My department is asking if I want meat cutter training. I work in the meat/seafood dept. but am not currently a cutter and I make min. wage. If I say yes, how long does training take? How much do cutters make? Do I get cutter pay during training?
My store's pharmacy isnt part of the union like the rest of the store. I asked one of the techs if that means they are totally separate and she didnt know. I work front end and am thinking of switching but dont know if that's possible, since it's different than going to a regular department as they are non-...
DO NOT POST ANYTHING ANYWHERE IN YOUR STORE. IT IS GROUNDS FOR DISMISSAL. So many people in my store were upset after the vote for this last contract that almost everyone said that they wanted out of the Union. At least one has been wanting to get out for over a year but everything anyone told her to do di...

So a few months ago, I posted a topic talking about how the mom of a certain "pet" of our manager might be working in my dept. soon and sure enough it's coming true. Idk when she's on the schedule yet but a lot of people are pissed off about it. A couple people already said they're son/daughter ha...
I had an interview at my local Kroger for a part time job. The manager told me that although I have the experience, they cannot hire me because I work for a competitor. I would have to quit the other job if I want to work at Kroger. I would be getting 20-25 hours per week. I get about the same at the other jo...
It doesn't matter if you have been there twenty years. It is like high school. What you say or do will be spread all over the store. Your managers will hear about it --- even the most petty things are not beneath your "fellow" employees notice. I complained rather loudly about the recent joke...

All the customers know me by now. I'm in plain clothes with a cart shopping on my day off and they want me to help them with this or that. When I check out I have to bag my own groceries, hear all the complaints, talk about work. It's like I'm never off work. Spill on the floor? Still there - I better go up...
I walked past a co-manager's desk and noticed my Enterprise ID scribbled on a Post-It next to his keyboard. This is the same guy who sneaked into my department a few weeks ago to take photographs of "filthy" equipment to rat me out to corporate instead of talking to me directly about it. Yest...
Post your scariest stories of the back room. A hundred soft rock songs blare out the speakers at once. Meat clerks are tying a bale. When all of the sudden Lucifer announces, "All milk and eggs are 50% off!" A U-boat of milk is seen driving itself from receiving to a dairy cooler, where an inf...
Anyone here work in the meat department ? I am trying to get a job there at my local Kroger in Michigan. I wanted to know what the hours were and what a typical day was like. I think the service counter opens at 9am and closes at 9pm but someone could tell me otherwise. I do have cutting experience but sin...
I was on register and tried to check my ring tender but hit the wrong key and this came out I thought it was cool and wanted to try again but can't remember how I did it. No one on the office even knew it existed. I think it was no sale something sign on. The thing is to block numbers that may be identifying to me....
I just recently switched from Nutrition to Produce Department, and in my first week of work, my hours were cut from 40 to 16. Could this be because of training? Or am I able to pick up some shifts in Nutrition while doing Produce? Any advice would be appreciated. -- Edited by bagboy89 on Monday 21st of Apr...
