Hi. I'm interested in working in a grocery store and hope some of you can offer information about grocery store employment. Kroger will be opening a new store near my home soon and I plan on applying. In your opinion, which department is best/worst? Why? I hope to get into the management training p...
The store I work at has a Starbucks with a café. And we do get their occasional homeless person for awhile. Most of them aren't a problem. Until now. This one guy decided to make one of the tables his domain. It's at the back corner so no problem, right? Wrong! Although he sits far away from everyone else...
I've been hearing "Summer Nights" from Grease lately at work. It's not John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John. The guy's voice just sounds generic. The girl's voice has a high pitched girlly sound with maybe a diva quality to it. Anyone know who it is?
I was told by some employee at Kroger that they were hiring and they still give hazard pay and I should cash in on it then just do the bare minimum and get let go. Im all for free money so when do they give this out to the new hires? gonna let 2 of my other friends in on this so we can save enough for a studio
Picking for clicklist and this old woman while looking at me pinches her nose and says my god you smell like sh-it then she walks away. Another guy looked at me and shook his head and said son Im gonna tip you 20 bucks on the condition you buy some soap, shampoo and perhaps a small pack of man diapers. I slow...
I think a big reason why retail theft is so out of control is because the businesses's front line of defense---their workers and even the loss prevention staff---are burnt tf out, bitter and hateful of their employers, who don't pay em SH!T, keep demanding open availability for all shifts, and cutti...
For those of you who work in the bakery, have you been getting in a lot of LaBrea bread that you didn't order? Here's why. Every store is different. Some breads are going to sell better at some stores than at others. So every store isn't going to be ordering at the same rate. Well, apparently the supp...
For those of you on the front end who cannot (will not) understand the SIMPLE concept of LEAVING ME ALONE when I am working my Utility Clerk shift, here is a list of what I need to do: 1. Sweep the front end and cart area hose down if needed 2. Wipe front doors down and empty trash by said doors AND outside 3. E...
im a part timer and my last day off was Tuesday, next week my day off is Thursday, that's 8 days... i thought they could work you no more than 6 in a row.
I'm just glad I work a job that lets me call out for a few days here and there. I have zero faith left in this company and won't risk coming in due to snow or heavy storms. I will no longer risk going in when the roads are covered in snow. If my store allows multiple people to skip a week straight of work due to sno...
Time consuming and very expensive: $15.99. You can get nearly the same amount of dough with streusel and pecans in a colossal coffee cake for $5.99. You're paying $10.00 for plastic beads and a plastic baby figurine that's going to be thrown in the garbage. I'm hoping the price keeps many people fr...
Im status 3 at my store and always work 40 hours. This week though I was told by my department manager that our department hours were cut and Im only scheduled 12 hours this week. I talked to HR about it and they made it seem like a big deal and was saying I would lose my status if I dont work so many hours and sai...
Anyone else's store cracking down on Not Accepting returns from other locations? Lately we've had a scam increase of bad returns and this is how they're combating it. If over $20 they reject the return if receipt shows another location. I thought kroger's policy was to accept returns from other st...
We have been down to 4 people in our Fuel Center. Very difficult to get requested days off/vacations. Is this the same way at your store w/the short staffing? We have had people hired, but they only work two weeks then quit or don't show up to complete paperwork. Are all Fuel Centers this low-staffed?
