Well thank God that the holiday season in over. Just before it started we got a new store manager who didn't allow any extra hours and cut them even more than the already low amount we were already given. And the number of new hires has recently dropped. They work a few days then quit. The HR lady told m...

Joy. With Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's holidays behind us, we leave behind one long, "fun" stretch in the world of retail and now enter a new, almost as obnoxious, time of the year, exclusive to Kroger (lucky us). The holidays have come and gone, so now it's time to "reempha...

As soon as I got out of the car this morning I noticed a police car parked a few doors down from Kroger. I thought maybe the beauty supply store had been robbed again, for the 5th time in a year. Then I noticed right in front of Kroger, on the sidewalk, blocking the whole area off were 3 police cars. Went in...

Thought I'd share this little story. A couple days ago a lady came in and spoke to one of the deli employees, dammit I missed all the fun because I was at lunch at the time, and said that she got sick from the holiday dinner she purchased for thanksgiving. She didn't bring any of the dinner items back, all...

Everytime I change my availability, my department manager that writes the schedules messes it up. I go to college so my availability is non negotiable. Last time it took him 3 weeks to get it right...then he gets mad at me even though I clearly put it online.

Over the Holidays my wife purchased boxes of "keurig" types of coffee to make gift baskets. Mind you i have shopped at Kroger for over 15 plus years and basically do all my shopping there. Tonight my wife asked me to return 4 boxes but could not find the receipt for the original purchase of t...

As some of you may know, I've been terribly sick for the past two days. I went to the doctor's on Monday and got a note. The note says that I could return to work today, but I woke up still not feeling well (I had a fever again) so I called in again this morning. And I had planned on going back today because I thou...

I have a supervisor who has extreme anger issues and no people skills whatsoever. She's absurdly incompetent- she had to be taught the difference between 1% and .1% (too stupid to try to explain- but you get the idea). One day she was bagging groceries for me and had a screaming mad fit at me for going too...

I worked Sunday, the comanager called me in the office and had a write up. Some bogus stuff she made up. Said I yelled at a customer and threw her chips and when the lady got home her chips were crushed and she called the store. Really? The day I was so sick I could barely stand up and I asked to go home? Th...

So, we had an incident last night that forced us to call the police to escort out an employee after the store closed. Basically he was high on something and refused to do any work. Refused to leave the store even after the store manager himself told him to go home. Police confirmed he was high, but coul...

New to this forum (hi folks. ;) ). I'm a cashier at Kroger (way long enough to know better). Our Kroger is located in a tourist city. Today I had an asinine/idiotic conversation with a woman who works in customer service. A customer had asked for a new Kroger card. Since I had none at my register, I went to c...

I called in yesterday and today due to being sick. I went to the doctors yesterday and he told me to stay home again today because I'd be contagious until my fever broke. However, I'm thinking of calling in again tomorrow because I'm still feeling really crappy. My fever did break though. I did get a doct...

I started dairy recently and am being trained, but the person training me doesn't communicate as much as I think s/he should. I have asked a ton of questions, but feel like I'm just being a nuisance and not getting enough training. I would appreciate some tips to help me get off to a good start. ty

During orientation I remember my rep saying we get 4 extra hours holiday pay as part time, and that we also get an extra $.50 per hour. So if I work 4 hours on a holiday, that tells me I should get 4 hours paid at $7.55 and (the extra) 4 hours at $8.05. When I looked at my pay stub, I saw that I had been paid an extra...

I'm on 45 day probation and have 2 ear infections + Bronchitis. How should I approach this? Call in with Doctor Excuse in hand, or let management decide on sight? I work in Meat Dept. and with this bronchitis I have a never ending, loud cough.

Damn shame. Mind you, these are MIDDLE school students. I'll be honest, I see a good 3/4 of them on SNAP after secondary education. Though, I'd rather see half of them land a McJob (at the very least), and the other 1/4 in Kroger. Oh, and to o...

I work in the Fuel Center. A couple of questions I need answered: 1. Why am I now not being scheduled to work Sundays when I was working closing shift every Sunday before? 2. If a worker goes to the union for a 'hostile work environment' complaint and another complaint about her seniority over others...
