Along with their eco-nut policy of soon banning all disposable plastic grocery bags

Aside from Walmart and a couple of mom and pop meat markets, Kroger has a monopoly in my area since marsh went under.

Krogers HAS been great for letting one inspect the back of their shelves, since they are always sold out of everything

My email to Kroger at https://www.kroger.com/customercomments

“If you check my Kroger Plus card, under ###-###-####. you will see I pretty much exclusively shopped at Kroger.

That is, until you decided to call for gun control. “We are also joining those encouraging our elected leaders to pass laws that will strengthen background checks”

I am a strong advocate of the Second Amendment, and for a company to voluntarily jump into the gun control debate is folly.

I can no longer shop at your stores. Aldis and Publix will do.”

Yep. For a dominant player in the the retail grocery market, not impressed. Underwhelmed.

In my small town I have Kroger and Walmart and a genuine butcher shop. Busy place during hunting season.

I have concluded that my Kroger is purgatory for managers getting punished. If Publix opened a store here it would put a serious hurt on it.

.. try living in bentonville.

If anyone gets in walmart’s way.. they’re done.

If you’re banned from Walmart, life is very different.

Is that throughout all Kroger stores nationwide, or just in certain states?

We have that INSANE policy here in The People's Republik of Connecticut. We get no more plastic bags from any stores, yet people are buying MORE plastic bags to line wastebaskets, etc. Plus we still use plastic bags for garbage, produce, etc.

I use *extra* plastic now in CT grocery stores. Every item that usually leaks or "sweats" (ie cold milk cartons), I just put in individual plastic bags from the Produce Dept. I don't want to clean that liquid out of my dopey reusable bags. I assume clear produce bags will be the next to go...
