So, it's Sunday. Football shoppers, thanksgiving shoppers. At capacity all day long, doing a 9hr shift on register, rarely have a bagger. About 5 of them are MIA, and lobby is somehow empty of carts. Then I have to wait until less than 2 hours left in my shift for my second break because all the baby cashiers have to go on break first. Sucks.
Sounds like my store today. I work at a marketplace and they are trying to run a big store on less hours. You cannot run a marketplace on less hours. I have almost 29 years with kroger and I just keep saying two more years two more years until retirement . 9
The whole store is a madhouse. Meat department is a madhouse because people are still buying frozen turkeys thinking they'll be thawed out by Thursday. Deli is a madhouse because of all the dinner orders and all the turkeys that have to be baked for customers. People are buying pumpkin pies, and other kinds too, from the frozen food section and the bakery department. They're buying bread from the grocery department and again from the bakery department. They're buying whipped topping from the frozen department and dairy department. They're buying lots of onions and celery for dressing from produce. Some are buying sweet potatoes too. Even floral is busy with people buying flowers for centerpieces. The only department that's not swamped with customers is the drug/gm department.
Oh yes, we've been slammed on the pumpkin pies in the bakery for sure.... we're getting a whole skid of them tomorrow night just in time for the last minute shoppers.

You can thaw a turkey by Thursday. Evidentally you've never cooked a turkey lol!
Yes, I have cooked a turkey. Although they can be thawed out by running cold water over them, the only safe way to do it is by thawing it out in the refrigerator. That takes 3 to 4 days. Anyway, I want to know why your assumption that I've never cooked a turkey is so funny to you.

It's a lot easier now that we have the pre-made pumpkin pies. We used to have to bake, package, and label them at the store. Combine that with all the fruit pies and all the extra bread and our oven was going constantly 24 hours a day Sunday thru Wednesday. The rule was the oven should never be empty. As soon as you put two channel carts of pies in the oven, you got two more channel carts ready to go in.

It is safe to thaw a turkey with cold water. Check out the United State of America Department of Agriculture website for more information. I've thawed both ways, fridge and cold water and I've never had any problems. It's just funny that you can't back up what you say with facts. Just because you say so doesn't mean it's true! Thaw and cook your turkey however you want, just don't put out false information from now on.

Call 1 800 BUTTERBALL and ask them. Here's directions from their website:
Theres also a faster method of thawing frozen turkey, cold water thawing. This method takes approximately 30 minutes per pound.
Butterball suggests thawing the turkey breast side down in an unopened wrapper, submerged in cold water. The water must be changed every 30 minutes to keep the turkey chilled.
Maybe if you explain why YOU think it is unsafe we can all band together and change the way turkeys have been thawed since the first turkey was frozen!!! LOL! It's still funny you turkey lol!

Kroger has a fear of its front end.
Some people have a fear of spiders.
Some have a fear of falling.
Some have a fear of snakes.
Kroger has a fear of its front end.
Why else would it avoid working with it and fixing multiple issues and staffing problems?
