      If you have options where you live, you may want to look for a better grocery store. Kroger is not known for supporting their employees.

        I have King Soopers (Kroger) or Whole Foods. Since Whole Foods is owned by Amazon is that even a better option employee-rights wise?

        Many in even semi-rural areas don’t. It’s Walmart (located just outside town so they don’t have to pay city taxes) if you’re “lucky”, or Kroger/Soops/CityMarket/other names for Kroger. No way to vote with one’s dollar when one needs to eat. Good sentiment though, sometimes people develop patterns and don’t look into another option.

        I’ve been using the Renfro salsa litmus test, as a name-brand-but-universal product sold at most stores to compare how their mark-up works. Kroger’s often one of the worst.

        I have an friend that worked there for 45 years. Retired in June. He said he liked it there. 🤷🏽‍♂️

          He got in before they went to shit. That’s like starting at Walmart in the early 80s when they had employee benefits.

          New employees don’t get the old perks

            A major but too-often ignored union-busting tactic, BTW.

    GOOD. I’m thrilled it was blocked. Fuck both companies for even trying.

    Good news, and also hilarious! May these two rotten corporations claw at each other in court forever!
