So, as of right now, I am the backup Customer Service Coordinator at my Kroger, but I've been offered a spot in the deli by the head of the meat department. I was wondering how tough the deli is, and how hard the learning curve/adjustment would be from going from front end to meat department. Any advice? S...

He wanted some Skoal so I went to get it. When I got back to my register he asked if I was going to ID him. I said yes, I was just looking at your eyes, checking for crows feet lol! I harassed him a little over his picture. Glad his ID checked out, what would I have done?

I tell her jokingly 'I mailed him to China.' She asks again an I give te same response. You CAN tell it was a joke because EVEN the co...

... it would seem corporate's "solution" is to staff stores with more co-managers and use them to "fill" in the gaps. I don't know how widespread this is becoming, but I know at my store, we're up to seven co-managers. At another store which I have friends that work at, that store...

Back in 2013, I asked that Kroger stop taking the automatic weekly United Way donations out of my check, due to the tax holiday not being renewed that had been in place for a number of years... making my paycheck much smaller. Now, I notice that they are taking it out again ($1 a week). I have neither bee...

Last year when the minimum wage went up 15 cents I got a 15 cents raise starting from January 2014. This year the minimum wage went up another 15 cents, but I did not get a raise. I'm at $8.30 now and I'm a certified pharmacy tech, shouldn't I be getting $8.45 starting from January 2015? Just wondering, 15 c...

About my pay rate, next job stop, etc... In regards to "Accrued Credit Quantity" and "Quantity Remaining," does this mean that since my last pay raise I have made $258.75, and have to make another $241.25 before my next pay rate increase?

I haven't seen our paper schedule yet. This week we had myself and a few other courtesy clerks with around 12 hours. But I have them again next week. I wonder if the FEM whom I have written about so much on here is sending a 'lesson' or if it's a repeat again. I will have to see the paper schedule to find out. On...

I'm not talking about my availability, I already know how to do that. I'm asking if there is a way I can change how many hours I have to work in one week online. Right now they have me working 26 hours and I would like to work 15-20.

Hi guys. I'm scheduled to run the self checkout in a few days, but I'm a bit concerned. I've only briefly been shown what to do and I never actually did it before.
