We had a huge snowstorm here in Atlanta and my part of town got over 8 inches of snow. Many people were not able to come in on Sunday/Monday due to being stuck in their subdivisions. Publix made the decision to close between 7 and 8PM Sunday night. I was told the only way Kroger would close is if there was a co...

Last month, while I was doing Uscan, there was this couple checking out. As I'm walking around, like I always do, seeing if anybody needs help, the guy says to me, "why are you walking around like that? we're not stealing." This month, a guy was checking out, and I'm just walking around as usual. I'm not e...

Before you tell me to call and ask, I did. My question was not answered as they seemed to be in a rush. Do you pick up your check from the courtesy desk or the office?

I am a part timer, been for years. I'm finishing up school. Anyway, this 2018 open enrollment is the first time I do not have the option for medical insurance, just "ancillary insurance" which only includes dental and vision but not medical. Is it because I have been working less hours on average this p...

This incident happened last week when I was working at one of the express lanes. I scanned his groceries, and I let him know what his total was. Then he asked me if the shrimp and fish be bought was 25% off. So I pointed to the screen where the deduction was, and told him that yes, the shrimp and fish rung up as...

Is it reasonable to have an 1800-2000 truck thrown by 4 people and face the store all within 8 hours? We go hard, all of us. And always end up late. Well get in trouble if we don't stay and finish everything asked. Even if that means 55+ hours that week. ...I'm tired man. And we do stuff right. No cut corners,...

I've worked in my store for less than a year. Was promoted to Grocery backup last week. I'm the 5th one since I've started there. Our problem is we can get enough help. We have 4 to 5 people stocking. KMP nights are the worst. Absolute hell. And our backstock is out of control. Hard to do the job without...

Not 100% sure it's the reason why we don't have the Christmas songs playing on the radio. But last night when I was on til 9, they had the high school choir come in and do some Caroling in the Produce section. I believe even in of our store managers bought them hot chocolate from Starbucks after they had fin...

So this lady is there standing at the service desk, flagging me down, expecting service. Signs are clearly there saying the desk is closed. I tell her the desk is closed. She demands to see a manager saying there's always a manager around. Well unfortunately for her, all the front end managers and stor...

OK! So people are going to start getting wrote up for having to work overtime, because others aren't doing their jobs. Why? I don't have time to do others jobs and do mine. Why not write those up who aren't doing their jobs, or are showing up late, or calling in all the time. I had to work overtime because...

There's something seriously wrong with this company. I've worked here 6 months and now I've worked through a tropical depression and snow storm that has shut my city down. I work 20 minutes away and am expected to go on black ice for retail hours. Again in dangerous conditions. I nearly spun out 3 times...

Happened to me yesterday. All I did was help them out with a couple of produce items at the Uscan. They said thank you, followed up with a hug. He was with his brother. Maybe it was part of his culture, I dunno. But they were friendly and seemed very grateful I helped them. I just completely wasn't expectin...

Are we to be treated as a courtesy clerk because the budget apparently doesn't allow for more than two courtesy clerks? I don't mind bagging and getting carts, but it's hard to keep the restrooms clean and do my stuff while trying to do a job a courtesy clerk shoud be doing. I find myself being the only bag...

What's the average hourly wage for a produce backup manager? At my store I heard the front-end backups make $18 an hour and I want to know if it's about the same.

I have worked for Kroger for a year, today. I was told I had to work for Kroger for a year in order to put in my transfer. Things haven't changed. Promises haven't been kept by management. I'm still having issues with some of the people I work with. I told myself if things didn't change within the year I wa...
