I've been signing my pit inspections with Mickey Mouse and other celebrities' names. I figure that since our machines aren't working correctly and I was told that if we turn it in, they'll tag the machine out and take it away, so it's best that we just work with what we've got. I'm not going to sign my actual name to the inspection since the equipment isn't working correctly. If it fails, it's not going to be on my watch. My store can't afford to pay for repairs and whenever we do get repairs they aren't done worth a ****. Sure it works while the repairman is in the store, but as soon as he leaves, it's back to malfunctioning. What do you do with your ****ty equipment and why can't we get repairmen worth a **** today? It's annoying to use the machines that aren't working properly, but if we get down to 1 power jack, for instance, we'll lose a ton of time unloading trucks...it will take twice as long and that's time I can't be helping grocery.

Kroger in house maintenance sends invoices to stores so Kroger can monitor how much money it's "saving" by having its own maintenance crew. Unfortunately this incentives the maintenance crew to do shoddy work and be called multiple times.
So if slicer1 breaks
Maintenance shows up, claims it's fixed, leaves.
You log slicer1 again, now all the sudden, maintenance has been called for 2 slicers!!! So in corporates eye they fixed two items and saved money both times.
The maintenance crew in the corporate headquarters area has a pretty big racket going with self justification. I've seen the same saw repaired 14 times. They used cardboard. I have pictures.

Post em!
Yes our power jack does this thing where it stops at random times, if you're holding on tight, you'll jerk your arm, also imagine pulling a pallet of milk when the jack comes to a halt. It used to be that if the handle wasn't at a certain height, it would stop, but now it seems like it just does it whenever. It was "fixed" but then started doing the same thing the next day.

I'll post em before I go to work today. Bout a hour or so. Gotta make sure nothing identifying is in them. Corporate will know the location already, I made a big deal about it. But if they know what's good for them, they just shut up and let this forum with 8 people go before they Streisand it.
Mold in lights, exposed electric plugs, cardboard holding the saw together. Etc.
The lights are moldy. This is the least dirty of the 3. We were told it was our job to disassemble the light and electric to clean them. Mold is on the metal shielding, plastic cover, bulb and wiring leading into the ceiling.
The saw was a seized bolt. Replace the bolt, weld a piece of metal to lift the bolt without it moving, or replace the entire upper guide wheel. Easy. (still not fixed, single saw store, have to change blade between bone in and boneless).
The wall socket is ripped from a video. 3 months of repair calls, someone finally tried to cover it, obviously that caused bigger issues.
Just while im here, a guy i know cut off his little finger on a saw. The saw guide and pusher was broken and sticking so you had to jerk the product into the blade. almost 2 years of repair both with me in and out of that store. Guy ended up suing for medical bills and it took 5 years for kroger to settle out of court and pay his medical bills. Guy isnt suppose to mention the suit or what happened, but you kinda piece it together from statements here and there.
Apparently, the saw got shipped up north without repair to a new location after he took his finger off, or so the rumor goes.
Same store with those pictures has a massive bedbug infestation that is being hidden. Legally since they threw out just the soft furniture they are no responsible for any infestations as they "made a good faith effort". I use to strip naked inside my garage before bagging my clothes straight to the "sanitize" cycle on the washer.
I quit because i couldnt handle poisoning people. It was the single best decision i ever made in my life. Before quitting i was literally putting a gun up to my head and dry firing so i wouldn't hesitate when i finally got the courage to do it. 2 months after i quit, im normal and functional.
PIT "inspections" do not trigger maintenance calls. It's a superficial sign-off sham intended to comply with OSHA regulations. ("Let's don't and say we did.")
Electronics/handhelds are used in my location. Still a sham, but no way to forge "Micky Mantle" on that format.
Not even sure what a pit inspection is. I'm talking about purposefully calling to have Kroger. Maintenance come out for a repair order. The term pit is new to me. Towards the end we have to log saws as "clean" and "safe", if we didn't it would tell you to tag the saw out and call for repair, we had one saw. If we did that, store management come down, berate us for being babies, say there is nothing wrong with the equipment then threaten essentially targeted hostility, if we didn't just cut on it.

PITs are the power jacks and straddle stackers. You have to scan a barcode and test each function on the jack and tell the handheld whether or not that aspect is working correctly (forward/backward/up/down/horn). If you say "No" I believe it will throw a flag and have you tag out that piece of equipment, thus making you do the work with less equipment when you're already stretched to the bone to get anything done. I'm curious if they did haul the equipment off, if it would actually come back repaired and not "fixed" for 5 minutes like when they come repair it in the store. Our jack randomly stops if you don't hold the handle juuuuust right. It's a pain. They've come "fixed" it about 3 times in the last few weeks...this shouldn't be a several day job, should be one and done. I half want to call Crown and have them just come fix it. Kroger wouldn't want to spend the little extra to do that though, then their maintenance people couldn't come in 6 times to do the same thing and not solve the problem (thus costing more in the long run)

I left while this existed for the saws but not for the power Jacks, or the back door receiver was doing it.
That single saw with cardboard was the one we had. If you hit no you were suppose to tag it out and not use it. We were heavily coaxed and threatened into using it even with management knowing the problems.
I really hope they have to answer for this **** someday. They hurt alot of people.
