Kroger Employee Forum

I'm a new hire and had never worked in retail before (worked in fast food for about a year). I guess I'm too trusting because I got check scammed the other day. The people who scammed me had shopped here not even two days ago so I thought I had no reason to be suspicious. Will definitely be more aware now. I'm...

So got into work the other day in the deli. And was helping a couple of customers after giving my usual hellos to everybody. And then out of the blue my DH, whom has said hello to about everyone else but myself(guess he was still fuming about me forgetting the doughnut case of late). So I thought nothing of...

Basically a camera pointed at them with a small monitor displaying their face, pretty much saying "Hey... we've got our eyes on you..." I went to shop at another Kroger and their Uscans had these. It made me laugh a bit.

Several times a week my bakery manager would come in at 7:00 AM and wonder if the night people were baking the correct amount of cookies on the CAP sheet. It turns out that they were. However, the Click List people were grabbing ten to twenty packages of them to hand out to their customers. You don't do...

Think a manager did this to me, so I wouldn't ask more questions.

I was recently told by a supervisor that gift cards have to be separated from the rest of the groceries. I honestly forgot what she said , something about it being the holidays and if the two are rung up together , the total ends up being 0. I dont know something like that. Just curious as to whether it is li...

I ordered 25 cases of sweet potatoes tomorrow. We already have 10 cases in back stock and the shelves are full. At first I thought we would be able to sell through all of this, even after checking the POP projections. I ran out of sweet potatoes during Thanksgiving week so this time I bumped the order up an...

Probably should have asked this a long time ago. But apparently I thought I was doing it "right" but I guess not. In regards to taking your 15 min breaks. I know that it says in the handbook that you can't do it until you have been on for 2 hours. Does that mean 2 hours since you clocked in. Or does that mean if y...

One of my regular customers was chatting me up about what if I go to school or not. I told him I'm 30 and that I want to go to school to get a degree in computer science. He said I'm too old for that.

Okay so I was suspended on my first no call no show/ the only day of work I have properly missed since I was hired 3 years ago and when I asked why I wasn't getting a write up instead they said they were following the handbook (which they conviently didn't have when I asked) and I've never heard of this happen...

I asked for 3 days off in a row(for a real reason) and 2 of them are approved and 1 is 'processing'. What does processing mean? And, does a computer make part time schedules? Or does a real employee?

I have extreme anxiety and panic disorder, and since my first day Iv been having panic attacks before, during, and after both shifts. The manager even allowed me to leave an hour early my fi...

Clicklist specific rant: On Sunday, I took a phone call and this guy was wondering why there was such a "huge" discrepancy between his finalized total [about $115] and his estimated total [$104 or $105] and I looked through his order and he had a few weighted things from the meat department. Also,...

Mr Frontenac

And after you did, were you satisfied that they learned everything that you tried to teach them? In my case, I had to train a new cashier. Not exactly sure if I gave them too much information all at once or not the right kind of information. I'm getting this strange feeling of wanting to see how they progre...

Mr Frontenac

I know there's a sticky thread above, but I'd like to know of any other tips that aren't listed above.
