Key Retailing is the worst thing Kroger has done so far in my career with the company. It makes me sad to see what they have made this company, Hell, even this country. I can work my Department just fine with out Key Retailing.....and until Key Retailing it was FINE. How can people who supposedly are retail leaders suddenly not know a damn thing about their business? The idiotic **** they think is important baffles the **** right out of me. Key Retailing doesnt do anything. I do not need signs where to put my back stock or where to  park my nine foot worthless u-boat that takes up way too much space in my cooler. I do not need to micro manage my time with a team stocking guide. I do not need to bag or check or go get carts in the rain or snow because the front end cannot schedule enough hours or utilize them properly beause of ELMS (another waste).  I do not need more **** to do and not enough time to do it. You know Key Retailing does not work when the MF'ERS who implemented the program in your store can't make it work or even explain it. So anyways I am off to the BLUEHAIRBALL....

Absolutely.  We as employees entertain the ridiculous ideas of Key Retailing.  The funny thing is is that when we fudge the numbers to meet the standards they do not even realize it.  I wonder where they come up with this stuff.  Whoever was the brain behind Que vision needs to be relieved of their position.  If you need a screen to tell you to open another lane then we are already beyond help!  There are many times the Que vision tells us we need three lanes open and there is no one in line.  I realize I am not the sharpest crayon in the box but even I can handle this one!  They need to rely on the employee to do the job they hired  us to do.  If they want a computer to do the job then let them.  I can tell you one thing, I spend an hour of my day correcting the outrageous mistakes cao makes.  I am counting the days until I can tell this company bye bye.

Quit QQing about your job your just mad i can tell by your all the mistakes in your writting seriously grow the **** up

I'm an employee in Ohio.  When I started at this store three years ago we had 8 employees stocking at night time.  We now have 3.  It is impossible to do the same ammount we used to with this few of employees.  Then each morning I get the treat of being yelled at for holes on shelves that would be filled if ELMS gave us more hours.  To top it all off, today it was announced that thirty-five more hours would be removed from my shift.  That's two people remaining! There used to be eight!  I wish the public knew how many employees are losing their jobs in these tough economic times, while people in upper management are getting six figure raises.  Their salary is already enough to pay our whole store for a year.

Ha you work at Kroger! He He Haw!

you might want to move to another store your store must not be doing well im in a signature store tier 2 and we go so much overtime it aint funny its all about the local  economy your location must suck

But i do agree krogers is ****ed up and getting worse i used to love to work their no i have to force myself to get through the day

And the unions suck worse they work for krogers not the employees

kroger central division is such dicks to there employees. They wanna cuts hours but they want **** done and done fast. Tell how when i started there a year ago we went from haveing five employess for eatch department down to two or three. I guess the ceo really wants his pay greety basteds.

But anyways kroger central the indiana division just sucks to work for.

Kroger has now become a s.h.i.t hole to work for they over work there empoyees they give them no help no hours. Its like what the f.u.c.k i feel bad mostey for the utility clerks they are treated like s.h.i.t over worked under paid and just mainly kroger's b.i.c.h all the **** work gets dumped on them. Kroger acts like there doing the world for there empoyees by makeing a fancy brakeroom for them . Stop waseting money on dumb s.h.i.t like that and and give the empoyees hours more help means stuff done on time wicth means more product on the sheves for the consumer to buy.

listen bro - its what you make of it man.  yea sure, work sucks.  we all know that.  hell, i much rather be at home watching Judge Judy and the Price is Right.  But I got to pay the bills.  we all go punch in and do a bunch of medial tasks for 8 hours then go home.  i could really care less what i do for them 8 hours as long as it is legal and not having me go into a sewer full of s.h.i.t.

so bitch all you want.  that is what this board is sorta all about.  the utility clerks took the job knowing their pay.  hell they may even love it!  i bet some if not most do.  the ol' dude who does it at our store seems quite content pushing his cart around, mopping the break room, changing out garbage cans and sticking his hands in the toilet.  more power to him!  i love my breakroom for all its worth.  to me its a little oasis to go to during another dull day of drudgery working at good ol' kroger.  so is kroger a s.h.i.t hole?  maybe but what company isn''t

naw - i got a wife.  but the day i wrote that i was feeling pretty good. now today i hate kroger.  see i jump from one degree to the extreme opposite so damn quick.  whats wrong with me!!
