Does anybody have the same problem we have in my store? I work in Dairy, as backup. When my manager is off - and it is backstock day - no one but myself is scheduled in the dairy until late afternoon. On these days I have to write orders, completely fill up a case in the floral department, condition, do markd...

One of the more pastimes I have at work is to chat with the Pepsi vendor when he comes in while I'm filling ice cream. Being within the same age range (our 20s), we hold a lot of the same viewpoints in common. As we all know, there are few things more amusing than stupid customer stories. He and I share a lot of...

I upset a fellow co-worker today and he said "I'm going to murder you." At the time I was too busy trying to work out the issue but after talking to some friends they think I should go to management... I'm pretty sure it was a heat of the moment thing. I apologized for my oversight that had inconv...

I work in the front end as a cashier, and recently a lot of the other cashiers also have had our hours cut down from 30ish hours to at most 17 a week.And the worst part is, we have almost no baggers scheduled. Maybe it's the quevision we just started to use? Has this happened at anyone else's store?

While at work today in the deli, our CSR called for all departments to help up front. she called three times right in a row and I was trying to make the sandwiches and hotdogs they want us to have out at four. So I couldn't go the second they hollered. Finally the dept. back-up tells me to go up front or t...

I've been with Kroger for 3 years since July, and hit full time about 3-4 months ago. I've been told by several other employees that I should have recieved a second vacation on my 3rd anniversary, but I haven't and HR can't even tell me (she's a nut). They were renegotiating the union contract not too lon...

I work as backup in the deli, as I might have mentioned a few times.. not sure. Anyway my manager is really useless. We have more drama than any other department. I'm wondering if this is common or just something that happens in just my store cause I've seen a few of the comments here that are about the d...

Not alot of posting going on the past few days

Have they made any changes to the ELMS formula? I have noticed in the past year, that it is getting harder to make ELMS, specifically with items that have a large quantities (such as someone having 40 Kool-Aid packets). These orders used to bring my ELMS sky high. Now, I am lucky to get over 100%.

Is an allocation how many rows or facings have been given to an item, or how many of a particular item will fit on a shelf?

I work part time in the meat dept at krogers..for the last two weeks they have given me no hours/ does the union protect me to at least get some hours?

Any other stores or divisions having an issue with Salvage (Stacks of Blue Chep Pallets, Cardboard Bales, etc)? Our store can be the last store on the trailer and the driver cannot take salvage because he has to go up north to the Kraft DC or to get a load of turkeys. I know this isn't the driver's fault, bu...

I work in the deli bakery. We have just one oven in the bakery. The chef shop and deli share a small oven. In the four days before Thanksgiving we have to bake 3 to 5 times the amount of bread we normally do, bake around 120 cases of pumpkin and sweet potato pies, and bake 20+ cases of fruit pies. Normall...
