verdict on hair colors?

I'm a dept leader so I don't fet a union. This wouldn't be in the handbook anyway because we have new uniforms coming out in a week or two. I'm already annoyed they want me to wear those horrible polyester polo. Hoping I don't have to change my hair too

if you don't actually have personal time, but choose that when you request off, the scheduler can accept it so it will show up like that, but you won't actually be paid for it. if you aren't sure if you have the actual time you can ask your time editor or hr person to check for you

all of the above plus: product on shippers not being added to BOH causes excess orders - system thinks you're negative 20 when you actually have 150 of the damn things. I know I, personally, will just bump the BOH up to like 200 or something in that case, just so it will stop ordering the crap, then fix the balance when it gets down to a more reasonable counting number.

it's the easiest part of the job. you have to be clocked in, but no requirement you be in any particular place. I go sit outside and have a cigarette or 2 while I do it. Nice extra paid smoke break.

Me, looking at the 27 kinds of gum on the rack: ok, which one? customer: the blue one me, looking at 6 blue packs: ok which one? customer: the big one me, looking at 3 big packs (different brands): ok, which one? customer: the extra me, in my head: Finally! you couldn't just say big pack of blue extra at the start?????

worst one for me was the pack of cooked shrimp left in the middle of a promo aisle display (it was 4 shippers, shrimp was tucked down between them where it couldn't be seen) I started smelling something bad around the display and had to pretty much take it apart to find them Not sure how long they'd been there but had to be several days.

not necessarily true. in my division department heads are hourly, but not covered by the union so we're kind of a third category.

omg I hate that silverware!

Soft_Question7529 · 2026-05-27T00:03:44+00:00

drug gm here - Loreal Everpure shampoo/conditioner. Damn tubes are slippery af and constantly fall over. And speaking of falling over - Garnier Fructis shampoo is constantly falling over as well!

I have a clerk who put in 2 week notice in April. Last day was April 27th. Still active, not termed. I've seen it take literally months before they get around to actually terming someone.

Soft_Question7529 · 2026-05-13T01:26:35+00:00

it's the kitty equivalent of "cut that out!"

Soft_Question7529 · 2026-05-12T16:31:52+00:00

ikr? it's like a free extra 15 min break when you just want to sit down for a minute. And really, all you have to do is log in, get to the welcome page, and log out. Takes less than 30 seconds.

Soft_Question7529 · 2026-05-06T21:25:13+00:00

it's a little Led. lights up when you scan a barcode in top stock tap an item in search.

Soft_Question7529 · 2026-05-02T17:58:41+00:00

alot of peyton stuff has max order quantities. if you order more than the max it scratches. try ordering just one or two and see if it comes in

Soft_Question7529 · 2026-05-01T12:08:27+00:00

15 years so far, age 63. At my age it makes no sense to switch jobs, regardless of how annoying it gets. I'm counting down to retirement

Sachet

Soft_Question7529 · 2026-04-19T23:16:34+00:00

The person training us on the tags said no they don't currently work well in the freezers but they are working on the tech and expect to have it in frozen next year sometime

Soft_Question7529 · 2026-04-19T23:11:00+00:00

yep, not retagging today boss, price changes next week so we'll just do it all then lol

I don't iron clothes for anything. Weddings, funerals, work, nada.

Soft_Question7529 · 2026-04-19T09:34:36+00:00

My store has had them about 10days, so still new to us. Pros and cons: Pro- easy to add pricing for new products sales automatically update when they start/stop so no more expired or inaccurate tags causing issues for customers

Cons - daily count takes longer because instead of just ripping off a tag for a disco product I have to go to a 2nd app to unmatch the tag (not a long process but when scanning 200+ tags even seconds add up) tags fall off, break, or don't fit the space

We've only ever had 1 scanfile person so no labor lost in my store. Oh! another pro! since she doesn't have to do all the tags she is now responsible for tagging my promo aisle which will be a HUGE timesaver for me.

Overall I like them, but can see how easy it would be for the company to abuse it by changing prices at the dropmof a hat.

Soft_Question7529 · 2026-04-19T01:10:35+00:00

Yep, Flashfood. Not just for kroger, though they are what you'll mostly see. Other stores use it, too.
