At a job fair I applied to be a cashier or to work in another dept (this one is one of the huge stores that sells electronics, furniture, etc). At my follow up interview I was instead hired to be a floor supervisor because I have a lot of experience kissing ass :) Directing traffic and answering questions,...
In the 20+ years I've been with Kroger the employees seem to lose more and more with each contract. This is what we've lost so far: Local 227 1. 6 day pay. It used to be you got time and a half on the 6th day if you worked 6 days in one week, regardless if it was over 40 hours or not. 2. End of year bonuses for ful...
I started with Kroger in August 2002 as a 21 year old kid who didn't have a care in the world. It was fine for years as my responsibilities were few and the pay gradually increased. Got married in 09' and things were going fine up until March 2012 when I had to take a medical leave of absence on account of bein...
"Ladies and gentlemen, may I have your attention please. In less than 5 minutes from now we will be handing out free advertising gifts to all the adult shoppers. Now this is to introduce new products that our store does not normally carry. But you must hurry for these frree advertising gifts ...
Meat backup from 516 continuously flirts w/me when he is well aware that I am n a relationship. He says he has this 'g/f'but he flirts w/every female there young&old. It's so ridiculous and I can not stnd him!!! When I tell him to leave me alone he just smirks and says something that I deserve to have &...
what can u do when ur super gets out of hand and then everything gets out of hands and it in up ur in the wrong all together and what can do with all telling on people no works together as a team they the exact opposite
so, I've read many posts on here about people not being able to take breaks, having management or others try to bully them out of taking breaks, yet I hadn't really experienced this at my job. Sure there are the times everyone wants to take a break at the same time so you kind of have to wait to take yours.....
I rely on rides to get to work. I am a part time employee but am called in to come early or on my days off nearly every single day off I get. Mostly because every week our schedule is full of holes and instead of fixing it my dept. head just waits and calls us in. Today I was scheduled for a short 6 - 10 shift. I told...
Just need to get stuff off my shoulder, please ignore if you don't like useless rants... So, I've been at Kroger for a little over a year now, started out as a lowly courtesy/utility clerk making $7.25, became a cashier about six months in (though about half my days were still cleaning/utility, but tha...
Why in God's name do they have to torment both customers and employees to death, with that 24 hour overhead radio/music nightmare, constantly blaring away?????? (Who goes to the store to have to listen to Dillon's Radio garbage??!!) I absolutely loathe being "forced to listen to" overh...
There has been a new thing at the store I work.. They are making front end people go into a 3 hour meeting, then If you do not Engage with customers enough for the manager, then you are fired. Can they fire you for not "engaging" enough for their standards? -- Edited by justme on Sunday 19th of J...
From what I've seen it's simply A/B = C (earned ring tender time divided by actual ring time) = efficiency and nothing more. But the CCG sheet shows sign on, inactive hours like it's indicated in the score somehow. Does anyone know if it's true? I've seen posters say signing off and securing after order...
Hi, and thank you for calling your local Kroger store, if you would like to speak to the bakery, forget it, they are busy decorating cakes for people who don't show up, if you would like to speak to the produce department to ask them if we have the bananas on sale, yes you idiot, we're a grocery store, if you...
Usually, produce is along one of the perimeter walls and most people shop that area first. This ridiculous remodel they're doing has it in the middle of the store. It seems rather illogical to put it there. They also have the deli and the frozen food and dairy sections on opposite sides of the store...
What an opportunity I got to get out of 933 and transfer to a store where profits are put above politics. Where the store manager, manages the store and doesn't treat their job like a child, gossiping and walking about the store chatting on her cell phone/shaking her fat behind in front of employee...
Well today we started enrolling people on our new time clock. It scans your fingerprint just like the old one, just has a bigger screen and more buttons. Also today posted in our receiving area and breakroom was a new dress code for vendors. Wasn't aware that there was a problem with this, but there w...
I decided to take all of my vacation weeks all at once at the end of the year. However, I had to work a week while someone else took theirs and then I resumed the rest the week after. Is this due to seniority? I ask because the other person is a spot above me.
Found some old posts on Fuel Clerks and wondering what the pay starts out at and if it has gone up since then? Shouldnt that job be higher paying than any other with all the requirements and duties you have throughout the shift?
