TODAY I had a fun experience. It went like this: 1. I see cashier has no bagger. 2. I go to assist cashier as a bagger. 3. Customer wants to use the 3 for $10 deal on Coca-Cola products. Trouble is, she wants a Dr. Pepper. 4. Cashier asks me to go bring a Dr. Pepper (these are the 12-packs). I do. 5. Pause. Cashi...
I began receiving full time benefits 6/1 after 12 consecutive weeks at 30+ hrs. I got a letter today stating I have been reduced to part time coverage 8/1. My hours haven't changed. I went to a dentist to get a treatment plan for restorative treatment. Is that why my insurance was changed?
A common theme or should I say complaint around my store is that management doesn't care anymore. Were making money and as busy as ever and yet we're understaffed, morale is low and older employees are retiring or giving up long held Dept. Head positions because of this. Well besides the rampant und...
I work my a$$ off cutting fruit, I finally get scheduled for more than fruit and I kicked a$$! I got scheduled for more again and again I kicked a$$, my manager was so thrilled he was bragging to everyone how good I was and how fast I got things done, I was so fast I had to ask him for more work. I thought "w...
Shirts my size been backordered for months, i wouldnt mind even buying my own but im sure they would bitch about it. 42-43 hours a week, one shirt with the polo neck falling apart. Thanks Kroger.
I think this unusually; however, I haven't worked an hourly paid position in some time. I applied and accepted a part time position with Kroger as a Cashier. During the interview, the administrative manager told me that due to my experience I would not start at min wage, which is $7.25 where we live. Co...
One of those red electric carts has been ' dead ' for about a month now. Since our carts have numbers, we 'courtesy clerks' who have to deal with the damn things know exactly which one. And since its battery is seemingly dead, we also always know where it is located. Trouble being, it's located in the sec...
At our store, a bagger with a not so stellar work history (a few write ups), and the fact that he's only been employed for 90 days just got promoted to cashier over a black guy who has been there 15 months. I have a HUGE problem with this....the white guy that got promoted constantly sucks up to the floor ma...
Today, I was speaking with my shop steward. He informed me that in our new contract (Cincinnati/Dayton division), status 4 employees will be limited to 27 hours and under from now on due to the healthcare law. I'm completely shocked! He went on to tell me that NO ONE will be making their status 1&3 u...
How far is this sussposed to reach? Why don't they fix it to reach the breakroom? It does but such a bad connection it drops. Our breakroom is downstaris. The Router is or was above starbucks. Thats a bad idea anyway I bet it's covered with dust.
Well our new co-manager who can't admit he's wrong has struck again. The other day while the Ecolab guy came to the deli do do an inspection. The only thing he busted us on was the baked chicken in the steam table wasn't up to temp. So we had to throw it out. So Mr. Know it all co-manager said we didn't put...
So, I got stuck as a bagger or as the real term is "courtesy clerk" again today. It was only me and another courtesy clerk. Well, we both got stuck doing carts since there was nobody else. Getting stuck on carts doesn't sound bad, but IT WAS POURING RAIN! Literally pouring. I was getting soake...
Why is it that if we're off the clock, shopping, we get treated like second class customers? I basically got ripped off today. We have this Buy 5 Save $5 mega event going on. Pudding cake slices are included in the sale. They've been tagged as such, they've been scanned and have the little symbol by it. So...
you ever have a co worker that you just want to kick in the face? i do. she's only been around for a few weeks and she's been trying to boss people around. She's a bagger. Trying to boss cashiers and other baggers around. 1.) She told the manager she can't do lot cause it makes her not able to breath. 2) She wil...
Yesterday, we were very short on baggers due to school now being in session and there were only 2 baggers, 3 when I was told to bag. Anyway, we were busy so I was asked to open up on a register to help clear the crowd a little. I had this one customer who started to bag her own groceries because I was still ringi...
Last week we had 3 people in the deli/bakery quit and one was in the hospital for a few days. We've only had 3 people in the deli a day and the bakery has been closing at 3:30 several times because of the lack of help and the one person being sick. When the schedule for this week came out everyone in the deli a...
I was thinking of trying to get the phone bill discount. How do you go on and do that? I know it says to use a kroger email but how do you get one of those? Also can I use it on my moms family plan? or has to be my own individual plan?
do you have any stories? 1) I was with a customer at check out and this middle aged woman comes rushing over to my lane interrupting my current customer, "Do you sell sodas here?". I blinked and said "Yes..." then she runs off. Uh it's a damn grocery store... 2) "Do you sell co...
