Every store has their issues with management, or their own corporate office. Cultural councils are okay, but I have no idea who's in my stores cultural council, and my voice sure isn't heard. Were is the corporate representative who really gives a damn? When they come to our store they don't talk to em...

I was just wondering if all the Kroger stores are doing this. Every hour on the hour a manager will get on the PA system and say " All department heads rebound your department" meaning to condition and straighten up. We are doing this in West Virginia stores. A memo came down from our zone mana...
File Maintenance Clerks are crazy, and I think they pick people that fill the position that are completely insane. The first one I worked with was cranky, hated all of humanity and just didn't care. He'd curse Kroger, management and everyone else. He got written up for cursing out a department head, c...

I wish there was the idea of a "Demo Coordinator", a person who goes around the store to show how to do a successful demo and increase sales in doing it.

I dont remember typing in my BMI(body mass index), height, and health conditions into the system where it pulled out such an exaggerated piece number. Ive always got the "N&...
