Probably won’t be working for Kroger anymore but um don’t go to the Starbucks

This is back in 2023 I left for 2 weeks for medical and I came back to this note I was the only person who ever did any type of cleaning and maintenance and I wasn’t a lead or supervisor… and I literally had to argue to throw the machine away because mold and plastic is a big no no

Fresh for everyone!! Ha, gotcha!

Anyone else have a Kroger that thaws out their "FRESH" seafood that goes in the meat and seafood case? This company absolutely cracks me up how they claim everything is fresh and high quality but then uses frozen product thawed out by running water over it to put in the fresh case 🤣🤣 Tilapia currently thawing out nice and fresh 🤣🤣 and you can see the multiple bags of shrimp and salmon that have already been done this fine morning.

Fuck you Mark

Mark is my store leader, Im moving out of my place and I told my management the start of June and when I get a store transfer to the point where the store leaders need to communicate, he flakes me so hard. He yells at me and threatens to fire me because I simply told him I need him to do what is within reason for him. I've gotten my Union rep involved and suddenly he's on the same page instantly. Tl;dr: fuck mark, do your job you short bald nepo baby. No body likes you and the bakery and my department all make fun of you

Surprise ! Your chicken grease trap outside has been gone for 3 days and you’re left to figure it out !

Like seriously where even is it ??? 😭😭😭 I’ve been here for three years and never had to deal with this. The worst part is we don’t even have lids for our buckets , so they genuinely are just stuck.

So inhumane

Im juat curious if anyone else has this problem. I work in the pick up department and a few of us have gotten in trouble for drinking water in the backroom instead of immediately going to shop another trolley. I have heard our lead tell someone to stop drinking so much water so she didnt have to go to the bathroom. And I once asked to take a break ( 10 mins I never take a break because when I was a csm I wasnt allowed) but I asked because my blood sugar was low due to a medication I take and was gonna pass out, my lead rolled her eyes and was like "I mean I guess you can" I quickly at something in r mins to get back to the floor. This is a huge problem at the store I work at. And thats just the problem that I know is a huge violation of just human rights. We shouldnt have to feel afraid to be a living human. But does anyone else have this problem?

Holiday Pay

Hello everyone! I’m new to this sub and I’m also new to Kroger. Been here for a little over 2 months. With that being said, I have a question about holiday pay. Earlier this week, I noticed that today, I would be getting paid double. It said 8 hours but now it says 0 hours. Is this a glitch or do new hires not get holiday pay?

How screwed am I?

Got short with a customer and they said they plan to report me to a manager, haven't been reported because my supervisor handled the customer. Im wondering what the chances are of this biting me in the ass or me getting written up or something? What should I expect?

Stickers on the Pump

Even though I think this is funny (I understand that isn’t everyone’s opinion). But god I hate taking them off the pumps, some come off clean and others don’t want to come off without a fight.

Anyone else have to grill in unbearable heat?

Deli is grilling for the 4th of July weekend and in Ohio temperatures are reaching over 100 degrees with a “feels like” of around 110 due to humidity. My poor assistant manager was out there all day yesterday and then today she started to feel sick so she went home early and I went out and covered for her. Being out there for only 2 hours was insanely hot I don’t know how she did it for a full shift. I was rubbing crushed ice all over my arms just to keep cool lol. Glad I’m off tomorrow because fffffffffffff that 😭 I only pray my AM is also off.

What in the Willy Wonka….

A friend of mine was like “hey want to try one?” I don’t normally go for the limited edition flavors of any brand of chip (usually Lay’s is the front runner there) but I decided to try one of these.

Crazy.

i wish we could just shut down the pickup department

today was the worst day i've EVER had as a pickup person. even worse than memorial day. we had all kinds of promotions going on, sales, etc, all while the 4th of July rush is hitting the store i work at really fucking hard. i had to give up one if my trolleys for the first time ever to the ASL because i couldn't finish it in time because people were either in the way, we were out of the item, or we were so busy that no one was on the ither end of the walkie. we also set a new record for how many orders we had in one day, which was nearly 500 when i clocked out at 4:30 😇. i truly wish we could just shut it down early because of how many orders we had. i've never wanted to smoke before, yet i was craving a cig when I clocked out lmfao.

plus its just hot as fuck, the AC is busted, and people keep cramming themselves into the tiny ass store, and being stupid as hell. i've watched so many people cut me off in the mkddle of an aisle when i'm doing a trolley, and so many other people stop me to ask questions about something that was right in their face. not to mention that we are so out of stock, some balances are showing negatives. my times are soaring because of how long it takes to get through the store because there are so many people. i just hope my tiny shift tomorrow isn't that bad (i'm coping) and i'm glad i get to go home and do fuck all now.

First time ordering Kroger delivery as an employee.... It sucks

UPDATE: The order was finally delivered 8 hours later. It was delivered in a kroger delivery truck. Unfortunately, literally half of my items were missing (even though the appeared on my final receipt). Really poor experience :(

I work in customer service (used to be a cashier). I have never ordered delivery before simply because I don't wanna pay the delivery fee. However, there was a free delivery coupon and I am out of town at a friend's house with no car, so I decided to do delivery! I ordered groceries to be delivered between 9:00-10:00am through Kroger delivery (not Instacart). 3pm and still no delivery. Not even any updates. I call customer service, nothing. Chatbot online, nothing. Can't even get a human to answer. It sucks because I am sure that they are just overworked (it's the day before July 4th!!), and I totally understand what it's like to work during holidays, but it sucks that they won't even give the option to just notify customers that the order is delayed. We've canceled plans twice today because we're afraid the groceries are going to get delivered while we're not home and the $80+ order will go to waste.

Again I am not blaming any of the employees (as an employee I totally get it), but the company should 100% do better about making sure customers can get notified if the order is going to be hours and hours late. This is the kind of stuff we have to deal with at the customer service desk, and it could be avoided if the company actually cared about customers and just gave people an update so they wouldn't have to call and blow up our phones. I've heard so many people complain about our delivery but I always just chalked it up to whiny customers, but now I kinda get it :(

I still have no idea when or if my order will be delivered. And honestly I'm not mad it's delayed; that's not an issue. Just frustrated that I can't leave the house without worrying about wasting a bunch of food. At this point I would even be fine with canceling the order because I know people are just busy, but I cant do that either! Sucks!
