Our contract says that you get paid time and a half on the sixth day but only if you work six CONSECUTIVE days in a week. Does it matter if you are full time ? I thought working on a sixth day would be overtime whether it was consecutive or not since you are working over 40 hours. I am confused.

For real, control your damn kids, the grocery store isn't a playground. If i had a dollar for every time a loose kid darted out from some random isle while i'm hauling a full pallet of water i wouldnt have to work here any more. Lol even at a slow pace that stuff isnt possible to stop on a dime. Oh another thin...

Well, after being asked and asked to become one by management/other front end supervisors and the CSM for a little over a year and a half now, I've agreed to become one and everyone is excited that I'm going to be one (one supervisor told me I'm already better than some of the current supervisors and I'm n...

So I was wondering how much notice dose management have to give you before they make a schedule change? I can tell you that at my store the schedule is posted every Friday by noon, now I have worked for Kroger for 10 years, full time 40 hours a week and never had this problem until I transferred to the store I...

Just wondering how the Union and Kroger (since they both bargain the contract) can justify the fact that every associate starts out at minimum wage, even though the job responsibilities are so different. For example, a deli clerk who has to run the slicer, bake chicken in the oven, fry chicken in the f...

This job basically kills any social life i had before i started and if it wasn't for the fact i've only been working here for a month i'd quit. Some of the people i work with are ok but can't stand the customers or how much it hurts my back and legs halfway through a 4 hour shift.

Rumor has it that if you ever want to go into management at Kroger that you are not allowed to be in the union. Rumor also has it that once you're in the union, you can NEVER get out, which means you will never be considered for management. Does anyone know if this is this true? I would hate to sign a piece of pa...

I heard it was illegal for them to have only one person to clear the lot at night by themselves, however our Kroger's only has one bagger past 10. Is it really illegal? I feel incredibly uncomfortable going out there by myself when it's around 11-12

Something must be wrong. At our store all full time people have 32 hours instead of 40 and most part time people who have not been laid off have 15 hours.
