    My wife (who has DOCUMENTED NUT ALLERGIES and told them about it) was put into the bakery and expected to pull all the frozen stuff to thaw before being baked.

    Anyone see an issue with putting a worker with a nut allergy in the bakery? Because they sure as fuck didn’t. They were also very surprised when she no call/no showed to quit after they kept ignoring her complaints and expected her to do the work of 3 people and to train register people when she needed help to get shit done.

      Im sorry she had to go through that. Kroger is a shit company to their employees and customers. I was there for maybe a month before i did the same, no show/call and quit. I specifically applied for the bakery, they hired me for the bakery, but on my first day they started dropping hints the bakery was over staffed and tried to probe my interest in working in the deli, which was a hard no and they knew that. The second week they kept trying to position me in deli and i refused every single time. By the third week they told me i had no choice, but to work deli, so i stopped showing up.

      All in all, they gave me less pay than promised, less hours than promised, less benefits than promised, and work in a completely different deparment than promised. The hours, by the way, they kept just a hair shy, and well below what i was promised, of qualifying for benefits, which i was also promised.

      “Fresh for everyone” my ass

        deli/prepared foods at our local wf is similar to, hard work nobody wants to work there, and the people that are there gives attitude to other employees because they are worked to the bone.
