What I don't get is when they hire staff on then treat them like cra--p and find some half affed excuse to fire them. Only to have the employee go to Costco and thrive in that environment. Costco is super strict and non union. Flakes get weeded out fast and don't last long. Kroger is begging for staff but they are so strict in who they want that they can't get anyone. Yet the staff that can't make it in kroger world end up going to a competitor and do just fine. I don't get it.

Because Costco treats its employees better.
They pay more. ALOT more from what I'm told. EVEN the "low guys" on the totem pole get paid more.
Because they value their employees and compensate them accordingly while affording a regular full-time schedule, turnover rates are extremely low and only about 9% are unionized. It's very very difficult to get hired there.
While our deli is actually Walmart's training department.
Thing is, Kroger hourly management is full-time poverty wage. With a randomly rotating schedule for the purpose of fairness as clopening needs to be for everyone.
