My manager tells me I have to cut meat like strips, ribeye, and other steaks if a customer ask me to. But I don't get pay extra for it, I am stuck at 7.45 right now. I got mad and told him to find out from the union if I am...

Just 10% on Kroger Products... They can do better. My friend who worked at Panera Bread got a 65% discount! Even 10% on everything they sell would be good enough for me. Kroger products limits my options especially if the customers get to them first.

I was closing with another associate tonight and we have an advertisement special for Tbones Family Packs for $3.99 / lb with no extra help. Well, I ended up cutting extra Tbones to match the sale and a few other things for the cutting tool to complete my 3rd cut. Well, its around 5:45 PM that I had just sp...

Apparently the store scored an abysmal 67% on an audit, and either the same day/next day, they were told to pack their sh!t and would be a co-manager at a different...

I am a full time deli clerk who has worked for kroger for nine years. I applied for an instore drug gm position. I believe that the position was given to another employee with far less time at kroger. Should I file a grievance?

We recently had a major power outage on an end of town the Kroger store I shop at is; it lasted for over six night time hours. The store was on auxillary power for all of that, but with no registers/U Scans available. There were dozens of area hood rats literally filling carts with food, beer and liquor......

Well I go into work today in the deli for the first time in three months, and found out that after I came in our next person (not counting the chicken person) didn't come in for another 8 hours.

I am not sure if this is true. Maybe some of you have heard this. I was told the next wave (6 here in the Central Division) more department heads would be working the overnight/ third shift. I thought this sounds odd, has anyone else heard this.
