So I'm guessing your black and a male? If you want promoted work for it. The company has a a lot to offer you just need to put in the work. I started as a bagger when I was 15 and now I'm in charge of my own department, and I'm only 23.

I just got hired at Ralph's as a courtesy clerk and I have my orientation soon. Can some one please explain how much money the union takes and if it's worth to join. I'm only 16 and I don't plan on working here for more then 2 years.

I want to get a night time job because Kroger doesn't pay me enough. I cant think of any places to apply. I cant apply at giant eagle or Walmart because they are considered competitors. I would prefer a 3rd shift stocking job because I don't like dealing with a lot of customers. fast food is a definite no...

So my gross was $346, net $251. Took a look at my paystub, saw damn near $17 in union fees? Now, the only thing I can think of for the reason is my vacation week, but I didn't work that week, and union dues came out of my vacation check. Is this odd, should I mention it to the HR person, or is there a special fee th...

Ok, I am a bagger And it seems as of late, the checkers seem irritated with me. The reason being is that I let them clean their own checkstands from trash. I'll restock if necessary, but cleaning their own checkstands I let them do. I stopped doing it for them because they ALWAYS left it a mess and called m...

One of the supervisors on Sunday asked me if I could work next Monday (I'm normally unavailable). They kind of forced me into saying yes - I said no at first a few times but they kept insisting and getting more pushy so finally I said I would. I thought that was the end of it and they would write the schedule w...

can someone tell me if courtesy clerks can accept tips?

How is this fair? If too many people asked for it off, give it to the people with more seniority instead of acting petty about it.

As a junior in uni in a STEM major, I don't really have the time or energy to spend 30 hours a week tooling around at Kroger and getting yelled at by dickhead managers and entitled customers. I'm thinking about putting in a leave of absence -- anyone have experience with doing this? I'm going to talk to my H...

I'm a bagger and I just started working here (almost 2 weeks), bagging and clearing the parking lot is the only thing they've shown me how to do, so when I get shifts that end at late hours I don't know what to do. So yeah, I just clock out and leave without saying anything. I've done it quite a few times now bu...

I don't remember using Bams last year though I am sure I did since it's been around for a while. Does anyone know what the userid is suppose to be? There's no where to make one and I have tried my EUID but it just says id does not exist. I remember reading something a while back about it being your SSN or birth d...

I work as a utility clerk and my manager is scheduling outside my availability due to school being out on that day. Does the Union protect me from this? Is there anything I can do or do I just have to accept that my availability is laughable to my manager?

So... I ****ed up realllllllllllllly bad :( Apparently, we're not allowed to use the 'customer care' coupons anymore... fair enough. But when I was told, they said '-if you use it, you have to record it on this form. And it has to be approved by a manager....'. I thought that meant we COULD use it, but th...

do kroger employees get any discounts from any of the cell phone companies?

Have any of your contracts been opened up and put to a vote to increase wages for new hires recently? Apparently this is something the company wants to do in order to be able to hire people. Kroger didn't want to give grandfathered employees an increase, but were forced to by the union.
