Kroger Foods

As far as grocery stores go, this one is OK. I feel kind of bad for anyone who lives in Decatur because Kroger is your only true option (beyond Wal-​Mart and Target) and it’s only so-​so.
First of all, the parking lot is really messed up! Where does it end? At the bank ATM, I guess? During normal times of the year it’s confusing enough, but a few days before Christmas it’s even more of a cluster.
The grocery store itself is «meh». The produce selection is mediocre and doesn’t really appear to be terribly fresh. Granted, I’m used to larger city grocery store selections and the occasional farmers’ market. In comparison, Kroger just doesn’t make the grade.
Finally, the employees are generally pretty nice. Much nicer than one might expect. They usually ask how you are and if you prefer paper or plastic, something you don’t always hear at other grocery stores. But it’s not enough to keep me coming back for more. Unfortunately, due to lack of options this is the only grocery store where my parents shop.
