This isn't a lesson on CAO, just an FYI. But for one thing the CAO layout will tend to change. But if you really want to learn CAO or you need to, talk with your grocery manager. They seem to be the most knowledgeable about CAO in the entire store. I mean they know just about everything if not everything abou...

Toward the end of the day on Homecoming Day, a couple families called the store floral department for last minute boutonnieres and corsages. Although I have only begun working at Kroger, it was rewarding that my manager had confidence in my ability to create these floral pieces to satisfy our custom...

Kroger recently notified participants in their employee 401K plan of changes to the investment options for the plan offered by Merrill Lynch, which was purchased by Bank of America during the last financial meltdown (BOA was forced by the US government) to keep it out of bancruptcy. The plan, whic...

According to those surveys. Now we're going to be pushed harder to be more friendly to people. Forced hellos to anyone within arm's length, telling them to take the survey on the receipt, blah blah blah.

Does anyone know if I can do anything about my unit manager? We're running a skeleton crew (can't keep anyone for more than a month), and it's turning out to be 10 hour nights minimum, which is fine most of the time, but times I want to follow my schedule due to plans, my manager loses his mind. I don't think...

Full timer here, been hearing rumors about being demoted and tranfered from other co-workers and been personally told by a friend right after they talked to the store manager about me being demoted and tranfered. But I haven't been told anything? All I did was tell the manager I was gonna call the unio...

Hello everyone, I was recently signed up to be a utility clerk by my customer service manager without being asked. I'm normally a courtesy clerk and have been for as long as I have worked there. However, I prefer not to be in utilities but I'm not sure if I should talk to my CSM about that. She said she was so...

She swiped her card on the pinpad, thinks she's paid. Comes to me saying that she didn't get a receipt. I'm like, no maam, you didn't pay. I tell her that she has to press the "card" button on the self checkout's screen to finish paying. I try to explain to her the pinpad is waiting for her response from the o...

Have you folks ever had occurrences where you find yourself bumping into the same person at work... no matter which corner you turned, no matter which hallway you walk down, no matter how random of a time you go to bail your cardboard or go pee, etc? I swear this keeps happening to me at my job. Especially...

Mr Frontenac

Do they say "hi" and "thank you" to you? Do they treat you like any other customer? Do they give you eye contact and acknowledge your existence? I've noticed at my store, all the managers never go to a cashier's lane, they always use the self checkout. I wonder why.

I honestly don't know what is wrong with me. People hate me. People are intimidated by me from the moment I say 'Hello'. Everyone I work with, in my department, hates me. They loved me at first. They gave great reviews about me. They constantly told me how good I was, what a good work ethic I have, and how...

I don't know if that means the UFCW Local 1000 is actually putting up a fight and is determined to not let Kroger screw us out of a decent pay increase (last summer, word was the union was going to fight for $10.00 an hour in light of Walmart, Target, heck even McDonald's, and pretty much everyone else rais...

Do you have a Kroger co-worker that swears you like them, even though you never utter a peep to them, or they think you like them when you are just nice to everybody. Or they swear that they are God's of the Kroger universe, yet they can barely do the minimum required of their job. Or they feel you must give t...
