So here is the deal. I was called in and interviewed with this woman, we will call her "Beverly" (not her real name, of course). From "Beverly's" interview I then came in for a drug test given by "Carol" (not her real name) for the saliva test. Took three days to get th...

Supervisor started working on the schedule and the first time she ran it it only scheduled me three days for next week. I'm full time and have been for the last 20 years.

hello fellow Kroger employees, i work in district M of the Michigan division. It seems we almost never have people getting their raises, premiums, or top rate adjustments on time. The company always gives "Retro pay," but it sometimes takes weeks or even months, and when it is brought to m...

I'm a front end employee. On occasion when I'm assigned to clean the bathrooms, I do run into customers that ask if we have more stock of a particular product in the back room. Is it worth rummaging through all of our stuff looking for whatever they want? I usually tell them that we're out or I refer them to...

Me and 8 other employees were assembling patio furniture in our store. The 3 managers overseeing it informed us if we needed a tool or two to take it off the shelf, which I never knew was possible. Our Drug and GM manager informed me to take a pair of pliers off the shelf to help with removing caps and such to...

Just curious about some of the keyboard functions. I asked my FES and he couldn't give me a real answer so I thought I'd ask here. What does the FS/NO FS button do? What's the difference between the TAX/NO TAX and the DISCOUNT/TAX EXEMPT BUTTONS? We recently got the new keyboard layout, am I ever gonna ne...

Shortly after I posted the schedule on Friday one of my necessary full time people came in with a doctor's note saying she needed to be off the following week. Yes, it's legit. So I had to redo the schedule. The problem is E-Schedule wouldn't let me change it because it said the schedule had already...

I have just noticed in the last few weeks Kroger is advertising on TV. Up until now I haven't seen Kroger advertise on TV since the 1980s, when I started working for them. I was wondering if anyone else has seen any TV commercials.

when someone who has terrorized you and made your work experience miserable for 4 years gets fired! It's been 3 weeks now and we have many new hires, and without her around to turn people against me I've actually made a lot of new friends. I'm so happy. I feel like a weight has been lifted off of me.

So the girl in the bakery/deli who was suspended after shoving a guy in the deli got her job back! How I don't know. At her grievance hearing the dept. head and back up were allowed to speak and a girl who know longer works there was allowed to speak on her behalf, but NONE of the four witnesses who saw her s...

I recently got hired at Kroger, I am wondering what to expect during training starting off as a courtesy clerk?? How soon after training can I work? Is there a limited number of hours I can get since I'm new? (I'm aiming for 35-40 hrs if possible)

The new bakery section opened in January. It's huge. Before we expanded, our budget was around $12,000 or more per week. It's probably more now. Anyway, we are slowly sinking because they didn't hire any help before the expansion. We're short about 100 hours. We have one full time decorator...

If a part timer puts in there two weeks without taking their vacation will they still get paid for it? Or do they have to take their vacations?

The details aren't important, but there was a misunderstanding, I was the lowest level employee (but non-union) in the department, and thrown under the bus. The incident was considered serious enough where the regional HR guy went down to the store after work. Over the phone he threatened me to eit...

Does anyone else have a problem of people from other departments stealing your supplies? There are always people stealing our squeeges. We'll have a good one for like a week and then it's gone. The one we have now doesn't clean our floors very well because it's not made of the same material as the deli fl...

We got a nut working on the stocker night crew!!! He talks to himself, barks and growls like a dog, and meows like a cat, and has sudden outbursts. When I talk to him, I don't understand what heck he is talking about, he makes no sense. The employees and venders are afraid of him. But I've heard that sai...

Putting my two weeks in. As much fun as it is was to work 12 hours at minimum wage, I have to move on to something better. What are some things I should do before I leave? I heard you can get your union fees reimbursed in case you ever work for a company under the same union.
