Last night I had a customer come in and be an @$$ about a price. He kept making up stories about how he was this store last week and it was that price. I told him we couldn't price honor other stores within the company. Even if it's our sister store up the road. A lot of stores do flash sales and others do not. I'...
My district is talking about closing our stores at 9 or 10 pm due to lack of staff. Just means we'll get pissy customers that try to slip into the store after we close. I've stopped being in the register 20 min prior to closing because we mostly get small orders and I'm tired of customers walking up with a d...
I understand about social distancing and whatnot, but this asshat came in today and whilst standing in line, I got in line behind him. I was far enough back and he said "sir, can you step back a bit, mind social distancing? He was borderline rude about it and even snapped at a other co-worker who just walk...
I would love to hear from everybody on this. Does Rodney and the upper Kroger Corporate bigwigs REALLY KNOW AND UNDERSTAND all about the phoniness that surrounds the Store Walks, especially the Holiday Walks? Like, how the store managers force the employees to rush around, and get overtime, clean...
With theft being out of control and more and more stores closing over it it, do you see a day coming when virtually everything is on line pre pay and curb dash? do you think that would be cost effective?
At my store today we had an open house, with all sorts of corporate types walking the store for a few hours. We've been driven crazy with extra cleaning and stuff to do for this and several corporate people themselves have been helping to get things ready. Very little to no overtime has been allowed an...
Ok so what's the hack that everyone is using to keep their pick times down lol. They keep track of cancel/stops so how are people at my store having 25 second pick times? And I know their not that fast ;)
Another development since last I was on this site: One of the Kroger stores in my town went uder a few yrs ago. It had been in business since 1958 and had served countless thousands of area residents. The reason? Out of control theft. By the end, people were strolling right out the front with carts burst...
Kroger is honestly a great company but the people who run it make it so bad!! they treat all their employees like complete **** they never offer 40 hours to anybody because they dont want to give anybody benefits, they take away hours when they hire ALL new people when youre there longer and have author...
I just started working at Kroger and was told that we get an employee discount or special employee pricing on select apple products. I went to the apple store and it said that the kroger company or company website has the link to go to the specific epp store. where do i find this link? or does anyone know h...
If your division / store is using the new 'high falutin" Zebra handhelds, tell us if they are as great as Kroger Corporate thinks they are supposed to be! Have you had any problems with them? Are they making your job easier or harder? Is the software good? Are the Zebra units good quality? (speaking of...
I've been gone a long while and a lot's happened. I'd like your thoughts/stories on how this pandemic has affected you and your job---i.e., the mandatory masking, vaccine push, short staffing / store supplies, etc. I'd also like your feedback on how many stores across the country all of a sudden wen...
Any other stores notice that starbucks is having staffing issues along with deli? In the past starbucks use to fine kroger for kiosks being closed for more than 24 hrs. I guess 3+ days in a row is okay now??? We lost about 20% business from our morning starbucks customers obtaining their coffee or pastr...
This shutting down all the cashier lanes and condensing everything into SCO stations and thereby elliminationg maybe thousands of cashier jobs? Do you realize what a tidal wave of opportunity you've given thieves, in your ever quest to save money??? I've got a stack of cash I've been collecting fro...
Just gonna wear these masks forever? Hardly anyone else has to wear them. None of the fast food joints are even wearing masks anymore, and they are actually handling people's food. So what's the point now? Tired of this BS.
Hi there, Im a reporter at the New York Times. Im trying to learn about how workplaces, including Kroger and elsewhere, are using software to track their employees productivity. Do you, your friends, or family have any experience working in jobs where your performance how quickly youre working, o...
Please stop informing others you quit. That is a very selfish action and we don't give a fu-ck! Work is work eventually you just have to buckle down and deal with it. The job market has changed people. The jobs that our parents had to get their career going we don't have. You sort of have to take what comes y...
