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...
Ive been working my ass off as a bagger for a year, asking every manager weve had if i can be moved to another department, each one says something like "uh next time a position opens up ill see" which is obvious bull**** because they hire someone new the next day around the same age as me. What t...
This isn't the kind of question a person asks around the store, so I thought maybe I'd ask here since I thought I recalled reading a post pertaining to this at one point, and if nobody knows, that's fine... I'll probably still end up quitting anyway if I get the job offer I hope to get, but if a person gives t...
My home dryer is on the fritz. Needs a new heating coil. I had someone come over and examine it, which is how we (this person and myself) determined it was a heating coil issue. Well. If anyone working at Kroger knows Front End -- and you have my sympathy if you do -- you know that the parking lot duty is hot,...
A CSM told me today to take off my sweater. Her exact words were: "That needs to be taken off. You can't wear it inside." I've worn the same sweater all day, every day and nobody ever said a word, not even the store manager. She also told a cashier the same thing. I wore the sweater ALL day and it t...
we have been having lots of problems filling our one acsm position. I wanted to sign the bid but all they posted was an interest bid. Which the fuel lead at my store signed it and I'm thinking about maybe taking her spot. My question is if I get the fuel lead position can I ever move back inside as a cashier ag...
what should i do if there is no team work meaning there are 3 body in total and out of all of them only one is doing to half of the store meaning gm non food while the lead is staying in seasonal trying to make it look good but still the same way and there for the other one just slacking in one of the aisles or just...
Our co managers nickname is Hitler. I think this nickname was given to her when she worked at another store but follows her wherever she goes. Today she decided to come to my register and threaten to write me up. I had the key to the cigarette corral on the shelf beside me. She told me only the floor sup...
So I am a bagger that got promoted to bakery. Sounds cool right? Well...... my experience was just a ****ing train wreck from the start... So, it took 2 months for them to get everything ready for my promotion. I get this call from the bakery manager literally *the day before* I was supposed to go train a...
In my second week at Kroger, here. Walked into work today and just had a feeling that it was going to be a bad day. Ever get those? I didn't feel like being there that day, but of course I went; I don't believe in missing work/something important unless I'm very sick. Well, all that day actually went good...
My question is i have 2 year working at the store i was a courtesy clerk as starting i did 1 year and 4 months as a clerk got a 30 cents raised then got promoted to gm non food night crew doing 8 months and still working and got only 10 cent raised. so i was wondering do the hours from a clerk apply to gm like all to...
Sometimes I ask myself what sort of a b-a-s-t-a-r-d company I work for, and then I inadvertently get an answer. Our store has a contest going right now for cashiers. They basically encourage the customers to give feedback. The cashier whose name appears the most by a certain date gets Thanksgiving Da...
