Anyone else getting a kick out of the pathetic new signage? Imitation is the lowest form of self-debasement. You're never going to out Wal-Mart the real deal, boys and girls. Might as well take pride in offering consumers a different experience.

New to Kroger and need help understanding my eschedule. (I'm a grocery clerk) If Sunday shows as blank and Monday says I work from 12:00a - 5:00a. Does that mean I come in Monday and clock in at 12:00a, or does that mean I come in Sunday at 12:00a which would technically be Monday 12:00a - 5:00a?

I was initially hired as a cashier at my store and a store manager approached me 4 months into my employment and said we need an extra person in front end file maintenance (pricing dept.) to make signs and do scan audits a few days a week. They said it would be in addition to cashiering. I got about 38 hours a...

I would like to wish everyone a happy fourth of July. I hope that those of you who had to work managed to take off early so you can spend time with your friends and loved ones. Let the fireworks begin! And to quote Lee Greenwood: God bless the USA!

Well I had written my schedule down but lost it and when I checked e-scedule it said I worked 8:30-5. Well I stayed to 5 to get my hours. My question is if e-schedule isn't going to ma...

What is it like in the states where grocery stores carry wine? There is a petition right now to have the city vote on it and we have one in the store for people to sign but I really don't want to carry wine unless they give us a full time wine expert because you know people will be asking and we'll be like ummmmm...

If I come in as a customer, I am told by management that I have to greet and provide assistance to customers. Who do I talk to in regards to this treatment? He also quizzes me about customer service while I'm on breaks, lunch, or off the clock. I want to put an end to being singled out by Pat Coe.

So last night I was only scheduled a 4 hour shift from 5-9. I had to do breakout and clean up. Breakout took me until about 7 but the bread wasn't thawed so i went and cleaned the donut case, took back trash, etc. By the time I was done doing all that, it was 8:30. Which gave me an extra half hour to package cooki...

My store director at a certain Smiths store has summed up any inquiries I had about why we are so understaffed and treated like crap, these are his exact words, "The sooner you realize we don't give a **** about you and your family, the further you'll go in this company." What great words of in...
