So, I have a manager who, from what I've heard, is three grievances away from getting fired. Everyone knows she'll act up and it'll happen eventually, but most of us are just getting tired of dealing with her constant demeaning attitude and incompetence. Seriously, the store would function so much b...

Has anyone ever been sent home early? Tonight the managers went around and asked if anyone could go home early, I told them I couldn't be done by 8 but I could get out of there by 8:30.

So due to school next semester I am having to move about an hour and a half from the kroger I am working at. I told my store manager about my plans and he told me I needed to call Krogers around my new area to see if there was a spot for a cashier. I called 4 krogers around my new area and 3 of them told me I would have...
Here was a situation that happened to me today: After bagging someones order, I started walking to bag another lane because it was in a desperate state.

I thought we were to get pay raises with this contract starting 3/24 but it says my pay rate is still the same as before. Does anyone know anything about this? Figured I'd ask here before I ask union rep
My shifts are pretty much open-ended and sometimes I have to work late afternoon/early evening. Of course this also means I have to deal with the lazy kids. Well one evening lazy kid comes in and tells me that I only need to worry about the corral furthest away from the lobby. I get there to discover that...
