I hate my time sick time accruing. It's hella slow.
(Preview)
On the old esced website, the sick pay equation would average 8 hrs for every 40 worked. On this new system it sucks. I average 32 hrs a week and I only gain about 1.25 hrs for every 8 hrs worked. It would take a year of not calling out once to accrue a full damn bank. I did call the union about this when we first s...

Can you file a grievance against a co-manager who is constantly telling your leader and back up leader you're not doing your job even though they both know you are?

Beth at L-346 in Louisville is a witch
(Preview)
In my 30 plus years with Kroger I have never dealt with a more hateful person than she is. She used to work at Walmart and she said she fired someone who had worked there over 30 years, and she was smiling when she said it.

What was Christmas Eve like in your store?
(Preview)
Our 6PM close went very smoothy. One of our managers was turning away people that wanted to come in literally at the last minute to shop. Announcements were made aprox 45 minutes before closing and every 15 minutes our FES would do a reminder. I swung by Publix when I got off (they closed at 7PM) and I left...

Glad scheduler is saying no more preferential scheduling. This is what got our old manager in trouble.
(Preview)
Finally some success in our store where the old manager began encouraging preferential scheduling. After numerous ethics reports for gender discrimination it was another nock against him and what got him fired in the long run. Unless an individual's restrictions generate a specific schedule, y...

Getting tired of cultures that price barter or take advantage of mark downs.

I've repeatedly had to put my foot down about the rules about why we can't modify, change or "make up a price" on items. I've had to repeat crack down on repeat offenders who take advantage of mark downs to the extreme. I don't mind doing this from time to time but each time you come in is getting old and irri...

We got Valentine candy in three weeks ago, before we even got through Christmas. Today the bakery got in 50 cases, give or take one or two, of Valentive cookies, cupcakes, brownies, and heart shaped cakes. Valentine's Day is 46 days away. That's nearly seven weeks away. It was so much better when w...

What do you do in this scenario? A. Show up to work during your normal time frames if you work a repetitive schedule? or B. don't sho...

Our sales are down 24% compared to last year

Kroger will say it's our fault, but we've had the product out and shelves have been full for the most part. If something that's been ordered doesn't come in, that's not our fault. It's also not our fault when Kroger discontinues products and replaces them with inferior ones. Data for our store show...
