My department head is getting rediculous. Yesterday he was bitching about the truck not being done. The truck was two hours late, hours were cut more than usual. Last night we were short handed as we always are on saturday night. We left an aisle and a half and blue totes unfinished. Now here is the good p...

I actually have some previous experience in the IT f...

I feel like a complete newb even though I've been with kroger for a few months now. I'm reading all these topics about 'checking your contract' and 'read your union book' and I feel like I'm part of a different company because I've never received a union book and have no idea how to access my contract. Is i...

I called in sick on monday with 1 hour, 45 minute notification prior to the start of my shift (only needed 1 hour notification). Today I got called upstairs and they were going to write me up for a no call, no show. Apparently there's a new procedure that front end people have to call the highest ranked man...

I'm about to start working at Kroger and was wondering if they allow facial hair? Since I can't have it during the school year, I'm growing it out now in the summer while I can.

I'm just curious if any one else works at a store that suffers the same kind of problem we've been having as of late. We used to have six motorized shopping carts for our elderly/disabled shoppers. Now we have three. Occasionally, we would get a phone call from a resident informing us someone had left on...

Ok, I am on one of my days off (reduced hours, not regular day off) and in my store purchasing something with my debit card when this customer decides to get up close and personal.

Seems like every time I hit up the old Kroger's, I get to hear this ditty on the PA. I'm glad I don't have to hear that crap several times a shift. Oh, and on an unrelated note (slightly), I've noticed a High Five board or some such on the front end of my regular haunt, I think it has to do something with OSAT's?...

Hi, I just recently applied to Kroger on Saturday the 15th of June. I called on Monday and the hiring woman told me that they have received my application. How long would it take for them to call me for an interview? Or what are the chances of getting a job?

I found out just days before the esche...
