So here's the basics: I'm on the overnight grocery crew. My dept manager was stepped down from the position two years ago before regaining the position a few months ago. She orders more than we can put up in an 8 hour shift. Her solution to that is to try and get everyone to stay longer. My problem is that m...

So I'm a deli clerk. The last hired in my store. Wevw since lost 3 pt and 1 ft person. The reason given for no new hires is the low starting pay. I believe that completely. If we can't hire ppl doesn't this make the next year pure hell for workers? Without the union pay scale we could actually hire the p...

Krogers is so concerned about quevision, how about a problem they've been having for years, the customer service line? There are four cash registers up there but generally there's only one person ever working at a time. Maybe on a good day two. If someone in front of you starts a western union order or s...

I'm a front end supervisor, and was told by management that only men are allowed to push carts after sunset (which is like 5pm now), for "safety" reasons. This sounds ridiculously sexist and inefficient, do y'all know if this is Kroger policy or just the usual management dumbness?

We've had a peppermint overload in the bakery. We have 5 buckets of peppermint icing. We have peppermint brownies, peppermint cupcakes, peppermint bark, several varieties of peppermint cookies. We even have peppermint donuts. The only peppermint thing we don't have is peppermint bread.

Last month as I was getting about halfway through my probationary period, I was called and asked to change department from overnight grocery to produce, being told it was because "there weren't enough hours to give me in that department" a few days later, the manager told me that the rea...

So anyways... I work @ 642 in Harrisburg Illinois, and I was wondering how one goes about getting weekends off without limiting ones availability. Seems to me that we have a couple of people....really only one that irks the **** out of me....that can only work certain hours through the week and can't w...

I have to laugh then shake my head when i head the advertisment talk about working in kroger. "flexible hours"/paid vacations.....then you hear the word "career" when they tell you where to apply online. This is a job but very few can make this a career!

Cut our hours but hire new people? Blow smoke up my ass constantly. I love my fellow department associates, and my department manager, but all upper management creep me out. When a manager can't spell clearance or management correctly I have mini break downs. When I'm told with my HR degree and work et...

So, I was curious about the high volume stores with multiple department heads for each department and how they work. Take grocery for example, how do they divvy up grocery manager responsibilities? It seems like it'd be a debacle. Having multiple people ordering, seems like conflicting opinio...

(that didn't get you in trouble) I needed to shred a sensitive card that was white and laminated. My override card looked very similar from behind. You can see where this went, lord knows I didn't. They were just concerned that about it being lost and I'm like nope, I know where it is. In the shredder. (s...

So we voted on the new contract a couple months ago. When we went to vote there was nothing in there about having a set day off. Come to find out it has changed and nobody can havr an unavailable day. This is absurd!! The union lady said you can lose your full time and insurance?!?!? What? Doesn't make sense...

So I get a call and was asked if I can stay later. Okay, that's not too bad because there would be one other person closing with me right? Except this one person called out. And no one else can work (or willing to work until 10pm). So guess who is going to have to make sure everything is clean...ALONE fo...

Can someone tell me why we're not allowed to decorate? I remember in the past Kroger would have tinsel all around the store and on every aisle. Each year we have done less than the year before and now we're not even allowed to put up stockings or a tree. We have a box for employees to put Christmas cards f...

They have to honor your availability, right? Our front end manager just put up a notice saying that all students will be considered to have open availability until January. We're not a Christmas destination type store, you wouldn't need all of us on demand if you'd replace the 3 people who have quit in...

You ever forget someone's coupons and/or s/he hands them to you after you already tendered him/her out and they look at you like you're a frickin criminal? Dude, it's like 80 cents savings. If you cared about your coupons so much maybe you could have mentioned them before I told you to swipe your card. Y...
