In consideration of the the personal safety of the Kroger courtesy clerks, and the safety of customers, please speak up when someone park in the fire lane to uses the the Redbox. As a consumer have I exit the store and if a large SUV has been parked right by the store entry, it impairs the vision on other drivers. Once I was exiting, carrying several two-liters of soda. A car was blocked by a car using the firelane to park and use the RedBox. The car went around the blocked lane, and was blind to oncoming pedestrian traffic. I was struck by the vehicle. I leaned into the car, so only got bruises, but my grocery bags were shredded and drinks rolled across the parking lot. The driver apologized, but I pointed it the cause was the driver in the firelane. The redbox user heard my comments and replied with two words (first word was an expletive and the other was "you"). On future visits I discussed the issue with the shift manager, who was indifferent, as a matter of fact one shift manager said it was perfectly legal to do that.
So I made multiple calls to Kroger's regional office and got transferred to voice mail black holes, and only a local front-desk rep acknowledged the issue.
So, I contacted the building owners who lease to Kroger and said contacting them was more appropriate than contacting police , because a policeman sitting in a parking lot might be a deterrent for some shoppers.
About a week later I did get a response from Kroger's district office..... I heard the beeping in the background before the call began, so that suggested the call was being recorded. I was firmly and repeated told to make a statement that I would never make such calls again. My reply was "I'm only looking out for the safety of the Kroger staff and patrons", and "it would be terrible if someone were struck and injured or killed, so that was the purpose for my follow-up" (that could be a family or neighbor that gets injured or killed).
About 10 days later I returned to the Kroger location (3455 Peachtree Industrial Blvd, Duluth, GA 30096) and discovered another Red-Box was installed, directly on the other side of the store entrance. This creates blindness on both sides of the customer's one entrance to the facility, and sure as sunset as I exited the store, both sides were blocked by people using the firelane to use the RedBox.
So I approached Rebox, gave them the street address of the locations, and told them of the safety risk. They did not disclose the operator's name, but did give me the address of the box operator (who gets 25c / day per rental) . I don't want any gains , I just want a safe place to purchase groceries. and it's apparent that someone at the Kroger district office has other plans.

Now that is so true. It is a Red Box so that means you can bark in the fire lane where the line is red.
