Hey, I know, let's time our Clicklist employees, like 30 seconds per item, then put slow ass grandmas walking in front of them, then let's put shippers, like 5 or 6 of them down every ****ing aisle so no one can walk down them. And let's arrange all the departments where people can barely walk and have to stand on top of each other. Oh, and let's do that during Covid too when they should be standing 6ft apart, while simultaneously acting like we could get shut down if we don't obey social distancing and mask rules.
This will also naturally make our Clicklist employees and our customers natural enemies of one another, but we'll force our employees to be nice to the customers and answer their every question and fulfill their every desire. Yes, our work is done here. Muahahahaha!
Clicklist employees are timed?!? That is ridiculous!
Everything is timed at Kroger. Ever hear of ELMS? I don't know what the letters mean but it basically means that each task should take a certain amount of time. This information along with sales is used to determine how many hours a department gets. It doesn't work in the real world. It doesn't allow enough time for interuptions. It doesn't allow time to gather the materials you need. If you need hours for a holiday or a big sale, you have to earn those hours first. How can you earn hours for a big sale week if the big sale week is the week when you'll do the most business? We frequently have no hours during Thanksgiving week, but then we have too many hours the following week when they're not needed.
I felt this. The amount of shippers in isles now is INSANE. They have shippers at my store blocking off normal isle stock. Can't walk a pallet thru our store without knocking one of these over ugh
Yep, clicklist goal is 39 seconds an item. I can hit below that but many people especially the new ones can't, but the store is so insanely crowded that it is hard to even get through it in the middle of the day.

Shippers here at my store are everywhere, more than I have ever seen. The "aisle" between the meat and dairy bunkers and the end of the numbered aisles (toward the back of the store) where lots of customers normally walk is now crowded with gobs of shippers of every description plus TOO MANY SODAS and other crap........and you can just barely get through with a pallet. I feel crowded and jostled. I think Corporate has finally went totally insane. Don't they ever read the innumerable Customer comments about STUFF Like shippers and three-tier metal stands blocking the aisles at every turn??
I like shopping at Walmart and Meijer.............they (at least here in this area) have aisles that have very few shippers.........the aisles there are almost like skipping down the empty hallway in grade school while everyone else was in class! Plenty of room, as compared with Kroger anyway. And Aldi's is SMOOTH SAILING--------gobs of room to maneuver!!! Kroger needs to look at how they compare to other grocery stores when it comes to the roadblocks in our aisles.
" How can you earn hours for a big sale week if the big sale week is the week when you'll do the most business?"
I know, right? So, by their method, you actually earn the needed hours, AFTER they are needed.
Who ever makes some of these decisions in this company possess zero logic skills.
They also rearranged our - well, we'll just say this so I don't out myself - they rearranged an area of our store so that the stuff that not many people buy is in an area with lots of space, and the stuff that everyone buys is now in a small, cramped area where you can barely fit two buggies into, and Clicklist has to go into this area too and shop. So that we are all on top of each other.
But, meh. Wasting my breath. They do stupid stuff like this always.

Time to start adding random items to them as you walk by.
