I've been a loyal Kroger customer for years and consider myself pretty low maintence/forgiving, but just can't deal anymore. I've frequented multiple of the downtown stores but live closest to the brewery district one now and it might be the worst grocery store I've ever been to.

Produce quality is awful, all of the onions yesterday were soft and covered in flies. They're frequently out of basic items like green peppers, limes, avocados, certain types of meat etc. Meat counter is often closed mid-day due to employee breaks/understaffing, they no longer have any cashier checkout lanes and doing self checkout with a full cart is a pain, employees are rude and unhelpful, prices keep going up, they have automated security gates by the entrance now preventing you from exiting through one of the doors (?). I could go on.

Yesterday I got home after all this and discovered the bag of spinach I bought was bad, I'm just done. Where do you guys shop? I'm thinking of trying Aldi, Meijer, or Whole foods maybe?

Thanks for listening to my Karen rant.
