I spent many, many years detesting how Wal-Mart was such a lousy store and bad for other businesses. I also delighted in singing Kroger's praises and trying to get Wal-Mart shoppers to convert. I spent many thousands in Kroger's stores for at least 10 years, probably more.
Then I went to work for Kroger. After seeing first hand the way they treat their employees the last couple of years, I have walked out of their doors never to give them another dime.And I will jump at any opportunity to let others know how behind the "Customer 1st" and smiling faces is the most intolerable acts of employee cruelty imaginable.
Wal-Mart is JUST FINE! Compared to the sleazy corporation that is Kroger, Wal-Mart is better, hands-down.
When will companies learn that when they treat their employees like crap, they are just chiseling away at their customer base. It's sad.

OMG, that's my story! I hated Walmart. Refused to shop there. Then I started working for Kroger and 3 1/2 years later I quit. I shop Walmart now and other grocery stores in town.
What a sad state of affairs when Walmart is a shining beacon on a hill compared to one's own employer.

Astute observation. They can't be serious about "customer first" when they are employee-last. Take reasonable care of your peeps so they can take care of your customers.
Dumb-arses . . . who think meanness conquers all. History begs to differ . . . and so do I.
Just quit Krogers after almost 8 almost 9 years there! Yesterday was my last day! I put in my two weeks notice. I was getting good money and heath benefits from the union. I only worked 20 to 30 hours a week the last 6 months because I had gone back to school and I was being treated like I was working 40 hours a week! I say about the last 3 years I was there they wrote me up for any little thing I did. Right or wrong they wrote you up! I worked there 5 year prior to that and never got a write up once! I should have quit when I was suspended for a week last August for what someone else did! They never came back afterward. I would rather get another job and make less money and be happy! Stress is not worth $14.95 an hour!
I wish them the best of luck getting someone for $8.50 an hour to do the things I did!
