For a kid to have a fit inside the store? Last night I had this girl about 10 years old, start crying and pouting because her parents (grandparents? not sure) were going to order a small 1/4 sheet cake instead of a 1/2 sheet. Then, she wanted it to be pink with zebra stripes. I told her, the edible image is on...

Due to the mega event, the store was so crowded that we ran out of carts, and the kmart next door ran out of carts because our customers kept taking them (theyre too lazy to get...

Does anyone know how to take off the automatic donations to the United Way on their paycheck? I was donating every year $1 a week, but I noticed a $11 a week decline in my check and can no longer afford it. Usually they approach you each year to ask how much you would like to donate, but this year it was auto...

I put in my two weeks recently! I was just wondering how I go about collecting vacation pay I haven't used yet. Is it just added onto my last check automatically?

A cousin died and we're going to attend her funeral out of state this weekend, when I'm scheduled to work. Is there anything special I need to do?

I work in the meat department as a cutter and for the last three years management has been pushing me to go into management. They keep giving my name to corporate because apparently there are not enough meat managers to go around in the Kroger universe. I am very hesitant to go into management even th...

One of the new baggers , she only got 4 hours this week and everybody else , their hours just got cut in half . Well I came up the stairs and ano...

How do you deal with it? My coworker goes running to the manager for any little infraction. Even if you're not doing anything wrong, if she thinks you're doing something wrong she won't hesitate to tell on you. It's very annoying. You always have to watch yourself around her, but like I said, even if...

I have a question for you in terms of Walmart regarding what comanagers or store managers are trained in terms of having an employee call in sick. Do they typically just ingnore phone calls if you're trying to call in sick? I know a friend who is having problems right now and I know the store manager is a fo...

Well, my mom usually drives me to work, but when she got up this morning her car wouldn't start. I'm supposed to be at work at 2, but since she can't drive me as usual I have to wait for my dad to get home from work around 4:30. I called around 11 to tell them I wouldn't be able to make it in until around 5. I was sup...

So this week was my 12th straight week of working 35 or more hours. This week I was scheduled 32 hours. They needed help a couple days earlier in the week, so I willingly stayed after with the rest of the night crew, enough to where I started last night with enough hours to get over 35 for the week.. Out of no w...

I was just wondering how this worked. Are people with higher seniority than others in the same department allowed to take someone else's hours for a particular day? For example, can someone with high seniority that is working from 11:00-3:00 on Thursday take someone else's shift that is working 5:0...
