Been wanting to ask this since my days of being an employee are over. How do you guys see the work force of kroger being? I see it being these main groups 1. Young kids: Teenagers/college students. Most of them will not be there long and some will have a work ethic. 2. Retired: Those that are looking for som...

I got put on an 11 a.m. - 7 p.m. shift this Sunday because our FEM had to add two courtesy clerks and two cashiers. Am I mad? No, not really because once again I got 12 hours despite having seniority o...

This is a billion dollar company severely mis-managed! I couldn't take the anxiety of working there. I don't believe I stayed 3 years...A waste. First off the schedule it is not made until Friday and not posted till noon and does not show up on-line till after 2pm on Saturday. Yes and you may have to wo...

So today I'm on 'lot duty on pharmacy side and temporarily helping out the courtesy clerk who has 'lot duty for the main entrance because we were low on carts. Well, at our store, the customers have decided that a No Parking zone is only a suggestion and it's okay to park in the fire lane if there isn't a fir...

The wind chill where I live is supposed to be -30 tomorrow. How much do you all wanna bet that they'll still send the the CCs out on carts? I'm not doing it. It's just too cold. I'm sorry, but I don't wanna risk losing my fingers and/or toes just to get carts. Nope.

I got my monthly newsletter from UFCW 75 today and had myself a little laugh about it. There was an article in it talking about how Walmart is everything that's wrong with retail. About how Walmart is owned by one of the richest families in the world, surely they can afford to give their workers more hour...

Hi, I need a reference letter for scholarships in the next few weeks and I was wondering who I should ask about that. Does it matter or am I supposed to ask a store manager? I was thinking it'd be better to ask my assistant dept manager or my dept manager since they actually see me work a lot more. I like my ass...

I've been working at the fuel center for two years, while going to community college the whole time. So after graduating school with an Associate's degree, I had my availability set to be completely open while I wasn't in school. However, a few weeks later I ended up checking out a new college on a whim,...

I am starting in a new department in the morning. It is nutrition, and I know nothing about this department. I don't know anything about ordering, surveys, or anything!! I am hoping I will be trained on those things. Does anyone have any information on this department, or any advice that might help.

Anybody else makng these for Mardi Gras? Until about 15 years ago, I had never heard of them. A local bakery is also selling them in our store at almost 3 times the price of ours. I have a feeling we're going to sell more. We also have nine case of paczki donuts to get rid of.

We are a very high volume store, our store manager doesn't give two ****s about his employees, and spends 90% of his time texting on his phone. The other 10% consists of him belittling us about osat and how we can raise it, and makes us feel like ****. He's ALWAYS grumpy, and you can never read his expr...

We literally could not keep carts in either side of the store foyers. At one point we had nine registers open. They just kept coming.....and coming...and coming....and coming... Like damn Walking Dead walkers, except you can eventually stop those from coming toward you. If our store doesn't do at l...
