About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, as customers were browsing the aisles, an announcement crackled over the store’s speakers: ‘Attention shoppers, our self-checkout scanner has been programmed with a special feature—if you scan bananas, it will ask if you’d like to adopt a monkey!’ A regular customer scanned his bananas three times in a row just to hear the offer again. Finally, a delivery driver asked the cashier, ‘Did anyone actually adopt a monkey yet?’ The cashier shook her head and whispered, ‘Not yet, but I’ve seen people arguing with their groceries more than usual today.’
2. At nightfall, while a delivery driver unloaded crates in the backroom, he heard something odd—a soft humming coming from one of the refrigerated sections. Curious, he approached and peered inside. To his surprise, there was just an old carton of milk, gently singing itself to sleep. The next morning, everyone laughed it off as a prank by a regular. But every now and then, when the lights flicker late at night, some employees still swear they hear Kroger whispering 'Got Milk?'
3. At closing time, when only cleaning staff remained, a janitor noticed something odd: the cheese section seemed to be rearranging itself. Curious, he followed the movement and found that each block of cheese was gently sliding into place, as if guided by tiny invisible hands. Turns out, an elderly neighbor had been helping herself to free samples after hours—and thought she was putting everything back neatly.
4. One day, while a regular was checking out, the cashier asked with a smile: ‘Did you know that Kroger’s self-checkout machines sometimes scan items twice?’ The customer raised an eyebrow and replied, 'No, I didn't!' The cashier winked and whispered conspiratorially, 'That's because they’re scanning your loyalty card too.' Everyone in line burst into laughter, including the checkout staff, as the regular shook his head and smiled, thinking, 'Welcome to Kroger—where technology meets humor!'
