Kroger in other cities:
Management staff is worthless. Completely. Zero customer service. Zero care. I got myself in a pickle and management could have helped or at least tried instead of shrugging and saying they can’t.Long story short I needed a prescription. I failed to learn that the pharmacy closes at 6. I got there at 6:30. I talk to the manager to see if there’s any way he could assist. Maybe call another Kroger in another time zone? Maybe be able to transfer the prescription in some way. At least try, or at least pretend to care.Instead he just shrugged and said no way to help. I’ve been in a situation like his before - and that is just an awful way to handle it. He even said like it was a matter of fact there is no Kroger in the pacific time zone. I know that to be a lie.I called one out west, they offered to help but since it was to be transferred to a Walgreens they said I’m better off calling an on call doctor. So I did and got my script I needed. No thanks to the guy that doesn’t care.
My experience this morning at Kroger was awf UK l on a Sunday morning no lanes open only self checkout. Im gonna rant I dont work for Kroger and them self checkouts takes jobs away..The attendant was rude when we asked if any lanes open my friend said I dont work for Kroger you should have a lane open she walked away n said I dont do the scheduling. Thats not how you address loyal customers. Management scheduler needs to schedule better especially on a Sunday morning. Needing management Kroger? Im available asap.
I visited the first drive Kroger location this afternoon and was very disappointed and upset. Ive been a Kroger customer for years because they treat you like family. Today was different. I had WIC coupons to use and got all the normal items with them. I placed everything by coupon on the belt to get rang up. The employees switched out to ring me up on the WIC. When it got to a cetrain item unknown to me that was no longer an offered brand the cashier made a scene over it. I explained to cashier that it was the usual brand that I was able to purchase with my coupons and inquired as to when it had changed. She looked me and said she didnt know when it change but it did. She was loud about the whole process and explained I couldnt have that brand but also couldnt tell me which brand was allowed. At this point Im really embarrassed by her reaction and tell her if she wont inform me on the correct brand I will just go back to isle and look again for the right one. Keep in mind she never offered to help but seemed content on embarrassing me for using my coupons. After returning to the isle there are no brands marked WIC so I am stumped as to which brand to get. I return to the front and inform her that none of the product tags are marked WIC like they are supposed to be. She pushes my items aside and continues to ring up other customers. Im ashamed to say I started to cry. Ive never felt so mistreated in all my life. I literally had to stand up front and wait to be rang up as everyone is staring at me. All this because I happened to grab the wrong brand. Why is it okay to shame a Mom for doing what she needs to do to take care of her kids? Finally, Bre the cashier collected my things and rang me up on a different checkout. She was pleasant and wanted to help. I just have to ask why was all this necessary? Why couldnt I have been treated like a person instead of trash?
Worst pharmacy in town. Filled my prescription online on Tuesday, came by Wednesday to pick it up and was told it would be 20 more minutes. I live out of town and needed to get my kids picked up and home so I left. Came back on Thursday and was told they are still working on it and it would take 10 minutes. This used to be a great pharmacy but the new faces behind the counter are not keeping up the standards that the previous employees had set. I will be changing pharmacies permanently after this. This review is intended for the south shores store.
It would have been a lot better if it had not been raining. People tend to run for it when its a very cold rain like that. I saw 2 people almost get hit by a car, there was almost 2 accidents and a pedestrian walked right into a pedestrian sign. Now that was funny. People need to slow down and observe whats going on around them. Some people want to act like you arent even there when you greet them, OK rejections tough but the ones that do give make up the difference. I made a commitment here and I will see that through even when I get ignored.
I always have a good shopping experience at Kroger. If I canr find something, there are employees who will help. They anticipate your needs. It is a much more pleasant than shopping at Walmart. Over all the prices are the same as Walmart. The quality of the products, that are made in house, are great. Kroger is my choice for shopping. You cant beat the gas saver points either!
I despise this store. The staff are so unfriendly and you almost never find someone behind the customer service desk and if you need to make a transaction be ready to wait a good 10 or 15 minutes. There is an old black lady named Gloria that works in the self check out that is just a rude angry person. Every time I am in town visiting my parents I would go to this location because it was closest to my parents house. However every time Gloria would be up in your bubble watching you like a hawk she makes you feel like you are trying to steal something. Its just not me because I noticed she does that to everybody. She will call you honey and babe which is just unprofessional. I now go out of my way to go to another Krogers location because I just cannot stand the staff at this branch.
This is my favorite Krogers store to shop at , its clean , tha employees r great !!! 😄 warm and friendly too . Excellent meat department and produce department as well 👍love tha welcoming overall feel of tha environment n this paticular Krogers store, this is my home town store , I dont generally go to tha other krogers n town .
Went in to get a gyro kit nobody knew where they were at sent me to look for them myself poor service the only reason why i gave then one star is because the woman in self checkout helped me out scanning my produce and helped me get out of there faster NEVER WILL I GO BACK AT NIGHT

2022-06-14I have been visiting this Kroger regularly and the staff isnt very friendly. The store is always busy and prices are ok but now great. This place definitely needs to learn customer experience.

2021-12-26Almost every time I go I to pay a bill the desk to do it at is closed when it should be open. I would understand if it was every once in a while if someone calls in or something like that but it is way to often they might as well block that area off as to not mislead people to think something might actually serve Its purpose.

