Anyone have problem with on line orders in their deli/bakery dept? We've got 2 orders placed for 100 pc. chicken at 11:45. One was called in earlier in the week and the other placed on line a couple days later. Yet were expected to have them both done at the same time. Our managers seriously expect us...

Often times, our Front End gets so backed up, someone (NOT a comanager or store manager) will get on the intercom and say "We need someone from each and every department to come help bag". I work in the meat and seafood department. It is usually just me and one other person back there, usual...

shrink in a market can be this much. $1100 worth of loss. Sad think is that the employee that left this out can not be disciplined because the store management is afraid to to write-ups because of staffing problems. This had been done 3 times in one period and now management wants to get rid of him. But wit...

Did the union fail or the members. · grumpy1

Been about nine years or around that since we was last able to get good help in the meat departments. Back then is was a case where a new inexperienced clerk would start as fifty cents higher than a new inexperienced grocery clerk. That gave us a a good chance to get the best of new workers in the meat...

Tired of the situation and unfair labor practice or standard for the markets.It has come down to this. I have been with kroger about 2 weeks shy of 25 years. All in the meat department. The last ten years has been the worse as far as the help situation, at least in the Dallas Area. One learns to deal with it a...

We are undergoing a minor remodel/KCSD set starting next week. We are not a Boars Head store, but the locals have advocated for it for a while. Question is, what does it take to become one? I know next to nothing about Deli/Bakery. Is it mainly reserved for upscale areas? We have a diverse consumer...

Can Kroger deny personal day requests? I requested Sunday off because i'm going to Cedar Point. I already bought tickets and fast lane plus passes because fast lane sells out pretty quickly. If I do get scheduled, i'm going to have to call off since they are non-refundable. My schedule doesn't even c...

So I interviewed for a cashier/courtesy clerk position around 8 business days ago (excluding the weekend, of course) and I was told that I pretty much had the job. I took the drug test and the hiring manager said they would send my background check off. I had already taken the pre-background check thi...

My first day at the deli was yesterday & it went pretty well. I'm just worried I won't like it in about a month lol. It's gonna take awhile for me to remember the meats etc I rather just package up food & cook. My shifts are from 9am-5:30pm. It's really slow during those hours. I feel like an annoya...

I will be starting a new job soon and only want to be available on the weekends at Kroger. However, I'm not interested in working full shifts all the time.. I know it may be different according to the different areas, but does anyone know of a minimum number of hours you "have" to work? I've onl...

I was scheduled from 10-4:45 today. A family emergency came up around 3:30 and I had to leave. Will I still get paid for that last hour & 15 minutes or will I only get paid for what I worked?

What's the arbitration policy at Kroger for non-union employees, for union employees? As you can imagine, Kroger makes it very difficult to get this info, particulary for employees in trouble and former employees. This information has become crucial for me at this stage. Thank you for your time.

Well...........this isn't really about Willy Wonka, or a factory-----but there IS chocolate involved. Sorta. This is a mass appeal to anyone and everyone working for Kroger who is responsible for bath room cleanliness. What I just experienced at the Kroger I normally shop at was disgusting on lev...

So I won't reiterate much of what I said in the past, but I will say that being on the bottom of the totem pole at Kroger basically forces you to look for a supplementary income. When the supplementary income greatly exceeds how much you make from what is supposed to be your main income (Kroger), it is no l...

From April to December, my availability has changed from what days I need off (April - MWF, August-December, TR) but the consistent thing has been 11pm is the absolute latest.
