Might be a Kroger thing. When I told my daughter how the workers were acting at our local Kroger she said it was the same way when she was there. Ignoring the customers and sharing cell phone pics/memes across the aisle to the next register while I waited.Thats great, and both mine have done the same, yet I see a lot different around me. The PT jobs I have had recently at Krogers and now at a plant that builds industrial electrical equipment both have a horrible time attracting and keeping workers.
Kroger was a disaster, very few of the late teens and 20-30 group were willing to stay off their damn phones and show up or do their job.
I couldnt believe the amount of food that was piled up in shopping carts from the evening, customers would abandon partly full carts or declare they didnt want some item and it sat there all night.
I’d come in at 7 am (custodial) and find pools of melted ice cream, chicken/meat/frozen items that had gotten to room temperature, usually 6-8 shopping carts full. Then anything saveable would get restocked and the meat, dairy, cooler vegetables would go to the dumpster. All because they didnt have enough people who cared to put an item away.
The industrial plant pays $17 to start for assembly work and has had a 150% turnover in the 18 months they have been in business. Just this last Friday they had 28 show up out of a shift of 45. The rest called out or simply no showed, wanting a long weekend.
I know some of us have responsible kids but where I have been working lately I don't see that very much.
Poor management.
