Kroger

I’m still trying to figure out why we ever come here. People stand around in the aisles as if they’ve never shopped in a store before. Everyone looks lost, confused, bewildered…
The produce is somewhat better than Fort Knox Commissary but that’s not saying much. We encountered liquid soap that clearly had issues during the shipping process and should never have been put on the shelf. The baggers and cashiers don’t like to stop talking to each other long enough to pay attention to you and what they should be doing.
The few times it’s been more convenient to shop here, usually evenings, they do seem to have enough check out lines opened if you don’t want to use self check out so that’s a plus.

I have no idea why anyone shops here. The prices are ridiculous, the selection is poor, the produce section is regularly empty and the remaining produce is soggy and moldy, or there will be 3 sad looking cucumbers on the shelf (the 4 or 5 times a week I go there, it always looks the same, its not just after a busy hour). You can seriously go across the street to walmart and get the exact same items for half the price. If they sold higher quality merchandise, I could understand the prices, but it’s the exact same thing as Walmart. I eat a lot of fruits and veggies and have spoken to the produce manager as well as sent several emails to Kroger HQ complaining over the past 2 years, but nothing has changed. Last night I went in, same thing — produce section is empty and sorry looking, they were completely out of several items on my list and they didn’t even sell 2 other items. My two bags of purchases – about 3 days worth of food, cost $ 70. I won’t be wasting my time or money at Kroger again.

Lots of work has been done at this store to reset and maintain a well organized flow. Not the cheapest, but it sure keeps the crowd low.
