I am a kroger employee and i have been letting my parents use my employee discount card! I do not live with my parents and i do not drive so i let them use my fuel points! I was just wondering if this would be considered okay or if i shouldn't let them use my card?
The discounts are for you and you alone, as an employee. Your card is yours and is recognized as an employee card. Letting others use it is considered theft. I've seen people fired over this. It was explained to me that your card is to be used by you only, no one else, not even family or anyone in your household.
I used to let my family members use the fuel points, as long as I'm present with my card. They'd go to waste anyways. Outside of that, nope. It's mine.

When I started with Kroger, my wife was working there and I was told not even to let her use it - she was to use only hers and I was to use only mine. They actually fired two people for letting family use their cards.
It's my understanding that only family members that live in your household can use your card and only if, there card is linked to yours.
My husband and I both work for a division of Kroger and our , if they still live with them.cards are linked together. I work at the service desk and routinely link employee cards, most commonly to their parents cards, if they live in the same household.
My mom and I both work at Krogers, and we both use the same card. (She lost hers, so I gave her my extra.) We don't live together though. No one's ever told me anything about it.
my HR and managers encourage family use. NO one ever gets fired from kroger unless they steal actual product so i have no idea what those people are talking about.
The King Soopers employee handbook says that you can lend your card to immediate family or dependents, as I recall. You can't just give it out, but there is a bit of leeway.

All I know is that people in my store got fired for letting family use their plus card. They considered it theft because the discount is for the employee only, and the non-employee using the card get a discount that wasn't rightfully theirs.
It doesn't hurt to ask to avoid getting in trouble. In our stores, only our immediate family can use the discount, not your friends etc. I was accumulating so many fuel points for some weird reason and my card was being used at multiple stores, so I asked my mom and she said she gave my alternate ID to like 10 of her co-workers at her job. Thanks mom, for giving out my phone number to random people WITHOUT ASKING ME FIRST! I had to change my alternate ID.
