Hi, I've recently inquired about getting into this position. I would like a little info about how the accounting process goes down and what things I should prepare for. If anyone has any experience please state what it's like and your likes/dislikes about the position.

there were two posts on this forum about kroger reducing hours on part timers due to obamacare. The sources these two posts cited were conservative websites where one actually cited the other. So there is only one source that makes this claim without citing anyone from kroger. The Doug Ross journ...

I've heard some of the baggers talk about making more money through tips so they're happy to help customers to their cars. They probably make more money they I do as a cashier. I don't know the company tipping policy if there is one.

So yeah, just got hired as a courtesy clerk a few days ago, so far, I really love the atmosphere, most everyone is real friendly and helpful as heck, but I have a few questions for y'all :) 1) Any tips to make cart pushing easier? I'm not particularly strong, and they assigned me to push them for a good 2-3 ho...

Is there a way I can make a complaint about a co-worker in a more anonymous way? I'm not a higher up, he's at my level so I can't really bitch to him about not getting something done and expect it to work. This worker in particular hasn't been keeping up with his responsibilities for a while and it has crea...

Here we are at the end of the year, and at my store they have spent a good chunk of money on trash cans bolted to the cart stalls. Seems to me that they are trying to get a tax write off or something? In 8 years I've never heard of any store having trash cans on the cart stall, nor have I heard of any demand for th...

I can't believe the Christmas Party is now up to $25 with no couple discounts, yet serving the same food year after year. If we're paying $25 let's bring on the steak seriously!

Is it true that you're not allowed to take your break in your final hour? I'm stuck behind a bunch of people who apparently hate taking their breaks, but whine if you ask to go on break ahead of them "I was here first and I haven't had mine yet!" (they usually end up not taking them at all.) I go on...

Does anyone else have this? They put a TV in the breakroom at my store. KTV is connected to it but also they put a TV antenna on the roof of the store. I was in the breakroom when they scanned for channels. It got 11 channels. I guess it's mainly for KTV and they decided to put regular TV I guess it does not cost t...

I have not had a vacation and my manager said I might not get one. Can the company get fined for not giving me a vacation. Especially if I am a minor.
