It's time that you rethink your strategies. Your "Customer 1st" motto is a bunch of bunk. The shirts should read "Shareholders First--Customers Maybe".
You have taken the most simple of jobs...running a grocery store and turned it into an endless maze of paperwork and arbitrary numbers that make absolutely no sense. You penalize the hardest of workers while you pal up to the laziest SOB's on the planet. When did creating things like quevision, DDP, WDP, "Key Retailing" actually help the worker. It NEVER has. In my opinion, these items were created to give corporate jobs to someone's illigitimate nephew that couldn't pass a Rorschach test.
Your warehouses would be better off run by one-armed, blind monkeys rather than the illegal workers that you have now. Also, get truck drivers that aren't lazy and stupid. Stacking chemicals on top food should be grounds for immediate dismissal. Not wrapping the pallets correctly and cramming them in the truck sideways should also get your fired. As far as the truck drivers go. Some are decent, others are just too lazy to do a real job and too dumb for a sit down job and that's as close as they can get.
While you're at it, please stop practicing affirmative action, only hire workers that are qualified. 'Nuff said there.
Allow enough man hours to get the jobs done correctly...not just half-assed. But then the six figured f*cktards wouldn't get their bonuses. Take away all the bogus paperwork that you have all your workers do and let them get back to the basics. Providing groceries for the customers. Quit carrying 60 flavors of ice cream, 14 pack sizes of Charmin Ultra Strong, and don't forget having at least eight different sizes of Reeses Cups to choose, no wonder America is medicated, we can't pick out our own groceries. You might pay a decent wage to some people, but there is still a ton of nepotism and cronyism that is alive and well and is being watched by many. So when you have an exodus of good workers, don't say we didn't warn you.
I love how they give you such small shifts that you would only be able to get it all done if you ignored the customers, made no bales, didn't go up front, or take like a 1 minute water break to keep from losing your sanity.
I work at store 625, and associate called in yesterday and said they were sick and wouldn't be there today I am scheduled for today a 6 hr shift, so instead of letting me get the 2 extra hours which in no means give me overtime but an extra 14.80 in my pocket, they had the full time person come in to cover the shift at with overtime 23 per hr. So it will cost the store not only overtime hours against the hours they were allotted but and extra 184 dollars in pay not counting the fact the full time person gets holiday pay for a grand total wait for it, of 56 hrs. And people wonder why associates complain, Krogers is priceless
How rude .... I hope you know that you have hurt the upper mgmts' feelings by bringing up the facts . U even went so far as to question the intelligence and capabilities of the the third party whse stooges and gypsy truckers. And just where are they going to find enough of these one-armed blind monkeys to replace the all-stars they currently have? There are many layers of company lemmings at the general office that justify their jobs by creating and mandating all the programs and policies that u so rudely insulted... so if the frivolous paperwork and programs were kicked to the curb then where would all the pencil pushers and bean counters go? Answer me that Mr. Smarty Pants!!!
Don't bother the execs..they too busy creating a new t-shirt for us to wear and a new slogan like "Friendly and fresh" hahah...how many years did it take to come up with that trash?? Morons.

Years? You mean millenia? Lol. I just hope that the next t-shirt we have to wear doesn't include a quote with anything written in the 1st or 2nd person (I.E. "I/We", "You").
