Since I am still new to this business and this store I am still feeling things out. There are still things that I have to learn. So when I walked by before clocking in and was asked by a co-worker to assist you (with you as cashier) in your lane, seeing that it would only take a moment, but NOT knowing that it i...
So, I'm sure y'all know how we're supposed to ID people for tobacco, alcohol, etc? How many people here actually do it? Also, how often do those "police stings" occur where they try to catch cashiers selling the stuff without seeing any ID's? I've never heard of anyone here at my store get...
well my hours are pretty crazy, its interfering with my life and well im very new, ive only worked 2 weeks now. if i change my availability to free up my weekend and make more weekdays available am i taking a risk? Will they let me go since it hasnt been that long.
At your store if you are out of ground round for your service case do you make two trays of sirloin, two trays of chuck or grind sirloin and call it round? Have you ever ground a stick of round and called it chuck?

So Kroger only gives me about 20 hours a week, max, and that's if I am lucky -- I'm bottoming out usually at around 15-16 hours. Yea, it's part-time, I knew that when I took the job, but $500 a month doesn't do much these days. We also have an Ingles in our area and they are hiring for evening stockers. Would i...
I cover a labor relations news beat for the Bloomberg BNA publications Daily Labor Report and Labor Relations Week and am seeking a copy of the proposed agreement between Kroger and UFCW Local 1996 that union members rejected March 20-21, 2014. I want to compare the proposed contract with previous...
Chill out with the micro managing all the sudden. You will never have your own store, you will die a co manager. It is annoying and just makes people laugh at you. It actually makes me work slower just to hear you asking me to do the most obvious things over and over.
I started working in the Nutrition dept about a month ago, and I'm starting to realize it's more like a management job. Whenever i come in at 2pm, my manager stays for about an hour until all the backstock is done, and when she leaves for the day, I'm by myself basically 'managing' the whole department. U...
I work as a couetesy clerk and I was doing a carry out for a regular customer. Well to show gratitude, this customer slipped me a $20.00 As a Christmas gift. I'm $20 richer now, but what is the policy? Do we HAVE to decline the gift or risk being "bitched at?" i dont make make that much money and I'...
Well, officially I have been with Kroger for about two weeks (since I received my first paycheck in paper form on Friday) but Saturday and Sunday was my 'Baptism by Brand' at the store. I am a Courtesy Clerk so I have been bagging, bringing in carts from the lot, helping people with their groceries to tak...
It seems from some of the managers i have seen come through my store some of them seem a bit clueless of what to do. One was only here for a month and in a few days she is gone to another store.
What am I doing wrong? How do I become full time 40 hours a week? Been a Kroger assoc. for 3 months now. Almost less hours a week (24.50) than when I started. How do they expect someone to live on half of a full weeks pay which is tough to live on anyways?
I was wondering how many of the people on this forum work their shift by themselves majority of the time. For me "most" of the time it has just been me working in diary which i have gotten use to. It allows me to at least get product out on the shelves in my department that is of course dealing with...
So I'm a bagger at store 98. Overall everyone there's nice and only thing i truly hate is the bad pay rate, but so far I'm pretty comfy here, and even got cashier exp. too. Yesterday I was on sweeps and was called to clean a gigantic spill over by seafood(Didn't finish since last time I was on overtime got me...
