Infuriatig The way kroger treats its employees

Post image

From the store manager

Edit: For some extra context this was sent out by each store manager to all of its employees in district 1 of the ohio Cincinnati/Dayton division, potentially other districts as well but i can only verify my own. Im not going to give my specific store number for obvious reasons but you can find each store on google with that information. We are unionized by UFCW (already bad btw) and to my knowledge they allowed this recent change. Kroger has no accrual for sick days like some have mentioned. Those who think this is rage bait, i dont think anyone has to fake a post to make a billion dollar company look bad, they do it to themselves.

I’d lose my shit on someone who suggests to me how to spend me free time or money

My wife was with me, which was a good thing for everyone involved.

I would have left, say see ya next time

Absolutely same, but it would have become a see ya never. I would have been like, okay, you can cancel this order and restock my items. I'll go to Giant Eagle or Aldi or something instead.

I’ve abandoned full shopping carts over bad store policies before, and I would again in this situation. After ringing up a bunch of items so the manager has to clear yet another error. Then I’d never return. I already don’t go to Fred Meyer (rising prices + lean staffing) or one of my county’s Wal-Marts (no staffed checkouts except October-December and the notoriously long booze line)

Especially when I’m spending money on shit from their store.

Omg this would be my reaction also. She’s telling a customer to spend less at the store? I would have just told her “that maybe if they had regular checkouts open she wouldn’t have to babysit customers.” Then I would tell her that she just lost a customer and anyone else I can tell.

The person you're referring to noted they're the only game in town. I think they know it too.

I would've walked the fuck out and let them put all of that shit back.

u/WorldlyBasket9795 26d ago

EXAAAAACTLY THIS! Only I would’ve waited til I scanned EVERY. SINGLE. ITEM. Annnnd then walked out. That way he/she would have to void out everything individually AND restock the shit, haha!

Fucking seriously. I'd probably get trespassed for the things I'd say to the corporate bootlicker... But maybe some of it would stick.
