In my union contract, there is a provision that states: "When scheduling two (2) or more employees for less than an 8 hour shift for a similar assignment in the same classification, there shall be a lapse of at least two (2) hours between shifts." I've asked several people about how to inter...
Is this happened at your store? This flim flammer looks for new cashiers or the young ones. He gives them like a $20.00 bill and confuses them by saying didn't I give you a 50? I know that sounds easy to catch. They know how to do this and say more than just that to get the cashier distracted. One man came in an...
According to the contract in our area which is Oakland County Michigan, Meat Processor is a full time position at Kroger. Apparently they do not hire part time Meat Processors. So I wanted to know if anyone works in my area and can tell me what shifts are available. The stores around here are not 24 ho...
After 2 and a half years we finally have a contract proposal. The union has given us three days notice for the ratification vote. There is one meeting for the vote. I just can't believe they can't have more than one meeting. There is no way everyone can rearrange their schedule to attend. Don't they wor...
I had to break down a 400+ frozen order today (today's order+what the other guy didn't get put away yesterday.) A normal order usually runs about 50 to 60 pieces. The orders for yesterday and today were already big due to Thanksgiving but they added out over 100 pieces of Christmas items on both days...
I just got hired two months ago and I feel like I'm one of the top 5 baggers already. The rest of the baggers either have a bad attitude or bad work ethic. When I first started, I was doing a lot of favors for them. But now when I need a favor, no one gives a **** to fill my shoes on the carts for like 50 minutes whil...
I started at krogers in September as a front end cashier. They did my first review late, about 1 1/2 months of being there. Everything was good except that they said I had one customer complaint and that was that "I didn't talk much and didn't smile". They proceeded to say that I didn't intera...
Instead of changing out my till as had been practice under my old boss my new boss pulled the just the big bills and a bunch of twenties between customers. He had me do no sale-cash and open the drawer for him. I know I have the right to count my till between customers but we were slammed. Later one of the f...
I just have a little beef about customers that come in 5-15 minutes before close. They expect us to stay open just for them even though we come up to them and tell them "pay now or leave." We usually make a P.A. system announcement for the last 30 minutes, the last 15 minutes, 10 minutes, 5 minu...
I put in my two week notice two weeks ago. I didn't hear a single thing from the management about my resignation after a year and a half of working at Kroger, which is a bit odd. I'm resigning due to health issues. Last time I did, I did for the same reason, however after the two weeks, the called me back the da...
Kroger is gettin to be a joke! At our store they are hiring many part time associates. With all this going on our full time associates are getting hours cut cutting them to part time! We hear its going to get worse.
Like last year if i get stuck unloading a truck of 400 trees with a slow fat guy and a disabled co-manager, will be my last day. They better get their money's worth of labor up until thanksgiving. Cheap bastards.
Hello all. I'm new. I have an interview coming up but the thing is that I'm on probation for simple battery. It was classified as a misdemeanor but will be expunged in september if I behave myself. Will kroger still hire me? What should I do? I'm really worried cause I need the job to pay for my hospital bil...
how high does your store get at my store the current high score gets into the 110's but before our best cashiers all left we could get 150's at the highest our older full time cashiers score in the 70's-80's
I work in the meat dept for alittle over a year and a half and I am just a meat clerk nothing more. My manager tells me I have to cut meat like strips, ribeye, and other steaks if a customer ask me to. But I don't get pay extra for it, I am stuck at 7.45 right now. I got mad and told him to find out from the union if I am...

Also, my next raise i...
