I was working in floral and this lady had a bouquet of flowers marked down to $7.49. I saw her reach up and take a two white roses from another bouquet and put them in hers. I walked over to her and said "Hi, how are you? We don't sell single roses" as I reached over and snatched them from her bouq...
When I left, we had ten shopping carts of go-backs. The worst I have ever seen it in Front End since I started nearly nine months ago. I left feeling more disappointed and disillusioned than usual. How the hell could my store let that happen? Ten damn carts. I mentioned them to my Front End Floor at one poi...
I work 3rd shift stock a Jay-C (Part of the Kroger family) I get about 23-28 hours a week on part time, and before our new boss, I was pulling about 45 hours on a 27 hour week some days pulling 15 hour shifts, but even now something is stricking me odd. I seem to be only getting payed for about 25 sometimes 15 ho...
Saw this job posted on the board today, I had no idea they actually had something like that. Any idea what the job entails and why it needs a department head? I mean...it's cheese?
After a long time we finally got one and she's driving me nuts. Instead of hanging back and seeing how we do things, she's decided everything needs to be exactly like at her old (tiny) Kroger that she came from. She's threw away stuff that we've used for 7+ years yesterday and prompted the other assistan...
That's how understaffed we are at the store I'm at. All departments are suffering a major labor shortage and such, every week, on average, five hundred hours go unused. One of my co-managers says that he's never seen it "this bad" and says it's not just one or two stores... it's all stores in...
So we used to do case discounts for customers (if they had a case of say, 24 cans of beans, they'd get 10% off those cans). Customers got used to this and quite a few still request it, but we've been (vaguely) told we're not supposed to do them except on special orders (i.e. huge orders where the total ends u...
Apparently some genius in our district decided that all cashiers saying the above to every single customer coming through their line would magically boost friendliness ratings. Needless to say, we're nonplussed at best. Also, good thing we aren't graded on speed or anything like that @_@
Okay, what are your "Tips & Tricks" for keeping things full, helping customers and getting all your tasks done (breaking down truck, processing certain fruits/vegetables, closing duties, etc.) in a timely matter (No overtime, unless authorized to have it!)? Especially, if you a...
So I got "suspend pend" for supposedly leaving a float out of Frozen Foods they claim was worth ~$200 (It was maybe 10-12 boxes). Does anyone have any information on the "zero tolerance" policy for firing someone over loss? Notes: -I don't remember leaving this float out, but i...
So last week the server was offline when I tried to clock in, the other girl clocking in said to just sign the time sheet, I did that when I clocked in and clocked out, today the same thing but one of the supervisors (not mine) told me that you can't do that that it actually clocked you in even if it's offline....
So after I got off lunch I was pulled into management office. Our 2nd ASM proceeded to bitch me out for vaping in MY car! Uhh, excuse YOU... But 1. I was on lunch. MY time. NOT yours. 2. I was in MY car. MY personal property. 3. As long as I'm not using cannabis oil, have weapons, drinking, or engaging in lewd a...
So here in the Atlanta market, about a month or so ago we courtesy clerks 'lost' our cooler of water by the main entrance. Yea. So we're back to paying for our own drinks (Gatorade, Kickstarter, bottled Kroger-brand water, etc.) to help keep hydrated and cool while bringing in those goddamned shoppin...
I work at a Kroger in Local 400 in the Mid-Atlantic area, specifically Southern WV. Well our contract expires on the 15th yet they didn't begin negotiations until the 30th of last month. Last contract they began negotiation in August and still had to get an extension in October. Anyone know if ther...
Did you know that now you can type in anyone's name and find out what store they work in? I'm not sure if that's cool or creepy. I mean, it's nice you can find out what store former employees went to, but it seems stalker-y too. lol
So one day while I was on lot duty I was informed that I was wrote up on an SI for not having a cart strap while I was on lot. The thing is I keep the strap in the lobby in case I have a large load. But instead I apparently have to carry the damn thing with me and use it if I have more than one cart per load. I am sick and t...
