I work with 2 in my department that have ghost quit and it's super frustrating. It should not take checks from the office to make sure staff is working to get write ups. It should not take 2 yrs to fire someone who practices this because of union protection. Our floral lead has pretty much given up on her d...

Use your best judgement when voting but I highly urge people to vote no on the contract. Just because they reach a tentative agreement does not mean it is a good contract. I heard they're only giving us a $2 pay raise each year and it's not keeping up with inflation. Despite some additional language in th...

Have you ever rung up a bunch of items and then walked off and left them because the machine kept saying to scan the item before placing it in the bag even though you had? I did today. If it does it more than once, the attendant has to come fix it. I've always said one of these days I'm just walk off and leave it....

Many have reported issues with their schedules being modified left and right with little to no notice of the change. My union rep confirmed that this is a grievance. Due to the fact they can not use the schedule to reprimand you in such a manner. Coupled with the fact it says right in the contract they mus...

The past 3 years has been a game changer for both the company and how they perceive their employees. I decided this company was not for me and it be time for change. All the harassment I've endured from my manager the past year, ethics only slapping him on the wrist with a write up and things still unchang...

Hello, it has come to my attention lately that some stores (such as large home improvement stores) have been more and more lenient lately on allowing their customers to come in and shop with their dogs on leashes. And, just within the last month or two, I have seen several customers come into the Kroge...

Kroger must have a Grand Re-Opening going on somewhere all the time. It wouldn't be so pathetic if it was an actual re-opening. Leaving the store open the entire time during the remodel and then opening up one morning after the store has been closed overnight like normal and calling it a Grand Re-Openi...

Here's a cool idea to stick it to Kroger for cutting hours in stores leaving them short staffed. Everyone just don't spend your Kroger paycheck at Kroger. They will still make money from regular customers. They can afford to fire or lay anyone off since their profits and bonuses depend on customer...

You use to have the chracter generation a lot longer. Some time in the last few months you reduced it to 30 seconds. It takes 1-2 min to write a post unless you copy paste. Then you have to fight with the generation to generate a valid one before you can f'n post. Please go back to the longer time frame. Thank...

I'd log into esced and every day my schedule would be different. It got so bad I followed the first printed paper schedule. I'd log in and find they'd shave off hours or add on hours, or find shifts added/moved or completely different. At first this was infuriatingly frustrating it crossed a line when t...

If you wanted more hours as you so said you wanted -- you needed to get cashier trained for your role. Guess what dumb ass you got what you exactly signed up for. Now you're being called up left and right due to lack of staff and the practice of relying on side staff for line relief. I'm laughing my aff off bec...

We recently hired a new bagger on the front end a few months ago and they've been a constant problem ever since. First, some background on this person. They're sixteen. They're home-schooled. And this is their first job. The problems they're causing are that they constantly call out and/or show up la...
