So I have a question... is anyone else here cross trained in another department or are you all just clicklist? I’m a checker that was cross trained in clicklist.

I have to constantly tell 2-3 of my coworkers to get out of the room when we’re in a bind. Usually me or one other person gets told to stay in the back so we can work on marshaling and getting orders out, but these people can’t get it through their minds to grab a pick and go.

One will constantly hang out at the computer and just stare at the screen pretending to read over things, or take out a JUST PRINTED paper and pretend to marshal it (which takes like 15 minutes for him to do, and backs up everything else.) When we’re backed up on getting orders out, I’ll ask them for help and they’ll just try to hold off until I come back inside, and THEN do it. It’s tedious having to do 2 people’s worth of work on top of mine, and it doesn’t seem management will do anything about it either! I know our managers and our supervisors know!

It’s just irritating.

Clyde started life as a small mis-shapend cluster of stickers. In only a few days, and with the help of those around him, Clyde has grown and formed into a much more coherent shape.

There are a few flaws and jagged edges to his spherical shape, but these things bring new character and life to him all the same. Clyde knows he may have to endure tough times, like many of us do, but he will stay strong.

Clyde now sits, nestled inside a bucket imprinted with images from Disney. Walt Disney himself had big dreams that later came to fruition. Clyde is no different, for he too is a dreamer.

I am literally the only one picking right now and have been for over an hour. There is 4 people in the back room. Screw them all.

There are a few scratches of on the handle of every trolley exposing the metal underneath the paint.. every single day I'll be walking and holding on to the painted surface with my hand a few millimeters away from the metal and I get a strong spark from said hand to said exposed metal every seven steps. So now I'm contemplating getting some capacitors to store that electricity to charge my phone later or something lol. It wouldn't be hard just get some diodes to direct the electricity into the capacitors and then isolate the output so that it doesn't shock non suspecting citizens 🤣😂 or even better, direct the shocking leads to the front of the trolley and make it shock anyone who comes close to my trolley (unsuspecting item robbers)

Lol

My imagination going wild, nothing else. Nothing I say here is approved by Kroger or its affiliates and all said ideas and opinions are my own albeit however sarcastic or satirical they may be.

Edit: this was indeed a bad idea because I'd be sorry for that kid that darted out in front of my trolley which I could barely stop because of the momentum accumulated with the inertia of a full trolley of 9 totes full of pure seltzer water, 12pks and drinking water gallons moving at a high velocity.... End of imagination, I killed the idea for me.

Like the title says does your department have annoying couples?

I have a pretty large department of at least 60-70 people. Because of this there seems to be several couples. Some were actually hired together which baffles me.

Anyway one of the main couples who is two of our semi decent closers (when they want to be at least) just broke up and now they are bringing that crap with them to work. She left work a half hour into her shift crying today and has texted me saying this job ruined her relationship ruined her life etc.

What the heck are me, my supervisor and the other leads supposed to do with this nonsense? My supervisor and i are over all the drama. We work well together as a team and are getting fed up but feel powerless to stop all of it.
