I work at the Kroger in Marion, ILL not in the front-end dep't but have heard some unsettling things about the manager. What I gather from the front-end employees is that she has always been a tyrant, but her recent escapades seem to go too far. A month or two ago a cashier who the manager doesn't get along with needed to go to the restroom. So the cashier goes but the manager follows her into the restroom and stands outside the stall the entire time she is using the toilet in an effort to make sure she is actually using the toilet and not wasting too much time. Naturally the cashier was upset by the stunt, it is pretty creepy that she would do such a thing. So the cashier went to the union and/or human resources about it and the front end manager got in trouble over it. NO one is sure how much trouble she got into over it, but she was pretty steamed over getting in trouble. So now she has ordered that all front-end employees need to have permission from her or the front-end supervision before going to the restroom. It is one thing to inform somebody in charge that you need to use the restroom so they know where you are at, but it's another thing entirely to have to ask permission to use the toilet. To me it seems petty, childish, and humiliating. Does anyone think this is crazy or no big deal????????
That is, indeed, going too far. I had a similar thing happen recently with the head pharmacist wanting the techs to sign in and out every time they used the potty. I'm a steward and I made him stop the practice.
She's insane. People are not dogs they don't need someones consent to use the restroom. I'd have asked if they wanted to join me and hold my hand, make sure i didn't fall in, and wipe my ass for my when i'm done.
But in a dick.

I agree with everything that BagBoy said. I even put Toilet breaks on my Key Retailing Team Stocking sheets. I think that Kroger allows 5 minutes for a quick piss. If you are over 50 they allow 10 minutes for an enlarged prostrate. Maybe 10 or 15 minutes for an average ****. If you would happen to have to take a large dump you might be able to get away with 16 minutes. Don't laugh because I heard that this is included in Key Retailing Wave 6.
I would have knocked her on her ass....and then wrote down the the time it took for the stupid pointless waste of time tsg and tell everyone i was "EXCITED''....all yall so.ill peeps know what im talkin bout.
