Why do idiots have to come to the store like a blizzard is coming every time it snows? I had to spend half my day up front because we were short handed and slammed because the weather man called for 2-4 inches of snow. Most of these people were recently in the store and I'm sure they didn't need that many groceries.
I mean it hasn't gotten but maybe a degree or two below freezing and everyone gets so damned freaked out!
Ever notice Kroger advertises more on those news channels during that weather report? I see more Kroger advertisements during the 5-6pm news. And if snow is there in the forecast, you can bet Kroger is stumping during that time. Its almost like the news channel wants that $$$ so they pump that big snow storm. They did that here about mid month, got those folks to burn that ebt card and SS up quick. Thats why the hard drop the past 2 weeks in business. Now if they get that paranoia going again, they'll have that $$$$ rolling in.
Sitting here watching this winter storm fixing to hit. Weather man says Ice and possibly snow this weekend.Announcing it every chance they get. Then guess what? Kroger commercial, you got it.
Only problem is those EBT cards won't get refilled till the 1st-6th of Feb. and the SS checks went out early at the end of Dec 2009 to keep them out of 2010. Next SS is the 1st Feb.Thats so there would be 12 checks in 2009 and not 11 with 13 in 2010. So that mid Jan big snow(didn't show) blew that SS and Foodstamps. They won't make a ton this time. No fresh money till after Monday. hahahaha
