kroger owns payless. kroger is union, payless is not. kroger owns alot of nonunion grocery stores. this could cause a breakoff of the union (( Wikipedia Teamsters )). what i am wondering is there any movements to unionize payless stores in indiana.
I'm sure everyone has had their fair share of times when they felt that they need to relieve some steam or be forced to deteriorate, both physically and mentally, over it. So here I am to relieve some of the pressure without having to balls up to do it to someone who could change things. I've been working...
I think Key Retailing is going to be the death of Kroger. Its turning Krogers into Mcdonalds. 1 You can't think or use common sense. In Mcdonalds you cook a burger for 2 mins on each side flip. Then you add 2 dollops of ketchup etc. You can't think for yourself or make a decision. 2 Its turning us into r...
I've been meaning to get on here in awhile. I talked to the FS that snapped on me that day. We actually do get along. It seemed she was feeling the same way the rest of the store was that day. I found out that the bagger that was going out after me went on break at the same time I was scheduled to clock out for the d...
So the new ad comes out for Thursday. We get in the tags to change, however, they are ALL out of order! Usually they are sorted by aisle and department. None of the tags had the location system numbers on it. I find out that they are actually sorted by thier UPC number, in order increasing in number. This ma...

About a month or so ago I posted about a situation going on at the store I currently work at. Some things have changed since then: Quevision has been implemented and sure enough, it is making life stressful for everybody on the front end and other departments minus the cashiers. We had an incident on...
Ok well since we're sorta in a lag her on this forum, let me toss out this question to you all?I have several new employees in my department, one of them a man in his early 50's or so. He is a great worker and so far so good, Twice already he has had an 'episode' where he is gaggin' and moanin' and lookin' like...
Dude got me thinking about things. Many of us own homes; all of us, at one time or another, will experience electrical problems. Most of us living on the incomes that places like Kroger and Wal-Mart provide, if we own our homes, live in old school constructed places.These are the things you need to watc...
When I went to break last night I noticed a paper with the toll free number to call Kroger about theft and similar things in my locker. I at first blamed it on a friend at work who sticks stuff in my locker like, religious tracts, silly pics drawn on the back of receipts, etc. When I asked her about this she m...
The department head in the department I'm in has decided to transfer to another store after being there for several years. The position was posted last week and the only person who has put in for it is from another store, has never worked in this particular department, and has been with Kroger for less t...

I work 3rds so I dont see what happens during the day. But I do see that over 100 hours are scheduled in Daytime Grocery per week (divided among several part-timers) and I see that very little to nothing is done in my dept. When pressed for answers, I am told that they spend most of the time running a regi...
The system has been installed, but not activated at the store I work at. So, I don't know much at all about it. I'm not even sure what the name of the system is.
Back in November, my store got a new manager. In this store, we never keep a manager around for more than a year or two tops, but I have been praying every single day for this man to get fired, transfered, or quit. Right off the bat, you could tell he couldn't be trusted. He is a liar to the extreme. As a Union S...

She said I will get $7.40 (min wage in Ohio) and in 60 days I can apply for a union credit cause I have had restaraunt experience (4 years waitressing experience). Is she...
So, I'm curious to know if anyone from Indiana has any insite on the new Fort Wayne area union contract. Some how, the contract was ratified and today people recieved a wage increase (25 cents) or a check for 525 dollars (before taxes.) To recieve the check you had to be a "red-circled employee&qu...
