this is just a little something I came up with to compare working with raising a child. When hired you spend the first two years trying to learn the company directions, issues and policies so that one can be a long term happy employee of the company. #! Then you hit the terrible twos`s where you become a te...

I know many of you have that stupid donut program in your stores: 1 dozen glazed mini donuts for $3.99. We've been doing a case a day which makes about 8 dozen. The only time we sell any is when we mark them down half price. The most any store in the division has sold in one week is three dozen. Last wee...
What is the Kroger policy on the music that is allowed to be played in our stores? We're playing Christmas music, but not allowed to tell customers "Merry Christmas." How are they allowed to play Christmas music such as "Silent Night" and "Feliz Navidad" throughou...
I've been working at my store for almost 6 months and have no had problems with scheduling so far until we recieved a new manager. Since then I have always had issues. I will constantly be scheduled when I cannot work. When I was hired I told them and it is on recond that I am a student and that these are my ava...

I worked in the deli today and not only were the opener and myself scheduled 2 1/2 hours apart to begin with, Our chicken person called in 15 minu...
Hi everyone, I've worked at Kroger for about 6 years now. I'm 7 months pregnant and was just put on bed rest so I can't return to work until after the baby is born. I'm not sure what my next step needs to be as far as getting paid medical leave, and the person that deals in this stuff at my Kroger doesn't seem to...
Really!!!! My floral manager is over the top. She has a daily list and most days has extras but do I really need to dust the table and sign bottoms daily?
About five or six years ago I saved a ferral cat in my store. It was in the store for about two weeks, I was working on the night crew stocking and the first time I saw the cat it was running around in the Deli. Nobody could catch it, and one night it ran past me and jumped under an isle end cap, so I made my move a...
I was told recently about something that goes on in negotiation meetings and I thought this was very interesting. In the meetings apparently the said human resources personnel representing Kroger will step outside of the meeting with one of the lead negotiations for the union and talk outside the m...
Hi, I've recently inquired about getting into this position. I would like a little info about how the accounting process goes down and what things I should prepare for. If anyone has any experience please state what it's like and your likes/dislikes about the position.
there were two posts on this forum about kroger reducing hours on part timers due to obamacare. The sources these two posts cited were conservative websites where one actually cited the other. So there is only one source that makes this claim without citing anyone from kroger. The Doug Ross journ...
I've heard some of the baggers talk about making more money through tips so they're happy to help customers to their cars. They probably make more money they I do as a cashier. I don't know the company tipping policy if there is one.
So yeah, just got hired as a courtesy clerk a few days ago, so far, I really love the atmosphere, most everyone is real friendly and helpful as heck, but I have a few questions for y'all :) 1) Any tips to make cart pushing easier? I'm not particularly strong, and they assigned me to push them for a good 2-3 ho...
My dad just recently lost his job unfortunately and our health insurance has just expired. is it possible to get some coverage under part-time status? if so, how should i go about doing this?
Is there a way I can make a complaint about a co-worker in a more anonymous way? I'm not a higher up, he's at my level so I can't really bitch to him about not getting something done and expect it to work. This worker in particular hasn't been keeping up with his responsibilities for a while and it has crea...
Here we are at the end of the year, and at my store they have spent a good chunk of money on trash cans bolted to the cart stalls. Seems to me that they are trying to get a tax write off or something? In 8 years I've never heard of any store having trash cans on the cart stall, nor have I heard of any demand for th...
