It seems like whatever compensation may be owed to someone would come from the company, not the store level. I'm not sure that this is actually how it works though. Most of the injury lawsuits seem to be kept on the down low. Even the employees are quiet about what they've gotten
There was a customer who slipped on a grape at one of the old stores in my city a few years back. They sued and the store got shut down. I guess they have to scatter the employees to other stores when theirs gets shut down. And I'm also guessing this is "sweeps" are a mandatory thing that has to be done every 15 minutes. Sweeps as in bagger gets a broom and sweeps the whole store within 15 minutes or whatever. Another one does the same 15 minutes later. Etc, etc.
I thought if a store was named in a lawsuit that it was the *company* that was sued and not the individual store and that any settlement funds would come from Corporate

I can 100% believe that. When I was on the front end, one of the many tasks I performed over the years was utility and utility is supposed to do store sweeps, clean the restrooms, empty the trash cans, sweep outside, respond to calls for clean-ups, etc... only I RARELY had the chance to do even a FRACTION of that because of how cheap Kroger is with the hours on the front end. Seldom had enough cashiers scheduled to keep the lines down to 1 + 1. Typically didn't have enough courtesy clerks scheduled to bag at the registers AND keep the parking lot relatively clear of carts. Oh, we had plenty of people on the paper schedule... they just weren't getting many hours because Kroger would rather run the front end on a skeleton crew. So, that meant for HOURS on end, I was cashiering, bagging or getting carts RATHER than doing tasks I was supposed to be doing, like actual store sweeps.
It's amazing nothing (that I know of) happened at the time that I was at that store. Kroger LOVES to roll the dice and hope that a customer doesn't slip, fall and sue just so the company can continue to pocket some extra cash instead of properly staffing its stores for the SAFETY and SATISFACTION on its customers.
numerous times. It has insurance pay them off, probably in a settlement agreement.
Some fat ass fell off one of our mobility scooters and had her daughter calling for help. Ok, what do you want? A hand up? Want us to call you an ambulance? No? You're in pain. Your back side hurts. Mmm-hmm. So what do you Want me to DO? Cut your fat lazy ass a check right now? Cause that's not gonna happen.
My store was involved in a big lawsuit. Now they are shutting us down, we weren't making enough money anyway... i have a better job waiting on me.
if it was an employee lawsuit, I hope they feel good about what they did. Store maybe wasn't making money, but this lawsuit likely was the last straw
You are a ignorant, terrible person.
These "lawsuits", before being "lawsuits" were in fact, LAW. Meaning if the corporation, or store management, didn't break the law, there would be no lawsuit.
Your blaming the victim for being mistreated, injured, or killed, instead of the company that mistreated, injured, or killed the employee.
I feel deeply sorry for you if you continue with your views and hope you're the next one injured. That way you can show us your altruistic nature of not sueing multimillion dollar corporations.
I don't believe my words will get you to wise up, but a shelf collapsing or cutting off a finger might do it for you.
Rodney got a 25% bonus and this ******* over here bitching cause he feeks like work place safety neglect leading to injury shouldn't be compensated.
Man id say I hope your a felon and can't vote, but your at Kroger's so I'm sure your just on your 5th DUI

Yeah but think about all the people who were inconvenienced when that store closed because some jackass didn't perform his job correctly. Whether he was riding on a power jack, lifting without help from someone else, running ,etc. It doesn't matter--it's the employee in most cases who ****ed up.
