I'm a front end employee. On occasion when I'm assigned to clean the bathrooms, I do run into customers that ask if we have more stock of a particular product in the back room. Is it worth rummaging through all of our stuff looking for whatever they want? I usually tell them that we're out or I refer them to...
Me and 8 other employees were assembling patio furniture in our store. The 3 managers overseeing it informed us if we needed a tool or two to take it off the shelf, which I never knew was possible. Our Drug and GM manager informed me to take a pair of pliers off the shelf to help with removing caps and such to...
Just curious about some of the keyboard functions. I asked my FES and he couldn't give me a real answer so I thought I'd ask here. What does the FS/NO FS button do? What's the difference between the TAX/NO TAX and the DISCOUNT/TAX EXEMPT BUTTONS? We recently got the new keyboard layout, am I ever gonna ne...
Shortly after I posted the schedule on Friday one of my necessary full time people came in with a doctor's note saying she needed to be off the following week. Yes, it's legit. So I had to redo the schedule. The problem is E-Schedule wouldn't let me change it because it said the schedule had already...
I have just noticed in the last few weeks Kroger is advertising on TV. Up until now I haven't seen Kroger advertise on TV since the 1980s, when I started working for them. I was wondering if anyone else has seen any TV commercials.
when someone who has terrorized you and made your work experience miserable for 4 years gets fired! It's been 3 weeks now and we have many new hires, and without her around to turn people against me I've actually made a lot of new friends. I'm so happy. I feel like a weight has been lifted off of me.
So the girl in the bakery/deli who was suspended after shoving a guy in the deli got her job back! How I don't know. At her grievance hearing the dept. head and back up were allowed to speak and a girl who know longer works there was allowed to speak on her behalf, but NONE of the four witnesses who saw her s...
I recently got hired at Kroger, I am wondering what to expect during training starting off as a courtesy clerk?? How soon after training can I work? Is there a limited number of hours I can get since I'm new? (I'm aiming for 35-40 hrs if possible)
The new bakery section opened in January. It's huge. Before we expanded, our budget was around $12,000 or more per week. It's probably more now. Anyway, we are slowly sinking because they didn't hire any help before the expansion. We're short about 100 hours. We have one full time decorator...
The details aren't important, but there was a misunderstanding, I was the lowest level employee (but non-union) in the department, and thrown under the bus. The incident was considered serious enough where the regional HR guy went down to the store after work. Over the phone he threatened me to eit...
Does anyone else have a problem of people from other departments stealing your supplies? There are always people stealing our squeeges. We'll have a good one for like a week and then it's gone. The one we have now doesn't clean our floors very well because it's not made of the same material as the deli fl...
We got a nut working on the stocker night crew!!! He talks to himself, barks and growls like a dog, and meows like a cat, and has sudden outbursts. When I talk to him, I don't understand what heck he is talking about, he makes no sense. The employees and venders are afraid of him. But I've heard that sai...
I started working for Kroger as a cashier, and on my fourth day i had car troubles and was un able to make it to work, I called 10 minutes after my shift started to notify them I couldn't make it and I was told over the phone by an employee that the manager instructed her to fire me because that. I am wondering i...
Putting my two weeks in. As much fun as it is was to work 12 hours at minimum wage, I have to move on to something better. What are some things I should do before I leave? I heard you can get your union fees reimbursed in case you ever work for a company under the same union.
I just set up my acct and password to check my schedule, been a week now. I got locked out twice and can only get back in to reset from work. what's going on?I'm soo frustrated. .
Hey, Newer guy up northeast. Paying my union dues, waiting for a call back from the local union rep-but here's the situation: -I'm a lower man on the totem pole -Just went in to check the schedule for next week-my name IS ON HTE SCHEDULE. However, next to every day, through the whole week, the days are bl...
Ever since my store opened (well before I started) the night crew always had 1 or 2 people at 8p, 1 person at 9p, and the rest at 10p. That's how it's always been. Ever since E-schedule, the schedule always says 12a but the night crew gets overrides to start at 8, 9, and 10. Starting next week, management i...
is Kroger considering buying out Safeway stores? I heard from a co worker that Kroger is considering purchasing the company or investing in it. Any truth to that?
