About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a regular asked the cashier, ‘Why does Kroger’s self-checkout always say “Item not found” when I scan bananas?’ The cashier smiled and replied, ‘Because our scanner thinks bananas are invisible.’ A delivery driver overheard this and chimed in, ‘No wonder they’re always out of stock!’ The regular laughed and said, ‘Guess I’ll just keep scanning them until they believe me.’
2. One day, as customers were browsing the aisles, an announcement crackled over the store's speakers: 'Attention shoppers—we apologize for any inconvenience, but our new self-checkout scanner has decided that bananas are actually ketchup.' A nearby delivery driver, hearing the commotion, popped his head into the store and asked what was going on. After explaining the situation, a regular customer chimed in, ‘Hey, maybe it’s because they both come from the same family—banana peels are slippery like ketchup spills!’ Everyone burst out laughing, and soon enough, the scanner started scanning everything correctly again.
3. One day, in the dairy section, a little girl pointed excitedly and whispered to her mom, ‘Mommy, why do these milk cartons look like they’re smiling?’ The mother smiled and gently replied, ‘Honey, it’s just the way the light bounces off them.’ Suddenly, an older gentleman passing by chuckled and said, “I used to tell my kids that those were the smiley cows from happy farms!” Everyone laughed, and the family left Kroger with a new memory—and maybe even a few extra smiles.
4. At midnight, when the store was empty but for a lone delivery driver, a soft humming began to echo through the aisles. The humming grew louder and more distinct, until it sounded like an old-time record player. Soon enough, an ancient vinyl album started playing from somewhere in the back, filling the store with scratchy jazz music. The delivery driver, startled but curious, followed the sound deeper into the store. Finally, he found an old gramophone hidden behind some boxes of canned beans, its needle gently tracing an LP labeled 'Supermarket Swing'.
