Taste O' Italy Confirmed
Permalink   


I'm guessing it's true. I was searching for Catalina tape when i came a box of aprons, but i noticed they weren't division colors. I opened the box up to reveal that they where promotional aprons for "Taste Of Italy". I have a picture of them but i can figure out how to post it onto the forum.

It's coming up soon. We're getting all our specialty Italy items in now, like the pizzelle cookies and tiramisu cakes.

I knew this was coming. a few weeks ago the front office was asking everybodys size. all these t shirts that we are being forced to wear is stupid. they spend money on t shirts when they could take the money and give their employees better raises. I do not understand corporate anymore. I would rather have a better raise than a t shirt. I do not know what to do with all these t shirts.

I just don't understand why, the taste of Mexico was a flop and we our store is in the middle of a hugh hispanic population center. It's just a waste of money and it puts more strain on already overworked employees

They provide you with clothing and you turn against them? How dare you tr-

 

lol, I hear ya. I can't even wear the shirts that I got from them in public. They're more or less my house clothes now.

OMG you actually wear them?  When I quit I used mine to dust some furniture, clean up some oil spills in the garage and threw them away.

Ah, so that's where Kroger's HemisFares brand will come into play.

I too wonder why Kroger keeps doing this, are they seriously making a decent profit from these promotions?

 I doubt it. The shirts and aprons alone probably cost them a ton. It's more or less a Kroger program to effect the susceptibility of the public into buying more overpriced things. Not everyone buys into it but some poor idiots get all hyped about it.

The churros were good, though.

It's Kroger's way of blowing money before it becomes taxable.

 Yeah, I liked the churros. It was the first time I had them. I also liked one of the cakes they had at their sampling event, but I was sadly never able to afford it. I hope they have another sampling event.

We still sell the churros for some reason, even though no one ever buys them.

They lose money on it.

Our Taste of Mexico in 2014 had so many churros thrown in the garbage because they wouldn't sell, even after placed in the bargain bin the day before they expired.

I don't mind the shirts or the Aprons..it's the hat that I don't want to wear. :/ It's like a short chef's hat. In red and gold colors.

I like having the T-shirts over the uniform shirt. Afterwards, I just use them to sleep in.

" sort of is " a kind way of putting it.  fortunately that's limited to perishable depts.  There's a refresh this month in Atlanta, but no t-shirts like the "glad you're hear" thing. Taste of Italy is coming in Oct. The red and gold aprons are painful the gold hats are tragic.

I, too, can't understand the logic behind all these shirts.  I think we've had 4 or 5 different ones over the last year or so.  I will be glad to get out of the black ones for awhile though!  They timed that just right, it's about to turn hot, better send out the black t shirts that absorb heat.  Yellow...hello...

I don't understand why they used an Italian "Accent" for the description when in fact Chef Boyardee was supposed to have been French?  Hmmm
