I work at the Kroger in Marion, ILL not in the front-end dep't but have heard some unsettling things about the manager. What I gather from the front-end employees is that she has always been a tyrant, but her recent escapades seem to go too far. A month or two ago a cashier who the manager doesn't get alo...

He had went hom...
