These little .50 raises don’t cover cost of living. It’s ridiculous. Ik ppl who work at smaller corporations and make that much starting out! I will take my business elsewhere if they go on strike. I stand w the employees

Finally an employee! And we see that their employees are fearful of retaliation and that Kroger is lying. Who woulda thought that actual reporting turns up information that counters the corporate narrative. Thanks for finally talking to an employee!! More of this please!!

look into how many kroger employees aren't even getting paid....

Kroger is the worst employer with pay. I started at $7.00 ten years later $11.00 I had to work 18 months for health insurance had to work 20 hours a week to keep it and sometimes they wouldn’t schedule you. I wanted full time but never got it. My retirement check is $115.00 month.

I shop at Kroger and I’m also my own cashier, where’s my money?!

Don't worry about them firing you. If they fire , collect unemployment and it's your opportunity to seek a better paying job with better job positions. One that will pay you alot more and cares about the good employees, and not care about the bad ones.

KROGER does not pay well. Kroger does not pay right taxes.

I stopped going to Kroger as I saw how their treatment is impacting how the store runs and the service I get. These works moral are at their very lowest. There is no reason why they shouldn't be making a good living if a corporation can make billions in profit. Kroger, treat your employees like they deserve and I will come back.

Kroger reported over $965 MILLION dollars of profit in just the last quarter of 2022. This has to be said over and over again each and every time they raise their food prices

Of course Kroger is lying. They were the worst company in America 3 times in the 2010s they steadily take pay (real pay) and benefits all while piling more and more work all while taking in cash.

Asks not to be identified then proceeds to show distinct features of said employee

We're just slaves to Kroger

I can't imagine living off 15 an hour in most places in the U.S. even 20 an hour isnt enough.

I currently work for Kroger as a Courtesy Clerk, and I have always had a suspicion that they would lie to us. We were told of a raise of 16/hr - 20/hr. I grew up shopping at Kroger, I bust my ass off to ensure every adult and child has a cart, and to sweep the store twice, and with only one 30 minute break. I understand that Kroger started from a mom/pop shop in Ohio to becoming warehouses in much of the nation, but we employees aren't machines nor slaves that can go with little water. I'd say a raise and one 1 hr break can't hurt.

Kroger/Ralph’s employee wage underpayment policies must be happening in every state - even though food prices are going up. Kroger upper management is probably wishing that they could outsource grocery jobs to China and other countries like Apple, Nike, ATT, and other companies. They have found that a employee-less Amazon store can not make a profit. Previous generations used to be able to buy a house with a union salary.

I'm almost completely stopped shopping at Kroger's I only go there when I'm short on time and I don't have time to drive to Aldi's or Earth fare, or Publix. Kroger's has completely abandon the idea of creating a pleasant shopping experience.

Kroger sure got excited about those record sales in 2020.

15$ an hour after 4 years? Try 18$ after 27 years.

sucks for my part in meijer. being paid $12 an hour but i am only bringing home $400 a week. felt like im working $10 an hrs. getting benefits in retail as well union is taking chunks of our money

They need a 5.00 raise for the years spent to their work. And some put their all into that job to get a 20 cent raise and a glass clock. Give the people what they want Krogers. The ones who gave you 20 to 30 years or more don't see 20.00.

Just strike in place. Kind of like quiet quitting. Just work very slowly.

the key to this is they stated full time employees average $17 an hour. most grocery stores have very few full time employees that arent managers.

Kroger is heavily into Republican politics. They have increased many prices 15-20% while inflation is around 8%. With mid-term elections coming up their CEO goes on TV to say how much they are trying to help but in reality they want you to feel the pain and vote Democrat. Kroger knows this is not sustainable competitively so prices with go back down after the election. In the meantime the money made by gouging the public will be used to offset minor wage concessions and influence the voting public for the Republicans. Customers are pre-paying these labor contracts while the company publishes false salary data to inflame public opinion against Unions. Yet Kroger will always negotiate for a partial minimum of this that they hold in escrow already collected for wage concessions. This is why wages are never fully adjusted for inflation and after decades have eroded purchasing power.

