Atlanta is expected to get a major winter storm this weekend. What is the policy (if any) on store closures/closing early? I was told if I couldn't come in due to weather conditions to just call out and let the manager on duty know. But we are already understaffed and many of our employees take the bus and don't own cars.
I can't remember a time when our Kroger ever shut during a snow storm unless there was a power outage, and even then employees who were scheduled were still expected to come in to help transfer perishables to somewhere cold. I would just call in sick personally. If you say you can't get there due to the storm there's always the chance someone will say "I can come pick you up" or the manager will say "Yeah well your coworker has a 20 mile commute and they still managed to come in why can't you?"
just call in if the weather is bad enough. the managers might get pissy at you for missing, but that's the way the cookie crumbles. you are not their slave and can choose to miss work if you want, and don't worry about them being understaffed; kroger is the king of being understaffed and they'll certainly pick people away from other departments to fill in if they're that desperate!
They still want us to come in. It is freezing over at my house. I don't want to wreck my only vehicle come tomorrow morning.
You need to learn how to drive on snow and ice. If it's slick, slow down to a point where you can drive without sliding, even if it's less than 10 mph. When approaching a stop, take your foot off the accelerator, and coast to the stop before putting on the brake. If your car doesn't have anti-lock brakes, put the car in neutral before applying the brake to keep from skidding. Watch where you're going and take it slow and steady.

The people up north aren't any better. You turn on the news and they slide off the road or into other cars just as much as people in the south.
It's not our fault we don't get snow in the South hardly ever. So no We are not prepared because it's a rare event. Doesn't make us "b*****". I'm guessing you're close to high school age given your language?
My safety is MORE important than coming in to transfer perishables to a cold area if there is a power outage. I'm NOT risking MY safety just for some lousy perishables.
