Problem is this is not a perfect world or a perfect job. Guessing here that you are still a kid and at an entry level spot as a bagger. Now this is my advice for you. **** happens and it is not a big deal and if you are the worker you say or think you are then just do the job, shut your mouth and co-operate and the hours will get there. Now with the attitude of f*** this and S*** or them and flipping everyone off, then good bye and good riddens. And will guess that with a spoild attitude , like the one you have here, it will not be the only job or jobs you quit in the next year or so. Like I said it is an entry level spot, as a bagger , and if you can not handle it or work hard enough to progress then shoot off you mouth , quit and start looking for the next job that you will fail in or quit.
Now prove me wrong and tell me to go **** off you get screwed.
I would love to see more of your mature attitude here.
I think that Grumpy here is a member of Managment. They tend to tow the company line. Which basically means this: If you are pissed off at a member of management, never expect any sympathy from another member of management. They kiss each others ass, and don't want to hear you saying anything bad about those who they brown-nose.
Don't let these old folks, who make way too much money, who work the easiest shifts, tell you that you are a complainer. Furthermore, don't let them act like they are God's. Thier jobs aren't any more complicated than that of a bagger. They just act like it is. Get a good education, and DO NOT look at Kroger as a long-time career. Otherwise you will be just like this Grumpy guy. A wrinkly, old ass-kisser.

Ass kisser??????????
Management?????????
far from it. If you ever took the time to read any of the posts then you know that I am a market manager at store 488 in McKinney Texas. management is also not union members and do not set on a contract team for the union in negotiations. But in any JOB one can tell who the whiners and complainers are. Seen far too many times where they want to bring in kids and they think they know all and want top pay without ever earning anything. Do not have to be in management to realize that a DEAD **** or a DEAD ass is the same regardless of age. When a job has to be done it has to be done and if all you want to do id bitch and moan then there is always the door and if it does not hit you on the ass going out, I can make damn sure it does.
Now to your credit you at least have the ball to create a profile and stand behind what you say. Now if you want to work with Anonymous ball less kids that bitch and moan and threaten to want to quit then so be it. Have all you want of them. But do not come bitching and crying when you are held accountable fof all the worthless DEAD weight ass holes that you admire and want .Seems that you just do not need to be in management to understand that a wasted DEAD weight employee is not worth having around and needs terminated or run out the door.
RIP Dead Barney. Your lazy ass whining attitude will get you in the end no matter if it is Kroger or the next job you have that you hate.
sadly, favortism exists at any job.never has a job , where everybody pulled their own weight. but getting so pissed, you flip out, and walk, won't help yourself, and won't hurt kroger. they will shrug, and replace you the next day. naw, seriously doubt grumpy is management. read too many posts, where he wans't on the management band wagon, and management gets their veiw frow a script.
Favoritism does exist to a point in not just kroger but most any job. yes there is a union contract and seniority is to take place but when it comes to Krogers department managers, the Store director has the ability to pick who they feel more comfortable to do the job the way they want it done . problem is that there are a lot of good workers out there that are many times better that the ones above them. But can they handle the job the way their store director wants it done and deliver the results they want? You can be great but if you have a pissy ass attitude and bitch and moan and want to quit, then why the hell would any supervisor want to recommend you to a store director for promotion. It took me three years to get a market but it was not because of my ability to handle the work, cutting, paperwork or other parts of the labor issue in the market. It was because of a past hot headed reputation . It take time to convince the right people that you can handle people correctly, train them and keep an even temperament when you have a hot headed past rep. I can here all these anonymous posters bitch and complain about the ones over them being fat and lazy and not doing their job. They whine and cry and threaten to quit. They are usually either new or in entry level spots. They need to learn to work first , bitch less and stay consistent and let key people notice their work and ability to work WITH OTHERS first. I have had two good assistants that I would not recommend to be promoted because of poor attitudes and they would have ended up loosing crews and unable to train others because of their attitudes. I also just lost my second assistant in two years as this one was promoted by my pushing him for a promotion. May not be the fastest but consistent and able to work great with everyone including the moaning bitching crybabies.
If your idea of carrying your own weight/not being lazy means kissing ass, then yes: I am VERY LAZY! And if I get passed over for a promotion by somebody who has their lips pernamently attached to managements ass, I will complain and I will be called a whiner. But I will live with dignity and the self-respect of knowing that my lips and nose are not brown. Your idea of a good employee is one that is a sycophant. Doing their job correctly is secondary.
I will be in Managment just as soon as I am finished with school. And it will be because of hard work. Not because I stroked the wangs of Managment.
Still can't believe you had to kiss ass for THREE YEARS to make up for your past hot-headed reputation. Your lips must be numb! Ouch.

