One of the four store managers, I think, dislikes my existence. I mean I don't know how else to put it. I've tried to say hello to him as I walk through the halls. When I've had to ask him necessary questions related to the job, he answers me with this look of disgust in his face. I can almost picture him wanti...

So my truck was broken into while on the clock working my night shift and they stole stereo equipment. The cameras had been conveniently shut down right after arrival at work that night, so there is no footage of the burglary. Called the company's insurance and they said I'm responsible for my own vehi...

This is a list of many common quirks and other questions I hear people ask all the time, including myself. Let this serve as a common thread to which anyone can add to and anyone can ask as well. Getting locked in at full time: Getting locked in at 40 hours per week is a good thing to do if you need more hours an...

This isn't a lesson on CAO, just an FYI. But for one thing the CAO layout will tend to change. But if you really want to learn CAO or you need to, talk with your grocery manager. They seem to be the most knowledgeable about CAO in the entire store. I mean they know just about everything if not everything abou...

Mr Frontenac

And how often do they acknowledge you? I've been practicing saying "have a nice day" to customers as they go outside and greeting people when I'm walking through the aisles. But I don't like that empty feeling I get when I'm not acknowledged. But on the other hand, I can kind of see why, I mean it feels ki...

I got my employee discount kroger card today. I registered it online. My manager said it is linked to my employee number. if I put in a phone number for an alternate ID on the kroger website is that going to erase my employee number from the card?

Preface: I have been working at Kroger in produce for 4 years at the time of writing this. (10/01/2017) Everyone thinks produce is an easy job, myself included before working here. You just stock produce, right? Wrong. There is a lot more to it than just that. It's certainly not the toughest job out the...

What is the attendance policy at Kroger ? Today I had a stomach virus that my kids had passed around to me a I called out. I have never called out before but managment insisted that I go see a doctor to have the absence excused because they needed crack down on attendance. He said when I came in we would have...

My store manager is a real ******* of a lady. Everytime I call in, I always call in more than enough hours in advance like today I called 6 hours in advance. I told her that my nose is running flipping snot and she said just take sinus medicine. Really? IT'S A FOUR HOUR SHIFT JUST FIND SOMEONE TO COVER IT. Eve...

Toward the end of the day on Homecoming Day, a couple families called the store floral department for last minute boutonnieres and corsages. Although I have only begun working at Kroger, it was rewarding that my manager had confidence in my ability to create these floral pieces to satisfy our custom...

I may have accidentally taken two photocopied coupons. I was checking the numbers (which were small print) but the customer was rushing me and being rude to me the whole time. Could I lose my job for this? They were $2 off coupons, if that matters.

The Caramel Apple Torte cake is finally back in the building!!! And yes I did buy one and it is chilling in my freezer!!!

Mr Frontenac

She forgot it, then came back an hour later looking for it. Does that happen often with any of you?

Mr Frontenac

According to those surveys. Now we're going to be pushed harder to be more friendly to people. Forced hellos to anyone within arm's length, telling them to take the survey on the receipt, blah blah blah.

Does anyone know if I can do anything about my unit manager? We're running a skeleton crew (can't keep anyone for more than a month), and it's turning out to be 10 hour nights minimum, which is fine most of the time, but times I want to follow my schedule due to plans, my manager loses his mind. I don't think...

Cause there's a couple at my store that do. I'm ****ing 30, and I pull my weight. I'm not lazy. But they find trivial stuff to pick on me with. "Did you put this here?" "Did you forget to do that?" Stuff that even the supervisors don't care about. And most times they talk about me in the third person, like as i...

She swiped her card on the pinpad, thinks she's paid. Comes to me saying that she didn't get a receipt. I'm like, no maam, you didn't pay. I tell her that she has to press the "card" button on the self checkout's screen to finish paying. I try to explain to her the pinpad is waiting for her response from the o...
