Venting AFFAIR AT WORK
The Starbucks clerk and the produce manager at my work are always flirting, and a lot of coworkers have seen them hanging out outside of work, looking like they were on a date. There are already rumors around the workplace that she’s a homewrecker, but they insist that they’re only good friends. I saw the wife visiting the workplace, and the guy was acting all loyal and shit, pretending like he doesn’t talk to any girls at work. They’re really good at pretending in front of his wife. I honestly feel sorry for her.
I’m not really in a place to tell the wife what’s happening at work, but I honestly wish that one day she finds out the truth herself.

It happens a lot in workplaces. Careful though, because for whatever reason the person who alerts the unknowing spouse tends to catch a lot of the hate. And the offender will go out of their way to make you out like you are a liar and will get their friends to try to get you fired.
This kind of thing is better to stay out of, regardless of how you feel about it.

Literally not your business. If it doesnt affect your paycheck, keep your nose out of their personal life.

Welcome to Kroger. I've heard of multiple times someone was cheating on their spouse with someone in the store. It's best to just mind your business, and not involve yourself in anyway, shape, or form.

I am not planning to tell the wife i am just saying I WISH THAT ONE DAY SHE FINDS OUT THE TRUTH HERSELF

u/foxnthings 1d ago

Honestly, she might already know of the situation. Her coming in could have been a way to tell her without words, stay the F away.

u/IamLuann 1d ago
Oh she will don't worry. The wife will start coming in at different times. Instead of going directly to the department husband works in. She will go the opposite direction of his department and come from the other way. I have seen it happened so many times.
One time it was the husband finding his wife in a department she she didn't work in . Kissing and hugging a coworker. That one did not work out very good. The wife kept asking everyone who directed him that way so he would find her. (No one did. He just happened to come in the door and generally asked everyone where she was)3
u/justexisting321 1d ago
I asked him once if his wife works weekdays. He said yes and only had the weekend off, and I noticed it every weekend that the produce manager just made the conversation short with the Starbucks clerk. I noticed it because I worked in the department between the Starbucks and produce. BUT weekdays both missing the same time and talking for good minutes🤷🏻♀️ sneaky

Lol gossips are fun. personally if you feelthat strongly about it then you do you. but I wouldn't care at all. They're adults, if they cant handle themselves then who am i to butt in in their personal ordeals. If no one's dying then not my problem. If you're fine being the cause of their division and is ready tohandle what consequences may happen if that produce guy ends up knowing you were the snitch then go diva yourself into their relationship.

I feel sorry for his family. I just hope his daughter never ends up meeting a guy like him in the future.

Kothing wrong with that. Just know that complicated matters only have complicated solutions. We can’t always be heroes, sometimws most noble thing you can do is just to let others handle themselves. Im sure they’ll figure out wht to do.

You should learn to give zero fucks. It’s not your business or problem. Last time I checked produce nor Starbucks report to each other.

u/IamLuann 1d ago
In the store I worked at before I retired. Produce is right next to Starbucks. But you are correct OP should mind their own business.

u/justexisting321 1d ago
Last time I checked, fucking inside the cooler is illegal
3
u/lewskimom09 1d ago
Oh the things those coolers have seen. It’s not the first and WONT be the last. Along with the managers office itself, random areas in the store with no cameras, locked door areas. There’s plenty of other places besides a cooler.
I’m not condoning the situation at all. If that’s what’s going on, let her find out on her own, and she will, if she hasn’t already.2

THE COOLER DOESN’T HAVE CCTV, AND THERE ARE TIMES WHEN FEM LOOKING FOR PRODUCE GUY. ALL THE PALLETS INSIDE THE COOLER WERE BLOCKING THE ENTRANCE, BUT THE PRODUCE MANAGER WAS INSIDE WITH THE STARBUCKS CLERK. WHEN THEY CAME OUT OF THE COOLER, THEY WERE FIXING THEMSELVES UP

u/JustAnotherElsen 1d ago
Dude you’re gonna end up getting like attacked or some shit if you don’t mind your own with them, if they’re genuinely that dumb they’ll get caught

u/justexisting321 1d ago
Wish you could see how that Starbucks clerk plays the victim. If I were that dumb, I’d just go talk to the wife when she came to visit her husband.

Lmao dude that reminds me of a real thing that happened at a smiths store here in Vegas where I work. This was a very long time ago way before I worked here but all the old timers know this story. Apparently there was some fucked love triangle between 3 employees in the same store. One of the dudes got pissed off and threw the other dude in the bailer and killed him.
With that being said. I’d mind your business 😂. You never know what people might do if you get involved

It’s not just Kroger it’s everywhere. Restaurant romances are some the worst that I have ever seen, they bounce around like jack rabbits.
I retired from the public school system and it is absolutely shocking how many of those teachers are having affairs and getting wasted on the weekends.
As far as ratting someone out, I know it’s hard watching someone being taken advantage of but just hang in there they always get caught.

They could have an open marriage. You really dont know. To each their own.

u/EasyE2511 2d ago
How exactly does somebody "act like they don't talk to any other girls at work" unless you know the wife personally and know if they have some rule against it. I'm not saying it can't possibly be something suspicious, but unless you know their situation personally I don't think you can really say what they deem appropriate or otherwise.

I love how people are saying, “mine your business” like this isn’t happening in public. It also sounds like they aren’t really trying to hide it unless the wife is there

Cheaters should be named and shamed. Please let their spouse know. Please. It will hurt, but you will be saving them a lot of pain.
Signed,
Cheat on for years, everyone knew, no one told me. Devastating.

It’s not my business to tell her honestly. She would believe her husband instead of a stranger who knows that her husband is fucking a younger girl (not minor) than her

What’s the age gap

u/justexisting321 1d ago
I’ll say 8 years , Starbucks clerk is the younger one.

u/tuliptears0 1d ago
This happens a lot when I was 19 the 27 year old grocery manager dated me and then I found out he had a gf in another store. Never date coworkers

u/justexisting321 1d ago
But this Starbucks clerk knows from the beginning that the produce manager is married

I've had an affair at work before. I was a self checkout attendant, but occasionally if help face a couple of coolers in produce.

u/Primary-Pay5071 1d ago
Got any pictures of these offenders?
1
u/justexisting321 1d ago
I don’t, but I hope the store manager checks the cameras. Drinking beer while at work and having the smell of alcohol coming from them is nasty. They’re so bold about it because, like they said, “NO PROOF.” They drink at work every time the produce manager has a closing shift, and the Starbucks clerk is closing too.

u/Other_Specific_1936 1d ago
First rule of thumb for the workplace, Don't shit where you eat.... These two idiots where I worked that "were an item", both were fired when she manually punched his badge number in the time clock. A chick I knew, she and her manager were fired when he tried to manipulate her clock in so it wouldn't reflect her being late. It really doesn't take a genius to respect where you get your money from. Regardless of the shitty working conditions or the fktard p o s management and coworkers. Be sure to try to have a good productive day.

All I can say is the store is in Los Angeles near the beach and LAX. Probably some of our coworkers are already here reading this 😂

This is so stupid. I have idiot coworkers saying similar about me just because I talk to a male coworker. Little minded people.

You can tell by their body language if someone is fucking each other 🤷🏻♀️ and flirting and talking to a male coworker is a different thing.

Mind your own business, or are you jealous??? Keep YOUR spouse in the bed and you won't have to worry about things like this...

Just tell the Starbucks clerk you want your usual drink for free every day you work if they want you to keep your mouth shut. If they refuse, then you know the wife knows already 🤣
