Re: Off Topic 2011

I worked at Kroger for 2 1/2 years in high school and it was great. I got payed $6.25 but it was a cool job. It would of sucked more if I was a bagger or something but I was in produce and most of the time I worked alone.

See, I was a bagger... excuse me, a Front End Associate.

Turrible job. Turrible hours. Turrible pay. Turrible coworkers.

Tuuuuurrrible.

Re: Off Topic 2011

This woman pissed me off at work..

I helped her and her daughter replumb their bathroom toilets..

They have 1/2 in CPVC coming out of the floor and want to put a shut off valve in and run a new supply line to the toilet.

I give her three different options, the latter being the "new" shark-bite plumbing way.. compression fitting that slides over1/2 cpvc that's a shut off valve.. and has a 3/8 fitting coming off of it.. to hook a supply line to for the toilet...

I've been selling this **** for two years and never had a complaint..

she comes back and tells me it damaged her pipe.. doesn't want to do it either of the other two ways I showed her.. and wants to do some kind of bull **** rigging to get her water back to her toilet..

I tell her I've shown her the three options she has, with what we have to work with, and that's all I know to do.. without replacing any pipe..

she doesn't like my ideas, calls my last idea garbage, but still wants me to help her...

I hate retail sometimes..

I know that was some horrible grammar, but I had to type it in a hurry.. lol

I got so many people returning Sharkbite plumbing fittings when I worked at the depot. Some people just don't know what they are doing and should really have someone do it for them.

Yeah I felt bad for the baggers. At my store I was one of the few high school students who wasn't a bagger, and everyone in my department was 30 or over but I didn't have any issues with them. My store had a party for me when I left. It was a good job to have and I liked the management.

I remember giving my two weeks notice and the manager telling me that I was one of the only people that had ever given two weeks notice while he was working there.

That shocked me.

Either way, I still shop at the Kroger that I was employed at. Granted, that was... 6 years ago at this point.

Re: Off Topic 2011

There's actually a store named Kroger? I shop Kroger brand at my local grocery store (foods co) didn't know it was an actual store.



What. Happened. Here. Although I do enjoy when the topic gets on food...

Really? It's a a pretty big deal. Wikipedia sayz "It is the country's largest grocery store chain"

Re: Off Topic 2011

I would have told her to hire a plumber then. Plumbing and electrical is one of those things you should really leave to a professional before you cause more harm then good.

I never seen a Kroger and I lived in the midwest for most of my life.

Kroger is the company behind a lot of chains, like Foods Co, Fred Meyer, etc.

Re: Off Topic 2011

I looked on their website and apparently Foods Co (the store I referenced earlier) is Kroger but just named differently.

Kind like Hardees and Carls JR I guess.

Oh ok, out of the list the only one I been to was Pay Less when I lived in Northwest Indiana. But growing up in Chicago, the only grocery stores we had was the following:

Jewel
Dominic's
Omni's
Aldi's

Now I am sure decadeds later they probably have more in Chicago now, but for me as a kid, Chicago was a very closed market.
