Is this your first job?

It's not normal, but sometimes when they need help they cut corners. There is always a time book somewhere ask at customer care/service booth. Second, never work without recording your time- this goes for any other job you have.

Depending on what department you work affects your pay rate. With prior experience you get "experience" pay. If you are a courtesy clerk you will make at least minimum wage. If you are a checker expect .10 more an hour.

Your pay rate depends on your union contract.

Ask your direct supervisor to put you in the time clock.

It's up to your union. I'm a part timer, I get the same benefits as a full time employee. You would need a copy of your union contract to find out when you would be eligible. Kroger is a great company in my opinion, but when our superiors cut corners it affects everyone including our customers.

You can search by state here http://www.ufcw.org/
Find your state then look for your union and contact them.
