I hate it when my local Kroger has NO attended check out counters.

4. Big problem with Kroger stores.

The one we used to go to, which is literally within walking distance of home, used to have a lane open at 8am. Then they changed it to 9am. A couple weeks later, it was 10am. This was during the height of the pandemic when most early shoppers were older people who were confused with self checkout. It was a zoo. We stopped shopping there.

I found a Kroger about 20 minutes away that has a checkout open at 8am. The woman who works it is absolutely delightful. Last week, she wasn’t there, and I had a full cart of groceries. The woman working at the self serve called the manager over, and he opened a lane and even helped me unload my cart.

Most Kroger stores in my area are poorly managed disasters. I almost pinched myself to make sure this was really happening.
