You know what really upsets me is when I'm in the restroom at work conducing my business is when I get paged. That really pisses me off! I can be working all day without getting a page but it never fails as soon as I go to the restroom I get paged. Now whats up with that? I mean come on this is nuts!
Yea dude i know what you mean! you need to just go postal on the person who pages you next time. it is all a conspiracy against you. they are watching you closely and deliberately wait till you go take a big fat healthy then they page you. its one way they are going to do mind****s with you man! and see its working... it "pisses you off' '

If i have to go i'm not going to wait for your or anyone elses approval before going. I'm not in grade school anymore and nor am i a dog. I will however ask someone to take over for me, if they can, if i'm doing something that needs to be done. I've seen cashiers crying "I need to use the bathroom" and just stand there holding it. It's quite sad to see a 40yo women waiting to ask a supervisor to go to the restroom.
if you'd like to get technical, Mr. Anon, breaks are given ON KROGER TIME as well so you're still "on their time" while using the restroom on a break and I would rather spend that time getting something to eat or drink, and resting my feet than using the restroom.
back on topic: Yeah it's pretty annoying to be called to the front when you're in the restroom. Just ignore it and if they ask just tell them you were helping a customer. lol.

Are you serious? I understand that when you got to go, you got to go but you sorta need to ask first. Any manager with any decency would say go ahead.
I have all types of people under me in my department - young kids to older ladies. They need to pee more than my damn dog. Its really incredible quite honestly the amount of times they gotta go. They always come to me and ask if they can. i gotta effeciently run the department. i can not have 2 or 3 people go pee at the same time! sometimes unfortunately Joe Junior might have to squeeze it in for a couple more minutes

I'm not going to take sides in this thread, but I gotta say: it's more than a little ridiculous. WE ARE GROWN. Yep, breaks are often too far apart to expect peeps to hold it, and YEP, if I got somebody who is clearly abusing what is other wise a God given right, well then of course I'm gonna have to pull them aside for a chit chat.
Breaks are not too far apart. I actually think Kroger should subtract money each time you go outside of your break. You are basically stealing from Kroger when you are taking extra breaks.

You missed the part where i said "I will however ask someone to take over for me, if they can, if i'm doing something that needs to be done." and you don't honestly think I would just drop everything I was doing just to go, right? I'm not gonna be helping a customer and then suddenly tell them "sorry i have to go piss" or anything like that. I have respect and restraint.
I'm gonna go regardless. Asking isn't really something i'd do for a restroom break. I would probably phrase it more like "Back in 5, going to the restroom." or "Time for a bathroom check!". I did, however, have a supervisor tell me "It's already been done" to which i responded "gotta pee" and gave them a smile.
The only time I would go to the restroom without telling someone, if anyone is around to tell, would be if I were doing cart management or trash or something.
You're also not my guardian and I'm not one of those people that need to be monitored 24/7 to make sure their work gets done. You'd have to know me to understand, I guess. :P

You will never have to ASK me if you can go to the restroom and if I'm not supervising I'm damn sure not asking anyone if I can go either. All I ask is for you to yell at me and let me know when you're leaving my front end so I'm not looking around or PAGING you! Just say, "Hey O'boro! Running to the restroom!" and I'm good to go. I think it's rather demeaning for anyone old enough to have a job to have to ask to go tinkle!

yea this is starting to be (or already has become) a pretty rediculous thread. i personally could care less if some one below me needs to do a #2. Go... damn it. All I was trying to say is - the polite thing to do is let somebody know (preferably the MOD). Thats all. I'm sure not the Potty Nazi or the Hall Monitor LOL
Luv Ya all! and sorry if i pissed in your wheaties

If you're on the front end or in a service department, then it's kind of important to make sure someone knows you're going. But, if you're in another department such as Dairy or GM or something there should be no problem with you going without asking. We're all adults here, and if you gotta go you gotta go. It's not grade school. You don't have to go get your agenda signed by the manager to take a 5 minute piss break.
Breaks are not too far apart. I actually think Kroger should subtract money each time you go outside of your break. You are basically stealing from Kroger when you are taking extra breaks.
Well if they did that, we could all just pee and take dumps on the floor. :P Then you wouldn't have to steal time from Kroger or have your money cut. Heck, if you're with a customer, you can just pull down your pants and keep checking them out/cutting their meat/finding something for them.
Why do I keep thinking of that commercial for bladder control medicine...The one that goes "Gotta go...Gotta go...Gotta go right now"???
Why would you need all these different medicines if this wasn't a big problem with a lot of people?
But, I digress...Maybe they should lock the bathrooms, and then, you've got to ask for a key in order to use them...Maybe get a hall pass? Why not just install an outhouse or a port-a-potty in the ******* parking lot, for pete's sake?!!
Or just put a sign out that says "KROGER...IT'S LIKE HIGH SCHOOL FOR GROWN-UPS!!!"
Sorry for venting, but every once in a while, you've got to let it out...

i work in a dept where u can pretty much walk off to break or to poop whenever you feel the urge, i'm hoping i can get transferred to another dept sometime though. sorry to tell them but i won't be asking to go take a dump, if i were checking, I'd say "please hold on a moment" then just walk off, SOMEBODY will come take over, i'm not being ****y, but i'm also not going to hold it when there's a perfectly good csm up there who can come check. As for breaks, psssht they ain't gonna be tellin me when i can or can't take a break, if I get hungry, i'm either going to break right then or you'll find me with a snickers bar and a gatorade while on the checklane.
