I had my first day today and feel like I barely made it out alive. I had no idea how much crap Drug/GM has to stock. It was made worse by the fact that I didn't know where anything was so I was sitting there dumbfounded looking through the shelves forever. Every u-boat I pushed seemed to have boxes topple ove...

Well, after about 2.5 years of bouncing around at different jobs, I am now back working at Kroger. I remembered this forum and how I used to waste time on the store computer reading posts back in the day. So here I am. Back once again. This job is something easy I can do while going to school, so that's my exc...

This company makes a little under 2 BILLION a year and yet each and every year, or in the case of District Q, every new contract, they come up with ways of getting rid of full-timers and firing people willy nilly. This is a company I've spent 15 years of my life with, and credit them to pulling me off the stre...

So what is the deal with vendors? The lady that hired me was telling me about all the different brands stocked by vendors. I had no idea so many things were brought in and stocked by outside companies. Are there many things in the Drug/GM dept. that are done by vendors? I found this interesting.

antone who works in MS, do they schedule you according to seniority? Or mix it up? And does the CSC have the right to schedule you on your unavailable day?

My store is always cold and it seems like the air conditioning is on instead of the heat. I was sitting in our break room yesterday, and a blast of icy cold air was coming from the vents. I was told that management had no control over this, and that the temperature is actually regulated from a central loc...

Can salary employees get in trouble for time theft?

How does the manager select what order the names are on the schedule? Is there a way to put the manager then back-up at the top and then list everyone else by seniority?

Well I went to go to work yesterday and like, my manager begged me to come in today (my day ff according to the schedule) but I was like, no I feel a cold coming on and like, I want to stay home and get some rest to fight it off. She was really disappointed. She says "if you change your mind please call the s...

My ring/tender is usually in the 125-130 range. I don't do anything in particular, although I am quite fast with the produce codes, but that's about it. Sometimes when a customer pays with cash and is being slow about it, I'll tender them out, hold my drawer closed, then no sale enter and give them thei...

Normally, I'd often come to the defence (yeah, defence) of courtesy clerks because of how much **** is rolled down towards them. Then, there's clerks like this guy: He just stood there for more or less 15 minutes while being on his phone. How do I know it was roughly 15 minutes? B...

I went online to check my paystub and Kroger has screwed up my paycheck. This time they paid me 1 hour too much. I worked 7 hours on Thanksgiving Day, but was scheduled 8 hours. They let us go an hour early since the store closed at 4:00 pm and they had us scheduled until 5:00 pm. I clocked in and out that d...

Alright this here is a post I actually put up on facebook back when it happened in July. I have been putting off sharing it on here simply because I didn't want to even see anything that said Kroger. That is how much I despise the place. But the more I think about it, the more I feel I should share it. Just so pe...

I went through my interview and then went through the orientation for Drug/GM. I'm scheduled to be at the training center for the 2 training classes tomorrow at 8 AM. I'm doing both in one day. What should I expect for tomorrow? I've never worked for Kroger so I'm totally new.

I am a Front End Clerk. I was hired on September 7, 2014. I was looking at HR Express under Salary/Wage Rate Information and I have several questions: 1. My Current job Step is 100 with my Next Job Step listed as 500. What does this mean? 2. Accrued Credited Quantity is 8.00 and Quantity Remaining is 18. Wh...

Please stop putting electrical outlets on the floor. We spray down the floor every night. Even if we put covers over the outlets, eventually they break or water seeps in. And you know what happens then? They catch fire! We had an electrical outlet three years ago that started smoking whenever we clean...

Private selection is very hit-or-miss for me. Their ice cream is pretty good, but their mason jar desserts are not worth the $3, they're basically glorified pudding and the jar doesn't even have a proper lid so no reusing it. I also didn't like their vegetable lasagna. Today though I bought some lemon...
