Kroger
reviews and complaints

I am a transgender woman, and a bagger at Kroger. I am afraid to disclose which store it is because I am suspicious that my store's assistant manager is looking for a reason to fire me for no reason at all. Front end is severely understaffed, the assistant manager only hired two people in the span of three months. He expects me to do everything as if I am taking care of West Minster Abbey, He expects me to be so quick at carts, that I keel over with severe chest pains, which I have warned several staff members about Several baggers quit due to this, I also feel unapreciated, as if I am a sponge for rude [censored], and [censored]. I also feel severely underpaid. What should I do?

I am complaining because this store is terrible about having things in stock. These are the 2 latest items, but typically there is ALWAYS something on my list that they are out of and don't have in the back room.
Tonight (10/11/19), I went specifically to pick up milk for my home-made yogurt. It HAS to be Fairlife and I use the whole milk because it is lower in carbs and sugar than low fat milk. After checking in the back room, I was told that the dairy manager was on vacation... I don't care. I cannot wait to make yogurt that I eat every day until the dairy manager gets back. Not my problem.
Artisan Cafe' - they discontinued it despite that fact that it was a great seller and used to fly off the shelves as soon as they got it. Anytime I asked for it, I was either told that they never carried it (they did) or that it must have been pulled because it wasn't a big seller (also not true). I was recently told that they discontinued it to make room for pumpkin creamers. I used to buy 4 at a time because it was so popular.

Oh yeah, and for those of us who work late and have to go later at night (10:30), we don't get the same service as people who work during the day and have to scan our own stuff because there are no full service cash registers open.

I slipped and fell in water left on the floor in the produce section of my local Fred Meyer store, resulting in a trip to the doctor, 3 weeks of physical therapy - and having to work "light duty" at my job for 3 weeks. Very painful. A Customer Care respresentative from Kroger call me 3 days later to express how sorry she was and said she was going to send me a gift card for my trouble. Her name is Michelle and her work phone is: 1-800-314-1814, extension 38694.

Well, nothing was mailed. When I contacted her several months later, she said she was unable to send a gift card because I had asked her to have my incident investigated as to why there was water all over the floor. She said she was unable to send me a gift card. So, a Kroger repreentative says she is going to do something, doesn't follow through, and then doesn't even let me know until I contacted her. This is the worst example of customer service, ever.

candy seemed hard to chew. looked at the expiration date it was posted was listed 05/03/2019. i purchased this on 10/8/2019. the id numbers were as follows 8E04VR1134. it might be a good suggestion to have kroger review the product and pull it off of the shelf. normally your products are satisfactory but not this time. thank you for your time. billy w. harris

To Whom It May Concern:
I Beverly Slater have been trying to reach someone for a year now and I am still trying to reach whom I need on this issue I have been facing. I purchased a package of Pineapples Tidbits on 5/27/2018 from Kroger while eating from container I saw a roach leg in it I contacted these people with Kroger Teresa Dickerson, Katherine B. Knox, Shelby Riley and Rodney McMullen on the issue no one got back to me until I was informed to send the roach leg to Pacific Coast Producers to view leg broke while putting into container to send so I still have other part. Pamela Mee call me and said it was piece of product I did inform her at that time they need to get another viewer because it is a piece of roach leg.
I am sueing for $20 Hundred Thousand Dollars for having roach leg in food.
I have done a lot of emails trying to reach out to whom I need, mailed letters to corporate 5/20/2019 (got no response back).
I did call again 7/30/2019 spoke to Asia Bailey and information suppose to have been recorded.
I do pray someone take the issue seriously to the end.

The weekly sale items, specifically "special deals" they advertised coffee pods @ spend $25 and get additional $10 off, they then priced the pods @$24.99, so you have to spend an additional $14.99 to receive the $10 off. Really Kroger, because of one penny, we have to spend $40...not a deal! An insult. You advertised, " One day only 50% off specific size Halloween candy, you had every size bag available, except the size the ad stated. Again Thanks! If there were another store closer then 70 miles I would never enter your Bennett store again, but I dont have that option, so I'll continue to patronize your facility, I will just watch your "specials" closer as not to be fooled again.

