About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Kroger, a regular customer noticed something strange one day. ‘Did you see that?’ he asked the cashier. ‘What?’ she replied. ‘The gas pump just started talking!’ ‘Talking pump?’ the cashier raised an eyebrow. A delivery driver overheard and walked up. ‘I’ve seen everything,’ he said, ‘but a talking gas pump? That’s new.’ Just then, the pump announced in a robotic voice: “Thank you for choosing Kroger—have a nice day!” Everyone laughed, including the pump, which seemed to smile with its neon lights.

2. At Kroger, a delivery driver stopped mid-unloading and pointed at an empty shopping cart on the loading dock. 'What’s this doing here?', he asked aloud. No one else seemed to notice until… …until a little old lady slowly walked up and said, ‘I left it here last week, dear.’ Everyone burst out laughing, including the delivery driver who realized he’d been talking to himself again. The old lady smiled and pushed her cart inside, while everyone went back to their business, muttering, ‘Must be getting senile in my old age.’

3. At Kroger, a small boy stared wide-eyed as his mother’s shopping cart suddenly veered off course, heading straight for the frozen foods aisle. Just then, an elderly gentleman passing by gently nudged the cart back onto its path with a smile and whispered, ‘Kids these days, always distracted by those fancy gadgets.’ The little boy grinned sheepishly, waved goodbye, and continued exploring the store, now more cautious but no less curious.

4. At Kroger, a delivery driver paused with a puzzled look on his face. Suddenly, he heard a faint humming coming from the fuel pumps. Curious, he approached the pumps and noticed an old man standing nearby, filling up his car. The man smiled and said, ‘Don’t worry, sonny, it’s just my electric guitar playing along.’ They both laughed, and the delivery driver realized that sometimes life in Kroger is stranger than fiction.
