I use to work in a grocery store deli (not Kroger). I hated it. Not the job but the people I had to work with.
I could have sworn these were the requirements to work in that department:
1) female
2) 40+ y.o.
3) fat and sometimes tremendously fat
When the gals who let themselves go, did not have a customer to help they would be stuffing their faces with expired meat when no one was looking. During breaks the beef-aloes would be eating pork related meat during their lunch break like they need it (image a recovering alcoholic working a bar) instead of low-fat meat like chicken or turkey in small quantities. Since I was the only guy working in the department who was in physical shape and doesn't normally eat those meats I appeared to be a target for their complaining on do this/do that.
Same way at Kroger?
The beef-aloes wanted certain tasks done during the day but would not share that with me while I was being trained. I eventually quit not because of the job/customers but because of the fat ones I had to take directions from that were in bullying mode and had an attitude.
Eventually I lost my cool and quit. I said in confidence to a fellow rare and in-shape coworker in that department "that fat one better shut her mouth up!"
Haven't been back since. Curious if that's true for Kroger too

My deli department employs 3 fatsos as well. 2 of them sneak pastries in the cooler to gobble them down not paid for either. They sweat like pigs when they smell the pastries and thats the reason to eat them in the cooler so they dry off. I took one pastry cause my sugar was to low and this fat oompa loompa tried to tel me no. Umm excuse me Buffalo butt? You e eaten 8 of these **** off im taking this. She fat and black and thinks shes the queen of deli. NOT

I'm going to add on to my post I made the other day:
A lot of people in grocery are over weight. So long as you can do the minimum requirements of the job you're fine. A lot of coworkers I work with are 50-200 lbs over weight. The store pampers us with junk food and pastries a lot in the break room and only adds to the obesity issues of workers. A lot of people are not happy in this line of work and only adds to food disorders as well.
You'd honestly fit right in. In the past year I lost 35 lbs after putting on 45 during covid years stay at home do nothing. It is possible to loose weight it's just more a will and determination to do so. Please stop relying on nanny gov to help you loose weight. It starts with you and the will power to get back into shape and an ideal ibm.