The delicious mashed potatoes you make have had cracks in the packaging in several of the tubs I have purchased from Kroger and Ninos Stores that are both in Troy, MI. I think you should check into the thickness of the tubs you are using. If I am finding them, I'm sure other customers are as well. I really like this product. Thank you for reading/listening.

It's simple, Zone Nutrition bars, cookie dough Kroger can not keep on shelf. All other favors their are plenty. And their are plenty of the big box that is not on sale fro 5 for $5 savings. Even when not on sale Kroger can't keep them on the shelves. Matter of fact I complained yesterday about the same problem and overnight Kroger Quadruple the big box's that are not on sale. And the small boxes are still sold out. It seems tome something that sales that good you would make sure an employee stocked that shelf 3-4 times a day. Unless Kroger is trying the ole bait and switch. Thats against the law don't you know.
Just what is the problem ? Can someone not order enough to keep the shelf's stocked. I mean it's every time for the past 4 weeks .I cant eat another flavor my doc says so. So what;s your answer, even yesterday because I am out I drove to the cedar bluff Kingston pike store in knoxville, ten. Guess what ? They were sold out of the little box also, plenty of purge boxes costing $ 8.99 dollars more.
Come on Kroger get with it.

Today 9/24/19 at 5 pm after work I went shopping at this Kroger in buford (GA) on Hamilton mill road .I have bought lots of items $160.00 worth, when checking out the bagger Garett scanned part of my coupons and for every 2 or 3 coupons he walked away to find the Manager in charge, every time he was gone another 5 -10 min went past. The 3-rd time around he left again and came back and told me that he could only take 2 manufactured coupons . I wanted to get the Starbucks coffee sale buy 5 get it for 6.99 deal . So since he only wanted to take 2 coupons it would not have worked with my $1.00 off deal . I asked to speak to a manager u in charge ( Allison) and he left again to go get her. Another 5 min passing and after she got to me she explained the 2 coupon max deal and I told her that I would like to get this coffee deal today since it was the last day of the sale and I just got off work and need to get home. She started arguing with me and I asked for the store manager . She said that the lady is off today and nobody else would be in charge other then herself. The bagger now started talking in a disrespectful manner, he said that I made copies of my coupons and he knows that for sure Because of the way they looked like and Allison told him to stop and be quiet.
I decided to cancel the whole order since I could not use all the coupons for coffee .
Earlier when Garett scanned the other coupons he always left with them and went back and forth to speak to Allison ( manager in charge). Now after I cancelled the order I wanted my coupons back, I had about 20 manufacture coupons, some of them were really high dollar amount like 5 off 3 Colgate etc
All of a sudden nobody could find my coupons any more and 1 hr later I had to leave because they just ignored me and made a foul out of me by letting me stand there and wait.
I know that Garett put the coupons in the pouch but he said that they looked but could not find them . I think they were just made at me since I cancelled everything and they had to put it back.
So now I left without groceries and without my coupons, this customer service is very bad and instead of selling groceries they stole my coupons .
I am a single mom and rely on my coupons and saving wherever I can .
Hopefully you guys from corporate understand this and keep Kroger associates from doing this to other customers .
I will include a copy of my cancelled receipt and you can see that I hade many coupons which are now lost.
Thank you listening and making this right

I am a regular shopper at Kroger and frequent user of "Clicklist" online shopping. I also regularly purchase Marie Callander pot pies. My son loves them and they are really convenient. On my last online grocery purchase, I noticed that the pot pies had actually ice and frost on them. I recalled that this was not the first time I had seen this. Also that some of the pot pie boxes were so wet and warped, they ripped open and fell out. I kept thinking "why are the boxes always soggy, but frost and is on them as well". It didn't even cook the same. It was soggy and the crust was gummy. Then I realized...what I had been given was the defrosted and refrozen "go backs" that they couldn't and wouldn't put in the store but sold instead to clicklist customers. THIS IS FRAUD! As a single parent and educator who works very hard for the money I spend at Kroger, I'm really appalled. this not the first time nor the only Kroger Clicklist store where this "bait and switch" has taken place. As I recall, it has taken place at at least 3 different Krogers where I pick up my groceries. This experience has made me question the whole Clicklist option. Am I supposed to be sacrificing quality for convenience? Is this what the customer deserves?
