Kroger

I frequent this store more than I would like.
Over the past 3 years customer service has declined as well as the appearance of the store. The carts now are often full of trash and the floor underneath the cart corral region in the entrance of the store is nasty.
The deli section is nice. The produce section is ok, Meijers is top with variety and quality imo.
Good deals with coupons and their online coupon service. I also love the points you get when you buy things that can go towards gas discounts.
Management needs to tighten the reigns on this store imo

I visit this Kroger sometimes multiple times a week. Yep, that’s what happens when you keep forgetting to make a grocery list. Anyhoo, this place is pretty standard. I find it brighter and more spacious than other Krogers. Random thought — I don’t know where they stream their music, but sometimes they play the best jams from the 80’s and 90’s. I’ve been caught a time or two singing and dancing in the frozen food aisle! I have no shame! :-) Hit or miss on the customer service. Some staff members will barely speak to you while others won’t stop. You are pretty much on your own if you want to find something. The sales are fantastic. They also have two discount bins near the frozen food section where you can find some pretty good deals random items. It’s not the best Kroger, but not the worst. It’s close to home, so I will continue to shop there.

This is one of the newer/​larger Kroger stores. Upscale as befitting the neighborhood.
As with the other Krogers, you need to shop the weekly sales, otherwise you pay too much. And in order to get the sale price, you have to use a Kroger affinity card. However, if you don’t wish Big Brother Kroger tracking your purchases, you can ask to use one of the blank un-​issued ones that are at all the cashier stations.
P. S.: It has been pointed out to me that if you pay with a credit or debit card, your purchases are also tracked by major chain stores. Generally speaking this tracking is not done for nefarious purposes, but rather for marketing purposes and other «data mining».
However, you never know when innocent purchases (suppose you always buy the beer for the monthly poker game or football watching party that you and your buddies have) can be used against you (your ex-​wife uses your beer-​buying history as «proof» that you’re an alcoholic, in a child-​custody case. Don’t laugh, that has actually happened.)
