It's been a little over 4 months since I was let go from Kroger. well recently I went back into my old store and I noticed they are doing Taste of Italy again. Why? It failed last time and they are doing the same crap again. Sounds like the clinical definition of insanity to me.

nobody seems to have a definite answer, but it seems obvious that somebody made a deal with somebody else and said "yeah we'll take on x-number of product" Nobody gets into these 'taste-of' promotions. I think even if the product were 100% free to the customer (without another purchase) it wouldn't go over well. This is money NOT well spent. There's a moron somewhere up the line. my 2 cents
Just like last year, this was a colossal failure yet again. We've got cart loads of this junk cluttering up the back grocery hallway because people (once again) weren't that freaking interested. It's all (again) being marked down for quick sale and while it's starting to sell a bit better now that we've slashed the prices, we're still probably going to selling the marked down products months from now, just like last time.
It's so frigging frustrating to see Kroger waste money again and again on stupid stuff like this all the while not wanting to pay people a decent, competitive wage or staff stores properly!
Doing well, but looking for another job. I was working at a call center for 2 months and after I got on the call floor I was let go because my call times were too long even though in OJT we still didn't know the systems.
I recently saw "Taste of Spain" aprons on sale at Amazon for $4.95 plus shipping. We just finished Taste of Italy here and the products didn't start to sell until they were marked down. Why were you let go from Kroger?
Taste of Italy (predictably) bombed for the second year in a row, lol. Kroger loves to blow money on anything and everything - except the employees. Our backroom was cluttered with shopping carts full of the overpriced Taste of Italy junk. Like the above poster said, once we started slashing prices, the stuff began to move - albeit slowly.
Yet still, I fully expect for Kroger to waste even more money and do Taste of Italy for a third time in the row next year! lol