You can call it what you want but I can assure you it is not kissing ass. It is called growing up and learning to be a respectable normal level headed person. Stop and look at most of your good management in any area or retail. Those that do not learn to work in a system generally does not last long. You can do things your way and different ways as long as you get the results that any business wants. But look at any management in kroger or other business and see how many lasts if they are not willing to change some and that are hot headed and short tempered. Those are two traits that does not work for any supervisor / management in the retail field. Now with your education, I am sure that you will do well in the future but If you do not ever want to learn to work in some type of system and learn to control temper and outrage moments, then you will never be as successful as you think you will be. Nothing is perfect in life unless you are looking at it thru your rose called glasses. But then call it like you wish. If growing up and learning to work in a system is kiss assing then so be it. If that is something you are not willing to do ( grow up and work in a system till you have a chance to change it) Then get your gun now and start hitting the 7-elevans or Circle-k stores now. You will fail.
This whole post started with some kid who is being screwed over by a member of management. So I will go back to that.
Dear, Mojo.
Be who you are. If that gets you fired, so be it. If your values dictate that you won't be pushed around by some half-witted member of management (who is WAY overpaid considering bonuses, etc.) then chances are you will be dissapointed throughout your career. However, it will build character in you that sucking up can never give you. But if you let one of these members of management (who were too stupid to get a real job, which is pretty much all of them) screw you around, you will spend the rest of your working life bagging groceries. Never forget: The people that you work for in your store are there because they have very low I.Q's. They just do. Work towards a real job. And when you have kids one day, you won't have to tell them something shameful like "I work at a Grocery Store, kids."
Working for a Grocery store is about equal to that of a garbage man.
Dead Barney
P.S. Yes, I work for a Grocery Store. And I feel like a garbage man for it.
here in the atlanta area we have several managers that cover people that should be fired....managers know that some of our staff do things that if i should do or you do they would fire us within a heartbeat... how is that the managers can get away with this....is there anyone in the company that i can trust to tell these things to and something be done about it?? our managers or should i say our unit manager protects certain ones with anything that they do.....he is supposed to be real respected in the company...is that because he is an ass kisser or people just kiss his ass?????
Hi Grumpy and the rest of you let me let you in on a few things. I use my real name why? I dont fear anyone knowing what I have to say but what I do say is the truth. I have 17 years in the company made full time after my first 12 weeks (the way the contract was at the time). If you are liked by the department head and Manager you will go places even if you not as good as the average "Joe", kissing ass goes along way if god blessed you with that gift. One thing to remember in this comany and its what i came up with a long time ago " The Kroger company sees what it wants to see when it wants to see it!" For the training to be a department head this is one way of keeping good hard working employees from moving up in the comany. If you push hard enought they will send you to it but no matter how well you do in the traning they will make up something as to way they wont continue ut or wont let you advance. Im living proof of this. This isnt what true leadship is about, and alot of them need to learn what class is.

I do not fear the use of my name either. I have many times posted that I am the Market manager at kroger 488 in McKinney Texas . Dallas area of the SWKMA. Local 540 and Name is Randy Joe.
RIP Dead Barney. Your lazy ass whining attitude will get you in the end no matter if it is Kroger or the next job you have that you hate.
