Do you find it strange when customers say that this other grocery store (whole foods for example) is selling the same item for less, so they want the item for that price? That is why there are so many grocery stores, they have the same items for different prices, you pick the one that you like the most probably based on the prices. But why do you go to the more expensive one and ask for a cheaper price? I even remember that some managers/supervisors just give them the item for cheaper
Also............ lots of people shop at Kroger because they are under the impression that Kroger is more "upscale" or "better" than other grocery stores. A mark of "refinement' to shop here. Some of them seem to feel it is status symbol to be seen at Kroger. BULL. I shop at Kroger as well as other stores (Walmart, Meijer, Aldi's) and I see just as many "sleazy", "trashy" "scummy" (sorry, for lack of better terms) shop here at my Kroger as I do at those other stores.

Well Kroger IS more upscale than all three of those stores. All you have to do to see the difference is walk into the produce department. Wal-Mart, Meijer, and Aldi use damn RPCs as produce tables. It's very cost saving but it also looks terrible.
