today I was suspended for misuse of the VIP card. I got caught using not an associated reward card, but another VIP card 98 times. The total amount of money i saved stealing these fuel points added up to about 30$. When I was suspended I stated I would repay the money and I wanted a second chance. I return to...

If they even show at all. On to of that customers kept getting in my way of sacking. I wanted to tell them to get out of my way.a...

As someone who is getting ready to wave my goodbyes to the company, I'm just wanting to know how well Kroger handles Cobra. I've dealt with Cobra in the past....with laughable results. The last time I signed up for Cobra, my insurance would go inactive the first week of every month without fail. It's a p...

So, I was drinking some Kroger chocolate milk when I noticed that on the upper left corner, there's a little icon that looks like West Virginia with a "4" inside it, right next to a capital K. Anyone know what it's for?

You didn't actually save any money. It's more that we would have overcharged you if you didn't have your shopper's card. Without the card, our prices are unreasonably high and you would have to be a fool to pay them. Waiting to give me your card at the end means you are an idiot. It lowers my CCG's, and the...

A while back, some guy came in and replaced the detergent dispenser on the dishwasher in the deli with a new type of dispenser. The original one was directly attached to the side of the dishwasher and used a solid type detergent. The new one uses liquid and connects differently. Anyway, when he remo...

I've been cashiering for just a few months so far, and just had my first encounter today with a serious scammer, and he was trying to scam me out of almost $100. He came through the line with 1 item, then handed me a $100 to pay for it. I checked it and it was legit, so I entered in $100, and he watched me as a did a...

Sure is funny for Kroger to emulate Walmart or Meijer .. When their trying to be better then them. They all must get together and discuss work.

i used to be a dept head and made a family decison that the extra funds being a dept head is not worth the constant stress and headaches, key retail and the other unreasonable demands. Losing alot of good people and replacing them with inferior managers who dont care anybody else.

My former awesome grocery manager has retired. His replacement is an ass. Thinks he's the entire store's manager and tries to imply that anyone that's younger than him is someone that's new. How long do grocery managers stay in the store they're working in? I'd like to see him gone soon.

...and they were singing "l'internationale" (In English, of course). Should I be concerned?
