They ain't so happy, these holiday times. I'm almost three months in at my job, and I am left alone in evenings (well, everyone else leaves 2 or 3:30pm - rare some stay past, but I rearly seem them on the floor, dept. heads, etc.), on the holidays, to handle all of dairy. I'n not so young, and I'm not so tall....
I was 'Suspened' earlier today. For 'Violence in the Workplace.' They have to 'review the situation' before I can go back to work. Today, Not even 2 minutes into my shift, that annoying woman (I talked about earlier in the Treated Unfairly Post) who hates me for absolutely no reason, gave me another...
At our store we have a bunch of signs in the milk department that say something along the lines of "The dates don't lie! Kroger brand milk really stays fresher longer!" How can that be true? What are they putting in the milk that keeps it fresher longer?
Total hyprocrassy here; gonna put that up front. I'm a salaried manager for Wal-Mart, but I do almost all my shopping at Kroger these days. Because why? Because first off, the prices/selections have become increasingly competitive. CHRIST, we can't even compete with Road Ranger or 7-11 any more! B...
I heard today that we won't be getting the $15 gift card we've been getting this tome of year for the last several years. Anyone else hearing of things like this? It kinda sucks mainly because someone posted a article on our bulletin board about Kroger raising expectations on earning because of a bet...
If I wanna give a christmas card, candy cane, etc. to a co-worker, does it have to be when we're both off the clock? I don't want to get in trouble if the company considers it to be a tip.
We're having a promotion in the Southwest called 'Wing in the New Year'. Well, I try and come up with some ideas how to mercendise and push this product. Well, I got to thinking if people have plain wings they're going to want to season or sauce them.. Well, we had a walk through from our District Manager/...
the only way you get anywhere at this crazy place is by kissing ass.the true hard workers are stuck working their asses off for the rest of there lives.

Hello, I'm a new Kroger employee. My store is located in VA. At first it was fine, I got pretty much ft hrs (yet still called pt cause it never goes 40 hrs for 12 weeks straight ).. Then it seemed to normalize (for what pt should be, around 20 hrs a week or so, I have another pt job I'd like to keep, so this is impo...
This woman, who just came back from pregnancy leave, apparently hates me. She constantly tells me, (and only me, not the other 8 baggers there with me) to use the loose bags before I leave. She doesn't tell me, it's like she demands it. Like eariler today, Angry Woman: Use all of these bags before you lea...
I went into work on monday in the deli and we had 5 people plus the chicken person. All of but one was scheduled at least 7 hours and for a about an hour we were all there at the same time. We got all of our work done and then some, but Monday is a traditionally a slow day for us. Yet Tuesday which is our senior d...
Ever had that one coworker that has a lot of seniority, thinks they know everything, and makes themselves a self appointed supervisor by telling the real supervisors about everything the lower employees do that slightly annoys them?
Really makes life a *****
Trying to re-define the definition. PT=5-6 days aweek for 4-5 hours anight for 24-25 hours aweek. If I got to dressup in the d#mn uniform and drive my car in 5 days aweek, I'd ask for FT or go look for a FT job. Why in the hell would I want to come in more days than a Full TImer. Guess they think nobody has anythi...
I am going to begin my second job in January but because my new employer is on winter break I don't know exactly when I will start. Currently I work at a Houston-area Kroger as a courtesy clerk and I would like to know which of the 3 options I should take: 1. Quit 2. Transfer to a store closer to home 3. Ask for r...
Sorry but I need to vent a little bit! I go into work in the deli Thursday morning and just before I go to the time clock to clock in, the power goes out. Stays out for over an hour so we have to cover the cases and tell the stupid customers that we can't slice them anything because our slicers have no power a...
I went on one interview with this company and was told I would have a second Formal interview and have to wait 6 weeks for a background check (Pharm. Tech Position). Well the Pharmacy manager did leave a voice mail trying to arrange an interview. I called him back the next day and also twice afterwards (t...
Does anyone know how to get your W2 electronically before they mail them out? I usually get mine in the mail at the end of January. Is there a way to get your Kroger W2 faster?? Thanks
