Kroger

UGH I hate this place so much. I go here for emergencies. What a horrible place to shop. I hate parking here. The parking lot really sucks. Also, I can barely ever find the things I want here. The produce isn’t that great, either. Compare to the produce just down the street at the other Kroger. The worse the neighborhood, the worse the produce at Kroger. Sorry if you’re poor, because your produce will rot.
Do you know that Kroger plays shit songs and the employees are supposed to stop what they’re doing for self reflection? As if. I was all like, «Why do I hear Man In the Mirror every time I go to Kroger?» (it’s Happy now, btw) Can you imagine the kind of douches who would come up with that idea? I don’t want to shop at their store.
The only thing I like here at this Kroger is that the cashiers and baggers are nice. They don’t get paid enough, though.

I love this Kroger’s, not just because of what it is, but also because of what it is not.
It’s not a mega-​box-​beheamoth where you need to park in 7 °F, walk through a bank, a clinic, a jeweler, home furnishings, and the sushi station just to get what I need for dinner.
This Kroger probably has what you need and, depending on what you’re looking for, you can be in and out in minutes. It’s selection is decent. If you’re looking for imported, organic, free-​range kale you might be S.O.L., but if you just need basic ingredients that pretty much every supermarket stocks anyway… you got it.
Plus they have a friendly staff, and you usually get through check-​out in good time.
I don’t know if Kroger’s checks Unilocal,but if they do let me say: Please build more Kroger’s like this. I know the tendency is to build Wal-​Mart approximations, but I think your customers would be better served by having smaller, but still well stocked stores that are the focal point of the neighborhood, rather that the anchor in some strip-​mall.

The parking lot itself discourages me from going. It is entirely too small And crowded for the Kroger. It’s an accident waiting to happen. As for the store itself, it isnt a spacious new Kroger layout, just the standard Kroger. If it weren’t for the parking lot, I would shop there more often, but I prefer to go the next grocery store instead.

Helpful employees and a pretty decent natural food selection.

Compared to the Anderson Township Kroger, which you hear reports is the busiest Kroger in the land, this location is nothing like it and that’s exactly why I like it.
I don’t mind going a little later at night even if it means I’ll be using the self check and bagging my stuff, I prefer to pack in as few bags (which I bring) as possible.
After walking through the breads and produce, you don’t have to walk around patio tables and a jewelry store to get to the rest of the groceries. There is still some general merchandise that I’d rather not see and instead more variety of groceries, but eh. I find I can move through this store pretty quickly and that’s key for me since I detest grocery shopping (yes, I’ve tried shopping late at night at Anderson and the staff blocks aisles with stocking or cherry pickers changing light bulbs that you can’t get what you want and no, they don’t offer to move).
The hidden gem of this store is the floral department. On the wall, they have some separated them out by price so you can shop in your price range. If there’s some one the department, you can ask them to remove the plastic wrap and put in tissue paper with ribbon so it looks like you went to a florist.
