I am a part timer trying to get full time at my store. but was told due to something called ELM, our hours keep getting cut. What exactly is this and why does the union not help current employees achieve full time status? Their response is to "bump" a person hired in after you if you want hours e...
The person who developed E-Schedule and the person who bought it should both be fired. They assume everyone can do every job in the department. The original E-schedule for the bakery had a guy who isn't even in the bakery scheduled to bake bread. It would be interesting to see someone who has nev...
Fresh and friendly tshirts coming...execs are idiots if they think a customer cares what is all over a cheap tshirt. Meanwhile tons of other things that customers complain about not getting fixed..
Relieving 3 Sub department heads back to back two for vacation and one for leave of absence due to her son's death. All of which are no where near my site or my home. they are denying me their pay and mileage. AFTER I'm already here and was told I'd get it. Can they do this? And now they claim if I go back to m...
We're having a hard time reaching 90% compliance on E-Schedule in the deli and bakery. It wants to schedule everyone late in the day, but I need several people early in the morning. I need someone to open the deli case. I need two people to come in and do bread. I need a cake decorator. I need someon...
Ok so I've heard about the whole 28 hour limit for part timers before but until now I don't think my store had been following it. This week, since our dept. head has finally gone to training, I'm getting 33 hours. Today our co-manager says to us that she's working on the schedule for next week (since our de...
There was a job opening for a dept head, but it was never posted and very few people in the store knew about it. We thought the previous department head was on vacation. The job was filled by someone from a different store who just so happens to be married to that departments'coordinater. Not only doe...
I recently got hired on as a courtesy clerk and when I was about to do my carts, my manager said to go down the street and look for carts by the apartments as we had almost none. Can they do this? Make us leave the property to hunt down carts? He said go just to the end of the street and pull any loose carts back. E...
I'm employed at a Mid-Atlantic store working in the bakery as a cake decorator/floor filler. There is another store fairly close (3 miles away) to us closing at the end of March. A lot of full time people are worried that employees from that store will come over here and take our hours when it officially...
I've called the Kroger that I worked for and they told me that I couldn't use w2express.com because I am no longer an employee there. They also said that I would have it by Jan 31 and here it is Feb 3 and I still don't have one. I'm really frustrated with these people and want to know if anyone else is experien...
I've been winging my way through Natural Foods recently. Haven't been formally trained but I'm getting it. Was wondering if someone could give me the rundown on how to delete distributions. It would be much appreciated.
Hey everyone, its been awhile since I've been on the forums but I just wanted to gain some insight on what its like working in the Nutrition Dept. at Kroger. After graduating college, I've been having a lot of trouble finding that 'first' job, after going through countless interviews and temp agencie...

I work in the deli and I got the most frustrating customer today. I asked her if I could help her and she said "I want the private selection." We have turkey, ham, cheese, chicken, and roast beef in private selection. Obviously saying "I want private selection" isn't narrowing...
