A woman came up to the bakery counter and wanted a cake written on. She looked at the 1/4 sheet cakes for $15.99 and said Costco has cakes twice this size for this price. I told her this isn't Costco. Another time a guy came up and wanted to know if we were going to reduce the price on a pie because the crust...
The store I work at just had both the first of the month and senior Wedensday all in one day. We were super busy and had a hard time keeping the carts up to speed. To top it off our lazy baggers were there. So as fate would have it, it was the last hour of my shift and I had lot duty after one of the lazy baggers. I ha...
I've been debating whether or not to post this for about a week now. I've viewed this board as not only a source of very good information regarding things that haven't reached our region yet, but as a place to share input and help other employees. I also include nocturnia even though he is with Wal-Mar...
My wife lost her coverage on my plan. She was a rider. the UFCW SAYS I DID NOT CHECK THE RIGHT BOX ON MY ONLINE FORM. This is so petty. She has been on my Ins for 20 yrs. I am appealing the decision. Just pisses me off.
We have 4 employees whom recently were caught eating an item off the shelf a few nights ago by risk management. They said it was a sample but it was an hour before close so I doubt they buy that. The one girl is on camera getting the items and the other 3 just
Were eating it. They were told they'd know in 10 day...
We were given a cookout for having so many days without an accident and guess what. They served strawberry creme cakes and nobody from the bakery complained about it.
Any know what the "break" policy says?... new rumors spreading that if you work a 6 1/2 hr shift.. & your lunch is in the middle of the shift.. you get no break?.. for example working from 12-6:30 ( w/ 1/2 hr lunch) so if lunch is at 3 (middle of shift) you get no break.. but if your lunch is at s...
Can Kroger (Fred Meyer) change the schedule if you were allready approved for time off & change it to where you no longer get those approved days off?... Especially if you got approved well in advance of their time frame for asking?... & have allready made plans, & spent money for whateve...
I like to use this place to vent, and of course keep a record seperate of my own on how this lady behaves. We had our memorial day picnic today for associates. (Cultural council sponsored) I asked the cake lady last week for either 2 24ct cupcakes or a sheet cake for the picnic. We had hotdogs, hambur...
So the stores in the Fort Wayne area have this thing called Zoo Week. One day of this week starts the event and 3% of all profits that day benefit the local children's zoo. The following 6 days customers have the option of rounding up to the next dollar to benefit the zoo that way. It's crazy how many custom...

Can a person be fired for looking for another job while still working at kroger? Does the union do anything or can the person still be terminated just for looking for another job.
There's a People of Wal-Mart site; I think there should be a similar one for Kroger! True story------folks, I'm an imaginative guy, but there's some shiit you simply can't make up---: a couple come into the store I shop at. He is white and at least sixty years old; he looks like the Crypt Keeper, only wea...
This happened to me a few years ago. I was at work and an elderly man was having trouble getting an electric cart to go. The people who were working customer care at the time couldn't figure out what was wrong. So they ask me to come take a look. I find out that it wasn't unplugged. But before I could get a word...
I handed my keys and over ride card in tonite with a note saying I want to "step down" from supervising. It's not really stepping down since you're not getting paid any more to do it but I didn't know how else to put it. Things are out of control, unorganized and just plain crappy for me to do it fo...
Ok, ive worked at Kroger now for a month, and have YET to get my first paycheck... while 3 other employees that were hired in at the SAME time as me have now ALL gotten at least one check. Is this normal, or even LEGAL, for them to hold a check over a month?
