Hey all, I've only been with Kroger for about 6 months and this dress code is KILLING ME. I really would rather wear skirts than jeans in the summer since we can't wear shorts. Would that be allowed? And is there an easy way to find the official dress code? I don't think my boss would care as I'm nightshift and he's chill, never really cared when I customize my jeans (embroidery details, no cuts/tears)

Idc about looks or anything as I'm an openly queer man in rural Ohio, so that's not a problem. But anyway, can men wear skirts? Is there a place to find the official dress code? If it is out of dresscode would I be written up?

Anyone else having this issue? how can I afford my rent anymore on 22.50 a week. Me and my whole team about to walk out.

Anyone got any tips about this job or if it’s a good choice. Thanks!

I work on the service desk and a woman that I work with called in over a week ago and said she was in the hospital and wasn’t coming to work that day. She has not shown up again since then (8 days) and has not called in. She lives with her daughter and her daughter hasn’t called in either. Her name has not been put on the call-out log for any of these days. She did the same thing several months ago and nothing happened. She is old and sickly and I think managers feel sorry for her. Just wondering——- do no shows/no calls get recorded somewhere? Will she be fired for this? I don’t want to ask anyone about it at work. I’m just trying to stay in my own lane. But I am curious if there is policy on this.

So we have a full timer who is old school he does not listen . He Does not do the wet wall the Kroger way but does it his way he wants. every time he does the wrong way I get told to fix it. Sick of it in the next time I'm going refuse to do it. And I hope they send me home for not listening to them so I can call the union and get paid my 8 hours.

So I have worked at Krogers for years now. I was recently switched from Self checkout to clerk and I don’t mind it. But when the weather is getting hot that a problem for me. I know I sound like a whiner but to all other stores. Do you guys have only 1 clerk till 30 minutes when your shift is over?

Could I get fired? I started this job 2 weeks ago. I’ve only called off once and that was for a school reason. I was scheduled to work this week Monday- Thursday and I did. Which was the same schedule from last week. Now the app says I’m working sunday even though i had already been said to work only Monday- Thursday this week. I have a family member who also works at Krogers and she says I should pick it up because I could get fired and since I just got hired it’s a 90 day probation? I asked the manager she said call off or work or swap schedule.

Technically, I’m not fired. I am suspended upon investigation but knowing them they’re probably not gonna reach out to me anytime soon so currently I am looking for another job but long story short I got scammed of about $900. I know I was in the wrong and I wish there was something I could do about it, but the best thing to do is wait.

So Kroger, you want to know what I love about my job? I've got some answers for you!

1. What did I love about my job last week?

A: I loved every moment that I didn't have to be in this godforsaken hell hole where we continuously put lipstick on a pig to cover up for the fact that this store is severely understaffed or you just don't have good enough workers to manage it properly.

2. What did I not love about my job last week?

A: I didn't love the constant micromanaging that makes it difficult to actually do my job. You want some of the most meaningless tasks done by certain times knowing full well it has zero effect on our primary responsibility, which is to put fucking groceries on the fucking shelf!

3. What are my priorities for this week?

A: Taking back my work life balance. I'm putting my eight hours in and going home. If my tasks aren't all done then either hire some help or expect it to still be there the next time that I work.

4. How can you support me?

A: Hire some fucking competent bodies that are actually willing to work and don't spend half of their time getting high in the fucking parking lot. Maybe then I can actually get my job done instead of having to clean up after oversized fucking toddlers.

Wondering this Saturday I'm by myself opening with no supervisor or lead they both took it off together is this allowed? Im just a associate and I dont make extra money for delegating and making sure everything's ready?

I became a front end manager back in December. It’s been pretty good, I have worked in the front for almost 3 years now so I’m pretty used to how it runs. The thing that’s really bothering me is that sometimes they just won’t schedule people in dairy/grocery at night to recieve the loads and there’s this expectation for me to take care of it. They never warn me about it, the guy always just shows up and after paging dairy/grocery multiple times I realized there’s just straight up no one there. This had happened to me four times and the other night manager has done it about 20 times, though she used to work at walmart in grocery so she has experience. I have never worked a pallet jack and even when I try I am not strong enough to help the driver remove the pallets from the truck. Not to mention, im unfortunately physically disabled anyway which is why I work the front end. I just want to know if this is normal because they never once communicated this expectation with me. My lead manager had no idea and she’s quite livid about it.

Hey short question here. I worked for Kroger like 7-8 years ago now and I am back for some part time money on top of my main job. They pulled my old EUID and it is my deadname initials; I have transitioned and have legally changed my name and everything (license, social security card etc.) and I am getting conflicting reports saying it cannot be updated, that it can be updated maybe and that it can definitely be changed soooooo I'm not sure what's what with this. Everything else is obviously current but I do not use those initials anymore and it's super confusing

I started at my stores fuel center about a month ago after working up front for years. I’ve realized the sheer difference in priorities and attention management gives between the two departments and it’s insane. They seriously couldn’t care less about fuel

so I applied for the deli lead at another Kroger and I was super excited because I worked so hard at my store as a backup a lot bc the lead doesn't do s*** doesn't care about his job and still gets to keep it and I'm struggling so bad right now with money because my car blew up I'm taking Ubers to work and I need more money my son lives with his dad and he doesn't want to anymore but I can't afford for him to live with me so that's the reason why I need a better paying job so my Kroger doesn't have anybody in the deli that's worth a damn and I work my ass off come in whatever they need me and that was a lot I came in on my birthday I came in on my kid's birthday I canceled my vacation in the middle of it because the lead got sick I I literally work 6 days a week or more and at the interview the store manager told me that she would hire me right then and there but she has two other applicants and they might have more seniority than me and at that point it's out of her hands that she was really impressed with me and she can't wait to work with me but my store manager gave me a bad review and now I know I'll never be able to move up or anything and I am struggling so bad. how am I supposed to go back to work with motivation to do a good job to do my best to go the extra mile everyday like I have done since I started working there 2 years ago how am I supposed to go back and have respect for people who literally knew my situation and did not care about it at all they just wanted to make sure that they was good in their store not about me and my life and in what was going on . so how someone please tell me how I'm supposed to to work and be happy and do my do my best.

My Deli manager can’t stand me and the Bakery Manager told me she likes my work ethic and wants me to be an opener for her. I’ve always known bakers work hard and I watch them do it. But I also hear them laughing more than my coworkers and they appear to be a much more well oiled machine. Just wondering if anyone had any experience with this.

Hello, I current work as a personal shopper (decant/hi-lo) for a fulfillment center. I've been getting trained for icqa (quality) and was told I should apply. I don't see a listing on Kroger careers. I checked feed, fresh start, ukg etc. Anyone know the correct place to apply?
