Bro Kroger need to find more people to hire. Like in our store today we had no C.C and all of the carts on the left side of the store was empty inside.

If Starbucks is closed due to lack of staff: Don't come harass the cashiers about it or the closest associate. We can't do squat about there being lack of staff. Before Starbucks became unionized we use to be able to pull staff from the deli now that they're in their own union separate from ours; we can't...

I have blocked her and reported it to the Union. Anyone know if one can block by name on Gmail, so they get a reject message when they try to contact me? The block I have has her emails going straight to my spam folder.

In 2021, there's a customer in a wheel chair that comes in to shop-usually buying a cart load of items. While I was working in the aisle, he will come to my aisle, stares at me, and once put his hand on my pocket claiming there's something on your pants (um, my apron and my chap stick)...his helper that come...

I filed a complaint thru the Union and to make a long story short the manager in question was "coached"-is that the same as an hourly employee coaching? Does something like this go on their employment record?

I've herd around fredmeyer employees that if your reported for sexual harassment you get 1 report; like a last chance to never do it again but if you do it twice your fired? Is that true?
