What would happen if I put my availability on eSchedule to "unavailable" for all days of the week, and then check the box that says permanent? I'm trying to find a way to quit, and yes I know it would be easier to tell management, but this seems like the easiest and fastest way personally. I have a new job lined up and I don't want them to intersect in any way.

REALLY? You think this is the easiest way? I think it's easier to just key your resignation letter on to your manager's car.
As mean-mug but funny ass pranks go, I think it's brilliant! Wish I could see the manager's face as he's going ¨What the...fuhhh....I don't even know....WHAAAAA?!¨
Just do the right thing and put in at least one weeks notice, preferably two. Otherwise you just f*ck over everyone else.
This is why I gave a two weeks notice. It wasn't for management...it was for my fellow coworkers! We've had someone just up and quit one day, and everyone had to scramble to cover the guy's shift. And then of course if they can't fill all of the shifts, then you're overworked with too many customers and not enough people working.

I would turn in a resignation letter, but please go ahead and do it on the eschedule too. Good idea.
"Just do the right thing and put in at least one weeks notice, preferably two. Otherwise you just f*ck over everyone else"
I had a coworker leave a few months ago, did the whole 2 weeks things just so you know, he didn't " f*ck over everyone else". Gets to the 2nd week, just a few days left, manager comes around to people "you know anyone who could take X's spot?"
so in the end, coworker didn't f*ck over anyone ... it was just management who f*ck over everyone by not even attempting to hire anyone until the last second! What ended up happening was they had to take one of our crew (short handing us) and have them work in the department where the coworker left until they finally got around to hiring someone .. which i think was like 3 weeks later or so?
In hindsight I would have just told the guy, "hey might as well go ahead and leave and enjoy some time off, we're going to get screwed anyways"
Our manager takes every two week notice personally for some reason. And then he tells the people quitting"you know what, don't even bother coming in again." Okay..??

Not OK: immature, unprofessional, rude, and stupid. He's punishing people for doing the right thing.
For folks resigning from that store, addressing the letter to the district manager might be better since the store director isn't willing to behave appropriately.

I put in a one-week notice. I would've given two, but I knew that there would be no way that they would hire anyone to take my spot, especially since they didn't for the other 2 who left before me.
In a perfect world, Kroger would look into their applicants, push them in as quickly as they can, get them trained and on the floor before the person they're supposed to replace leaves.
I never put a notice in, but that was mostly because I had a bi-tch of a manager who basically refused to work around my calling out a day.
I just waited for vacation pay check, it came, that was it. Technically I still work for them since they never sent a separation notice and I never put my notice in.
They send separation notices? Because I didn't get one either. lol
So maybe this is something that happens with that? We've had a few people that quit/fired but they are still on the paper schedules listed as unavailable. One person was on there for like 5 weeks before she was removed. I noticed because she was right before my name and since my co-manager likes to pencil in edited schedules, we have to check it every day.
Was this my co-manager's way of not having to hire someone because on paper he had the "full" count?
Actually, from what I heard, they keep people who quit/fired on the schedule for at least 2 weeks for payroll purposes. And yeah, I remember getting penciled in one time, and she was lucky that I looked, because I wouldn't have showed up to work that day.
