If your food is abandoned longer than a week in the break room fridge it gets tossed.

I am tired of loosing space to abandoned food and after 3-4 days it isnt safe to eat. Stop complaining if your food gets tossed and its been in there long...

WTF was the point of the company removing or limiting the paid stickers?
(Preview)
The company hara$$es employees for having paid stickers. Half the time we can't find them in their front end designated area. Now we have to ask for them? Really! Alright I'm going back to just taping my receipt on it. I've seen fellow coworkers steal food and never get caught. Donuts are apparently a...

Get rid of "baby carts"
(Preview)
The Kroger I work at has those carts that are smaller in length and have two basket levels. Those carts are much harder to steer in stacks out in the parking lot and they're much more dangerous to push (with that bar that your legs get really close to). I've had instances where customers put so much on them...

Cut off a regular mark downer from being a nuisance with the mark downs.
(Preview)
Felt good to cut off a customer being a nuisance mark downer. I'm all for offering a discount to customers but when they begin to violate the mark down policy that's when I mind. Usually I just be firm and despite management giving me half a$$ed replies too chicken to do anything about it I just tell them "...

Tired of customers taking advantage of a discount program such as mark downs.
(Preview)
I've had it with asians taking advantage of mark down programs trying to scam a little discount from the store. In our culture we don't do this and it is against company policy to keep marking down products just because you don't want to pay full price. I'm fed up with my coworker starting this because th...

Dear customers: Stop stealing our end cap boxes because you're too cheap to buy a bag.
(Preview)
Let me get this straight that you can't just walk up to a display and steal the boxes under the product. 1 these are not very sanitary. 2 we only get a budget for so many of these annually. So once it runs out that's it and we have to make do with what we have for the rest of the year. 3 You people do this intention...

Coworkers are complaining now that store manager is making them perform to standards.
(Preview)
For years I noticed our department was not performing to standards and everyone figured out a routine that just sort of worked. No one was properly trained and they just fumbled and mumbled through the job. We finally got a new store manager that is making people follow the policies, procedures and ru...

Store managers that are not fired but moved to a different division so they don't have contact with associates
(Preview)
Happened in our store last week in the Local 1996 area. Store manager was only in our store two years then last week got bounced out. Kroger presented it as a "promotion" but I did a little digging on store manager disciplinary action and many times if there is a possibility of a wrongful termination law...

If you people can't bother to show up for your shifts: Quit!
(Preview)
It's mind boggling how you people who never learned to hold onto employment get through life. Those who never developed any financial skills and the money goes out faster than it comes in. Those that just job ghost without warning and screw your coworkers over on the schedule by job abandonment. How t...

Coworker going back to calling out again.
(Preview)
We know fellow coworker(s) that you call out the day before a vacation starts and the day you are to get back. They double schedule that week fully knowing that. So stop bi''ching about how there's two people on the schedule. It's not because they're replacing you, it's because they know you will call o...
