Interesting thing, watching these two behemoths squaring off against one another. Someone recently posted that "Wal-Mart doesn't consider Kroger serious competition.." Well, that's exactly right; they don't. And that arrogant thinking is exactly at the heart of what's wrong with...
I've been working at my department since the summer and I work 2 jobs. When I was hired/interviewed/first day I explained that there are certain days I was unable to work as I will be working 8+ hours at the other job. The department head and the boss of my other job got on the phone and worked out an availab...
How is Kroger cutting back at your store? I've worked for Kroger for 2 years now, here are some changes I've seen at our store: 1. Big K Soda machine in break room: Still only 25 cents BUT they now put the dented up cans in there. Thanks Kroger! I could barely get mine opened the other night it was so ba...
I just wanted to make sure, because I seemed to recall seeing a post here once before saying that departments with service counters aren't supposed to be called up to the front to check or sack. There's someone in my store who works in the Deli, and they call her up to the front to check a lot of times, and fr...
I found out some info as to why I got a cut in pay. One of the cashiers had surgery on their arm some time ago. I'm not sure what exactly happened to facilitate this. But, it seems that this person decided to sue the store. I don't think the surgery was from an incident at work. Has anyone else had this happen?...
Yesterday, i was off and unfortunutly had to stop by kroger (not the one i work at) to get a few things. I paid for my items and left with my things in hand. well, suddenly i heard "stop! Kroger security." I ignored the call because when its my off time i don't really give a care what goes on. sudd...
So, a few weeks ago I won a "Rewarding Great People" drawing. I came in third in my district which netted me $500. It will be 2 weeks on Monday since the drawing was held. When will I see the cash? Or check? Will it come to my home or the store? If I have direct deposit, will it just show up in m...
At my store call offs and no shows are becoming a real problem, especially on the front end. Well management at my store have been going through all the call offs for September and writing up anyone with more than two. Well in September I had to call in three times, twice for a personal illness (which I'...

I started in the Pharmacy and I don't think I'm a good fit for the position. Is there a way for me to move to another job, like cashier or bagger? Do I have to be in the union first?
I had a customer asking where our glue was. I took him straight to the school supply section thinking he might have needed some elmer's glue. Turns out he needed some kind of glue with a weird chemical name. I almost said "sir, that's not us, there's an ACO Hardware on the other side of the lot.&qu...
I do favors time and time again for management and work and STILL manage to get treated like crap. I've given up my days off te and time again to help out, worked beyond my shift, given up planned vacations, etc to help them out of binds. Now when I ask for help in my dept in return to cover a day off I requested...
I am in distirct G. Recently I reached my hire day. I thought that my week would reset on that day however I was told recently that I have to wait till the First of the year. What confuses me is that eschedle allows me t set up a vacation week and even set up personal days. Anyone know?
Does anyone have the story on how/why the District 10 Deli MR is now a co-manager? I noticed the other day she was in a store, and word is she's now a co- but had no details as to how/why. To go from being a deli MR for about 10 years to being a co- is not a career advancing move in my books, so it sounds like a demot...
I only been working for Kroger's for 4 months. From what I was told is that I couldn't receive health insurance until I have worked a full year....(but I don't plan on getting any health insurance anyways) but what is this letter saying. I have no idea if any of you guys have received the same letter. &quo...
I work in West Virginia. I just found out I am pregnant and within the what I think is 45 days of employment. But I think its about to end. Of course I am still considered part-time. I currently work in the Bakery. My job is very demanding and requires a lot of heavy lifting and standing. Most of the time I can...
Do the salary managers (non-union) make the schedules or is it made by union supervisors? My son works for Kroger's in Indiana and did not join the union but he consistently gets less hours than his friends who are in the union. He also works every weekend night, never getting an early shift. Thank...
Is anybody else having trouble with the eschedule coming up today? I check it every week with no problem. But today it started coming up with an error and now it simply says I'm not allowed to sign on.... Just wondering if anybody else is having trouble THANKS
