i work at a store in the cincinnati kma. and i have so many things going on in my store that just ticks me off, and i would like to share them with you all. i have been working for kroger for almost seven years and i have been in the same store the entire time. here are my major issues with the current employees and customers that are in my store all the time. first, i have huge problems with all of the favortism that goes on in my store. i cannot stand it!! the store manager favors the co managers and then the co amnagers have their faves, which are usually the people who they can easily push around or the people who are so far stuck up their butts it is pathetic. next, i cannot stand our uscan person. she is rude, loud, annoying and no one can stand her, although she thinks everyone is her "friend", who she uses to get dirt from to spread around the store. she is also a constant trash talker and is really nasty to our handicapped employees, who are scared to say anything about her b/c no one does anything anyhow (this has been brought up before and was ignored). she also has bad b.o problems and yes, i have personally left deoderant on the uscan desk to give her a clue. and not only that, but she is constantly in the front office and acts like she works up there, event hough she doesn't know how to do anything up there. and when people need help on uscan and she actually has do some work, she gets all mad and sometimes gets rude with the customers. no one will say anything to her b/c she has the most senority and no one wants to make her mad b/c she has the union rep stuck up her butt.
next, i absolutely hate my hrc. she does nothing but walk around the store with the floral manager and does nothing, literally, except answer phone calls she gets from people who ask about jobs. she constantly gets hours and pay mixed up and does not put anything in in a timely fashion. my asst csm at my store was shorted 24 hours for meetings she was in b/c the stupid hrc "forgot" she was supposed to put them in. not only that, but i personally did not get my maternity leave papers until three months after i asked for them!! and that was only because i called the hr office myself. she acts like she is better than everyone and sticks her nose up at everyone and everything. she also is glued to the managers hip b/c she thinks he can get a promotion for her. everyone in the store agrees that she is good for nothing but no one in management will listen to any of us "peons".
our photo lab manager does nothing to help anyone. she sits behind the photo lab area and does nothing but play online and play around on her phone. and when she is asked to help with anything, she gets mad and says she is "busy". yeah, busy with sitting around doing nothing! and b/c she is not part of the union, she acts like she is higher up than me and can boss me around (i do not think so!).
customer wise, i hate people who are ebt and wic. i can understand if you are a hard worker and still need help to get by. yes, i can understand that, but in the area i work in, it is like everyone and their moms do not work so they can get assistance from the gov't. i cannot stand it. people coming thru and getting $300 worth of free groceries with my taxees while they do nothing in their lives while i work hard for my check and have a hard time buying a box of hamburger helper sometimes. ugh!!
i hate customers who are rude and complain and act like we are the most stupidest people on the planet. or the people who yell at us for things that are not our fault (ex warehouse scratches). or people who blame us for the mistakes in the world.
