The second they canceled their DEI policies I started getting everything from my local supermarcado or kroger market.
If they bring back their policies I might give them some buisness again.
I don't know why you would think Kroger is any better. My local Kroger has basically turned into a police state, with uniformed cops following people, extra gates at the entrances, and now half of the products are behind locked glass or in a separate purchase area. It all feels incredibly hostile, and I know they aren't actually losing that much merchandise. It's all just theater to scare us. I don't know if they have any DEI programs but if I had to guess I'd say probably not, based on their track record of dumb decisions.
This has been the case at my local krogers too. its like actual pearl clutching. And of course they arent any cheaper than any of the other places for all the security theater. Also fuck those carts the the wheel locks that false flag every other time I have to go there. They beat the hell out of my shins and I just want to chuck the entire cart through a window
Kroger has not ended their DEI policies so they have not declared they care more about exterminating minorities than money.
I wouldn't shop at Kroger if local stores had the things I want.
Kroger just hates everyone equally. Its a shit place to work and a shit place to shop. They probably havent terminated their policies because they know they are getting more money from the people coming over to them but you best bet they would do it if it actually made more money.
Even if they reinstate their DEI policies they’ve forever lost my business. They can’t be trusted and don’t deserve any customers.
It would take a reverse in policy and a changing of leadership across the top before I consider adding Target to my rotation. If push comes to shove, I will still go to Target before Walmart and Amazon, but I've not needed to step foot in one since the DEI rollback because there are still better options.
