Anyone else in the mid-atlantic area having their store manager cut hours from e-schedule ? E-schedule will schedule say 140hrs. for a dept and store mgr. will cut them to 115hrs. Sales are almost doubled over last year. Pain in the butt with no hours, more sales, waiting on customers, and getting cal...

WV's min wage went from 7.25 to 8.00, on 1/1/2015. I was making 8.10 that's .85 higher than the people starting out. The min wage goes up and I did get a raise however it was only by .40. Which has me making 8.55 (increases to 8.65 in march). So here I am almost 5.5 years in and I lost the .85 and am now only makin...

Over the Holidays my wife purchased boxes of "keurig" types of coffee to make gift baskets. Mind you i have shopped at Kroger for over 15 plus years and basically do all my shopping there. Tonight my wife asked me to return 4 boxes but could not find the receipt for the original purchase of t...

I cashier at my store and I was on educational leave at the time this happened, so I don't know all the details. But one of my supervisors said while I was gone they did some sort of update or reset to the POS system and ever since then it's been really laggy sometimes. For instance I'll scan a bunch of stuff a...

Ha, ok, so for a change of pace: I'm looking for that one item that the deli sells with their lunch meals. It's either a sweet potato or carrot.... cake... thing. The question is, I have no idea what it is. It's orange in color, soft, and served with the chicken and mashed potatoes. It's actually the ONL...

I worked Sunday, the comanager called me in the office and had a write up. Some bogus stuff she made up. Said I yelled at a customer and threw her chips and when the lady got home her chips were crushed and she called the store. Really? The day I was so sick I could barely stand up and I asked to go home? Th...

Who here has signed up for the Merrill Lynch 401(K) plan through Kroger? Just wondering because I am having a bit of an issue. I signed up for it nearly a month ago. Had my account set up to where it would take so much out of my check weekly. After two weeks, it still said I had $0 in my savings plan. So I figu...

So, we had an incident last night that forced us to call the police to escort out an employee after the store closed. Basically he was high on something and refused to do any work. Refused to leave the store even after the store manager himself told him to go home. Police confirmed he was high, but coul...

Yesterday at work I found out that our Front End manager filed a grievance against a new guy in the deli because he doesn't work any late shifts. Main reason he doesn't is because of his availability. For crying our loud neither me or the asst. deli manager work too many late shifts but the new guy got fi...

As soon as I got out of the car this morning I noticed a police car parked a few doors down from Kroger. I thought maybe the beauty supply store had been robbed again, for the 5th time in a year. Then I noticed right in front of Kroger, on the sidewalk, blocking the whole area off were 3 police cars. Went in...

I have a supervisor who has extreme anger issues and no people skills whatsoever. She's absurdly incompetent- she had to be taught the difference between 1% and .1% (too stupid to try to explain- but you get the idea). One day she was bagging groceries for me and had a screaming mad fit at me for going too...

Everytime I change my availability, my department manager that writes the schedules messes it up. I go to college so my availability is non negotiable. Last time it took him 3 weeks to get it right...then he gets mad at me even though I clearly put it online.

I called in yesterday and today due to being sick. I went to the doctors yesterday and he told me to stay home again today because I'd be contagious until my fever broke. However, I'm thinking of calling in again tomorrow because I'm still feeling really crappy. My fever did break though. I did get a doct...

As some of you may know, I've been terribly sick for the past two days. I went to the doctor's on Monday and got a note. The note says that I could return to work today, but I woke up still not feeling well (I had a fever again) so I called in again this morning. And I had planned on going back today because I thou...

I started dairy recently and am being trained, but the person training me doesn't communicate as much as I think s/he should. I have asked a ton of questions, but feel like I'm just being a nuisance and not getting enough training. I would appreciate some tips to help me get off to a good start. ty

Damn shame. Mind you, these are MIDDLE school students. I'll be honest, I see a good 3/4 of them on SNAP after secondary education. Though, I'd rather see half of them land a McJob (at the very least), and the other 1/4 in Kroger. Oh, and to o...
