Clerks are being taught to look for empty spots and go fill product instead of just take a wheel out on the floor and fill it. A few hours later spot is empty and scan show 1 being sold that day. Not talking about grocery or drug gM.
You know what, it isn't always about lazy clerks. Yes there are a lot of crappy lazy entitled "we can't be fired" employees, but the "make the store aisles look good" conditioning isn't always their fault. It is about the corporate outside store people and their visits where everyone gets chewed up and spit out when there are holes. It's about trying to keep your stuff looking good because you know corporate doesn't really care about you having enough employees or hours to do what they are requiring. At this point it is about trying to keep your job and making the corporate "out of touch and out of their mind" people happy for the current visit.

Exactly. The stores are understaffed and over worked because the company geniuses have ruined the companies rep by creating an atrocious, prison, slave labor camp like culture which translates into a poor reputation via reviews, word of mouth etc. Yes unions are a problem if it's way to hard to fire terrible workers because human nature is to get away with as much as you can and do as little as possible. It's a combination of things. We have a store here that just lost their ENTIRE stock crew over about 10 days.. You can guess as to why. We also have a DM who is absolutely demotivating and demoralizing. (but they will never discipline or fire him unless he murders someone - maybe) I look for more and more ppl to leave as soon as something better comes along like for example - swimming with great white sharks..bathed in blood..
Having to come in on their day off and Actually fill the case. Show the department head, and have them look at me like they could give a flying ****
That's another huge issues - lack of appreciation.."Nothing is ever good enough" turns into resentment and apathy and large turn over rates which Kroger is dying from., - ppl don't just work for tangible benefits - appreciation goes a LONG way. Something Kroger in general is very bad at.
