If you are scheduled 8:30 hours you can skip the lunch break and leave after 8 hours. Lunch breaks are built into full shifts that's why full time employees are scheduled 8:30 hours but only get paid for 40 since lunch breaks are not paid.

Wrong.

Skipping lunch and leaving 30 minutes early must be approved by the store manager. Otherwise, it is considered job abandonment.

Each store manager is different.

 True. Some store managers care and some don't. Just ask. But for a regular joe, not a department head or CLOSER, leaving 30 mins early and not taking a lunch is pretty okay.

 

I never have time to take a lunch anyway.

 It depends.  Most managers say no except under special circumstances.  If you leave at 2:00 and your relief doesn't come in until 2:30, then your department is going to be shorthanded for half hour.  That will be right around the time you get a bunch of customers.

In our store you can as long as you inform a manager-they get nervous about this and they joke around "as long as you dpn't call the union!" They are scared someone will come back at them saying they were denied a lunch break!

Yes, this can be done if the store management approves it.  They tend to hesitate it due to government laws.  You would have to fill out a store over ride which can be provided by management. 

By law if Kroger denies an employee a lunch, this is a $1,000 fine.  This law was made to ensure employees would honor the lunch break.  The store would also be audited if it's a repetitious nature.
