In the Detroit area, Kroger and Meijer are covered by the same union but with much different contracts. Would it be possible to work at both places or would the union have something to say about that ? Would there be any problems other than paying twice as much in dues to the same union ? Would one of the...
1. The anti-theft system that goes off about 345,974 times a day. The meat we have sets off the system all the time and I'm starting to hear it in my sleep. The thing is, nobody higher up tries to fix it. I can't even imagine how much has been stolen from our store. We just wave people through and don't even ch...

I was Hired at krogers and worked for about two days, on the second day I decided to quit because the two front end managers made a big deal about me wearing jeans when the employee hand book said I could wear them! the manager huffed and puffed on the phone telling me that I was on 90 day watch or someth...
I am just going to rant for a sec . . . Blow off some steam. I love talking directly to executive managment. They hate it! They don't like it when somebody at a low level, such as myself, speak directly to them. It bruises their ego, you can tell. They think to themselves, "Who is this peasant, and how d...
I am a sacker. People view sackers as the scum of the Earth. We aren't important to managers, customers, or other employees (only in rare cases for other employees). I have been almost run over in the parking lot of my Kroger because some people don't even give a second thought about who might be behind t...
What is the criterion that Kroger uses for deciding who you can work for while you work for them? I contacted the union and they told me that there is no federal law that says you cannot work for whoever you choose - it is just Kroger law. Are all grocery chains considered competition? can you work for groc...
i don't understand why management seems clueless on what really goes on in the store. I can't understand also why they say they want everything Krogers way. But ignore the problems at hand that is affecting customers because an employee mentioned it, like we are stupid. Well wakeup people.........
So is anyone else in the same boat as I am and feel as I do, at a dead end job can never get ahead, unappreciated I am about to the breaking point and about to just tell everyone to **** off, GRRRRRRRRRRRRR.
if there were potentially a position availiable within your department (such as say, fruit cutter in within the produce department or maybe working with cakes within the deli department) how do you go about getting the job and what are your rights if you had asked for the job but they gave it to someon...
I wondering anyone in Georgia store area; can tell me what their higher pay rate for clerk-cashier for 8 yrs experience. I want to transfer from Michigan to Georgia.
Same as the title. I really doubt anyone from that store reads this blog. But perhaps someone in one of the lynchburg stores or even the farmville stores area present. I doubt the charlotsville or any other stores in that area know about the appomattox store. Anyway.. What have ya heard? Do you work...
it has begun one of the oldest kroger stores in GA is closing up, next month. too many stores, too close together, and they are competing with each other, which i was saying 6 years ago, when they built two krogers, inbetween where i live, and the kroger i work at/ you simply can't have stores five miles ap...
When they propose a new contract why do they put so much emphasis on the words within the contract instead of dealing with actual issues that need attention? It seems like the last time we had a new contract proposed, they didn't help [most] of the employees (they helped dept backups and that's about i...
