You are so right about that.Everyone at my store will tell you that's what is happening with them as well.I think they want the workers that have a lot of years working for them to leave so they can hire young kids for cheaper pay.I don't think the younger kids will last if they have to work as hard as we do .The e-schedule is really crazy.It has some people working till 10:00 pm when they use to come to work at 7:00 am and get off at 3:00pm and they don't get called up front to check or sack groceries so why do they need to stay there so late.I say they are trying to get rid of us.Alot of workers have already quit because of this bull crap.

Its a job get over it......

I feel sorry for all of you who hate kroger as much as I do. I'm a regular customer and it sucks. My wife won't let us shop anywhere else ("too expensive")

Here's why they thonk they can treat the employees this way- Most of the reviews by them on here have poor spelling and grammar. Should've went to college.

funny how all the smart people think people who work for Kroger didn't go to school.

Be a man shop where you want stop letting your wife boss you around.

I work at a Kroger store in cincinnati and I trt my best to be friendly. I mean I don't smile like a clown and talking like Barney the dinosaur. I get so much **** from managers and supervisors for not being barney the dinosaur. I have seen people's reactions to the so called customer engagement and they seem rather put off.

You really should learn to spell.

He thinks we're all a bunch of lowly, uneducated idiots because we work for Kroger?

You sir, are a douche.

In his defense, many of the actual customers of Krogers are douches.

Douches who put their shopping carts in the lobby rather than move them five feet to the line of carts nearby.

Douches who leave a cart in a parking space rather than walk 30 seconds to a cart corral.

Douches who pick up one item on one shelf and transport it to an entirely different area of the store ten shelves away. And oh yea, it's probably going to be an item that requires temperature control.

Douches who can't read and figure out what is on sale and what is not on sale.

I have been at Kroger for 7 years.  Iam not allowed to change positions.  I have asked so many times.  I am told I am to stupid to do another job.  I am called the deli retard.  I hate Kroger so much.  I have young children .  I can not find another job.  I would rather be dead than work for Kroger.  I have to feed my children.

I've been with Kroger 50 days, part time.  They schedule me for a 5 hour shift, then expect me to break down a truck, sort totes, stock my department, stock case goods and then condition.  All in five hours.  For $7.40 an hour.   If I don't get all of the work completed I will be confronted, but if I stay longer than my scheduled shift I won't be paid for it, regardless of whether I am still clocked in or not.  So they have crafted a situation where they receive de facto free labor.  It is impossible to complete the work in the allotted time but if I don't stay over and work for free, I will be fired. 

The Union is not interested in helping anyone.  In fact, it is in their best interest for you to become fed up with the company and quit, because every time an associate is replaced, that's another $50 bucks in entry fees for the union.  My rep has never made any effort to meet me, but has had no trouble in finding my paycheck.  It was also not mentioned during the hiring process that joining the union is optional. 

All in all I have been surprisingly dissatisfied with Kroger.  I was surprised to discover just how poorly-run the company is.  My co-manager is a very hands-on and hard-working person, and the company is chasing those kinds of people away.  We're increasingly blamed and criticized for the chaos that is the back room, although we have explained ad naseum that we continue to get mountains of back stock that we can't do anything with.  And every other day the truck brings more. 

They were initially understanding about this being a second job for me, and suddenly I am being scheduled all sorts of crazy back-to-back hours, as the end of my probation nears.  I try very hard to be a good employee and representative for the company while I am wearing the uniform, but I truly believe that they set their workers up to fail, then discard them like expired milk.

 Welcome to Kroger.
At least you are just a stocker.
Imagine what we go through with the hell that is Front End dealing under the same circumstances.
Plus you stay dry; we have to get the carts out in the rain.
But if it's a busy day we can only spare the two courtesy clerks to work the different halves of the parking lot.
I've had a few times where I have ignored the smaller entrance of the store to assist the courtesy clerk gathering carts for the main entrance.

Kroger is a company where 1 + 1 = 3 and even if you buy a new calculator and show them the mathematics, they will still dispute your results.

I had to produce tortillas - prep, bake and then package

then.... make pa annocements CONTINOUSLY

THEN do the pull and 

Then do dishes (left by bakery day time* then go on the floor and date the products (bakery manager)

responsibility THEN clean countertops, tortilla machine and THEN CLEAN FLOORS

AND PICK UP FOR THE IRRESPONSIBLE CAKE DECORATOR WHO LEFT HIS CAKES OUT DAILY AND

TAKE OUT THE TRASH!!!! 2-10 SHIFT PART TIME HOURS VARIED 35 TO 40

LOST MY DISABILITY CASE AND UNEMPLOYMENT DUE TO THE INCOMPETENCE OF THESE

STAFF MEMBERS.  THAT WAS ONLY ONE DEPARTMENT and got transferred to cheese then deli

servicing 300+ customers with only two people closing.

