Hey everyone, I recently started working for Kroger in June. I was hired as a cashier, and trained as a courtesy clerk/cashier. I did both for about two months then out of the blue my schedule said that I was training in the fuel center the following week. So I trained in the fuel center for two and a half d...
I just started working meat and seafood. I am scheduled to work 32 hours. I am always called in on my day off. This would essentially mean that I am working full time. (I'm 18 and in school, no time for full time.) My question is this. Am I required to come in to work on my day off if my boss calls me in? I underst...
Hi everyone, I'm hoping someone can help me out. I found out yesterday that I need surgery on my right wrist to remove a painful ganglion cyst. My orthopedic surgeon told me I most likely formed it during my 2 years as a bagger because they are typically a result of repetitive movement. I was a bagger from...
I have been the acting dept head since May. Today management said I just don't care enough so they demoted me. Found out the girl taking over has received money from the manager and the manager bought the girl gift cards as personal gifts etc. I didn't think managers could do that. Plus the new guy h...
I was just curious due to my recent issues what exactly other functions of dept. head of drug gm could be? I do the schedules. I make and review orders. Do the conditioning whether it is morning or night. Depending when I work I do the replenishment, run backstock etc. I do the extra tasks assigned to...
I'm normally out of town on my day off and have to sometimes call in for my schedule. One day when I did this I got a lecture and a "don't do that again" speech. I let it slide, but when I was hanging up I heard, "Oh, this person is calling about their schedule again." Well, that snide co...
I was just hired at Kroger's to work in the bistro (originally they said they were going to put me in the Starbuck's but then they changed their mind so I'm already pissed). What benefits do you get from the union working part time? Right now all it seems to do is pull my wage down to taking home less than min...
Hi, I have been working at Kroger for a little over a month now and I have some questions. First, since I am only 15 and school starts up next Monday, will they fix my schedule to where i can still work and go to school? I have already submitted a request and had it approved by management, but I've already hea...
I was in the Cincinnati area to do some local site-seeing and such and was shocked to see the local Kroger stores in such poor conditions!!! The buildings look old and run down and the state of the stores were horrible!!! Comparing what I saw there to the conditions back at my home Division, it amazes me t...
I have worked at Kroger for 3 and 1/2 months now as a courtesy clerk. One of the front end supervisers and I were chatting and I don't know how we got to talking about what we were talking about. Next thing I know, he tells me that like 5 or 6 cashiers are in the process of quiting or have already quit. I casuall...
I was trying it check my schedule online, via greatpeople.em site, but when I login the icon for checking schedules is gone from the upper right of the page. what gives? did the union phuck this up (i now they didn't like it at my store, lots of moaning about it - less ways to screw over people of lower senio...

On August 5th I started my training at the Kroger Training Center & completed training. I "worked" 19.50 hours & when I viewed my paystub online it said I earned $118. This week starting August 12th I started working at my store location. As everyone knows new employees like me hav...
Ive been working at Kroger for just a few days now, not including the 8 and a half hours of WBL, and 3 hours of orientation. Where do I go to get my check? Will they mail it to me? How do I know when to get it? Please help, anyone.
How bad of a job do you have to do before getting demoted? I ask because my manager is constantly telling me how I'm not fast enough or work well enough in my department. How do you define "going fast" and "doing a good job" anyhow?
I was hired by Kroger back in late May/early June. I completed the CBTs and the classes, but never went through cashier training because of extenuating circumstances and a broken ankle and I won't be recovered until mid October. Also I was never given any contact information and my store was not curre...
