I am also frustrated with distros cuz I unload the truck and have to find places to p...
Seriously, I posted this 4 months ago. I've had a job at a nice liquor store that sells awesome craft beer and lots of wine for a month and a half since. I actually get 10 hours OT every week. What kroger employee...
I like working at kroger. Nice people (for the most part) and so far the hours have been perfect. They kept telling me that whenever I start going back to school, to let them know about how many hours I want. Well, I started my college classes, and the night before my first day I was scheduled for 10-4AM (ni...
I've been working here for a while and since I was hired, all they've had are like XXL mens and womens shirts for employees. I've asked many times, and all I get is an "Oh! We'll get right on that!" It's been over 2 months now. I'm tired of wearing a girls shirt. I would've even bought one online m...

So what are the qualifications for getting a merit raise and who makes the final decision? Also is it just a bump up one pay step or is it multiple pay steps?
Hello Everyone, I have recently offerent the opportunity to interview for the MD1 Program. It's a 17 week program that prepares associates for stepping into the role of Co-Manager. I was just wondering if anyone knows much about this program and what it actually encompasses. Also if there is an...
Hi I am in California and our KMA is usually the last to get the wonderful Kroger programs that are devised in some underground lab back east. It is interesting to read this forum and see how bad it really is going to get out here if Kroger gets their way in all different aspects of our business. Anyway wh...

Letter of UnderstandingEver wonder what would happen if parts of your contract was used and enforced? Just not sure who to blame on this one. Kroger, the union or even the members for falling for this garbage. Time to push the issue and have local 540 and kroger answer what to do about this agreement. Bu...
Hi.
I'm hoping to transfer to another district, with another local. I have been employed at Kroger for ten years and became ACSM only last year.
The place I am hoping to transfer to has 2 pay scales for ACSMs; if you were hired before 2010, it's $4 higher than if you were hired after.
Does anybody he...

Anyone else have pics or stories of the crap pallets the warehouse likes to send to stores? This is the one they sent today, but I've seen way worse than this. At least this one isn't leaning halfway to the floor.

One wasnt able to go but the other was sent to checker school 2 weeks AFTER he was hired. I was not consulted about this, even tho I was asked mon...
I recently moved from deil department to the dairy when I got the back up position in our store. They didn't move to the dairy until one week before the the head dairy man went on vacation so he didn't have anytime to train me. They only scheduled the two of us, so we had to take the time to stock the departm...
