Like last year if i get stuck unloading a truck of 400 trees with a slow fat guy and a disabled co-manager, will be my last day. They better get their money's worth of labor up until thanksgiving. Cheap bastards.

how high does your store get at my store the current high score gets into the 110's but before our best cashiers all left we could get 150's at the highest our older full time cashiers score in the 70's-80's

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...

Found out that a few weeks ago the Unit Manager of the local store (south of Indy) was demoted to a co-manager after a bad Key Retailing visit. 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.
