So many out of date products just sitting for weeks, sometimes MONTHS, past their best buy/use by date at my store on the shelves.
Pillsbury biscuits that expired weeks ago.
Yogurt that expired MONTHS ago.
Meat that expired weeks ago.
Packaged produce that expired weeks ago.
I pick what expired product that I find and give it to someone in the department. Nothing is done about it. Management is aware of the ongoing issue, nothing is done about it.
Typical Kroger. Let a problem fester until it blows up big time.
I imagine my store isn't the only one out there that's like this. Considering the lack of help/hours, something like this was inevitable.
Well, when only a very few care (and yes, I'm referring to management both at the corporate and store levels as well as employees) stuff like this is bound to happen. Maybe if corporate was committed to providing customers quality and fresh product in an environment that is properly maintained with adequate, reasonably well compensated staffing, stuff like this wouldn't be common, but corporate doesn't care and the same can be said for the average employee making maybe $10.00 an hour and getting maybe twenty-five hours a week.
I once worked with a guy who was in frozen; his trucks would drop every day at the same time, towards the end of his shift, so he knew what to expect and what needed done. But by that time of the day he didn't feel like having to wrestly pallets and freight around inside his freezer to store his new shipment.....so he would just leave the pallets sitting in the back hall, thawing. Nights wouldn't be in for another fibe hours. This was especially bad in the summer, as it was HOT back there. Management liked him so did nothing to correct him. I told him 'dude, I shop here. First time I get sick from this sh!t I'm kickin your ASS.'
Makes me wonder how many customers of how many other stores are buying hidden time bombs they've no way of knowing about..
