So i just started working in grocery mostly in the dairy department. What are some tips to get things done fast?

Anonymous

I am currently a courtesy clerk. I was told a month ago that I was getting promoted to a cashier, but it hasn't happened yet due to a lack of training hours available. Today, the dairy manager asked me if I wanted to join the dairy department. My question is what do you do if you work in the dairy departm...

so today I was try to take the black plastic bins back to where we store them, next to the bailer, but some jackass left a cart full of product in the hallway and I bumped into it with my cart. All the plastic bins (despite supposedly being able to stack neatly) went everywhere. I cut the **** out of my leg a...

So, tonight I was called by my store manager because I apparently didn't show up for a shift I was supposed to work. Tonight is Saturday night. Today (Saturday) I was scheduled to work from 8am to 2pm, and according to my e-schedule I was scheduled 10pm to 6am on Sunday. Basically the story behind this is...

ok we've got a girl in the deli who has less seniority than I do (she has roughly 5 years), but still gets all day shifts (7-330 and 8-430), never works a night, doesn't work saturdays or sundays (EVER!). Now that eschedule has rolled around, she's still got the same schedule. Still 40 hours. Seems li...

I have heard of a lot of stupid stuff happening with this company, but what I found out recently took me aback. Apparently our district manager had the bright idea to move the grocery crew, sans dairy and drug/gm, to overnights. The reason behind this is the dm doesn't want them to be in the way of the cust...

I have vacation this week, and when I went to check my schedule, it said I worked on Monday a 6:30 to 11:00, but I am on vac that week. Could I be written up if I just don't show that day? I'm considering just not showing up. I made a coy of my schedule in case they give me grief.

If 3 people within a dept all request the same day off, will eschedule automatically make the one with least seniority work that day? We've had days with 3 people off and our dept manager works it out by moving people around and having decent coverage, but will eschedule let this happen? I'm afraid th...

Is this thing a big of a disaster as I think it'll be? They just started that here and now instead of a regular service desk there's a roped off line thing for money services. So now when someone has an actual customer service problem they have to wait for the people using the store as a bank to get done? Or wh...

This new Esched is terrible. Everything worked before and now it is going to bring down the morale and make people quit. If you are a Lead or Dept Manager you have to work till 10pm once a week, and get later shifts? So basically if you are higher up in a dept then you are getting screwed. Its not worth the ext...

I finally had some seniority but a girl transferred from another store, and 4 people have been transferred from other departments to the fr...

Title says it all, I'm just wondering, cause there's all this Express HR stuff and HR info and all that, I'm wondering if there's a way to check when we're next needed for work, especially those of us who's schedules tend to be a bit fluctuating.

Let's get real. Kroger in the past was a good company to work for. I would not recommend working there to anyone now. The bottom line is their bottom line. Eschedule, department favoritism, horrible non engaging workers still getting all their hours. Kroger executives have way too much time on t...
