Yes, we got a beautiful Christmas card, plus a candy cane.

We got a coupon for discount on a ham. That shows how much Kroger appreciates hard work.

Only a holiday mug, they passed out at the Christmas bowling party. But that was more or less from the Promise team, which in turn was from us for paying to wear casual clothes every Thursday for 2 bucks. So in a word, nada from store management. Even the DH didn't do any of the candy sleighs or candy holder containers he did last year.

OP here. I've worked in retail in the past and got dick for any kind of holliday presents. I'm currently working in a factory making the biggerst $$ and benefits of my life; our Christmas treat was a catered in dinner for all three shifts. Not a big deal, but we get paid straight time if we're not scheduled on a holliday----and TRIPLE TIME for Christmas and New Year's eve and days.

Hell no, we didn't get a christmas present.

We don't even get a Christmas party anymore. Not that it matters since I never went because the district would make you pay for a ticket. Guess I wasn't in the minority since my district doesn't bother with a party nowadays.

The other day there was a bunch of people from corporate in Santa hats and Christmas sweaters walking around handing out these dinky little candy canes, though... so I guess that counts as a Christmas "present".

Our Christmas bonus/gift was 'No one can leave until ALL go backs are done. Well, we tossed them on random places on the shelves. (No one said they had to be in the correct place) we'll deal with it next business day.

Ohhhhh, I used to get creative at that sh!t biggrin .... Doggie biscuits mixed in with frozed dinners, ice cream stuck behind detergent jugs, detergent jugs with the caps completely unscrewed and b a r e l y sitting on the edge of the side counter, hehehehehehee

I bought some candy and a card for everyone in my department and the deli. Nothing from corporate of course.

Believe me---every little bit of generosity has further reaching consequences than we even know ~

we got a coupon for free private selection cookies (about a $2.50 value). So generous of kroger, since they aren't making money these days.

They don't even bother with the token candy bar anymore . . .

Yeah, I got that coupon for the free cookies. THEN, a few days went by, I forgot about using it, and later I realized the coupon had expired on December 31, 2018. So here it is 2019, and I was too late to use it! Oh well........
