So i recently turned 18 and my store manager was itching to promote me to grocery since the january. I thought getting this promotion would be awesome but it turns out i was wrong. I dont like not being able to talk to the customers. I liked being a bagger because its just what o was good at. I have been debat...
So, today I got an email from my regional that all meat and seafood managers will be required to attend a series of 3 meetings on Key Retailing wave 5. Which apparently includes some massive update to cao. Fred Meyer is always kinda behind the rest of Kroger in implementing things, so have any of you, fel...
i am a night crew manager. We have a new grocery manager who doesn't do much but let management make decisions and do his work for him. He has no idea what nights is about and like every other night crew expects us to rebuild the store every night. First off i have only 3 full time stockers including myse...
Former Psychiatrist and award winning novelist M. Scott Peck's first line in his book The Road Less Traveled read: "Life is difficult." Especially so now, with the job market in the shape it's in. There are many of us who have been in our jobs for a very long time, and the very thought of havin...
Hi, I was/am a bagger. I was 5th on the seniority list and then I left for college, so I had to quit. They never mentioned a leave, so I didn't bother. But, my manager said they would welcome me back if I didn't get an internship with my career. Fast forward 8 months, and I was rehired back at Kroger. Didn't ha...
Just got a crash course to be a backup cashier at my store. Training was only about 4 hours (not including the WBL) and was rushed so I dont feel comfortable running the register besides a cash or maybe a produce wic transaction. What should I do?
I started at Kroger 3 1/2 years ago as A deli Head clerk did that for 1 1/2 years then spent 2 years as a meat asst. manager. After getting demoted for some bullshat! write-ups I'm now back in the deli as a clerk making $11.28/ hr They are only using the hrs. I worked in the deli for My pay grade and the 4200 hrs f...
One of our scales has a blinking red light on the third light, which is normally a solid green. Ive tried a cold restart, but the blinking persists. Occasionally the scale goes offline, but simply rezeroing the scale brings it back(which is normal for the others scales to do occasionally). Everyone,...

I recently completed the new hire orientation and all the computer and bagging training for my new job at kroger. Now that i'm done with the training, when do i start working at the store? and do i have to call them or do i wait for them to call me?
Hi. I worked for Kroger before about 3 years ago and made 12.35 an hour. I just got rehired at a different store and the hiring is done a.. little different now. I'm wondering if this is normal. Basically they are paying me minimum wage for the first few weeks to "verify my experience." Normal...
I put in for a vacation three months ago. Another girl who has been there a couple months longer than I have put in for the same week two days ago. the vacation is in two weeks at this point. my manager said there's no way we can both have the time off. Shouldn't I get the time off since I've had it in for months o...
Ok, today I did a "ballsy" move. I had the audacity to politely tell a checker that I had my own work to do. Today I was assigned to clean the entire store, which is quite a job. I even had to clean store shelves on the sales floor. I normally just do routine clean ups and help keep depts clean but to...
Hey there. I have a question for those that have status 3. I fufilled my 12 weeks of required hours to get an average of 34.8125 hrs.... I completed it last week but have not yet recieved my paperwork. Should I be worried? Or does it just take a couple of weeks to send? I talked to management at my store and th...
Hey, I work night stock at this f****ed up company and am really getting pissed. About every 2-6 weeks, my manager talks to us and says he's going to write us up or fire us if we don't start making case count, which is 55 cases/hr. How the hell are you supposed to do that? That's a case every...
I saw in ad in today's paper where Kroger was saying their prices were lower than Walmart's. The ad said, "Here's the proof." They showed four items: Four items out of the thousands of items that are available at a typical grocery store.
