Kroger

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a regular asked the cashier, ‘Why does that Kroger bag boy always look like he’s searching for something?’ The cashier shrugged and replied, ‘Oh, he’s not really searching—he’s just trying to find his dog who follows him everywhere.’ The next day, everyone in line laughed when they saw the little mutt trotting behind the bag boy, happily sniffing around the store.

2. One day, an elderly lady whispered to her friend in line: ‘Did you notice how every Wednesday, the same shopping cart mysteriously ends up near the bakery?’ Her friend shrugged and said, 'Maybe it's just a coincidence.' But on their next visit, they found the cart again—this time with a note attached: "Sorry for the inconvenience, I’m retired now." The two ladies laughed so hard that they almost forgot why they came to Kroger in the first place.

3. In the late afternoon, a delivery driver pulled up to the loading dock and noticed something peculiar. 'Hey,' he said aloud, 'why is there always a shopping cart parked here?' The more he thought about it, the stranger it seemed—until he realized that every time he came, the same old lady was pushing the cart from around the corner. ‘Ma’am,’ he called out, smiling. She waved back with a knowing smile, never missing an opportunity to grab a few extra bananas on her way home.’

4. One night, as customers were leaving, a voice crackled over the store’s intercom: ‘Attention shoppers—our new self-checkout scanner can now detect when you’re smiling!’ A few days later, an elderly neighbor came in and announced proudly that she’d been practicing her smile every time she checked out. The cashier just nodded knowingly, while everyone else chuckled. From then on, whenever someone left Kroger with a big grin, it became a friendly joke around town—‘Did you see their smile? They must’ve bought something really good today!’
