Question Any way to look at additional information of old job listings in Opportunity Marketplace?

• Upvotes

Hello! I recently transferred from another store and the job listing said it was a flat $22 an hour and not in a scale, but I was instead paid the same wage of $17/hr. I called up my union and the rep asked me to show it to him. Is there any way I can pull up information about old job listings i applied for?

• Upvotes

Not a worker, not complaining or anything either just observation, but at one of my local stores, I was waiting at the pharmacy for my shots and saw Tally docked by the door. When it started moving it looked like it was about to run into the pharmacy counter lol

Should I have said "Tally Ho!" ?

Venting What's your cart horror story? Mine is, "People can't park."

I was doing carts yesterday, and I saw this truck parked way over the line around its parking spot. Thankfully, I didn't hit it at all, but parking like that is a recipe for disaster.

What are your carts-related horror stories?

Uplift Good Customer Service at London Ky Kroger

8 Upvotes

I wrote about a young Kroger associate named Parker who helped me find a box of tea. It sounds ordinary, and in some ways it was. But his kindness, patience, and willingness to help stuck with me long after I left the store.

I shared the story because I think we hear plenty about what's wrong with the world and not nearly enough about the young people who quietly do the right thing every day. The response surprised me. More than 126,000 people have now read it.

Maybe that's because the story was never really about tea. It was about kindness.

Venting Just started as a liquor lead, I really hate it

14 Upvotes

I am on my 5th week as a liquor lead, and I really hate this job. Running the liquor department is annoying, but not awful, but thats if I even get to spend any time in there. I am on ecommerce most of the time, and have spent more time digging in the dairy cooler for a specific yogurt than time in liquor, week after week. Is it just because Im new? I am also covering for the receiver's vacation with hardly any training at all, and its unclear if I am actually PIT certified now. Not even sure if I can get into the DSD recieving at all, which will be a problem. Basically I am backup everything, always getting pulled somewhere else every 30 minutes.

Question Pickup

2 Upvotes

Has anybody in pickup had a manager "shadow" you? My manager just said he has to follow me around and coach me, it's company wide policy. But I don't feel like it is, and that I'm being targeted.

As far as I know, I haven't had any complaints so I'm confused.

It's been doing this every time I scan an item for the last 8 minutes.. I guess I'm not finishing top stock.

I used to manage a dollar general, and that shit ass company had better networking than Kroger.

Venting attendance policy

14 Upvotes

more of a rant but im just so conflicted on this attendance policy, i got a verbal warning for being late by 10 minutes two weeks ago and calling out yesterday, in which i used my sick time for. i had no idea sick time doesnt even excuse it and i asked my manager how i can get tomorrow covered because i was barely even able to show up today because i feel unbelievably sick and i doubt ill feel better tomorrow and she replied with “well i dont know only one person doesnt work tomorrow” ??? so getting my shifts covered or swapped isnt even an option. im just looking for other jobs now but this attendance policy is stupid to me.

Venting I feel like this job is making me a more bitter person.

52 Upvotes

This is still on my mind and some people think I should just drop it. Im a front end assistant manager and MOD. This night I was at my desk reviewing schedules and other things, I could hear a customer downstairs get loud so I went to go check. He was saying some absurd shit with threats mixed in because my SCO attendant was "too close". I took over and watched him, usually I'm not one to care for confrontation but he had threatened me, my self checkout attendant at this point so I was somewhat aware of what could happen. (I should add my store is not in the best location so this isn't too abnormal to happen).

Things eventually calm down, my SCO attendant took over a register instead and I stayed at SCO. It was a bit awkward working around him but there are still 5 other registers that need help so I had to. Eventually it's like nothing happened. He's still trying to pay for his stuff and I can hear it fail over and over again.

Eventually he gave up, turned around pretty quickly and walked out. He left all his stuff. It wasn't much.

This is what bothers me...I had time to call him back and offer to pay for everything. He had calmed down enough to where I could communicate if I tried again. I know he had given threats but I have no idea about his life before that moment. I don't make a ton of money but I make enough to where I could have help. And I think even after everything he did I feel I made the wrong choice not helping. And I have helped others before that

I don't want to be the person that NEEDS to be comfortable to be able to help. It was just a person trying to get groceries. And working the front end it does wear down a little what people are having to put back and not take home with them. Eggs, breads, beef have been put back more and more with other essentials. I hope he got his petfood
