Everything was so fucking expensive. They also put in those refrigerators where it has the ads and they’re just as fucking awful and weird as the pictures would have you believe. Also, the big cctv showing you as you go down the aisle and check out are fucked. At self check out you can no longer mute it so it has to talk to you. Finally, they hired security to stand at the entrance of the store which is gross. edit: Some stuff was also locked in a cabinet

The devil is in that store. I’m so fucking pissed.

    I’ve had the opportunity to use the public bathroom in wealthy and poor neighborhoods and the difference is striking. [City name] grocery stores have combination locks on the bathrooms, [City name]-hills has sushi bars at the entrance.

      The last grocery store I worked at had a wine bar. So you could sit there drinking wine and beer and order food while someone shops for you.

      I hate this town.

        Oh this just made me realize that was the intention of the wine bar they removed from our Kroger during the remodel last year, and that I haven’t seen the snooty lady who ran it since then. 🤔

        I always wondered who tf that wine bar was for, I didn’t understand they were encouraging people to hang out while someone else shopped for them. They would occasionally have actual, live musicians standing around that area of the store! I remember thinking, “Wow, this is kind of A Lot for a wine tasting…” 🤦😂 now I finally get it.
