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...

Well maybe promised is an overstatement, but anyway here's the story. We recently learned our store is closing "because the location failed to meet sales expectations," according to a local news article. I'm not sure what that means, but I DO know it means I'm out of a job. Well, maybe....
just trying to get a general discussion going from stores throughout the midsouth. SO, did anyone actually pass their certification awhile back? Sure thought carbondale would being as it's Gina's home store...hmmmm
What are Kroger's rules regarding the use of smokeless tobacco by employees while on the clock and/or while on Kroger property? My store manager turns a blind eye to this problem and allows a few employees, including a dept. mgr. to chew & spit while on duty. They do this even in our tiny lunch roo...
If anyone out there has a scanner and the time, (I know we're all busy!) I'd love to see the appomatox/farmville, raleight-durham, and richmond-tidewater contracts. They aren't available online like many of the others are. It's interesting to see the many differences when you spend time diggin...
Does anyone know exactly what formula they use for ELMS? I know that items per minute is a big part of it, but I also know that transation time and customers per hour have something to do with it along with some other things.
Has anyone else out there been noticing a lot of meeting going on at their stores? At mine, they had a meeting to teach the different generations of employees how to work together, and how front end supervisors can talk to the younger ones. Seem to me that since our contract is up this fall they are goin...
Crazy customer threatened me today because I didn't go get him an electric cart. He said he had power and I was going to lose my job tomorrow. I work at ucan so it is not my job to go get him an electric cart so walk your lazy ass over there and get it yourself. Does anyone know if anybody gets fired from a crazy c...
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.
