Can I get some tips as a new cashier. I use to work at another kroger when I was fourteen, but as a bagger. Now I'm 18, and have gotten a job as a cashier. How can I be fast, remember the codes, coupons, how to be friendly and charismatic, and everything under the sun I could be faced with. I want to know about al...

Is there a way to make them either: Not freeze for a minute when on the main screens (Try to use a number, it just sits there without processing the input for a minute until it refreshes) And also: Not randomly logout so often? I can be using it for markdowns, set it down for less than 30 seconds, pick it up, a...

Please stop putting electrical outlets on the floor. We spray down the floor every night. Even if we put covers over the outlets, eventually they break or water seeps in. And you know what happens then? They catch fire! We had an electrical outlet three years ago that started smoking whenever we clean...

So I'm currently a cashier that's been putting in some extra hours for HBC, and recently a position has opened up in the department that could lead to me being transferred if I wanted. So far it doesn't seem to hard to handle, but I'm sure that will change with the holidays approaching. The department he...

Yesterday I'm stocking lunchmeat and there's a pack of dairy cheese slices in the pepperoni, I grab it thinking oh no this will be bad, nope it's frozen solid. I think hmmmm I bet whoever is working frozen put that there as it's right next to the freezer doors. I tell some coworkers and everyone say...

So the deli at my store was closed today for repair to the plumbing system that should have been fixed years ago. The only reason they are finally fixing this is because the health dept. started threatening to close it. It was originally thought that the floor would have to be taken up to make the repair...

What does it mean when a customer uses their plus card and simple items come back as restricted? It happened one time with cornmeal. Help. Thanks!

He didn't schedule my paid personal day I wanted to take this week because he said he didn't know how. He gave me the day off without pay though. I told him I would put another day on the eschedule. He said he didn't know how to schedule it. OMG I had to tell him ok, I would find out for him and let him know. ...

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...

do employees at kroger get paid wednesday or thursday this week

Anonymous

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...

For a part timer, how much do you pay each week (or month?) for part time insurance? And how do you like it? I'm in the Nashville division by the way. I've asked coworkers but they all say something different. Thanks!
