The last two times I have needed a day off I have put down 'Personal'. Basically I am assisting with a local haunted house that gives its proceeds to charity. This will be my fifth year associated with them. On the Employee Self Service I see an option for 'OffNoPay' ; would this be where, when I see my co-w...

I've got a few questions regarding the job of "Produce Clerk". In Texas, what is the entry level pay? Do you start as part time or full time? If you are part time, how many hours do they normally schedule you? Can you possibly get extra hours to work at or close to 40 hours each week? Thank You!

Let me get this out of the way first: I love Kroger. I think the prices are pretty damn good, the products (with the exception of Simple Truth, and some of the service deli in my specific store) are good, and almost all of my coworkers are awesome, fantastic people I'm glad to have met. But some of the ones w...

For real, old farts need to just roll over and D I E. They apparently have nothing better to do than cruise around stores all day--Kroger, Walmart, etc.----and whine and cry and bitch abut high the prices have gotten since they were 17.

Is there a way we can stop this from being deducted from our check? Being a broke college kid isn't fun, and I don't get many house to begin with.

Anyone else given a card with a bunch of "Associate Talking Points" on it, and told to memorize it all over night? I never imagined I would have to do homework for this job... I always zone it out and forget about it as soon as I leave the store.

My biceps and triceps seem to have grown by around a millimeter or so. They're definitely bigger than they were before I started at Kroger seven months ago. It's like my quadriceps and my calves. I ride a bicycle everywhere I go (for now). And since work is three miles away, that's at least six miles in a s...

Okay, so, a little backstory first. I first was hired at Kroger in July 2010 as a bagger making $7.35/hr starting and worked there through the summer after I graduated high school. I quit in August 2012 making $8.10/hr to go to college an hour away. I didn't want to quit, but I was told that the whole "...

Today when I was breaking down the bakery frozen food order, I came across an empty box which had not been opened. It said, "Empty box" on the side. Why?

Could someone please tell me about a energy transfer letter? What does it say and how can I request one? I am part time and signed a bid for a full time position at a different Kroger location. I've been working for Kroger for 5 years now and want to become full time. I was denied because another employe...

If you are part time, can you possibly get extra hours by helping out other departments? Of course, this would have to be after you completed your hours in your own. How would this work?

Hi, Does anyone know how long it takes to receive your final email that you have been On-Boarded? I had my "Group Interview" last Wednesday. I did the background check (filled online the previous week, after setting up interview time) and drug test (the day of the interview). How long did...

I have worked for Kroger at Dillons for six years, never been written up for anything. I transferred to another store last year and recently I got trained as an FES. Sometimes when we get really busy I open a register and call management to help watch the front. The other FES's do this too and it doesn't se...

This is kind of a silly rant, but i wanted to know if this happens to anyone else. Sometimes a customer will stand right by me as i'm bagging their groceries. I find it it silly and annoying at the same time. I could understand if they were helping me bag but they aren't even monitoring my bagging, just lo...

Sometime in July, someone deleted my original availability for one of the days I can only work mornings...
