I am growing very concerned.. hopefully I can sort this out. The first year I got 24 hrs of vacation, I actually just had 16 remaining and I used them for California a few weeks ago. After my 2nd anniversary working for fred meyer, I saw that I have now 72 hrs of vacation total. Is that normal to give 72 hrs o...
So, I've been scheduled as a courtesy clerk since school started on September 2nd. Most of our clerks are in high school so we're short Monday-Friday during the day. I've been on the schedule as a clerk for the last three weeks. This week will be week 4. However, they do put me on a register when we're back...
So I worked til 11 pm yesterday in the produce department. Trucks usually don't arrive til 3 or 4 in the morning and 3rd shift grocery unloads them for us. Well, at 10:30, they came over the speaker and said "Produce: Delivery at the back dock." Walked back with the other person working with m...
I was interviewed at Fred meyer on Monday. Interview went well and i took the drug test and said they'll do a background check. How long it would take for my background check to be back at Fred meyer, my personal records are clean and i dont smoke or do drugs. Tomorrow will be Monday,almost a week after my i...
I will be a 3rd Shift Grocery Stocker with $ 7.95 plus a $ 1.00 more for working 3rd shift. After I am trained as a Grocery Stocker the Customer Service Manager said Kroger will train me on the new registers so I can cashier also.I was told I will be getting experience pay on top of the $ 8.95 that will be my b...
So a customer had a few rain checks and when I was finished the rain checks I put them aside to check out the rest of her items. She asked for the rain checks back but I told her I'm suppose to keep them to put in my till (or under, whatever). She says then she wants to void off all the rain check items so she can ju...
I have been with Kroger for three weeks. I applied and was hired with the understanding that I have a primary full time job and this would be a secondary part time job. Administrative Manager said they totally understood and that they should be able to work with my schedule. First week, I received 10 hou...
I'm just applied for a produce position and am wondering what kind of questions might be asked and what some key points fro produce might be its for Fred Meyer if that makes a difference but I'm pretty sure the key retailing and other such programs are universal between the stores
So now, in our division, the markdowns have to be put in the little corner "manager specials" section. Annoying. For one they are losing money and 2 on those crazy days where you are lucky to have just gotten it done...then have to tromp it over to the other end of the store....argh.
Let me get this out of the way first: I love Kroger. I think the prices are pretty damn good, the products (with the exception of Simple Truth, and some of the service deli in my specific store) are good, and almost all of my coworkers are awesome, fantastic people I'm glad to have met. But some of the ones w...
So I have been with Front End as a courtesy clerk (effing HATE the term "bagger") for seven months. Yesterday (Saturday) I went in 30 minutes late because I was thinking I had to be there at 3:45 rather than the 3:15 I was scheduled. I got there and went to the customer service desk. Our Front En...

We got new name tags. They have our names in big bold letters. Our old ones had, "Serving you since..." on them. These new ones don't because they dont want the new people to be intimidated when they see how long how other people have worked there. I say bull$hit. I've worked there over 2...
If they put a '5', then we get 100% If they put a '4', then we get 0% or so it seems. And every company is like that, no matter the rating scale. Even if they 'never give out perfect scores', 4's still mess everything up. Shouldn't the customers know?
So I used the time sheet today to clock in, but I mistakenly used the electronic machine when I was trying to clock out instead of the time sheet. What should I do?
So today one of the co-managers told our deli assistant manager that too many people have Tuesday off. And that one of us scheduled off will have to work that evening. Well I needed off because my dad has to have eye surgery and sure as hell can't drive, and another girl in the department has to take her k...
