First, let me say that this location of Kroger is my #1 go to grocery store, by a wide margin, because of generally excellent products, selection, value, and service.
Today, I had an exceptionally bad service experience, which I am compelled to report with hopes that the issue (bad service person) will be addressed.
At close to noon today, I swung by the cheese counter to pick up two types of brie that I typically buy when I come here. Today, I found two towers of large brie rounds, with no presliced and priced wedges on the top of either brie tower, as they typically are found.
I was the only person at the cheese counter, and I asked the lady with the yellow shirt behind the counter if she would please cut me a slice from both rounds. She reacted nonverbally with expressions somewhere between shocked, offended, and insulted, and when she ascertertained that I was really asking her to do something for me (that needed to be done anyway), she took both rounds from me (I handed them both to her) and proceeded as follows:
1. Called over another Kroger employee outside the cheese area in produce to repair one of the three cheese slicers in the area.
2. While the young man begun the machine repair, my "service person" proceeded to take 20 minutes (conservatively) to go as slow as possible to cut both the large wedges into the maximum number of slices, wrapping them individually, pricing them individually (one of them (triple cream) was supposed to be 30% off, which she failed to recognize even though it was clearly and predominantly marked on the large round), glancing at me every few minutes to check if I was foolish enough to still be patiently waiting for her passive aggressive nonsense. I was.
3. Finally, she handed me a few wedges from each round in a metal pan, for me to stock for her. I might have asked her about the mispriced wedges of triple cream brie, but after being abused by neglect for so long, I was so ready to flee her presence that I said nothing about her error (carefully and slowly placed on all 16 wedges from that round, as she wished me a sarcastic "Happy Holidays!" as I walked away.
I can only wish for future customers sake that a management person from this store will read this review and take appropriate action. If you have any questions about the person I have described here, please feel free to contact me for additional details you need to take corrective action as you see fit.
