  • Im sorry she had to go through that. Kroger is a shit company to their employees and customers. I was there for maybe a month before i did the same, no show/call and quit. I specifically applied for the bakery, they hired me for the bakery, but on my first day they started dropping hints the bakery was over staffed and tried to probe my interest in working in the deli, which was a hard no and they knew that. The second week they kept trying to position me in deli and i refused every single time. By the third week they told me i had no choice, but to work deli, so i stopped showing up.

    All in all, they gave me less pay than promised, less hours than promised, less benefits than promised, and work in a completely different deparment than promised. The hours, by the way, they kept just a hair shy, and well below what i was promised, of qualifying for benefits, which i was also promised.

    “Fresh for everyone” my ass


  • I grew up shopping at Kroger and continued to shop there for a years after I moved out on my own. Cant say enough how much i fucking hate Kroger. Our local one decided to put in those stupid security gates at the door, forcing you to walk the ENTIRE LENGTH of the store and through the registers to get out. It was the last straw in a mounting hay pile of shitty changes that pushed me to start going to Meijers despite kroger being much closer. Cant state enough how much i fricken love Meijers compared to Kroger, Giante Eagle, Etc around here.

    EDIT: I also worked Kroger bakery in 2019 and i got to see how they rolled back all pay and benifits over the years for new employees. They were also abusive as fuck with my hours.







  • Living in Ohio (midwest U.S) its not entirely a yes or no and more of a “it depends”. Ive noticed older people assume shoes on but anyone under 40 will either ask or assume shoes off at the door. Theres also a layer of midwest nice to the whole exchange of not wanting to inconvenience the other person, so you get situations where a party will start with everyone wearing shoes, but end with everyone shoeless.





  • I think it looks really good.

    I recommend exagerating the straight line on the lower case ‘a’ a bit more to distinguish it from ‘o’. In context of the words you wrote it’s easy to see when an ‘a’ is ‘a’ and ‘o’ is ‘o’, but words like ‘sang’ may look like either ‘sang’ or ‘song’.

    For the lower case ‘d’ i recommend extending the straight line a tad bit higher. It still looks distinctly like a ‘d’, but it’s very, very, close to looking like a lower case ‘a’.

    Similar recommendation for the lower case ‘p’, extend the straight line just a tad bit more below the letter.

    I think another comment recommended something similar for lower case ‘h’, but i actually think the way you write them is just fine.

    However, overall, it looks a hell of a lot cleaner than what most native english speakers write. It’s for sure cleaner than mine, but i use a mix of different letter styles.
