i began working at kroger in may of this year doing overnight stocking i'm the new guy i work pretty hard and fast as do the other guys in my crew all but this one guy let me tell you about him 60 something been with kroger 25 years (not a manger) VERY slow forces others to pick up the slack, rude to customers, steals items from store has been told by manger while watching the tape guess you get warnings stealing items from the store, touchs the female co workers in a inappropriate way,gets about a hour of overtime each night. i understand the way a union works but how much longer does kroger have to deal with this guy who is not worth his pay is there a age limit on stock crew???
I don't think age has any bearing on productivity. I'm mush older than the guys I stock with and I do very well, but I work smart, not hard. Your guy must be making production quota or he'd have been moved to another job, or let go.
not reports on him because everyone is just like this "well he is a old man he means no harm just the way he is" and btw i'm the 5th guy on a 4 person stock crew i have been getting 40 hours basicly every week with the 6th or 7th week i get a 32hr so i stay part-time tonight we have a 2,000 plus order for grocery ALONE!!!!!!!!
i have shown i'm a good fit shouldn't i get full time when they do something or move him to another store because i already do his job mine and help everyone else out?
We used to have a restaurant called the Radio Grill which eventually was converted to a Subway. There was a very old woman who worked there; very nice, always pleasant with her associates and customers.
But she was dim witted as HELL. You'd place an order, go away (and this was a fast food joint) ........come back with minor impatience FIFTEEN MINUTES later, "M'am, is my order ready?" She: "Oh, I'm sorry....what was it you wanted..?" We had to divert her into being a People Greeter. That lasted for about a year. She would be reading the Funnies while shop lifters were walking out past the blaring theft auto-sensors, with 52 " TVs. When she wasn't doing that, she was incontinent, and the reek of her urine would blast you in the face, if you had the misfortune of her pigeon holing you into one of her ceaseless conversations. About nothing at all.
Yeeeeeah.....She had to be retired.
On the other hand, we currently have another People Greeter; female, just turned NINETY FOUR. Drinks Jim Beam at home, smokes a carton of Phillies Cheroots cigarillos every four days, dumps down about a gallon of coffee ever day (I'M NOT EXAGGERATING ANY OF THIS), curses worse than any career soldier you've ever met. But: Over all, she does a great job! Never fails an exceeds on her yearly evals, NEVER calls off sick, always goes the extra mile....and her mind, wit and tongue are as sharp as razor.

Hahahaha! That's awesome. She's preserved by Jim Beam and cigarillos.
