Getting tired of cultures that price barter or take advantage of mark downs.
(Preview)
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...

Meat department needs to get their act together
(Preview)
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...

Valentine's Day stuff already
(Preview)
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...

Calling union about schedule not being published in a timely manner if it starts up again.
(Preview)
Our store can be flakey at posting the schedule in a timely manner. I will be calling the union next schedule if they don't get their acts together and publish the damn thing. What do you do in this scenario? A. Show up to work during your normal time frames if you work a repetitive schedule? or B. don't sho...

Our sales are down 24% compared to last year
(Preview)
Kroger will say it's our fault, but we've had the product out and shelves have been full for the most part. If something that's been ordered doesn't come in, that's not our fault. It's also not our fault when Kroger discontinues products and replaces them with inferior ones. Data for our store show...

Had to tell my coworker no to mark downs because they can't have fresh product at reduced prices.
(Preview)
I'm tired of them taking advantage of me and started telling them no. They want good product at mark down prices because they're well cheap. They have begun to take it a step further and I have had to tell her "Talk to management about it." If it's genuinely mark downable I can do it but i can't give you fres...

What was Christmas Eve like in your store?
(Preview)
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...

Illegal truck drivers. 99.99% are Mexican/Browns.

Almost every time our store gets freight, it's not stacked well but falling over b/c of their sh** driving. I don't le...

My team this time around sucks.

From males getting preferential treatment. To people abusing break times left and right to managers doing absolutely nothing about my coworkers slacking off and it is ridiculous what they get away with. Our lead is an alcoholic drunk and it's honestly a pain in the aff working with him. I'm glad I wor...
