I understand that to get holiday pay you must work your scheduled day before and after Christmas. Since it snowed quite a bit the day after Christmas I felt it wasn't safe to try to come in so I called off. Something like 20 people called off the front end alone. I was wondering if I would still get holiday p...
I was talking to a fellow employee today when the store manager stopped us and asked us if we knew what the 7x7 rule is. Were supposed to within 7 ft. and 7 seconds of seeing a customer, acknowledge them, make eye contact, ask if we can help and generally engage them. Well I told the manager I knew what it w...
:.........That somehow, some way, this whole trend of Corporate America gets reversed from the suicidally depressing crash-course programming of other wise decent human beings into mindless, shop-frenzy robots they've been zombi-fied into. Really. What the FUUUUUUCK has happened to us, wh...
You know the display of phones at the service desk ? Somebody stole one of the phones .... No retailer is going to display a real phone .. And if they did it surely wouldn't be on Velcro .
I just got hired. I got a letter to join the union and my stated payrate was listed on it. There is an overnight premium for working third shift. Would the rate on the paper be before or after the overnight premium? Thanks
i was working from oct-end of nov, when i broke my foot, i got fired because it happened off work and i missed too many days for recovery with a DR note releasing me to work the next day (with a cast and crutches) the manager stated "if your in a cast you cannot work" and was wondering if this is leg...

Kroger is no longer the Happy place ,it has changed so much in just the last three years ,it is now all about how much more work they can get out of the employees for less hours and how much more money they can put in thier own pocket. we no longer have manegment that cares about the employees and that realy i...
Is there anbody else out there that totally despises dairy leads? Not any particular person specifically but you know like all of them. I dread going to work most days. Get stuck with most of the perishable truck, milk truck breakdown, markdowns...and on and on. FML. To all dairy back ups and third wh...

Is it fair that a full time person from another can take front end hours if his department has no hours. He will be working as a cashier but when his department gets more hours he is going back to them. He has put 4people on call because of this. I have been working their longer but because he is full time he is...
Corporate greed has taken its toll on our workplace. The pay is horrible and so are the benefits. They never schedule any hours and they do all kinds of screwy stuff to make sure they aren't responsible for the screw ups. I believe we, as employees, need to take a stand. Individuals can talk but a group ef...
We just got a new royal decree from the managers that now, in the deli, if anyone walks up after 9 (our closing) we should wait on them if they seem desperate but only want a few items but that we should use our judgement. My judgement says to tell everyone "sorry, we're closed." But if you turn a...
Hello all...
This is probably a really dumb question considering (and assuming) all of you actually got hired and are working at Kroger or have worked at Kroger.
I got hired at McDonald's early December because I was desperate and they have zero standards and don't need references or work histor...
