Idk what the smell is but when it rains it seems to get worse. It might be coming from receiving might be a dead rat or 3. These people cant ever keep the store clean there is plastic wrap on the floor pallets all over the damage food is piled up. No one likes to clean here I guess. Typical animals I guess

If your Kroger really stinks, the most likely culprit is the "Garbage Compactor" (or whatever your store calls it) connected to the backroom area. The compactor may take several days before it is completely filled with garbage, and gets emptied (or replaced with a different receptacle). In the meantime, busted milk jugs, rotten steaks and hamburger, spoiled eggs, moldy produce, rancid food of all types, rotten, bloody chicken parts, busted containers of this and that, all combine to make a nasty smell. If the wind direction is just right, and depending on how your store is built/arranged, the smell can drift down back hall ways and sometimes into the store sales floor also.
Another source of bad smells can be the meat and seafood dept, if they are not kept as clean as possible..... regularly mopped down with chlorinated cleaner.

Another source of odor is from floor drains that are in out of the way places. If water isn't flushed down them every so often, the water in the trap evaporates and sewer gas comes up from the drain.

I think youre right with the compactor. There have been the worst or the worst smells coming from there
There was a store in my town that, as soon as you walked in, the stench of rotten fish assaulted your nostrills. You could practically ride this almost palpable wave of gross aroma right back to the meat department----where nobodyworking there seemed to notice or mind.
I'm no expert on the retail business, but I'd bet big money customers don't wanna smell nasty p*ssy

Has it always been a problem? Or has it just started?

Things always seem to get thrown in the compactor that should not be. Like Milk should be poured out and eggs should be put in a bag also chicken and any other meat should be in a bag to keep the smell down.
I have posted before about the nightmare I had when the Compactor broke and they left it broke several weeks we had a over the top or open top. People would leave trash in carts I mean like over 50 carts were left out with meat chicken and it was like July and the bags were leaking and there was maggots.

Not liking my manager was one reason I quit. It may not always be a good reason but was good enough for me. I just felt like it was time to go. When 2019 started I knew then I wanted to be out by the end of that year.
It was my New Years resolution. First time I ever really did a resolution. But this man I never like him from the beginning. He had a smart "I know everything I am never wrong attitude" And at the time it was looking like he wasn't going anywhere. There was one before him just as bad that one day cussed at me.
I respect you and do my job as you asked I expect to be treated back with respect.
A lot of what happened had to do with the compactor being broken for weeks and weeks and shopping carts of trash left out with maggots flies and all other kind of grossness.
This post may give out who I really am but I do not care anymore. I still have pictures of all that trash that was left also shopping carts left in the back room a bunch of them with trash. Now who wouldn't be pissed? I am telling you this went on for awhile. I was also told I had to get down on my knees and scrape bubble gum off the sidewalk. They gave me some king of spray that was supposed to freeze it then easily scrape up. But it wasn't that easy but the manager knew it all and said it would come up. He also wanted the sidewalk power washed and he wanted it to be solid white like it was new just put down. Now this is enough ranting I may post more if asked.

So last weekend the compactor broke. I came in last Sunday morning shopping carts parked all by the compactor. It took a few days to bring open top. I don't know why but it did. The compactor breaks every month. I have seen the store manager chuck pallets the small display pallets not the blue ones. But some pallets are almost as big. I was always told to but all pallets on the salvage trailer. Well we got the trash in the over top long story short. One bag fell on the ground has chicken and was very greasy and filled with maggots. Yes there is maggots all behind the store and flies until they get this all worked out. Well I told them yesterday I needed a shovel. I had to go home early a few days ago all that nasty got on me and I was smelling really bad. I told them yesterday I needed a shovel. They refused to go get one. I said I don't know how you expect me to get it. The bag was very heavy I got pictures. The compactor never broke until this manager came and started putting pallets in the compactor.

i can agree to this. No one wants to smell fish pussy at the front end. Seems lots of fatty woman up front dont like to wash that nether region.
