why do they keep hiring more cashiers when the ones they already have are all starving for more than 15 hrs a week? I know 3 that have total availability too, so it doesn't make sense and this isn't rhetorical, I'm really cutious
I often wonder that myself. What kills me is the baggers that have 25 hrs a week. I was hired on minimum wage as a cashier so they're making more a week than I am wtf?
There's no rhyme or reason for the things this company does. Oh sure, they have a plan, but most times don't follow thru. THEY ARE IDIOTS. And that's pretty much all that can be said. They do have a quota 70% part-time, and 30% full time employees that's pretty much a constant, and people have a hard time relocating because of it.
I wonder this same thing. Kroger tries to save money by not hiring new people. When they hire new people, they never schedule the people they already have because the new kids need hours. I really don't understand it.
It's simple. New hires make less per hour than people who have been there 6 months or longer. So they can get the same amount of work for less money. Even if it's only a 10 cents per hour difference it can add up when you multiply that by the hundreds of employess in all the Kroger stores in any one division.

less quality and more often than not less work as all the important stuff falls on the ones that have been there the longest and if there is not an employee that does it it falls on the supervisor. If that doesn't work then it falls to the head of the front end.... but they can't do anything because they don't work evenings where all the problems lie....
if you press the kids on the front end too hard they will just quit on you leaving eveyone in a bind.
it's a lose-lose unless you're hiring holiday help. in which case they are all just let go after their 45 days anyway unless they do a REALLY good job.

It maximizes scheduling flexibility for them, and makes it more difficult for anyone to attain full time status.
Why run the risk of anyone attaining full time if all it takes to stop it is hiring a few more people?

So? They still get to pay the new people less, and don't have to pay anyone else any more to make up for lost productivity. Even when the new person is busy ****ing up, they can just open another register and call someone from the deli.
