We had an issue last Monday night where I got halfway thru the order then she tells me it's Instacart. Had to void out the whole damm thing. There needs to be a limit of ONE Instacart per order. At my old store we had a FULL TIME employee just doing such orders. These people hold up regular customers some tha...

I usually don't mind being a team player, my coworker says she doesn't lie and her speach says that but her actions also dictate other wise. More than once she's asked to change or alter shifts. I usually don't mind but she's always asking last minute. More than once she's said "I have a major medical app...

On the old esced website, the sick pay equation would average 8 hrs for every 40 worked. On this new system it sucks. I average 32 hrs a week and I only gain about 1.25 hrs for every 8 hrs worked. It would take a year of not calling out once to accrue a full damn bank. I did call the union about this when we first s...

In my 30 plus years with Kroger I have never dealt with a more hateful person than she is. She used to work at Walmart and she said she fired someone who had worked there over 30 years, and she was smiling when she said it.

Co-manager pulled 13 pallets out of the freezer. Two of them were that day's bakery order, which is actually retrieved and put away every day. The remaining 11 belonged to meat department. It's not holiday stuff like turkeys either. There's hardly any room for anything else. Stuff just keeps...

Our 6PM close went very smoothy. One of our managers was turning away people that wanted to come in literally at the last minute to shop. Announcements were made aprox 45 minutes before closing and every 15 minutes our FES would do a reminder. I swung by Publix when I got off (they closed at 7PM) and I left...

The stupid apron/SLAVE collar you're "supposed" to wear that is uncomfortable and feels like you're being choked by a really weak midget for hours? Seriously, WTF was that g...

Finally some success in our store where the old manager began encouraging preferential scheduling. After numerous ethics reports for gender discrimination it was another nock against him and what got him fired in the long run. Unless an individual's restrictions generate a specific schedule, y...

We got a memo this afternoon about someone in central Georgia that passed a total of 125 fake Newport cigarette coupons. The notice had a picture of the license plate and apparently this same individual has been pulling this scam at various grocery stores in the middle and southern areas of Georgia fo...

I've repeatedly had to put my foot down about the rules about why we can't modify, change or "make up a price" on items. I've had to repeat crack down on repeat offenders who take advantage of mark downs to the extreme. I don't mind doing this from time to time but each time you come in is getting old and irri...

Unfortunately in my store (Local 1996 area) the top of the hour conditioning announcement is being made again. Is it still being broadcast in your store?

We got Valentine candy in three weeks ago, before we even got through Christmas. Today the bakery got in 50 cases, give or take one or two, of Valentive cookies, cupcakes, brownies, and heart shaped cakes. Valentine's Day is 46 days away. That's nearly seven weeks away. It was so much better when w...
