview with Home Depot, supposedly for the gardening department, on Monday. If the person on the phone at their HR headquarters was correct, the pay would be about $9.50 an hour -- more than $2 what I make at Kroger now as courtesy clerk. But it would probably only be part-time, and I have a fe...
So I am working on filing through Turbo Tax...nearly $600 through State and Federal combination. My question is, does the figure that Kroger provides (and Turbo Tax miraculously picks up automatically after I provide my information...) include the $7 union fees per check since I joined?
Basically I applied to several different krogers on my job hunt. I went to the interview not knowing which position I would be interviewed for. I was interviewed,drug tested then offered a position in the deli..after going home I received a call from another Kroger for an overnight position which I w...
Hello all, I work in a fuel center in good old Ohio and I have to say it sucks. Our heat barely works and when it does click on it doesn't stay on for more than 5 mintues and no we do not have a thermostat its broke of course. Our floor is so wet that we literally have puddles of water that we stand it all day! oh and...
I was looking at the vacation list in the break room and we have it listed seniority and how many weeks they have available. On this list they have 1 beside the most senior employee and a total number of employees in the store. Last year we had right at 100. The year before close to 110. This year, 80. Th...
Today is my first day to officially start at Kroger. I've already done the two day orientation, and today is my first day out of the three days my manager has assigned me. I'm suppose to go in at two and I am so nervous! She told me the name of the girl who's suppose to train me into being a clerk. Does that mea...
Hello, I am new in deli dept at a Kroger in IN. Can't seem to find a list of standard 4-digit codes used with sliced-to-order deli meats and bakery products. IS there a list somewhere???? It seems like everything I find on the net is relating to PRODUCE, not deli!!?? Dave
So we got a new store manager two weeks ago after our other one retired after 45 years of service in January. A reasonable amount of time has passed for my coworkers and I to conclude that she isn't a pleasant person. She lives, eats, breathes, and dreams key retailing. She's very aloof and uncaring when...
Here in Southern WV were expecting anywhere from 14-20 inches of snow. Our deli closed at 4 yesterday because no one could make it in during the afternoon. And several people stated they probably won't be in today. I'm wondering what hassle if any are you are getting if you call in during really bad w...

So although I still don't have a four-wheeled transportation thanks to the monster in my driveway needing repair and Kroger not providing enough $$ to care for it, I am still looking hopeful for the future. Today I interviewed at Home Depot for Garden Department.....but when I mentioned getting car...
