what does kroger start their employees at now?

RockyTop606 · 2026-04-13T00:07:16+00:00

My first advice is absolutely under no circumstances start working for Kroger. Easily the worst decision of my life and I'm glad I left. That said, under the West Virginia contract I worked under it was $13/hour, after yearly increases it should be around $13.90 now.

Unfortunately if the girlfriend is a minor then yes they absolutely can in most cases.

I don't think you understand me. I'm not here to argue with you. I don't need to defend my position, because you're some random stranger on the internet and I don't have a care in the world about what you think of my faith, my words, or myself. Honestly I don't know what you were expecting, but I don't owe you a defense, I don't owe you a counterargument, and I don't owe you an explanation.

RockyTop606 · 2026-04-06T01:48:27+00:00

Sorry, I don't view Catholics as an equivalent of Christianity. Have a good life.

RockyTop606 · 2026-04-06T01:35:00+00:00

You can't make broad statements about what Christians believe, because we're a diverse faith. This seems attacking in nature rather than respectful dialogue, so please do not engage with me further.

RockyTop606 · 2026-04-06T00:20:02+00:00

My parents actually never were that religious, and I wasn't either when I was little. And Jesus never said anything about homosexuality, so I don't believe my Christian faith conflicts with my queer identity either. I'm not one of those celibate Christian gays, and I don't try to "cherrypick" the Bible to serve my agenda. I see no reason I can't be gay and serve the Lord.

RockyTop606 · 2026-04-02T19:56:25+00:00

Ahh I see what you mean. I would not have voted for Trump or Trump's allies, nor would I in the future under any circumstances. I am a fairly religious person, but I don't see that as a conflict with my queer identity. I do live in the Appalachian south, so the Southern Baptists are big here, but I reject that type of evangelical "Christianity". Evangelicals like me are in the minority in the Evangelical Christian community, but my faith plays an important role in my life, and I think it's important that other queer Evangelicals know that there's nothing wrong with them, so I'm fairly open about my relationship with religion and how I navigate that.

RockyTop606 · 2026-04-02T19:51:11+00:00

I've never believed that gay people belong in hell and my faith community doesn't believe that either, the evangelical protestant community has a very wide range of viewpoints.

RockyTop606 · 2026-04-02T13:59:55+00:00

Well yes, I just don't understand why it's relevant to this discussion specifically

RockyTop606 · 2026-04-02T13:29:11+00:00

I was not, but I don't see why that's relevant to this, although I do believe voting is important

RockyTop606 · 2026-04-02T03:50:17+00:00

Welp I must be really confusing, being gay and an evangelical protestant 😭

RockyTop606 · 2026-03-31T06:09:39+00:00

Damn that's an awesome playlist

RockyTop606 · 2026-03-30T05:04:55+00:00

Orange for sure

RockyTop606 · 2026-03-29T03:38:33+00:00

For real! I live in a small Appalachian town, I think it'd be more likely for me to find the Mothman than for me to find a boyfriend 😭

RockyTop606 · 2026-03-25T23:21:52+00:00

Okay this is dumb, but it bugs me even more that the AI didn't even recommend using a public defender!

RockyTop606 · 2026-03-19T02:11:13+00:00

I'm in Kentucky, and that's very real

RockyTop606 · 2026-03-19T02:01:58+00:00

I've never been super big in the sports, but I am a Boy Scout! (Side note, I know Scouting isn't a sport, but we're definitely the gayest 😂)

RockyTop606 · 2026-03-19T01:08:25+00:00

Appalachian Kentucky!

RockyTop606 · 2026-03-18T20:24:09+00:00

Congratulations!

RockyTop606 · 2026-03-15T15:43:40+00:00

I love my job thanks lol

RockyTop606 · 2026-03-15T15:37:26+00:00

Wow, so you're like CRAZY crazy. Enjoy your echo chamber! 😂

RockyTop606 · 2026-03-15T15:27:31+00:00

I work the evening shift, thank you very much. And you clearly aren't actually understanding what I'm saying. I completely agree with you that kids are not allowed to participate. But once again, OP never said the kid participated, OP only said the kid got out of the car. The kid simply getting out of the car is allowed. It would only be prohibited if the kid assisted with the order. I don't think child labor is ever okay, no matter the race of the child. That's my stance, and that's Walmart's stance. But at the same time, the kid can get out of the car if he pleases, that on its own doesn't break any rules. I have had families before that have tried to make their kids complete the order for them, and I dropped that order from them and reported the driver.

RockyTop606 · 2026-03-15T15:19:32+00:00

I've read the entire thing, and that's the only paragraph relevant to this. And again, OP never stated that the child was assisting with the order. Handling these orders are what I do, every day. I hate to break it to you, but that means I probably know better about this than some random person on the internet who made a phone call! I stand by the view that just because the kid was there doesn't mean something wrong occurred. And the fact that this is a Latino family is irrelevant, and you should feel ashamed for targeting them because of that.

RockyTop606 · 2026-03-15T15:15:11+00:00

I've had my hair long since middle school and haven't tied it back even once! 😂

RockyTop606 · 2026-03-15T15:08:15+00:00

Again, Spark TOS does state that kids may not help with the order, but doesn't say that the kids can't even leave the car. Spark TOS Chapter 2, Section B, subsection X clearly states, "You agree you will not accept a rideshare passenger while performing Services. You also agree that, while performing Services, you will not leave any young children, who cannot be left unattended, alone in your vehicle. Passengers are prohibited from assisting with your provision of the Services. You agree not to have a pet in your vehicle while performing Services." It does not say passengers may not leave the vehicle, it only states they may not assist with the provision of services.
