Every now and then we get a customer who's a jerk and the first phrase out of their mouth is "I want the fresh product from the back." 1 you're a jerk and 2 if you're not polite about it and rather rude, we'll eventually cut you off from this service. It's one thing to be a rarity but if you ask every damn time y...

I did finally prove it that my store manager was schedule harassing me and discriminating against me and union did crud about it. Then wrongfully sided with the manager but if I file an eeoc claim they'll obviously side with me. If it resumes again I will file an eeoc claim for harassment and discrimina...

The rep that took my call said it would be "forwarded to the company"-she did not say it was forwarded to the store that I filed on or to my current store. What does Corporate do when an EP complaint is receieved? I have never been able to get an answer from someone that knows the actual procedure(s)

This past Friday management was telling everyone who had accumulated overtime for the week to cut their hours on Saturday. Don't let them do that. They are not allowed to change the schedule once the work week starts. I personally hate staying over. So if I have to stay over 15 minutes here or 30 minutes...

I hate to say it but kroger expects a certain level of professionalism between it's staff. My coworker let his anger and roth take advantage of him again and he lost it with our lead and a few other people.

When other people in my department go on vacation, management says we can't have any extra help to replace that person. I end up with a lot of overtime. I hate overtime. When my eight hours are up, I want to go home. When I go on vacation, they bring in all kinds of help so everyone can go home on time. Ev...

Someone decided that we need to have a couple boxes of variety donuts already boxed up and put out on one of the tables. It's one thing to box up leftover donuts at the end of the day. It's quite another to box them up before customers have a chance to pick their own variety. The people running the compan...

This is the second walk where our lead was a total disgraceful bastard dick the whole day. I'm going to start calling out for walks if this is going to be the new normal for our department.
