Management at my store takes the cake. After our deli department has lost four employees in as many weeks, and not replacing any of their shifts, they wanna tell us how to display sandwiches and salads. Were now not allowed to put our sandwiches or salads out with the pricetag facing the customer. I...

What all do you guys know about how they are calculated. Ive heard that the cubic feet of a shelf is a part of it. There is something seriously wrong with my store. My guess is the size. We have a small store with some of the best sales in the district. It's just hard to believe thats all there is to it. I know th...

Now that our vacations are over in grocery i got a total of 16 hours this week, and they had to move someone out of grocery just so he could obtain some hours. No wonder people opt for unemployment now days. I could make more money sitting at home doing nothing than i could working at this place. For the size...

Well today in the deli at my store, we only had four people plus the chicken person scheduled in the deli (the day before Memorial Day) and we were busy as hell! Of course as is the norm anymore at my store one of the two closers called in and the shift wasn't replaced. The only attempt to replace was to ca...

If Kroger as it claims, is making less than two cents on the dollar profit,How the hell can they give our CEO Dave Dillon a 1.4 million dollar raise? Something don't sound right to me.

A few weeks ago my store started where you punch the clock to do a store sweep. I was Ok with that. At my store we have 4 Utility Clerks. The Courtyesty Clerk does not do our work unless it's after 7 or no utility clerk for some reason. When we started this I was told to only do sweep and store. Today I was told we...

I have been a conditioner for the last nine months. They toss one person to condition in the mornings, the entire large store, which happens to be the district store. I can manage it to an extent if I almost kill myself, however it's not 100% perfection, but it's good enough for them to not fuss overly abo...

I have been with kroger 15 years now and in the last 5 we have really gone down hill -- key retailing they have been trying to get that in all the stores for 5 years or more now -- IT DOES NOT WORK -- now they want Cap where we keep the tables close to empty unless company is coming in and we fill it up if company is...

I had to open one day. At one point I was getting the trash outside. As I made my way to the compactor, I was paged when I just got there. I hurried up, chucked my load in, and got back up front. I got written up because I didn't drop everything and run back up. The person that wrote me up was already upset becau...

As you can see by my post count I am a newbie on the boards. Finally decided to get myself an account and associate a name with my posts for however long or short my stay with Kroger ends up being. My writing style may give my posts as anonymous, not that any of the three or so were that significant. Anyway,...

Since it's been asked what's the most difficult department to work in, I thought I'd ask what's the easiest department to work in?

Who fixes these machines? The one at our store sometimes it will not give drinks, Then the next person that comes along they sometimes will get 2 drinks and sometimes nothing lets just say it's broken. I fill the one at my store up and I have looked to see if anything was stuck or whatever I could not find an...
