  • Im sorry she had to go through that. Kroger is a shit company to their employees and customers. I was there for maybe a month before i did the same, no show/call and quit. I specifically applied for the bakery, they hired me for the bakery, but on my first day they started dropping hints the bakery was over staffed and tried to probe my interest in working in the deli, which was a hard no and they knew that. The second week they kept trying to position me in deli and i refused every single time. By the third week they told me i had no choice, but to work deli, so i stopped showing up.

    All in all, they gave me less pay than promised, less hours than promised, less benefits than promised, and work in a completely different deparment than promised. The hours, by the way, they kept just a hair shy, and well below what i was promised, of qualifying for benefits, which i was also promised.

    “Fresh for everyone” my ass


  • I grew up shopping at Kroger and continued to shop there for a years after I moved out on my own. Cant say enough how much i fucking hate Kroger. Our local one decided to put in those stupid security gates at the door, forcing you to walk the ENTIRE LENGTH of the store and through the registers to get out. It was the last straw in a mounting hay pile of shitty changes that pushed me to start going to Meijers despite kroger being much closer. Cant state enough how much i fricken love Meijers compared to Kroger, Giante Eagle, Etc around here.

    EDIT: I also worked Kroger bakery in 2019 and i got to see how they rolled back all pay and benifits over the years for new employees. They were also abusive as fuck with my hours.


  • I went through a butter toast phase when i was about 10. It started as just 1 slice after school. Then, it was 2. Then, 3. Then 1-2 every hour before bed until my mom finally put a stop to it. You could smell that the downstairs neighbors were crack heads, but i dont think i ever had a contact high to trigger the butter toast phase. I just liked toast for the toast of it.
