I know I am. I work at a slow pace on purpose though. The pay is wack. when I stock sugar on the shelves a bag might have a small tear but I put It on the shelf anyway cause I know a customer will grab it and sugar will get all over them. Same thing kinda happend with a bag of cereal. Baler is always full I make sure I take my baskets back 3 mins before Im off and just leave them there. Sorry no time to make a bale gotta clock out! I also kick stuff u dear the shelves at times cause Im to lazy to pick it up but they installed metal runners now on all the shelves so you cant do that anymore. Bummer.

Oh boy you do the things I used to hate for people to do. I used to crawl on the floor with a broom to get things out under the shelves. You know it is a very nasty job doing all that because the broom get's dusty and then I would get dirty. Also the dust would bother my allergies I finally told them I could no longer do that because I was too old to crawl on the floor and it also bothered my allergies.
If I was still working there I would probably say a few things here you would not like. But I no longer work at Kroger so I really don't care. And as far as the runners we had those once in the Backroom in boxes and they suddenly disappeared just like the Canopy that was supposed to go at the dock where the compactor is it suddenly disappeared.
I think the runners got put on the salvage truck like the Canopy did but the Canopy was when the store opened in 2005. I got accused for it being lost the assistant Manager was a smoker and could not go out and smoke when it was raining. He blamed me until the Manager stood up and told him to stop. Then he found something else to blame me for.
He was a good Assistant his blaming was more like kidding but he let the Canopy go too far. He was one of the best Assistants Kroger had and was with Kroger a long time. Now he is gone R.I.P he is missed worked with him for years.

You forgot putting dented cans on the shelf instead of reclaim, taking re-shop damage back to front end instead of receiving, smoking in the empty trailers in receiving and throwing butts on floor, dragging a plastic bail into trailer that hasn't been tied properly, hiding RF handheld so you will have one the next day you work, taking an extra 5 minutes before and after actual break time, leaving store property on your 15 minute break, taking smoke breaks in addition to your regular breaks, sitting in your car on break and smoking a joint or drinking a beer, scanning out frozen pizzas under employee samples option then cooking them in bakery oven and leaving a mess for the bakery department to clean up and never paying for the food, taking gloves off shelf and using them at work but not scanning them out, then taking them home, crapping all over the toilet and toilet seat and not flushing when you are finished, peeing all over the floor in front of the urinal instead of in the urinal, throwing up in the bathroom sink then leaving it, eating part of a pie in the frozen food cooler then leaving the half eaten pie on top of the reclaim/damage for the frozen food lead to deal with, putting an entire pallet of ice cream in a dairy cooler 6 hours before the frozen food department comes in to start stocking it, leaving entire pallets of frozen food in receiving because all the freezers and coolers are full, leaving an outside frozen food trailer during the holidays wide open for hours on the back of the lot where it is pitch black dark and nobody back there working in it, leaving the back door of receiving wide open for hours on the night shift because manager didn't want to have to keep coming back to re unlock it.
I have seen every single one of these things at least once when I worked for Kroger. Glad I don't work there anymore.
While I don't condone these "lazy" behaviors, I can't blame those who are slackers. They're treated no worse and amazingly sometimes better than those of us who show up and actually do our job. The system is flawed.
The reward for hard work is more work and increased expectations, which could be workable if it led anywhere other than employee burnout.
In the meantime, your coworkers aren't being held to the same standard, are working less and not as hard, possibly get more hours, and make the same amount of money (or more) than you do.
It's not a path to promotion either. Only ass-kissing and/or sociopathy will help you there.
If anything, hard work is only likely to trap you in your position and your store since you may render yourself irreplaceable.
The other thing is that if you are within a dollar or two of minimum wage, how hard should you really be working anyways?
