People who work at Krogers?

Question

Any advice on how to get hired? I'm 16 and want to bag there.

I mean I know you get an application and fill it out. But when it comes to the interview, any advice?

Answer 1

they like people who have experience, but if you dont have any, keep and maintain the attatude through the interview that you want to learn, you want to work hard, and you want to be the best you can be in this field.

you'll have to get a pay cut, since you dont have any experience, but i cant imagine anyone who would pay you more than minimum wadge unless you did have experience in the field you were looking in.

i worked at krogers for about 3 months, i was a bagger for about 2 months, they pushed me up to casheir because the reciept machine ran out of paper, and all the casheirs were so new, nobody knew how to re-fill it, and even though, i didnt actually have any experience using their system, i knew how their paper machine worked, and put a new roll of recipt paper in, in about 20 seconds. they saw this, and made me a casheir, but then we went into the slow season of mid summer, and i started getting 15 hours a week, and then 10 hours a week, i walked in there, and looked at the schedule, and saw i only had 5 hours for that entire week (scheduled for 2 hours tuesday and 3 hours friday) and walked up there and told them i quit. they wernt very happy, but they needed to understand i had to pay my rent, and couldent be working for them with those kinds of hours. i should have just stayed a bagger. i was getting 40 hours that way. it was harder work, for about an hour out of my shift, i had to get carts/buggies (shopping carts, they call them different things everywhere in the US) because all the baggers took turns out there bringing them in, there was no one person that just did it all, all the time. and it payed less too, but either way, i should have just stayed a bagger. the one that i used to live near before i moved, i heard about how they'd hire people, and keep them there for 6 months, and then fire them, because if they worked there any longer, they'd become part of the union, and they didnt want anymore people in their union. but then, 24 hours later, they'd call them back saying "come work for us again" so you could start the whole process over again of paying union dues, for 6 months, pending to get into the union, only to have them lay you off again!!! it was pure crap.

Answer 2

I ADVISE YOU NOT TO GO. THAT WAS MY FIRST JOB. THE PEOPLE WERE FUN AND GREAT BUT THE JOB ITSELF SUCKED!!!! AND JUST BE YOURSELF AT THE INTERVIEW. THEY ARE NOT THAT PICKY. WHEN I WORKED THERE THEY HIRED SOME GUY WHO WAS WASTED OR STONE 24/7.
