3. No thanks. Nothing that Bloomberg supports is of interest to me.

And the former Monsanto PR rep, Sharon Watts, doesn't impress me.

It's no secret here that I don't support intimidation campaigns lobbied against major chains to pressure them into taking some stand just to get them off their backs.

I'm no fan of open carry, but I think it's a local call.

BTW, idiots walking around with ARs are such assholes.

Sorry, can't support Bloomberg's projects with Monsanto's moms.

4. disgusting

unable to shop without their piece - pathetic

5. Kroger sucks.

[Omaha Steve]

6. I should have put up a disclaimer

Marta and I shop there. They are the 2 closest stores to us. The Omaha stores are non-union. Most of the cities nationwide are unionized. Well there is a Wal-mart grocery. I guess we will go there.

We signed the petition. The next step is to call the home office. Thanks to our reward card, they know just how much we buy a month. IF they don't do like other retailers have done and flipped on guns, we will go elsewhere.

Several DUers work for Kroger too.

7. Out of curiosity...

... have you seen anyone carrying in your Kroger? I shop at Kroger and I have never seen anyone open carrying like the dudes in the pics. I have spent a ton of money at Kroger over my lifetime, so the way I see it, they owe me. Will confront the store manager tomorrow about their policy.

11. At our two Bellevue stores no

There is an open carry group that has been going into businesses that allow them in. So who knows.

[RebelOne]

17. I shop at Kroger at least twice a week,

and I have not seen anyone with a gun. And this is in Georgia where open carry has recently been legalized.

[marions ghost]

24. Wal Mart allows open carry doesnt it?

--anyway I appreciate your boycott. We all need to know the policy of stores on this.

[niyad]

8. I do not recall seeing an armed person (with the exception of a police officer) in my

kroger store.

oh, and by the way, men are not allowed topless in my kroger store.

[whopis01]

16. that's the point

The topless man isn't allowed in - but the gun toting person is.

[niyad]

[X_Digger]

10. You mean the former Monsanto PR shill has ran through Bloomberg's money already?!?

tsk tsk tsk.

[Logical]

22. So you are ok with open carry I assume? nt

[MADem]

14. I like the awareness aspect of the ads.

Now, on the one hand, if the "community standards" where the Kroger's is located allows that sort of thing, well, whoop-di-doo. The chain is probably going to bow to community sentiment.

What those images do for me is inspire me to SHOP ELSEWHERE.

[Moostache]

15. Armed Up, MUST shoot.

If the police of the po-dunk towns and villages of Amerikkka can see their way to opening fire on and killing unarmed black youth, then I believe we should start seeing a lot more reports of police shooting armed white people...yeah, I won't hold my breath...

[Barack_America]

18. Well, I won't be shopping there for a while.

Now every gun nut is going to have to open carry there to "make a point".

Thanks for the heads up. Aldi, here I come.

21. I don't understand why they made the people that can't get in so pissy looking.

And why did they pick a guy with such an ugly body for the no shirt pic?

Anybody able to explain that to me? Seems like it would have been better to show them looking happy.

[davidpdx]

23. You mean why couldn't they have showed a hunky guy?

You are right about showing someone who is equally as happy for comparison. Makes you wonder if the person without the gun is looking to eat someone for lunch.
