I work for Kroger as well, I started out as a bagger working during school, worked my way up to cashier then onto the grocery crew stocking shelves etc. Did that for a couple years after high school then made my way onto the night stock crew as an Asst. Head Grocery clerk (backup for you Kroger people who know the lingo). Did that for a few years but got sick of working nights and the fact that just about everyone who worked on the stock crew was a castoff from society and just got on my last nerve, so I stepped down and started running the dock which I still do now. I basically yell and bitch at everyone who comes back and leaves a pallet in the middle of the floor or fills the cardboard baler up but does not think they should have to empty it, but my job duties include checking in all the beer, wine, bread, chips, pop (or soda depending on where you live). Been there 12 years total.
Looking at getting a new job currently though with a friend of mine who I actually met at Kroger we both started a few weeks apart. He is trying to get me a job at the local newspaper with him running the printing presses, it too, like Kroger, is a union job, but the pay scale is soooooooo much more, benefits are similar, really good perks too and I know everyone who works there since I have been playing softball with them the last 5 years or so.
