I worked at kroger for 6 months. Then I got a brain and realized they were either overworking me for way too little pay or I literally had nothing to do but stand there and be bored out of my mind. If any of you people are smart you'll quit while you can. Kroger stinks. If you condition, your managers will ne...
I'm off all this week because of a schedule error at my store. When they re-did the schedules, the senior employees got first pick of the hours. Long story short, there weren't enough hours to go around so I got no hours this week. I also have a sinus infection so I guess it's good luck that it hit when I didn...
I'm a new hire, been on the job for only a few days. It's my first job in retail. My grocery manager will be on vacation this week. We only have two day stock clerks and three night crews. I've got the afternoon/evening shift. It's also when trucks come in. Problem is, I have no idea how to break those down....
The new http://www.greatpeople.me website is a crock of crap. I used it one time from my home computer. What is the point of having an employee website if you can't access it from home. When I get to work there is no time to get on the computer. Sad how they invest money in crap that doesn't help or isn't con...
Ok, I am currently on an unpaid "vacation" of sorts. The reason? I bought a 6 pak beer after work and shoved it into my backpack in the break room. I was off the clock and shoved it in there before going to the toilet. Yeah I could have taken it out then and there but I had to go bad. Anyway I came out o...
Hello! I have a question and could not find any information on it so I would ask here. I have been to two interviews at Kroger and waiting on background/Drug test results. I was called today for an interview at Publix. They are interested and I think they may call back for second interview. Not sure what...
Alright so in my previous post i was asking about changing my permanent availability, so i did what you guys suggested and went to my schedule writer since it wont let me change it from my house. So when giving my new availability my schedule writer told me that she won't change it because she doesn't lik...
I just got done working the past few days while feeling under the weather. Just the other day i worked my entire shift where i was coughing up my lung, vomitting, and sneezing. All while working about 10 feet away from my boss, without him once, not once asking if i was ok. After my shift was over and was wor...
This may be a dumb question but I have been holding onto my college disbursement check for a about 2 months now and I am trying to cash it now but don't want open an account just to cash it. So I was wondering would Kroger cash it? It's for 1,100 dollars. I also heard whatever bank is listed on the check I can ca...
I WAS supposed to be off at 10 am (6-10) and last minute they asked me to work a full shift. I need the cash but reall? I told them nicely NUMEROUS times to let me know IN ADVANCE only for it to be ignored. How do I tell management firmly that I need to know IN ADVANCE being as njce doesn't work.
Anyone notice that the words "schedule" and "Eschedule" have popped up on the threads a lot more in the past few months, and most of the threads have been fairly negative about the whole thing. And it never used to be this way! Don't you just long for the days when the biggest compl...
So apparently there was an issue back when they hired some people in my store, and now they need to see a lot of our driver's license and social security card. The problem? I can't find mine. I've called my mom and dad (they were the ones who were holding onto it) and they lost it. Now I don't know what to do. I...
Can I request one while on probation? My family has an annual cookie thing for Christmas and this year it's on the 22nd. Wondering if I could request the day off even though I've only been there about a month.
At my store our schedule is usually posted by 1 p.m. on Friday. Contract says noon, but our office people are lazy idiots. Anyway, while on break the other day the schedule still hadn't been posted by 2:30, an hour before I went home. The secretary told me the mangers were upstairs hacking away at hou...
Well ive been in college for about 2 years now. Every job ive been to ive never had to show my school schedule to "prove" for lack of better words that im going to college. But yesterday the new schedule writer asked me for a copy of my school schedule. I told him i didnt have it on me and that i just...
When I first started at Kroger in the meat department, my usual shift was 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. Now I'm always scheduled for evenings. Like 4p - 10p. This isn't a HUGE deal because I do have open availability, I was just wondering what would make them change it? Will it change back or will I always be working even...
It's late and I have to work tomorrow, so I'm curious as to what everyone's department is? I hope I got them all down (I put an Other in case I had a brainfart) but I just want to see what kind of diversity we have on the forums. I'm floral.
The store is way to damn big. It takes more than 30 minutes to go from on side of the damn store to the other. The f-ing managers do not care what they have to throw away along as there is food out. The waste that this place has is unbelieveable they are just throwing money away at an astonishing rate. First th...