ALL FOR 7.43 OH EXCUSE ME 7.45 and hour forgot to put in my two cents raise.  The only good

thing Kroger's does for people is protect these people who think they can bully people out of jobs. 

that seems to be the only thing they do.  All these people do is complain about how nobody wants

to do the job (lower level) DO YOU BLAME US?  THEY WAY CERTAIN EMPLOYEES ARE TREATED?

DO YOU BLAME US?  that's ok because holiday's are coming up and hope your so overwhelmed full

of **** people!

MISPELLED CONTINUOUSLY

They are.... All of them

alot of what you say is so true.  I think Kroger's mentality is like a "gang" or something like oh it's just how humans want to think.  SO opposite of what work culture should be.  Part of the problem is "I know you or i'm related to so and so." so I can treat this person like this.  Childish huh? Walk into ANY environment and you'll see any diverse person thinking they are the ****. Guys fist bumpling and slaping hands women treating good working people like a disease if she doesn't adhere to the queen.  It's cruel, inhumane and I for one just shut the eff up cover my eyes and try MY BEST every day.   If someone doesn't tell you the truth then obviously we are part of the problem and NOT the solution.  Had enough am looking to work from home and just get my bills in order and limit myself to public places as American Consumerism has gone to s.h.i.t. 

the truth. 

A co manager recently cashed his bonus check , and the teller at the bank inside the store said his check was enough for him to live off of VERY COMFORTABLY for 3 months WITHOUT having to work at all!!! As I see co workers who are barely getting 10 hrs a week. How can the only cake decorator work 10 hrs. a week, yet be expected to keep the cake case full?? Our deli manager gave me permission to stay over one night to prep for the holidays ,  when the co manager saw me still on the clock , I was asked very angrily "why are you still here past your clock out time?" I told him I had permission from the deli manager to stay and prep for the next day for party trays. He said we are already over hours , you cannot stay , I said oh no we are not , the deli manager had already check the hours on the computer , and "e schedule" under cut us by 6 hrs , so there are 6 extra hours not being used. He got furious , and said LEAVE NOW , so I clocked out , the next day he threatened to have her demoted for telling hourly associates we have extra hours no being used. That means other departments , as well as stores company wide are under scheduling , and lying about it blaming e schedule. I have been with this company for almost 15 years this is crazy how things have changed. The bigger they get , the more like Winn-Dixie they get , and for those on the east coast , your remember what happened to them? Bankrupt That is what happens when a company gets too big for their own good they lose sight of the people who actually do the work. Our own store manager can't even put a roll of paper in the scales in the meat dept. Dumb ass doesn't know how.

I will tell you why Kroger sucks!..we have a union,but if you use it,they will NEVER forget it!..I am second man at my store.(meat dept)..and The meat manager only had 5 yrs with the company when they promoted him!..I have 12yrs..I even took the CBT tests for him to become manager!..this last Sunday he whent home Drunk!.I ran it by my self on the busiest day.then he made up the lost hours the next morning on his day off before we even clocked I at 7 am!..And the store manager doesn't give a ****!..they don't promote me cause I called the union 3 years ago!..and he even tells me that! I do appreciate my job buyt the politics SUCK

I have a degree in english literature,as well as 3 tech degrees yet they insist on keeping me as a courtesy clerk(aka bagger)I have been at this company for coming on to a year.I started out optimistic,it seemed like an ok company, I figured though with being paid only minimum wage I should not get my hopes up too high.I Made friends with some of my coworkers who had been their 10 plus years started out in produce,which I was doing fine until other employees decided they did not want to do certain jobs,so I was forced to overcome their shortcommings and yet still was transfered on account of(and I quoate) the manager of the department did not have the time to teach me about the rest of the department. Sooooo they didnt fire me no they moved me to fuel were I had to listen to a woman talk about her morbidly obese lesian partners ovarian cycsts and how her bladder bursts and was covered in fecal matter,while im working up there for 2 weeks,I come to find out it was illigal as an employee for them to place me on fuel when I have not operated a register for 2 months first,so they sent me up front under the assumption I would be trained as a cashier then moved back to fuel ,I have talked to my managers and they dont even know how old I am up here,they thought I was still in high school,I dont know how they got that assumption,have of their customers know me by name due to family relations,yet now as it isi have developed a tendon issue in my ankle and foot,and because im forced to rely more heavily on my other foot its now developing problems and I am litterally working with a severe hobble. which as of recently they have written me up for a 2nd time for (and I quoate) staring at flowers while on carts,this was the description used to describe my severe hobble up and down the parking lot leggally we are only supposed to take 6 carts,yet if we take less than 10 we get yelled at for being lazy,if it is storming with lightening they will fire you or strong arm you if you complain about workers safty, I have not complained myself I just work but other employees have been fired or required to leave due to the unfair way they have been treated,we have custamers walk in saying how they was wondering if they could request a retard to assist them because retards do not question what they are told. we have gone through 5 black employees since I have started just because our customers are racist,and file complaints using the word ****** boy or girl. I admittedly have come into work high before and still I work harder than most employees on the front end yet the harder I work toward trying to be moved to cashier they more intent they are at keeping me with manual labor.

Isn't that the truth.I can't even say how it is to this day.
