I haven't had a seizure since last September. I've been able to control them pretty well. I had one today, at work. I got to work and 3 people start barking orders at me, talking over each other. Then bakery comes over and tells me about an order that was messed up. I'm trying to zone them all out so that I ca...

I talked to several customers and couldn't help them because we didn't have a specific brand product. Is there a way to order product through the gun? An example would be AtlantaFresh brand buttermilk.

So despite the fact that I've lurked here for a year being entertained by the "Kroger Sucks" stories, and can commiserate to a point, if I were to be perfectly honest, i love my job. No, I don't want to make a career out of being a Kroger cashier, and there's always going to be SOME bullcrap with any job. But...

Instead of showing it to you or even asking if they can scan it. I dunno about you, but it kind of makes me feel like chopped liver as a cashier and it's incredibly annoying when customers do that. Even had a couple other cashiers do it to me. Am I the only cashier who is bothered by that?

I wish Kroger would stop this. Free candy, free cookies, free fruit. Candy and cookies are not good for kids (in excess) so why should Kroger encourage this when they like to pretend they are so "hip" and up with the green/healthy lifestyles? The free fruit in Produce should be stopped!!!! Pieces o...

describe your work environment today. I think we're all feeling the blow of reduced hours so I imagine we should get some good responses. I'll start. 2 people on vacation this week and 1 of those people's hours just "went away." I'm not sure where they went, but I had to replace BOTH of those people on...

But I regret leaving the bakery for the deli I thought the bakery sucked but man man the bakery is a whole lot better than the deli these asshats always have me closing by myself because employees with more seniority don't want to close and I'm a nice guy so whenever someone is alone and the call on my day of...

I'm becoming very frustrated with a particular manager assistant front end manager at my store. She's profoundly unpleasant in a variety of ways, and now she's even started skipping breaks in order to keep Quevision up. What are some good ways to cause problems for her, but not for other managers? Si...

my whole life and i've always called them shopping carts, but since i've started working here, i've heard them called several different things. a lot of people call them buggys and baskets, and i've heard a few of the older employees call them bascarts. i'd like to add that i live in michigan, so maybe i...

At my store, somehow it's become the front end's job to fill them, and more specifically that of the courtesy clerks and SCO attendant. A vendor might fill Body Armor and some energy drinks, but not enough to matter. Grocery might fill milk and almond milk in the morning, but that's it. So, one Grab &a...

I was wondering how long should it take one person to break down 14+ skids in produce? I like to add the backroom/cooler is a bit clustered with product. Thanks for your time.

So we officially have removed our no call-no shower co-worker from our dept. And myself and a few others were given her hours. More money yes, but more closing time too. Yay.

i am a cashier with thirty years and today I was graded by a backup in the front office and they said that I did everything right except I did not educate customers. I have never heard of this. Has anybody ever heard of this? I wanted to laugh out loud but I knew better. I know this came from corporate they ca...

We have a self-serve bread slicer in our bakery department over by the artisan bread wall. You just put the bread in, close the lid and the bread comes out underneath. Somebody tried slicing a loaf of bread in the bag. There were shreds of plastic all tangled up in the blades. Did they really think...

Everytime they come to my line, they say absolutely nothing to me. Not a hi when I say hi, not a thank you when I say to them have a nice day. Just nothing. No eye contact either.
