That's not as bad as what our produce department goes through. We are already SEVERELY understaffed yet front end morons w/ no regard for other departments will call up to 3 of our produce clerks to the front to bag to cashier during prime time. There are 100 customers in the produce department buying up everything and and we typically only have 3 people working sales floor from 2p-10p. That means, 1 person on the wet rack, 1 on the islands, and the other doing a combination of both. And front end has the nerve to call these people up front to bag while holes are appearing everywhere in the department. It literally kills me!
I think this is the Kroger business plan. Chaos and still we call it success anyway.
Yes, profit margins are small. To be successful, Kroger has to expect more for less to make a profit.
Maybe all the upper managers played too much Sims when they were kids. Manipulating bodies to make the circumstances to work. And, now they are transferring that experience to the real world. I used to hack the script to get more cash for stuff. But, that doesn't work in the real world...
What will happen when all the Grand Theft Auto or Call of Duty kids become managers!?!
I often wonder if we are just lab rats for someones' social experiment.
The DDP expectations are doable in a perfect scenario with perfect employees. But, as a department manager, most of my crew would paint themselves into a corner if asked to paint a floor. I am given no choice but to make the schedule work somehow.

So how could you post the above message if you're dead? Literally means word for word.
