Good. I started going back to Kroger’s recently. I had trouble in the past there.
About a year ago, I went back and noticed a huge change in the store. They had not modernized it, but the meat was much fresher than it was and the store clerks are much friendlier. They had to have a change in management. I enjoy shopping there now. And the fact that they are not going to be bullied is another plus for continuing to support the local Kroger. Surprising what good management can do for a store.
Kroger must have gotten their unions under control, or perhaps gotten rid of them.
Kroger bailed from my market thirty years ago after having all kinds of problems with the unions. Before that the stores were just as you described. Dirty with surly employees.
