Well here in wonderful Cincinnati at the newly remodeld Maderia store, they just rolled out the latest, greatest futuristic deli ordering system. The customer walks up to a centralized ordering station where they give their meat and cheese request to the employee who then keys it into a touch scre...
I went from part time to a full time lead position recently, how many 40 hour weeks/8 hour shifts until i see this and have my pay rate and/or title change, or is this something i need to bug management about? Also i should be getting back pay to my effective position change right?
I am really ticked off. I was suppose to be off till Wednesday because I had asked to take a personal day on Tuesday. However, they scheduled me to work on Tuesday because my co-worker has a big order going out Tuesday and apparently I'm the only one who can help her, even though there are plenty of oth...
My local stores are co-opting a food and community volunteer based clothing drive. Very noble........but what bothers me is that, two of the associates I spoke to claimed their hours were "mysteriously cut" by five hours/week for the next two weeks, and that this is supposedly going to b...
To my great dismay, the screens they installed on the ceilings in the front aren't going to show cartoons, but rather the new QueVison thing. Can anyone give me a general low down on how these work/help? Lately, managment has really been pushing for u-scan attendents to pull over customers in long lin...
Its retarded! Almost every dept including managers lost there guns and we were down to 3 for the store so we have been lending the three guns to every otherdept for about a year. Well we got a new set and for some reason the only ones who get new ones are the ones who lost theirs. The gun we have doesnt like to s...
Got word today that our contract has been extended through the 15th of November. But in two months of negotiations they have only talked about the health plans partof things, not a thing about wages. They are going to bring in a health care expert to help with things, so I wonder how much that will cost...

I would like to rant on this cashier preformance bull****. they have started. I dont think its far they get paid to their job. Corporate needs to wake up and smell the coffee.
I've been a sacker at Kroger for a little over a year now and like my job. I get along pretty well with everyone there except for this one woman. She's the type who pretends she likes you but you can tell she can't stand you. Passive aggresive comes to mind. She also has an air of superiority and gets away wi...
I saw our most recent mystery shopper report and I was the one noted in the deli part of the report. While I got yes on all the things listed on their report, they listed me as 5-4' to 5-6'. I'm actually 5-9'. No problem hard to tell by looking but they listed me as 55. I'm nowhere near 55. My mother is 55 fo...
I have been working at kroger on 3rd shift for about 3 weeks now and i am still not used to the hours. I have only been awake today for about 5 hours and i feel like i have been awake for 12. My body always feels tired and wore down and my muscles stay sore. How did you other 3rd shifters get used to it? I figured i w...
And, no, it's not me. This girl I work with has been with Koroger since 2007, she works very hard and pretty much knows how to do everything in the department (Drug/GM). One of the section heads in the department is leaving to go back to school elsewhere, so his spot is going to be filled. She deserves this...
