WOW do a lot of the Kroger co managers around my town seem.........well, I'll list my observations:
1. STRESSED. I mean, red faced looks like a massive heart attack is imminent.
2. Creepy quiet and withdrawn......absolutely will NOT make eye contact, and seem always on the verge of telling you to fk yourself.
3. Actually an extension of 2.: snarky and sullen with their employees. And last ~~~
4. SMOKERS. I mean, this is almost a local epidemic. Every store here has at least 2 of these cos out front huffing Marlboros (re 1. 'red faced/imminent heart attack').....
Most all of that is recognizable and rings true. (You didn't mention the boat loads of pills--mostly legal--taken by Krogrr employees, and is the ubiquitous marijuana worth mentioning?)
It might be accurate to say Krogrr treats most management personnel poorly, too, demanding long hours and imposing absurd expectations.

You just described my co-manager. I'd always catch him outside near the fire exit puffing away. And he'd out there about 9 times in a 10 hour shift. Boy I feel bad for his lungs.
How about a trade then? We have one that is trying to do everything(other than work) she can to kiss corp's azz and show she can be a store manager. It is annoying and fake as shet. She will learn the only way to go up at Kroger is to be useless and not care.

Yep, that's what it feels like to be one. I never smoked, but I can confirm the epidemic.
That, and they drink like frat boys when given the chance. When we did co-manager outings, everyone got f-cking smashed.
