Our back room is a disaster. There is stuff piled everywhere. However, the shelves on the salesfloor are empty because the stock crew can't get the product out. So they're going to close the store from midnight one night to 7 AM the following day for a total of 31 hours in an effort to put things right...

So I found out today that soon our bakery pies will be coming in pre baked. This is NOT good at all. Sure right now so many bakery departments are understaffed I get that. This is a terrible solution. It will take hours away and make us nothing more than glorified stockers. Baking used to be a skill, we act...

People in our store are coming to work sick due to the 3 day rule that says you have to get a doctor's note to return to work if you are out 3 days or more. My manager is also sick too and went home early tonight. Why does Kroger do this? Many employees don't have the money for a doctor like me!!!

Would cuffed khaki pants be alright for a bagger or cart returner

Saw a post touting Walmart's new starting wage. First off why would the number one grocery chain, need to wait for massive tax cuts to pay their employees a half way decent wage? They make billions. Then to brag about it like it's an achievement? $11 an hour is not that much considering grocery chains we...

Can someone please explain exactly what is meant by the terms "PEYTON" and "SHELBYVILLE" when referring to trucks / shipments to Kroger departments??? Inquiring minds would like to know! I'm in the Louisville district. Are there other terms (city names??) used in other divisions?

It's getting annoying. We used to have a decent scheduler, then they gave it to someone else who doesn't know what they're doing and makes careless mistakes. It's not like we're understaffed either. Some days I can only work until 3 and I end up getting scheduled til 5, and they already have 4 other emp...

Clicklist associates, is your Clicklist dept understaffed? I work at a Kroger store and while our Clicklist has quite a few selectors we still have a hard time catching up on busy days and even not so busy days depending on how many selectors are scheduled that day. Selectors work past their shifts al...

Some Kroger employees need to work on race relations in the workplace. It hurt like hell to quit my job but my first several weeks in I was being accused of things I didn't do and didn't get an apology from those who accused me. Training was also lacking from my department supervisor. Not saying people...

So, I have been with Kroger nearly 3 years, two stores, and I have shopped probably 15 different stores in different districts. I have asked locally (Mid-Atlantic division) if anyone can tell me about how to get cultural councils started, but no one has resources. CSMs, ASPs, and the one manager that...

Because of the new tax cut package finally passed by Congress and approved by President Trump, the economy is expected to be BOOMING this coming year, and many companies are already raising wages and giving out bonuses to some (or all) of their employees. Walmart announced they are raising their s...

I am not alone at Kroger 540 in this situation that the Payroll HR lady keeps messing up the hours when she seems to keep keying in the hours incorrectly. I have heard from other employees in different departments going through the same thing. Either they are missing hours or when she so called "correct...

I just thought of a possible scam that may have been done on me. Say a customer buys some stuff at Uscan, then proceeds to pay. Maybe they manage to successfully get a couple dollar bills in there. Let's say they do, for this example. And the machine now reads that the amount inserted is $2.00. Now they ins...

I called HR about obtaining my w2's online. The representative said my user id would be my full social and the pin would be the last four digits of my user id and birth year. When that didn't work I did the opposite. That didn't work either. Frustrated.

Mr Frontenac

About 8 or so years ago, I was a cashier for two years in a completely different grocery chain that is not affiliated with Kroger. Could I have gotten experience pay for that or no?

Mr Frontenac

My first immediate question is this. If a coupon scans successfully without asking for a manager override, does that mean the coupon is valid for the order?

Mr Frontenac

End of shift, gotta shutdown Uscan. I'd like to know you guy's tips and techniques on shutting down Uscan when it's time to do so, and getting customers to go to the other checklanes (or in my store, the other open Uscans in addition to the cashier checklanes), without pissing customers off. Every so of...
