I'm sorry you have a shitty job, saving for college?

>>3869602
Yep and to pay bills, im thinking of becoming part of the night crew because they don't do anything. Not to sound like a douche but my job is pretty much the worst one available they're.

>they're
never mind about college, kid

how much do you make? how many hours a week?

>>3869613
TBH warehousing tends to pay better, has better hours and you don't deal with customers. How I did it myself.

>>3869615
I make around $8.50 an hour and i usually get like 40 hours a week. But if its the middle of the month my hours are cut because we are not as busy, and for some reason we hire like 2 new baggers a month even when we have to many already.

I always use the self checkout and bag my own food at Kroger. Does it make you feel obsolete when customers do this?

>>3869627
Less work i gotta do. Also we just got our self checkout like two months ago so nobody uses it because everyone's lazy as hell.

>>3869594
why do you high school fucks always forget my food? and also you guys suck at bagging. kill yourself.

>>3869634
I would suggest self checkout for people like you. Also the bags we get fucking suck, one out of five usually rip.

>>3869640
if i want to bag my own food, i'd be down at the farmer's market. kroger bags are no worse than walmart bags, which is to say, they're fine. the kroger here is renowned for lazy ass service and overpriced foods. i can't wait for walmart to open down the street in 2014.

My local Kroger has 8 of the large self checkouts with the rotating bag holder, and 4 of the smaller, 15 items or fewer self-checkouts. There are only 2 or 3 actual, clerk operated lanes open at any given time, and they all close after about 9 or 10pm. Self checkout only after that time.

Of course a few months ago they began upgrading to the new Kroger Marketplace layout. I'm assuming your store is smaller?

>>3869641
yeh we have a walmart right across from us, i was gonna apply their for a job instead but i heard that walmart treats its employees like shit.

>>3869646
yeh its not to big but its the only grocery store in town besides walmart so were expanding, we used to have a foodlion but it shut down.

I sometimes buy Prestige brand liquor. Is that a Kroger generic brand? I've never seen it anywhere else.

>>3869651

To be only a moderately sized city we have a WalMart, Kroger, Save-a-lot, and a Meijer. We had a Food Lion, a Winn Dixie and an E.W. James in the past but they all closed.

>>3869657
I dont believe it is.

>>3869659

>>3869647
i'm sure they're on par with kroger in terms of carlessness, but that goes hand in hand with cheap prices. god i miss wegmans.

>Kroger

I don't know where you're from, OP, but that word sends up red flags around my parts. Krogers tend to only be found in ghettos and hoods, around here. Same with Sav-way and Compare Foods.

I work the same position as you, OP, but in a store called Sweetbay. Ask me anything, if you want to know about our policies in comparison to yours or anything else.

>>3869736
Nah, Kroger is pretty common in the mid/southeast US. They definitely market to an upscale crowd, depending on location.

>>3869815

They're in lots of other places too, but marketing under a different brand that was traditional to the area (though these stores all carry generic Kroger-named products. Examples are Ralph's in SoCal, Fry's in Arizona, Smith's in Northern Arizona, Nevada, and Utah, and Fred Meyer and QFC in Washington and Oregon.

does your neck have a beard on it?

Stay in school, kids.

>>3869815
The ones here have pretty good beef cuts, and it's pretty much the only place around to get bison meat.

Sup fag.

>>3869911
It was like that at the supermarket I worked at.

We'd leave half our checklist for morning shift to do and make it like we didn't have enough time. They'd bitch to our supervisor, but he gave zero fucks.

>>3869815
>upscale crowd

All the upscale crowds shop at Publix.

How come everybody that works at Kroger is either black or retarded?

>>3870238

How come you sound retarded?

Kroger employee nightcrew reporting in
Be prepared to put shit on the shelf for 8 hours and get bitched at all the time if you do it wrong, also meet your times, be efficient or prepare to get a write up

>>3870401
Do you ever have any penisary contacts with the produce?

>>3870362

I'm thinking it's due to his use of the phrase "how come", which isn't proper English and sounds unintelligent.

Not even once.

Do you live in Kentucky? 502 fag here.

>>3869613
I worked night crew 4 years ago, I was 17 at the time and thought a night shift would be so great because I was an antisocial fuck like you at the time. Worst job I ever had. Two nights a week I literally spent my entire 8 hour shift walking up and down the aisles and pulling product to the front of the shelves and making it look pretty.

The entire store. Alone.

FUCK. I get mad just thinking about it. Keep the job you have, at least you get to interact with people. Or don't listen to me and do it anyway. You will appreciate getting to interact with other humans even faster that way.

That kind of a shitty attitude. Kroger is one of the last stores that have an employee union. Maybe it is shit nowadays, i don't know, but its definitely not a walmart.

Be careful what you wish for, you might end up re-employed by someone who pays less and cares even lesser.

fellow kroger bagger here, kentuckyfag in 859.

whereabouts you located, OP?

WHERE CAN I BUY ACID IN GERMANY?!

Please tell your manager to update the stores located in Missouri. They're all run down and small. Thanks.

What was the most questionable combination of items purchased together you've seen?
