So I worked at the Kroger by my college during the second semester last year while I was in the dorms. Summer was approaching so everyone signed a paper saying if they wanted to return next year or not. I signed it saying I wanted to. it was about 3 weeks before school starts this year so I called asking what...

I got yelled at by my night crew coworkers for being too slow (or "not hustling"). I think I go at a decent pace, but we have been finishing late somewhat often. Our day is generally: 700-1000 piece loads, 3 crew members 12:00 - start 1:30 - load broken down and spotted, break 1:45 - break ends f...

I was wondering if other cashiers has been told that if you do not get a 95% score on elms the company has told all managers that cashiers is to be wrote up. I was told today that if I do not get my elms score up I would be wrote up. the union has always said that the company could not write cashiers up over elms bu...

My Store Manager was really drilling down on me about the Pre-Prime-Time Review being bad. I scan the empty holes, watch out for multiple facings of certain items, watch for items that may be hiding nearby. I just scan them. Was there something I missed? - Milk

We are in the process of opening a new store and a union rep said if they can't get 51% participation in the union that the store will open as non union. Is that is even possible and would that be such a bad thing?

So we took the associate survey a little while ago. Kroger decided to replace the two best managers with total nazis. One of them wrote up an employee for taking a 16 minute break. What the hell man

My store manger is awful and many employees have problems with her... like real problems, not just not liking her because she makes them do their job, but like demoting employees, choosing obvious favorites, and just not catering or trying to cater to her employees. What can I do about that?

being with kroger closing on to three years now, I have definately formed my views on the UFWC. Some are good while others are not so good. Prior to Kroger, I worked for Wild Oats. During my time there, several employees tried to rally support for unionizing our store. At that time is was strongly ag...

It was mentioned that I would be working in the Dairy department during the daytime. I figure the Dairy lead will be the AM person most of the time and I would be the afternoon Dairy clerk which is ok with me. Does that really mean I will be working in the Dairy department actually stocking or Does that mea...

Boycot the best you can the Elko Smiths the store director is the worst yet and I am a customer. He smokes every second or on cell or he is yelling at the workers.

Let's put it this way. I had a run in with my manager today and his only recourse when i asked him for proof of his accusations toward me was "Insubordination!" I doubt I'll be among you for very much longer. My union rep was of the opinion that I should keep my head down and be an ignorant grunt. L...

How much do file maintenance clerks make? according to indeed.com they make about $37k/year on average but that is not specifically for kroger employees. So I'm guessing that number would be unreliable.

Our produce manager has been off for a week on vacation, the whole dang week when I go in at 4am to cut fruit I have to clean up the work station, hunt down the carts which have been buried in boxes in the back of our cooler, move boxes away from the wall so the grocery guys won't be jerks with our pallets (those...

Last night I went to work. I worked hard. We finished a grocery truck. I wrote the order for tonight's truck. I clocked out and went home. No problems, just thought I would post something that wasn't a complaint for a change.
