Kroger is doing this nationwide as well.They are in the company doing this in athens county,athens ohio.I call it theft.
I know, what’s going on? QFC does not give change back. Where does the change go, back onto my debit card or into their pockets?
Kroger, Ralph’s here and Smith’s when I’m in Arizona are supposed to scan a barcode on the register that will deposit the change to your card. If they don’t scan it, you get screwed. I had a long talk with the manager about it and she handed me a $5 for my trouble.
I also told her that they should kick the CoinStar machine to the curb, give every customer something for every 5 or 10 bucks worth of coins, such as a couple of free oranges or apples, and the problem would be solved. This is a BS problem invented by the same tyrants that have effed-up everything else.
