There's a People of Wal-Mart site; I think there should be a similar one for Kroger!
True story------folks, I'm an imaginative guy, but there's some shiit you simply can't make up---: a couple come into the store I shop at. He is white and at least sixty years old; he looks like the Crypt Keeper, only wearing stappable pants the size of two boats too big for his skiiny ass......and he's pushing a wheel chair for a black woman who looks like Jabba the Hut.
She starts screaming that "MY DOCTOR SAYS I NEED TO TAKE A LAXATIVE! WHERE DA SHIIT AT????!!"
An assistant comes to intervene. NOW, the 'guy', CRYPT KEEPER, starts in: "well, she has been d'gnosed with spastic colon an an an she's, well, she done a'ready dookied in the car.......c'n ya pleaeese jus' hep us??"
several years back at one store I was working @ during the summer months, A gentleman who could be referred to as a hillbilly as slang came up to me and asked if we had any old strawberries that he could have. I told him I had already disposed of them earlier. He then said "oh man, I really need some, the doctor told my wife to smear them all over her body because she has sunburn." I kept a straight face but wanted to laugh real bad.
Thanks for the heads-up on the "People of Wal-Mart" site...certainly some humorous photos posted! We had a guy at my store about a month ago that sat indian-style in front of the donut case for 20 minutes, talking to himself.
we also had a old man who has several mental issues come in the store and lick the doughnuts in the bakery case and put them back.
There was a family at my store who just stood by and let their kids lick and bite almost all of the tomatoes on display. It's not like they didn't see what was happening, they were looking right at them. I told the kids to stop it because they were ruining the tomatoes and the parents gave me a dirty look, like somehow I was in the wrong. What is the matter with some people?
Oh, you guys have got some real good stories there...MUCH TOO MUCH LMFAO!!! Maybe you guys could start a post...FUNNIEST THINGS YOU'VE EVER SEEN OR HEARD AT KROGER. I'm sure you guys have got some mind-blowing doozies to share!!!
One day we had a sample of extra garlic hummus out and a lady with a baby stopped by. She picked up a pita chip and dipped it in the hummus, and then used it as a spoon to feed the hummus to her baby. She redipped the chip over and over into the hummus and spoonfed it to her baby. I felt nauseated watching and made a comment that double dipping in a sample wasn't good. She said "no no, it's okay, he's just a baby." At this point her baby was screaming..apparently he didn't like the hummus, but that didn't stop her and she fed him a few more times before walking off. I immediately took the sample in. I was so disgusted.
I never buy donuts from the donut case unless I'm the first one to buy them. I've seen too may people lick their fingers and then reach back in for another donut.
