I do not want to turn this thread into a bash fest but let's have an open and honest discussion revisited about minority customers. I was hired almost five years ago and very few came into the store. Now with more of them in the area, incidents of shoplifting, harassment of cashiers and customer service...

Am sick, but don't need a doctor, because I have been to one before and got a prescription, but every once and awhile am too sick to work and need to stay home. Do I have to have a doctors note for just one day? I am with ufcw 1000.

I'm trying to work in Kroger and I have no idea what backroom position is like.

So most people tend to hate the SCO.. My question is, for your store, is there one person in there the whole time, or are there multiple people? For my store, we tend to just switch out with who comes in after us, or management will switch us out with a CC if it gets too busy to handle.

I've been working for Kroger more than a year and I feel like I am always a target. First it was when I called in one day for my grandmother's funeral, my store manager said no you can't because it's a holiday weekend (Memorial Day) but when I got there I was just bagging folks **** , mind you my probation per...

Kroger is not an equal opportunity employer they so claim to be. You will go far in the company if you are a) male b) a favorite or c) Caucasian. Kroger is gender bias to a high degree. Don't believe me? Ask my 7+ years of experience with the company where they refused to work with me because of my disabi...

Our store mgr got back from a meeting he and others spent the week at and one of the things they talked about was dropping the Union. Has anyone else heard about this? I know our union kinda sucks but i would be more scared not having one at all and being walked all over by managment.

How most interactions with any male over 50 go: Me: Hi how are you today? Them: *no response * Me: Did you find everything alright? Them: I can't find a damn thing in this store me: I'm sorry about that sir. Was there anything in particular you were looking for? them: *chuckles* gah I don't know. lots of t...

Not all items are appropriate for this-sometimes it is much better to fill the bag up and let it go. Why all this emphasis about "build a wall" bagging all of a sudden?!? It's really being pushed in my store-tips on how to deal with it?

Is it a good department to get in to?

I work grocery night shift, as some of you may already know from earlier posts. Can they write me up for leaving right when the schedule says at 8:30, instead of staying overtime to finish stocking/conditioning? Can I do this during the holidays when we get f**ked with a huge load?

Does your store have Clicklist? Is there ongoing issues (Staffing, Picking of Items, Payment Processing) ?

With all of the extra crap like residual scanning and sorting off slow movers, mandatory daily back stock, and now the loss of a conditioner to make up the hours the crew lost when this system rolled out I am spending between 3-4 hours a day doing it. I work at a smaller store (300k/WK) which means I'm resp...

Has anyone heard a Barry Manilow song on the Kroger music playlist? I can't remember EVER hearing one, although I have only been working here for close to 4 years. And to any of you who have a low opinion of his music, I will just say in my opinion, he has a strong, powerful voice with great depth of emotion,...

How might I find out the title and artist for a song that is played in a local Kroger affiliate (from the in-store audio network)?
