we have employees from other stores shop at our store all the time just to get away from their regular customers that would recognize them and bug them off the clock
They won't find out anything new if they do, they know what town i live in, and there's a couple other stores i might stop in once in a while... it really doesn't matter to me if they do know.
When Kroger Plus cards were first introduced, we all had to go to a meeting and we were all told that only three people in the entire Kroger company would have access to that information. Well, we all know how that turned out.
STR MGR can only see very basic information, only dealing with fuel points or if using ACE purchases their store. Even if a STR MGR wanted to see other purchases..who cares? Ask the STR MGR where they shop, buy gas, food places they eat at.
One time a manager from another store came to help our store because of the grand reopening. She was stuck up and hadn't spoken to any non-management employee all day. One of my coworkers and I were in the break room discussing how Kroger's was too expensive and which stores were better price wise. She was within earshot and her head snapped back to look at us, and she gave us the dirtiest look ever, like we had just insulted her mom in front of her.
Employees have the right to shop at whatever store they like. But, spending $$ at other competitor stores isn't giving yourself or other co-workers job security.

Still didn't speak with us though.
Because Kroger wants you to shop at Kroger. Preferably the store you were hired at, but any Kroger really. Because they are all "in it together." Letting management hear you shop at other stores, especially competition, is an affront to nature. Kroger cares nothing for your pockets or wages, ONLY that you shop at one of their stores
