A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Kroger, a delivery driver noticed something strange one night. While unloading groceries, he heard an eerie voice over the intercom: ‘If you’re reading this, grab a dozen eggs and wait.’ Curious, but not alarmed, he did as instructed. He grabbed the eggs and waited, and soon heard another message: ‘Now go check out aisle seven for a box of cereal.’ He found it, took both items, and returned to his truck. Later that evening, a regular customer asked him if he’d seen any good deals today. With a smile, he replied, ‘Just some mysterious messages from Kroger’s ghost stocker!’

2. At Kroger, while loading boxes onto shelves late one night, a delivery driver heard a soft whimpering sound. Curious, he looked around and saw a tiny kitten peeking out from behind a stack of cans. The driver picked up the adorable ball of fur and carried it back to his truck for warmth. Turns out, little Kroger had stowed away in a box full of canned goods. The next morning, everyone at work laughed when they found out—they named her ‘Canned Purrs’ because she seemed to come with every shopping trip.

3. At Kroger, while stocking cans on high shelves, a delivery driver suddenly smelled something sweet and familiar—like freshly baked cookies. Curious, he looked around but saw no one.} As he followed his nose, he found an old oven in the corner, half-hidden behind crates. Inside was a tray of golden brown cookies, still warm from baking. Turns out, a neighbor had accidentally left them there after making too many for her family gathering. The delivery driver grinned, thinking, ‘Now that’s what I call a lucky break!’

4. At Kroger, in the early hours of morning, a delivery driver was restocking the soda aisle when he noticed something peculiar. A small dog, seemingly lost amidst the colorful bottles and cans, kept staring intently at an empty shelf. The driver bent down to pet him but found no collar—only a note stuck to its collarless fur that read: ‘Please help me find my favorite drink.’ The delivery driver chuckled, thinking it must be some new flavor the little guy liked so much. He picked up several random sodas, placed them on the shelf, and watched as the dog eagerly sampled each one. Finally, with a satisfied wagging tail, the pup settled for a strawberry-flavored drink—a taste neither man nor dog had ever tried before. That night, Kroger became famous for its unconventional promotions.
