One of our Co managers announced that over the intercom today around 6PM. I've never heard that before. I work in meat and seafood and we were slammed, so none of us (3 of us back there) went up to help bag, after all, that's what the courtesy clerks are hired to do, and front end already took about 5 hours fr...

I just had a quick question... I'm a current Kroger employee, promoted to fulltime earlier this year and have been with the company about 8 years. A friend of mine is part time and a recent hire. We're both looking to relocate out of state (Michigan to Texas, if it matters any) sometime next year. It's my...

Hi guys, I'm not an employee, just a customer, but I've heard this announcement (the words in the subject line) 5 out of the last 5 times I've gone to a Kroger in my area. Each time I've gone has been at a different time of the day, and each time has been right as I walk into the store or a minute or two into being...

Supposed to work tomorrow afternoon and it's supposed to rain in the Atlanta area. Going to see how they work out. Last time it had a sudden downpour here, I had to go and buy some of the socks we sell, because my shoes got soaked through and it was like walking in sponges.

How are we supposed to know where EVERY item in the store is, off the top of our heads? I can usually guess where it is, just by looking at the list of items above the aisles, but we NEVER got trained where things are. Then customers get angry when we don't know where some obscure items are.

Does anyone else have a problem trying to access ess.kroger.com I am trying to check my paystubs and it doesn't seem to want to load. This is not the first time it has done this. Actually lately, whenever i try to access the site it gives me problems. Some days i can log in and some days i can't.

I've worked at a Kroger store for about two months now. When I first started, the HR person said that I have to ask every customer if they've found everything ok and ask for the loyalty card. If I don't do those things and I get a secret shopper, apparently they can use that against me. I ask 75% of m...

I've been with Kroger for over a year, but ive never worked past 10PM. Thanksgiving week im scheduled to work until 11, i was wondering...

At the start of the year, ESS listed that I had four personal holidays to use, and I successfully used one a few months back. When I did, the site updated to say that I used one, and had three left to use, which I was planning on using next month. But I checked ESS today, and it says I've got personal days left...

So I was told that Front End was "given" more hours next week for Thanksgiving. When I also complained / mentioned off-the-record about having one person working the entire parking lot for both entrances to bring in carts to one of our cooler Front End Supervisors, he said that when the &qu...

so here lately I've been having 3 to 4 pallets of ice in the freezer at one time because the company keeps Distributing it. This past time I barely put a dent in the one I had ordered a few weeks ago and then last week they sent another pallet of the same size bag. It already takes me about a month to get rid of on...

I thought that it was rude of the new guy to do that and I didn't say nothing, and now I caught his cold sickness, I'm taking EmergenC. He was two hours late and was supposed to come in at 10'oclock and help me unload the grocery truck for night crew, so that is what he was doing when he sneezed on me, and I was pi...

Anybody have tips on how to throw faster? I usually do the nonfood side of grocery (pet, laundry, paper, baby). We have to go straight off the pallet, no spotting. We usually spot some stuff , but right off the.pallet for the most part. I use the big boxes of paper to hold my trash. Anybody have any words...

What say you? False, I say. Consider:Kroger is already the 4th-lowest-paying company in the US with no pure-grocery competitors below it.The Kroger niche isn't, "We're the dirt-cheapest thing out there in food." Charge a penny more for the processed-junk items, and compensate resp...

Been cold here in the South. When the sliding doors open in the main lobby the cold air rushes into the store and you can feel it freezing by uscan, self-check out and one of the registers.

Availability: Is Seven-Day/Night Wide Open the Only Option? One store is kind of making it seem that way by leaving submitted availability revisions pending indefinitely (ten days) or sometimes by declining them the day of schedule-writing . . . which kicks the can down the road and leaves the work...
