We've lost a couple people recently and some people have had to stay over to cover shifts, but our dept. managers have had to cut 60 hours off next weeks schedule. All I can say is WTF? Between the 2 departments we have a total of 11 people and of those a couple can only work certain hours. BTW were a huge s...
I work in one Kroger and I went to another to get deli meat last Friday. I usually get the deli meat from my store, but since we just got Boar's Head in, my husband said to go cheap. Anyways, on our way home we picked up some Private Selection deli meat at this other Kroger. I didn't use it until Sunday, wh...
Our little friend Mr. Que-Vision said that we had 10 registers open on-and-off for nearly an hour. It was like The Walking Dead, every time you turn around it's another zombie-walker. Only no zombie-walkers, just Kroger customers. Some (like myself) would ask "What's the difference?"...
If you were store manager what are a few things you'd do differently? Anyone you'd fire or demote? Any under-appreciated people you would promote? Any policies you'd change? Just curious.
From Facebook for our local Kroger where I work :I get daily emails from KROGER about specials, and today is MEGA Event Sale day there. 38 cents for Green Giant and Del Monte Veggies, with card. I was able to get 40 cans of creamed corn, whole corn, green beans and tomatoes, all for 38 cents a can. 40 cans w...
Working as a cashier now. Tired from just standing in one place all day and greeting customers with the same BS. I have one of the best Tender Times in the store, but my customer service is lacking. Typical Interation Me: Hello sir/ma'am, how are you doing? Customer: Hi. i'm fine, thank you. *rings up ev...
I was wondering if hobby lobby would be a good place to work at, it's retail to. Maybe I should get a part-time job there during the holidays and find out. It's Christian owned, but I might not like hearing some of the Christian music all day long. i'm sick of working overnights at Kroger stocking, i'm...
I work 2:30-11 tomorrow. I thought nothing of it until I suddenly realized that it was an 8.5 hour shift. I know that they're not allowed to schedule you more than 8 hours a day. So, when they do something like this, do they (the scheduler) even realize that they did it?
So, there have been rumors for years about a competitor (Price Cutter) buying out our 4 stores in Springfield. It was finally announced that they did, thus the last day of operations is on January 3rd 2015. Anyone else ever have gone through something like this? It was weird because our store manageme...
Has anyone in here had to file a harassment charge against a manager before? I did, due to several things, and ended up turning in my notice. This has been a few weeks ago....According to a few friends, my name is still on the store schedule as "Unavailable." I would assume that all of this...
Has anyone here ever used the survey system under a different kroger account than your own to bomb your store with horrible scores and to complain about a manager or co-worker? Just for the lols of course.
First of, I want to apologize for asking this question in here, since I know this is really intended for Kroger employees. But I thought you guys might have some insight... I used the fuel station at a nearby Kroger and lost my receipt. Unfortunately, I have to turn it in for reimbursement. Do any of you g...
I'm trying to enroll for next year's insurance and it will let me log into the site but when I click the enrollment link it goes directly to an error message that says "We are sorry, the Employee Identification Number you entered does not match our system security information. Please check the nu...
A couple weeks ago I got some information in the mail about signing up for insurance. I was told before that you had to average 25 hours a week to get insurance. If I sign up for the insurance, and I drop below 25 hours a week, would I lose the insurance or is it that once I get it I keep it no matter what? Because...
This is just something I want to get off my chest, no real solutions are required. I have been working at the service desk for almost a year now. A few months ago I realized I was starting to dread going to work because I knew I would be dealing with angry people that come in by the bus-load (my Kroger is loc...
2x and 4x fuel rewards for gift cards are nice, but around here, it's undermined by Kroger's gas being regularly at least 20 cents higher than than the nearby warehouse fuel centers, ie Costco and Sams. How does your Kroger fuel prices generally stack up with the nearby competition?
Hey our contract meeting is scheduled for the 3rd, but all I've heard is negotiations are going slowly. Anyone hear anything? Healthcare is the big hang up from what I've heard.
