Okay I was just in the office at my store to make a sign for a special we have going on next week and apparently someone just gave their two weeks and left a note. I'm typing this on my cell so sorry for any mistakes.
Here is what it says:
Dear (manager's name)
I'm hereby invoking my 2 week notice as of today because I have drawn the line on the amount of workload one person as to do each day. As someone who works in the deli there is no reason I should be pulled out of my station every 40 minutes to do what other people should be doing. I did not sign on to this job to be a bagger, grocery clerk, overnight clerk, or to be in produce, yet in the span of 4 days I have been asked to work in each of these departments. My department head has complained to me numerous times about how I cannot complete my work, but this is not my fault, ITS YOURS! I have now chosen to put up with this issue for the remainder of my time; but as of August 30, 2019 my time with this company will come to an end. This is not my fault, its yours.

Well damn! Does this happen a lot at Kroger?
"Invoking?" Are they a witch? Who uses that word like that?
Sounds like my old store. The store manager there pulls deli clerks all the time to either help meat department, or produce, or run register, or really run any department other than the deli. The deli manager complains about it all the time, but she's told "her department is the only one in decent shape"....well it won't be if you keep pulling all her clerks!
The rumors have been going about for years now that they'll move him on out of that store, as there have been many many department heads quit or step down or ask to be transferred out of that store, but so far nothing has happened. I got out of that store about a month ago (got moved back to my original store) and have been much much less stressed ever since.

Haha, that's exactly what I was thinking.
But I'm not sure if this happens "a lot" compared to people who don't give their two weeks and one night just decide not to come in anymore. I'll be transferring stores soon, and will be giving a similar, if much shorter, note on the transfer sheet where it asks why.

Also, I'm not sure that was the correct application of the word, "invoke," either.

I think you've been watching too many of those supernatural shows on the CW network. There are other meanings to the word, "invoke" besides to cast a spell. It can also mean to put into effect or operation, to make an earnest request for, to bring about, to petition for help or support.

I was the one with the last two comments before yours. I was going by the dictionary definition when I suggested it was the incorrect application. There's a difference between "petitioning" or asking for something, and putting your foot down and making the call. I'm pretty sure invoke actually means the former, when the person who wrote that note evidently meant the latter.

to put into effect or operation, as in to invoke a privilege. The opposite would be revoke a privelege.

Sounds like mine, sounds like yours, because this is exactly how Kroger works its magical bullfeces and tries to save money on the bottom line.
At my store, the poor bastard who worked the dairy section, stocking milk, etc. - he's still there, by the way - i can't remember how many times they called him up to bag groceries because there weren't enough baggers / courtesy clerks 'on the line'. I don't see how or why he is still there almost four years later after I left. Not because he doesn't do a kick-ass job. He did and does. But I'd think his manager would have chewed him out by now on his work, since he would always have to lose 15-25 minutes [average] bagging at the front end instead of being where he needed to be at the time. Don't even get me started about Floral. In the 14 months I worked for Kroger, I think I counted at least 20-30 where Floral had no one at the desk because the person working the Department was up front assisting in bagging groceries. All because Kroger loves its ELMS and tries to save a dollar wherever it thinks it can at the cost of employee happiness and sanity.
