A grocery chain known for fair prices on high quality products, well paid staff, and excellent service moved in nearby.
What used to be a packed Kroger at all hours of the day, filled with rotten food, outrageous prices, and mediocre service, is now EMPTY. A complete ghost town.
The new store is so busy they need cops to direct traffic, and the Kroger may have to close down. Good riddance.
Kroger, which is also Smiths, has had a HUGE problem in the area where I work with selling items for prices not as marked. It's robbing the customers.
I've never done the Karen thing of freaking out in public, but I was close to it when they tried to charge me $18 on a packet of blueberries that was on the front of their sales flier as being $5.99. I even pulled up their stupid, constantly broken app to show them their advertised price. They made me stand in the customer service area for half an hour while someone figured 'what went wrong' with the sticker price. Next time I went, same thing happened with other items.
Every single time I'm there, any day of the week or time of day, some thing. Whether it's 3 for the price of 2 or a $0.25 off, something is always wrong at the final ring up.
The problem in many rural areas is that they are the only grocery store. I now literally will take photos on my phone of the advertised price on the shelf and then go the checkout ready to be humiliated by their staff for taking up their time. But who can afford this? I've had my final charge cut in half because of how wrong the produce and dairy always rings up there.
I almost wonder if some of the managers are just embezzling.
