A guy got drunk and left a blstering, profanity-laden voice mail on the district manager's phone. Hahahahaha. Left his full name, enunciated it and everything---stupid prick was so drunk he forgot all about having done it.
* Night cashier caught sleeping in grocery aisle.
* Customer complained that fuel clerk was asleep in kiosk.
* Night cashier constructed knife from box cutter blade and pen.
* Service desk employee was pocketing and then spending Russ bucks that other employees
legitimately earned.
An employee got fired for stealing cookies from the bakery. Bakery sometimes makes extra to sample out to employees and an employee came back and took one while no one was back there.
A Comanager tried firing a guy that had 40 Years with the company for stealing the corn on the cob that is thrown away. He got his job back after 2 weeks off and didn't take anymore corn scraps...
A month later, that co manager was fired. They took the toys/prizes home that were left over after Halloween party for the kids.

Karma does exist, people.
My two favorites from my store, was that a fellow fuel clerk (when I was one, now I work deli) left the entire kiosk unlocked and walked off early after two weeks of work. He was from Pakistan and he could not understand when the customer wanted cigarettes or gasoline. I was the one who had to send him to the manager's office the following day and he was confused and even said "I go to office later, I go to work now." After about three minutes of asking him to go to the office, he finally said "I go office now, but I be back." The guy who replaced him that night as closer, got fired several months later for spilling trash on the store floor, then having a swear-filled hissy fit when he was told by the night manager to clean it up. He even started screaming at customers and night grocery workers. I ended up covering his shift (opened and then closed the fuel center). I got a nice cheque for a greenhorn fuel clerk as a result!
Co-worker got fired for using coupons in the trash bin out back to get free or discounted items. Said tossed out gsrbage can be taken by anyone due to "possession is 9/10ths of the law" kroger didnt see it that way nor was having any of it, so bye bye.
1. Deli clerks fired for eating bakery sample cookies and putting icing on them. They were fired for theft for eating the icing, was seen as shrink.
2. Older Courtesy clerk was fired for coming into work on his day off drunk, and tried to start a fight with a fellow bagger, saying he was going to kick his ass, etc. He got his job back though because the union argued that he wasn't on the clock when it happened.
3. Backup deli manager fired for missing a temp log in the deli, she had the temps written on another piece of paper and wrote it in the log later after they'd already noticed the temp was missed.

can you get fired for using coupons that print out from the uscan that customers left behind?
whats the dumbest reason someone got fired in your store?
For doing her job. And by that, I mean refusing to do a copyrighted image on a cake for a customer. But at least she fought to get her job back and won.
The manager who pulled that stunt...they do realize that if you get busted for doing a copyrighted cake, you can be fired for that as well as face a $10,000 fine? It's no joke...

Yep. Because Kroger sees it as fraud. They say the coupon was given to the customer based on what they buy. Its not meant for us at all. Even if it would be useful.
Had a guy terminated because he decided to suppliment his pay buy creating a "recycle bin" for soda cans and plastic. He cashed in rhr cans/plastic qnd kept the cash.
Another guy decided to take cardboard bales to suppliment his check. So kroger decided to fire him

Interesting. What if you gave the coupons to other customers?
They trotted out a form for us to sign a while back. It said that coupons left behind are to be destroyed. I thought the language was a little strong, but whatever. I hate couponers and was already doing that at SCO, so I didn't have any issues with that one.
We lost an AFEM during a remodel. She was sneaking off to get banged by one of the construction workers, reportedly in his truck. She was a closing manager, so I don't see why she couldn't have waited an hour or less until closing time. Oh well, she was a bitch anyways.

Then i guess its ok, if they find them themselves and use them. Why? Because its for the customer. Unwanted coupons should be properly disposed of.
a very competent grocery clerk was fired from our store because she took 15 minutes overtime to finish a very big truck. she was given her job back, but quit presumably because she was fed up. sad

We had some fired for forging the temps on the temp logs. Management had already photo copied the sheet. The next day she came in and wrote temps on that sheet. She was fired immediately.
I know a former Walmart manager named Drew Heidemann in Decatur, Il. who got cut in a national round of management layoffs. Guy was and is a worthless sack of dog sh!t, so it was absolutely no loss to any one. Total pussy hound, he'll bang literally anything----I was always amazed he never got caught up in the 'Me Too'-er craze. Anyway:
After the layoff he ended up at another retailer, Farm & Fleet......where he lasted exactly one week before they iced him too, lol. He'd no sooner finished corporate training before he hit the sales floor and started panting and slobbering after every young female in the place. H.O. said 'Umm, yeeeeeeah.......our bad, you need to leave'.
It seems every man that comes in my store has to take a ****. Some man would not let tge utility clerk put paper In the dispenser. Then the dumb ass yelled there is no paper. UC saids you dumbass you Would not let me put it in there. Utility Clerk gets mad takes tge hose pipe and just sprays over the stall. Customer is now soak and wet. He tells tge manager what happened.

What? I dont speak nonsense talk. What are you trying to say?

Oh it was a major situation. To the point I think someone was personally trying to take resident loud mouth(the person it happened to) down. I'm not 100% on all the deets as they were trying to keep things hush-hush. But one of the co-managers I'm cool with told me that the lady kept demanding the image be used. Store management got involved and tried to get RLM to do it. She refused. It went up the chain and somebody Chrissy or Chrisley said she had to do it. She still refused. And so it was eventually passed down to the pastry chef. And I guess it came out that she took it cause she was moving. But yea it caused all kinds of crap in the bakery. I never even thought I would ever see 3 back up managers trying to work to replace RLM with all she does. And even the previous bakery back up manager stepped down and is replacing one of our bakers that is on maternity leave at the moment. So now there is a opening to filling that spot. But yea, in short it was a major hot mess.
No idea, but I can tell you the dumbest reason that someone did not get fired...
New-hire in produce:
Walks off constantly and disappears.
Wanders off and hangs out in the break room.
Wanders off and hangs out up front with the bag boys.
Takes 30 minutes to put twist tie labels on 16 pieces of Romaine lettuce.
Constantly abandons his cart on the sales floor and walks back to the prep room/cooler to ask a stupid question, like [holding a plumcot or something] asking me, "What's this? It looks weird" or pretending like he's looking for something for a customer but he only/just made it up so he can walk back and forth instead of working. He walks away from his cart on the sales floor every 5 minutes to go do something like this in the prep room.
Walks to the other side of the store and leans against the wall and texts on his phone.
Hides behind the salad cart and texts on his phone.
Puts out apples by carrying one apple box at a time to the sales floor...
Only does 2 carts and 2 salad carts in an 8-hour shift.
All of this and more goes on for about 3 months and no one will get rid of him.
Then one day I come in to work and they tell me that they are going to start watching us on the camera and timing us on how long it takes us to do each cart. That we are wasting too much time talking and helping customers... I just shrugged because, if they can't fire this lazy guy they aren't going to do anything to me.
Finally they got rid of him after they kept saying "this is his last week" but he kept showing up on the schedule for another month.
He works harder avoiding work than I do accomplishing it.
