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...
Everyone seems to talk about getting written up as if it's doomsday, but what's the big deal? Is there a set number you can get before you get suspended or something? Or is it just some way to get you to fear them?
ok. so....minimum wage is going up to 8.15 I started at minimum 7.40 then first raise to 8.00 my question would be...in Sept. when the new minimum starts will I now make minimum wage Again at 8.15 or will Kroger give me the .75 add to my now 8.00?

As most of you front end workers know, the Juvenile Diabetes Association "shoe" drive just ended. Our store manager is claiming that she is taking possession of one of the grand prizes for selling the most "shoes." Is she even eligible?
