A smile is NOT part of MY uniform!

Did anyone get the new dress guidelines? Here in the Atlanta division all we have to wear starting April 28 is the new Kroger apron. The blue shirts will no longer be required unless we want to wear them. Jeans will be OK, as well as solid color pants and blouses with "tasteful" patterns or solid colors. We had to sign a statement today saying we understood the new guidelines, although I wanted to cross out the "smile" statement and initial it (like I did with the "needs of the business" statement when I requested vacation-no one objected (surprisingly) when I did that.

 Along with your new aprons, did you also get the color brochure with a picture of an employee (in produce) on the front with glasses and a beard, smiling weirdly with an avocado in his hand?  And a woman (in the background of the picture) who certainly doesn't look happy to be shopping at Kroger?     Not sure if this same "introduction to the APRON era" brochure is being done across all divisions.

I don't smile at work & yes we have the aprons & had to sign paperwork.

Nobody cares.

Management doesn't care.

Customers don't care.

Management just wants shelves stocked & customers assisted when they need help.

Customers just want to get in, get their stuff & get out because they have better stuff to do.

A smile achieves none of that & that's why management & customers alike don't care if we smile one bit.

There are some really entitiled jerks that care if you're not smiling but most people dont care and neither does management. Some customers will even give weird looks if you smile at them.

 old news with the aprons. posted it months ago. just shut your fat ass mouth and do your job smile at the customers and help them find ANY item in the store and know where ALL items are at. ALSO know what all the sales are. Stop being a piss ass poor associate and VALUE US!. We help contribute to your tiny weekly check.

 Stop telling real people, with real jobs, what to do. You contribute to their weekly paycheck? With what? Your mother's money while you live in her basement? Don't even think about writing a comeback to this, because whatever you say cannot trump the fact that you come to this forum every hour of every day just to troll like an immature child. Truly pathetic.

J: Nobody cares how much you contribute to your local krogers, I could careless if you were even a veteran as either way youre a self centered *******. People dont smile since theyre miserable, we have to lie directly to customers faces each bloody day with the same expressionless response Have a good night/afternoon/morning sir/mam". We only work at krogers out of desperation for money.. were not your slaves, were not your friend, were not obligated to like you. 

Do everyone a favor and drop dead by a heart attack. You wont be missed, nobody cares about you..

 Exactly! You work at kroger cause youre a skill less soulless turd slave. Dont flatter yourself youre far beneath me to ever consider you a friend. But you are slave. You are there to satisfy ever single Man woman and child even a pet who walks through your stores doors. YOU better know your store inside out. And brush your ass and your teeth and smile at all of us who contribute to your tiny weekly check. You will VALUE US!!! Hopefully youll fall in the trash compactor and be crushed with the smelly FiLTH! Trust us youre just a fat pity slave who can be replaced EASY. Its sunday you better be full of smiles and VALUE all of US !!! Gonna have to suggest to your manager who owns you to give you a pay cut. Back down to 4.25

The "value me blah blah blah tiny paycheck" doesn't really seem to be an internally consistent way to troll.

I'd figure that if you were truly dedicated to trolling, you'd realize that the "value me" and the "tiny paycheck" parts don't really mesh together.

After all, if my paycheck is truly so tiny (and it is), how and why could I possibly value you?  I'm not even a shareholder.

These two approaches work better separately.

You could reasonably shame for a lack of customer service, sales knowledge, product knowledge, smiles, etc.  I know I'm severely lacking in all these aspects.  How couldn't I be?

If you're going to play up the whole "value me" part, you need to play up the part of a loyal but disappointed customer.

Get it together and try something new.  Put some effort into it instead of reposting something from last year.  The whole gay turd microwave value bestiality balloon thing is worn out.

What's stupid is how the night crew has to wear them too, even when the store is closed. Have been told that the division will be getting on the cameras to check for aprons. Like really, we're not even opened for business. I'm waiting for someone's apron to get stuck in a piece of power equipment or a baler. The worst part is the heart on the apron. I can tell you the customers I have don't care about 'uplifting' or 'human spirit'. Reminds me of what happened during the huddle the other day. I'm working, got a group in the huddle, lady walks up to me and remarks that "must be nice to be paid to stand around in a circle instead of help customers". But I think what really happened is Kroger hired someone from Home Depot to make these policies because they also do a huddle and they wear aprons with a relaxed dress code.

Good luck staying dry the next thunderstorm, jackass.

The WORST part is that "fell good message" inside the apron-I am taking a pen or black magic marker and crossing it out!

That came from my former store manager who is now on the district staff. DM personally will be logging in to cameras to check for the policy. Store Managers are being told to check cameras also. GO staff will be going around to stores checking for the uniforms in the coming month.

 I did one better.  I took a small pair of scissors and cut the stitches and ripped mine out.  The problem with using a marker is it can wash out and possibly stain your other clothes when you do laundry.

 Go into your local hobby store and head for the model vehicle section. Get a black paint marker. That stuff will never wash out.
