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...
Okay so I as hired as an courtesy clerk and had no idea that meant bagger.. =/ Well yesterday it was literraly POURING ice/rain out and I (A female) was told go get carts. To say the least I was told to clock out and go home if that's something I don't want to do. It was my second day...which means I'm still in m...
so I dont know who to ask about the health insurance we supposedly have at kroger.. I just started in the fall, I should have coverage by now.. what does it include? does it exist? who do I ask about it?
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...
My store offers a wide variety of organic produce, and there are hundreds of organic items scattered throughout the store. As a result, we attract large numbers of health/fitness nuts, Whole Foods shoppers and health conscious stay-at-home-moms...in other words, 95% of our customer base is WHIT...
I am rarely late for work, but today I missed work by an hour. Last night I couldn't sleep due to my anxiety/headaches and it was around 3am and I didn't want to be sleepy for work, and knew I needed sleep. So, I took some sleeping medicine, and accidentally slept through both of my alarms. I was supposed to...
I hate our floor cleaner. He works a six hour shift. He comes in at 10 pm sweeps for about a half hour goes out ands sits in his car from 10:30 to about 12:15. He comes back finishes sweeping and runs the scrubber. Then about 2 am he leaves for about 45 minutes comes back and buffs. Sometimes I think he thinks...
how often does full time have to close? when the year started, we were told at least one 2-10 shift per week but reality has been some who do zero closings ever. who polices it?
Finally, I am out of the hell hole that is Kroger. I was a courtesy clerk and it was the most miserable job I've ever had. When I was 16, I worked at McDonald's and they treated me better. I am so happy to be out of that place and ready to start my new job. Kroger was, hands down, the worst job I ever had. If I worke...
Starting about a month back out of the blue, I was scheduled for no hours whatsoever. This was the first time I'd not gotten any hours, but in some previous weeks they only had me for one or two days. Talking with my supervisor, apparently the schedule was very different prior to a manager above him chang...
Recently i was just getting ready to start my shift and had another worker (grocery/dairy) there for about another hour. Guy doesnt do mark downs (another topic) all together so he points out products that need to be marked down. So i get a gun and start to do it to get them out of the way. The hour goes by an...
I came up 49$ short but its nooooo way!!! She said since I was in my 45days training I really wasn't fired I think she was trying to sugar coat it. Myu trainer was horrible it was only for two days and only 3-4 hours. Everything so in organized and I believe I wasn't trained well enough in those two short day...
I get into work today and my co-workers and boss say I was "recognized" in our department and entered into a raffle for a $20 gift card? I work in Meat/Seafood if that matters.
im 7 months pregnant right now an ive been working for kroger for 2 years and im part time and make 7.50 hr i wanted to know when i go for meternity leave how will the pay work because i still have bills
This has happened to me twice now. An employee from another department gets demoted and they send them back to the front end to work as a cashier. They have more seniority than me so they still get their 40 hours but my hours get cut back. I was working 32 to 36 hours but now I work around 25 each week. I un...
I know people on this forum have already talked about e-schedule and what a problem it can be. Last week i looked at the schedule since i was on shift Friday evening. It wasnt till it was near my day off i noticed "no one" was scheduled to work after one of the other dairy guys worked the morning...
