does your manager come around with a clipboard asking you to sign it? They always make you feel rushed so you don't really get to read what you're signing but they tell you that "you're signing it because you're in xxx dept and xxx got injured"

Any advice on what the routine is first day or first few days to start at Kroger after interviews done and tests come back? Go in tomorrow. Thanks

they use that exact line. Well it's not in anybody's contract that "you will tie bales" but you know what, it's part of the grocery store job and you use the thing, what makes you think you don't have to tie the ****er? Every dept is swamped these days with reduced hours.

a coworker told me that there are divisions/zones where the people with the most seniority store-wide are able to take dept manager jobs (I assume when they become availiable) regardless of experience. This means that Agnes who's worked in the deli for 45 years could suddenly decide she wants to be...

I'm still a little confused how total efficiency is measured as related to IPM and tender time. Do those have some kind of flat values on them or is it all just about earning your ring/tender time on the register? For example, when I got 106% efficiency for the week at the end of the day (no sale 96 sign on) m...

My husband works for Kroger full time and we are due with our child in 3 weeks. He has no personal days left (due to family issues) and no vacation time. I was hoping someone could tell me i he is entitled to some sort of "maternity" leave (i cant find his handbook). Also, if he is- is it paid time?...

Day off and I got called in. Oh well. Need the money anyway. Since I'm not on the schedule, will I get the "ring restricted" message when I try to punch in?

Store 440 just brought down a massive hammer against stealing. All in one day they fired about 10-15 just from the front end. The fired people had stolen really anything, and I understand they have to fire people they catch, but do they really sit up there all day and just watch every employee? Also, s...

Just wondering what everyone thinks is the hardest/most demanding department to work in. I work in the meat department. It can get gross with having to clean the saw room and bleeding meat, leaking chicken and so on. Boxes can be VERY heavy. And if we're busy, customers get attitudes with how long they...

The new policy book is a joke! Read page 36. WE have to abide by the Kroger rules, and follow them to a tee, but.. they have the right to change the rules anytime they see fit.

I get paid $8.10 per hour, been working since August. I'm certified and union. According to my HRexpress after working 500 hours I'll be getting a 5 cent raise. Just wondering, will my next raises be only a nickel? Seems like no one can tell me anything about raises, neither HR people nor union represen...

Found some old posts on Fuel Clerks and wondering what the pay starts out at and if it has gone up since then? Shouldnt that job be higher paying than any other with all the requirements and duties you have throughout the shift?

I was just wondering how everyone's stores determine seniority. Before e-schedule started at my store, it was determined solely based on the amount of time worked for Kroger. Now availability is also factored into where you fall in the seniority list. This got me curious as to what kind of calculati...

I have a 330p - 10p day next week. It's listed as a 6 hour shift so I guess they put the extra half hour there for a lunch break. If I don't take a lunch break, can I clock out at 9:30?
