Kroger

This is "my" Kroger. I have a relationship with my store. The employees are from my community. They live here too. We recognize each other. We belong. To-geth-er. I can go in more than a couple times a week. A considerable portion of my budget goes to this store. In exchange I get things I need to sustain my life. Nutrition, pharmaceuticals necessities to maintain my health. The nutritional needs are my responsibility. There are also life quality purchases I can make. Flowers for the dinner table on Thanksgiving Day, chocolate, the emergency replacement kitchen tool when the spatula gets too close to the burner and melts where it won't nicely flip an egg anymore because you were paying attention to keep the gravy stirring so its smooth, not over baking the rolls and whipping the egg whites so the dessert will be light and fluffy. My Kroger and the employees are there for me. Always. Before, during and through the pandemic they are there through increased risk to themselves. I am grateful.
My only regret is that this location doesn't have a fueling station on site for my Kroger bucks discount I use to lower my ever increasing fuel costs. Though noted there are several fueling stations within the block, some adjacent to the parking lot.
Thank you, Kroger.
Happy Thanksgiving.

Wow, has it already been a year since the last Kroger post? This is still my Kroger! A clerk in dairy told me about a store app that I can search ads ahead of time and get barcodes for coupons to use in store by scanning my phone. (If the reader can see the lines behind my cracked screen.) I went early in the morning today and I really liked it. No crowds, no freight in aisles, NO lines at checkout!
It is nice to be recognized at 'my' store. I found a cute little rabbit's foot fern. It's nice to have some fresh greenery in the house when everything outside is so brown and gray. Rabbit's feet are supposed to be lucky? (I guess unless you are the rabbit without it.) However, the lucky bamboo didn't appear to have much luck.

Call Dan here to get some supplies well on a business trip and this big box chain grocery store is everything you’ve come to expect in the center Kroger’s.

It is a Wonderland of every food delight you could hope for outside of going to a specialty grocery store.

With that being said I am surprised as I walked up and look more like a florist shop with all the flowers both inside and outside at the pushing.

This store is huge very clean and the staff very nice in fact check out lady to check us out was awesome and her name was Raven. With that being said it does seem like the staff here are following the American modern times and quietly quitting with a super slow pace. I don’t really understand it the lady was incredibly nice but her pace could’ve been out performed by kindergarten and I saw that across all the cashiers.

I get this please double thumbs up and I return to it again provided I am not in a hurry because you will not get out in a hurry the lines are backed up and they are super slow and I guess that’s just the times in America today
