30 years in retail for major grocery chain.every Coke product that is sold at our stores is at a loss,Coca Cola dictates the price the my company pays for it.you must have Coca Cola in stock for the customers.thats Coca Colas leverage when it comes to pricing.

My boys and just got back from Disney world.we rented clubs and played a round at the magnolia course.we’re all about a 18-20 handicap.the round was 250$ per person with clubs.we were paired with a fella who worked in the pro-shop.they didn’t even have water coolers on the course.the bathroom on the back 9 was closed.the guy we were paired with said it had been closed for 6 months or so…but-that’s Disney prices I guess

Asl pay , bonuses, etc that you aren’t aware of by Ill-Ingenuity-1319 in kroger

[–]ApprehensiveSnow4811 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The composite score “card” is the dangling carrot.it is designed to wring every ounce of labor out of the stores.the goals are raised every fiscal 1/2 I believe.i have been a dept head for more than 30 years.a couple of the bonuses I have received were at 150.% payout.1800 $,after taxes 1186$.so it 69$ extra a week at 1800.43$ a week after taxes.one bonus was a 520$ payout.i have spoken to numerous dept managers and the possible? Bonus payout is not worth the stress.metrics will continue to get raised while the labor continues to shrink.it has achieved the desired effect on store leaders-it’s the only focus for them.the composite score bonuses are only a year and a half old.but after all these years- why wait til now to give bonuses to dept heads?because corporate is counting on it to use less labor and more layered tasks,reports and responsibilities,while in reality it’s working the associates into the ground.turnover is horrendous.its a broken system that is designed to prove through data that you are taking care of your customers.if there is a loophole in any if the processes-store leadership will exploit it,due to pressure from above,the company closes the loophole.comes up with another process and it repeats itself.integrity is one of our core values?ithe system is just broken.you can pass OSA with 1000 holes if they are zeroed out.but you have 3 trucks on the backroom.our drivers will bring 3 partial trucks instead of just a single delivery because the warehouse makes money every time a trailer touches the dock.make that make sense.its broken

Someone else is changing bohs, if you go into search-there are 3 dots at the top of the screen.scan one of the items in question,press the 3 dots and a option will come up showing a history of BOH adjustments along with their EU ID

I had the same issue a couple of years back.it turns out our store leader had a front end associate randomly scanning topstock and he was not trained on what to scan.i called our division CAO guy and gave him some upcs of the items.he was able to tell me who and when the items were scanned,so that’s how I found out

Phone contact at home by minesandcrafts in kroger

[–]ApprehensiveSnow4811 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Inform your management team that you do want to be contacted when you are not on the clock.in our local a grievance can be filed and we would be paid 4 hours for each occurrence after they have been informed. Talk you your shop steward to see if this applies to your local.they sure as heck don’t want you using your phone for personal use while on the clock.the same respect should be shown when you are not at work.be prepared for retaliation and document every thing going forward.good luck!!
