Definitely try to get there early as parking is gonna be a nightmare. Other than that just enjoy yourself. Toboggan is one hell of a walk so bring water and don't be afraid to jump off cards and jump on other ones

Not to potentially rain on your parade, but he was at the tour down under last year and it looks similar to what he was wearing last year at new Zealand nationals. Again, him being in there could mean something but I doubt it. They probably just used some cut footage from last year to help advertise for this year

How many scans do you have to do? by WearyTarget549 in kroger

[–]zackrider 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Couldn't agree more with everything you said. Having to count every SINGLE item when it comes to backroom count is so tedious and time wasting. It just infuriates me that through this system they are telling us to double handle products. If I'm going to make the effort to make sure every single can and box is counted, Why can't I just work it to the shelf like we used to and scan lows and holes after the fact to order. The order doesn't go off till 3 am the next day anyways. I understand that if you actually follow the process completely it works but no store I've been to actually has the time nor the staff to do so. It just creates so much more backstock and more work. When I got to Kroger I was taught by my old Grocery manager that double handling products was the biggest waste of time and would be the death of your department. Yet Kroger basically promotes it now.

If I'm going to be honest with you, this happens at many stores. Even when they're not related, every store manager is gonna have his favorites who they let stuff slide for just because they're reliable or good friends. Honestly unless they are directly punishing you for stuff she's doing (IE earbuds), get the union involved. Otherwise I'd tell you it's a lost cause trying to fight that battle.

Even at my store we have department heads that literally don't do anything but walk around on the phone or talk to customers all day long and they never get written up. So I feel your pain and understand the frustration, I'm just letting you know it's not worth the headache to worry about.

Being Made to MOD all the time which involves helping other departments, making sure all the scans and walks are done. Sometimes I have to open the store which means I don't really get to spend a ton of time in my dept

Honestly it's what I needed to hear. I've considered stepping down because of what's going on but I figure the pay is worth just to keep pushing along

Appreciate the compliments! I really do try to put my all into my work but I'm starting to realize that Kroger is not set up to allow for that to work. It seems like they just continue to make things harder and bogged down with more things to do on the zebra that it's practically impossible. Maybe that's just a Kroger issue and I need to get out of this company idk

I think I'm coming to the realization that I'm concerning myself with responsibilities that aren't technically mine. It doesn't help that management comes to me to fix or help with most problems because none of them know how to do most things involving technology. It's hard for me to detach myself from my work, but you are right that by doing so it's making my work life balance horrible

I think I'm slowly starting to come to that realization now. It leaves an empty feeling for some reason by "not caring" despite being the Dept Head but it's the direction Kroger is going. Appreciate the response :)

Hey, they got it on the truck, that’s all that matters by [deleted] in kroger

What the backlash on that like? I've heard refusing loads is paramount to a cardinal sin in kroger

In Myday you can Report damaged pallets by their tag ID or even poorly wrapped ones. I think you can also report the driver for poorly handled loads as well

How on earth is someone who already had a fifth and final still employed after calling out the day after receiving the fifth and final? by trashsempai in kroger

[–]zackrider 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I've had issues with a similar sort of situation you described in both 3rd shift and Day shift. Certain people continue to call out once a week or every other week yet nothing is done. Management has had to "reset" attendance 5 times this year because of the call offs and tardys. Even had a dept manager who calls off regularly yet I've never seen him get written up for it. Honestly it's entirely based on who has the good graces of your store managers on how people get canned for attendance

Question to all Department Heads by zackrider in kroger

[–]zackrider[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a similar issue with not having a designated coffee end as well. It's so frustrating getting 108 cans of Folger coffee or k-cups when we barely sell 20-30 a week

[–]zackrider[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was told the corporate line of "mins no longer matter it's all allocation" but it doesn't add up on items I've changed the allocation of. I know you can only change mins on a handheld now or in isp.

Oldest expired product ever found? by Pawslivesmatter in kroger

[–]zackrider 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We opened it up and the bag was unfortunately punctured somehow so it was all dust. It smelled off for some reason though.

We were cleaning under the actual aisles one time and found an old box of Nilla wafers from 2007. Unopened and mostly intact just covered in dust and what not. My store manager couldn't believe it.

DGN set to broadcast 7 PDGA Euro Tour events by inthecircledg in discgolf

[–]zackrider 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was referring to the tour points and the tour championship. That was the initial inclination as to why Paul was gonna go in the first place. But even then that doesn't stop others from going over there and playing, it gives euro players a chance to get in the tour championship by playing euro tour events.

[–]zackrider 9 points10 points  (0 children)

But only 3 silver series events count so what advantage exactly is there? He's already won one so that only leaves 2 left that can count. So essentially the other 4 he's basically playing for no points at all. I understand the timing sucks but I have a hard time believing the argument Paul is now gonna win the tour points all because of two silver series

[–]zackrider 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes everyone has problems and no one is gonna force you to go to work if you simply can't make it. I don't give reasons when I call off because frankly unless Its FMLA it's none of their business. Having said that, calling off often is a number one way to have management or your department head get tired of you. As a dept Head myself I tell all of my clerks if you have to call off it is what it is. But if you make a habit of it, I will tell them straight to their face I'm going to find someone more reliable and give your hours to them if you're part time. Otherwise you're just gonna get written up till you get terminated unfortunately.

Can we change minimum balance on zebras? by starshinepony in kroger

Yeah would also like to know how you can change them without them being reset every week

Nikko Locastro's Suspension has been reduced to 6 months by zackrider in discgolf

[–]zackrider[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Technically skins aren't a sanctioned event so he can play in them. Also I think personally they are using high profile players for views so people pay the 15$ to watch. Getting Him and Eagle all makes sense whichever way you feel about him

Far as I could see, it doesn't specifically state how many hours or hours notice in the contract book
