When you ask for change and I tell you we're not allowed to give out change, that you can only get change from the service desk, you throw a hissy fit at me. Oh, "I get change here all the time." No, that's a lie, we're not ****ing allowed to give out change. Oh, "now you want me to go to the service desk to get change, and the service desk is closed. Is that how you treat your customers?" I only gave you a fact. We're not allowed to give out change and that you can only get it at the service desk. It's not my fault the service desk is closed because you're here late at night.
You're able bodied but use one of our electric carts. Bonus points if you ask an associate to go get you a different one because the one you chose is "too slow." I do understand, you have Springer and "court shows" to get home to!
You ask every employee the same dumb questions. "Do you work here?", etc.
You insist that an item is on sale. I go to where the item is located to check. It's either next to another item that's actually on sale or the sale price expired.
You also tell me where you think said item is at just to send me on a wild goose chase.
We're supposed to know where everything is located all the time.
You leave a suspended order of a full cart of groceries (or two) either on the sales floor or in one of the coolers. It's there all day. You either don't come back or you do just after everything is put back.
You tell me and anyone else who can't miss your loud voice that you can get an item cheaper somewhere else.
It's a busy day. You ask me where all of a certain type of carts are. One reason is that everyone else before you is using them. Another reason is the previous bagger didn't or couldn't get all of them from the lot.
I could tell you more, laddies and lassies. It all makes our poor bairns suffer, doesn't it?
* Had a guy call and want me to bring him out a bottle of Jack to the parking lot, where he'd pay me
* Had an old hag who found our one busted wheel cart that was loud as HELL, screeching all across the store, and refused to let us swap her out a good, quiet one
* Had a guy who left his over flowing full cart sitting unattended for at least a half hour; when I removed it, he came screaming at me
* Had c u n t-omers literally aim their cars right at me and almost run me down like roadkill when I was pushing carts
...if you're fat, female, have funky twisted toes, and you're fifty+ years old.
I hate fat women that LOVE to waste everyone's time. You count out your pennies, insist on price checks, complain about everything ...as the line behind you grows longer. And it's all due to your own weight that causes you to think slow, etc.
P.S. Ban fat women from grocery stores!
P.S. again: If you're fat PLEASE do NOT wear flip-flops! No one doesn't want to see your gross fat swollen toes!
I have another one. A customer will come down to my end of the lane and start bagging. No pardon me or nothing. And they just throw anything they can grab without looking into the bag. Not my fault if their eggs are busted or their produce has meat blood on it.
I don't think any Krogers sell liquor. So what was up with the customer who wanted the bottle of Jack? I have customers who from time to time ask me if we sell vodka (no we don't)

I was a salaried manager for another retail chain. .. One day I took a call from a guy; he said he was out in the parking lot, third car in lane 12, and he needed a pint bottle of Jack. He knew the price and had the total with tax figured; all he needed was for me to fetch it out to him. He promised to pay the full amount plus give me 'a handsome tip'.
It was one of those surreal moments where you're standing there slack jawed, simply incapable of reaction for several seconds. I stammered something like 'No, I don't.....WHAAAAT? Sir, we can't...I mean....naw man, you need to go some where else, have a good day' lol

A few of our King Sooper, division of Krogers here in Colorado, have full liquor departments in our Marketplace stores.

My Kroger sells LOTS of liquor. (It isn't something I am proud of). Kroger company LOVES selling stuff generally known as "vice products". Cigarettes. Beer. Wine. Liquor.
In addition to all the packaged junk food and cheap processed lunch meats etc that help shorten the lives of Americans.
Anyway, whether or not your local Kroger sells liquor probably has to do with the demographics of the area and/or the local laws covering alcohol sales.
Stores in 'lower class' neighborhoods might be more likely to sell alcoholic products including hard liquor. And stores in some neighborhoods, regions or areas of the country where the population drinks heavier (such as those with a high percentage of Irish or German Catholics - who have a reputation for drinking heavier than the general population) may sell more in their grocery stores.
Yeah my store has a liquor store inside of it. It depends on state laws too. You have to have a license from the county in Ohio to have a liquor store, so the store i work in has one but the store in my town does not. We can only sell stuff under 21% in stores without the liquor store.
