I started working at Kroger exactly one week ago. I hate it here. More specifically, I hate my job. To begin with, I wanted to work part-time. I have one day off this next week. I applied for a cashier position, since I have experience and am a "people person", and they stuck me in produce. I'm 5...
I have posted copies ( pdf files ) onkrogertalk.com of what local 540 and local 1000 has at the moment. It has pissed the locals off as they do not think non members should have that information. They are there is you want to see them. but what I would like to know is if there is any others out there that can ge...
I was wondering, during the night shift stocking fiasco...what does it mean to block an aisle. I'd appreciate some feed-back...and some pointers to make this job easy for me(I'm starting this Monday)...thank you so much-K.K.
Not really. Basically getting ****ed out of my job right now. There are 3 stores in town, and another in the next town over, about 45 minutes away. One of the stores in town is closing because it sucks, it's always in the bottom 5 in the division. They are letting the people at the store that's closing take...
Hi everyone, I applied to Kroger online a few days ago and got a call back to come to an interview the very next morning. Since I received a call does this mean I have a good chance at employment? I have indicated that I want to work the 3rd shift stocking shelves. I have previous experience working at UP...
do any of you dumb asses know that there are two buttons you can choose to respond to a post??? Stop hitting the QUOTE BUTTON and use the REPLY BUTTON you pimply butt ass loosers! We dont need to re-read the previous posters post again. If any of you finished 8th grade you would understand these basic co...
I just got trained to be a cashier yesterday and today. But by train I mean 'Have Dustin train with ____ for one hour today and tomorrrow'.(Another bagger got trained as well.. But they got 8 hours of training.) Now, I don't think that is enough training for one person. But anyways, today they got onto m...
Now what ur experiencing is the dreadful implementation of the 30% full time rule. It's only going to get worse from here on out. Regardless of what ur store mgmt, district mgmt., or general office try to convince you of this fulltime reduction plan is their major objective. The harsh reality is that...
IN a letter I saw @ work today, It stated that Kroger and UFCW came to the following agreement. Employees hired 1/1/2003 or before (I believe it 1/1/, but I am sure its 2003) will be entitled to day to day bumping of schedule as opposed to week only. This new rule takes place on 6/1/12. I suppose this mean...
I hate the markdown program. I'd rather produce less product and have the shelves be a little less full than to have to mark down entire shelves of breads and cakes. Today I saw a woman at the bakery counter and asked her if she needed any help. She said she was waiting for somebody to mark down the cake...
What the hell is going on? The vendors say its coming from up above which might be true but on the store leval is is unsain!!! Under staffed every department and expect everything 100%. Yes, alot of the new programs are great but without help it cant be done. I understand having part time help but serious...
I am looking to find employees I worked with in 1982 at the Buckhead Kroger back when the Limelight Club existed. I, Jeanette, worked in the produce department with Louie and John. The produce manager's name was Tom. It has been so long that I forgot their last names but would recognize them if someon...
I quit kroger then came back like 6 months later and got put in the meat dept. I was making 9hr in the bakery and that's what I started put at in the meat dept.But I had no prior meat experience all my experience was in bakery so I then got put in the stores union not the meat union my question is if they find out c...
Ok, I went to the store today as a customer and ended up talking to my manager, and she gives me a paper that is this employee survey. Basically, you have to rate yourself on how you feel you're doing in several categories (superior, acceptable, or developing skills) and then the supervisor will mark it...
I went back to work Tuesday after my vacation. Tuesday is senior discount day. During my time off nothing changed. As busy as we were, there were only 6 cashiers on the schedule all day. And they wonder why we don't get anything done in our departments. We have over 100 employees and the hours our sp...
So last night whoever makes the schedule forgot to put someone in grocery so i had to work frozen in grocery backstock.....thats all well and good, but we get perishable trucks on sunday nights and i have never unloaded a truck or even used the power equipment for that matter. I told the grocery manager...
Nobody wants to work night crew anymore due to our new night shift leader (he has only been a kroger employee for a few months and kind of stepped into the job) who is a real jerk-off and treats us with ZERO respect. On top of that we have a manager who creates severely poor orders (lots of backstock and ov...