Walmart seems to treat their employees better than Kroger.

You don't need to be loyal to somebody that does not care about you, cut the tires and seek greener opportunity.!

And then the merger with Albertsons will go though and all of the employees will get sold out. And it gets worse and worse for the working class, while the owners just play. Starving to death providing others with food. Stay classy, corporate America.

I hope Kroger is ordered to pay all its employees with interest and then it’s CEOs are held liable in court face prison time 😂😂

$17 per hour ? Are they proud of paying people only $17 per hour .

Hero’s to zero. Essential worker blah blah blah just a lie to get you to show up.

All these companies made a killing with Covid, and they crying poor. Please, I have been with Walgreens for 17 years and barely get 15.65. Ugg, it's disgusting the corporate greed.

So a TALL Chunky Dude with long red hair and feminine lilt in his voice ... yeah WBNS really went out of their way to keep this dude anonymous.

This company can not be trusted

Lol my local Kroger just raised their pay to $11 an hour in Feb. 😂

Watched albertsons eat my regular store and saw quality of products and availability of products drop substantially...if krogers eats albertsons then i can only imagine that it will just get worse.. Definitely worth changing my market..

I say we all just go to Kroger and steal a little bit and see what happens if they start paying their employees better we can go back to paying if they don’t we still more.

How sad. That's not a liveable wage.

When we people learn that unions are not about helping their members, it only about the people who run the unions.

They are lying

Giant Eagle has been replacing the majority of their checkout registers with self-service registers. This is an area where grocery stores can reduce staff. Kroger cashiers should expect the same.

15 a hour lol try working for albertsons, were getting paid 9 bucks a hour

It’s share holder value on the market share. The executives have no concern over worker wages. There is too much of a disconnect. Even many of the upper level managers that came from the stores actually “forgot” where they started.

Oh we know you're not trying to be greedy. They're greedy. Shame on them. Funny. They're real happy when they're eating, but they don't really care if anybody else is eating do right by your employees

Kroger that company does not even pay you all of your vacations and personal holidays even when you are terminated and you don't take them you do not get it at all so where does the money go afterwards back to the company or the store mgrs have it to build up their bonises or for something else can't answer that question can you

Kroger owns me a thousand dollars the most

retaliation and that Kroger is lying. W

120 mill for a company that is 30% of the grocery business haha that’s a couple pennies a year

Time to get a lawyer people. Go after them. In the meantime, unemployment, job hunting, you'll be okay.👍

Employees giving u p pay and benefits no Employees win

As someone who worked for four grocery chains around 1980 ......I can assure you that most Kroger Employees are OVERPAID already ......only a handful of employees deserve 15 + .....this across the board stuff simply doesn't fly ......

Being a stockboy/bagger/cashier is an entry level job. Don't like entry level pay, don't make an entry level job a career.

People are forgetting they still have free will. If you are not making what you feel you are worth, quit and go to some other place that pays better. I have done that, and it worked out fine.

Not enough i dont make enough we dont get bonus over the Christmas holiday so they get theres

People are so ungrateful. In my day minimum wage was $3.35/hr

What is wrong with his haircut? :(((((

If Kroger isn’t paying you what you think you’re worth, go find another job where they will pay you what you think you’re worth, not hard to figure out.

Riveting content 😂

You can’t make a career out of working for a grocery store. Sorry. It’s for college kids and older folks. If better pay, you’ll have to go to school. Sorry.

Give them college level pay for a job that anyone can do, no skill required! 😂 minimum wage jobs usually cap out after a certain amount and that’s normal for a no skill level job. Entitlement…..

Everyone complains about not getting "livable wages" in these jobs. These jobs (like fast food) are not intended to support a family unless you go into management. However they need to go up with wages ( reasonable level) and treat the employees with respect. That being said, Kroger lying and manipulating their people is wrong on all levels. I hear they paid out bonuses last year and now they are taking them back. Kroger is pretty much off my shopping list.