2021-11-24Wow such a lot of hate for such a great store! Brilliant staff, great prices and convenient. Some people are just sad inside and like to complain a lot. Ignore the bad reviews. This is a great store. Never had a bad experience.

2021-07-26There is a cashier there that is so rude, today in the u scan a woman didnt see that it said card only, she turned to the cashier and ask and the cashier responded very condescending to her, yeah thats why there is signs up then the woman asked if any of the cashiers was excepting cash and she flat out lied and said no. I hate dealing with woman she cant hardly walk and if she has to help you in way she leans on the u scan and is always rude and treats people as if the were stupid. I tru to avoid her.

2021-08-22This is such a poor representation of the Kroger Grocery store chain. I was there in Friday, Aug 20, 2021 about 8:00 a.m. during senior hours. While a message on the entrance doors clearly stated that masks were STRONGLY encouraged and most shoppers had a mask on, NONE of the associates, checkers, stockers, NO employees were wearing masks! NOT ONE ! I only needed a few things but found several shelves completely empty. No bacon, no lunchables, frozen foods were very limited, many more items not available. Looked like several carts were waiting to be unloaded, but nothing was getting done. Very frustrating as this is the ONLY grocery store south of the lake. I am sure, if a senior executive from Kroger showed up unannounced, this store would be closed down. We, on the south end of town deserve better than this and should not have to drive to more affluent areas, such as north end of town which services Forsyth or to Mt Zion. What an embarrassment to the Kroger chain

2021-03-06This is a longer than normal situation. When I entered the store and found the restrooms, 2 staff members were talking for over 5 minutes like I didnt exist. Then one of them made a rude comment about this guy. Then when my family members were done shopping and ready to pay, no cashier knew how to use the online Kroger gift card, BUT as my wife read the instructions from her phone, the young clerk tried again using those instructions and it worked perfectly.SO, CONGRATULATIONS TO THE SUCCESSFUL CASHIER.2 constructive recommendations: keep your bathroom floors from being slippery as I almost fell in a locked room, and if you insist on using those triangular row labels, make the text as big as the bathroom signs. Not everyone has perfect vision!

2020-06-02A “manager”named Jamie works at this store (Kroger on 1st St. South Shores in Decatur, IL) and is just absolutely the worst at making any type of effort towards customer service. Neither is her manager Adam, I believe his name is. He also was just acting in a shocking manner over the phone towards me when I first decided to report an incident. The world is in a scary place right now. EVERYONE is feeling the effects of that, but I have worked in various departments of retail for over 6 YEARS! I have never seen a person that is supposed to have a title of management and act appropriately actually end up treating me and my family like criminals. My husband has been shopping at this Kroger for over 20 years. This employee decided to get violent and GRAB THINGS from his hands AS HE WAS CHECKING OUT and proceed to slap his hands out of the way while in the process of exiting the store that she was forcing him to leave because while wearing his sweatshirt as a mask WAS PERFECTLY FINE FOR HIM TO WALK THROUGH THE WHOLE STORE , PAST 5 OTHER EMPLOYEES, and START SCANNING THE 4 items he got. This “lady” came up and decided he needed to leave, RIGHT THEN. Started to take things from him and told him he needed to leave. He didn’t not understand. Rightfully so, he was going to be leaving the store anyway, why not let him leave the store with what he had already touched and made it through the store with anyway? Exactly. He was harming no one and not at all trying to disobey laws or make an exception of himself. He was GOING TO MAKE DINNER FOR HIS FAMILY! So she proceeds to follow him out as he is discussing the situation with her and how he feels it doesn’t make sense to him and she is just SPEWING OUT NONSENSE that he is never allowed back and she will be calling the police. Called and lied to the police saying he was blocking customers from coming in (he was exiting as she was still yelling at him and he was even “excuse me” “pardon me” to every person passing him so that parts funny) and even told the police he was going to try and steal the things she wouldn’t let him have. That is nonsense. It was hot dogs and hamburger meat, that he was already in the process of paying for. How should she be allowed to go to those length. This little power trip she was on makes you guys look disgusting. I even had to go back in to pick up those items that we needed for dinner CONSIDERING MY HUSBAND WASNT ALLOWED IN. I finished my shopping and got into an empt aisle before I went to check out, I started to adjust my mask and catch a breath and before I even exited the aisle as I was repositioning my mask THERE SHE WAS. Coming to verbally attack me, I say “I’m doing it, it’s on, just relax.“ So she then stops in her tracks and says YOU CAN LEAVE RIGHT NOW YOU KNOW. I told her I was already leaving and walked away from her. This is not right! I don’t even know this lady. And I’m sure she had no idea who exactly my husband is but IS SHE TREATING EVERYONE LIKE THIS? I have been trying to make myself understand why she possibly would have been allowed for act like this or why her manager that we were able to get ahold of decided not to listen to A WORD of what the complaint was and just said he wasn’t allowed back in the store. That’s just ridiculous to me. We spend a lot of money at that store, to also have this happening during an already very scary and difficult time in the world I can’t even go to my neighborhood store without being smarted off to by some employee and having her become physical with my husband.
