I had a return to Kroger I lost my receipt I could not find it anywhere I went to return it they told me that I couldn't return it without a receipt I know that your policy is store credit if you don't have your receipt you received store credit I spent $35 on this thing and I bought the wrong one and they would not give me a refund or store credit and told me that was their policy and I told them that they were wrong the manager's name was Andrew and

this the store that I went to was Kroger on Beachwood in Little Rock Arkansas I'm very upset I'm very offended and I'm very hurt that they they told me I had to deal with it and lose my money and that I couldn't exchange it for anything or or even use store credit we shop at Kroger all the time and this really makes me feel like I don't want…

I bought a game controller and not knowing the return policy, my grand son removed the tape and said this is the wrong controller. I tried to return with a receipt. The young man behind the counter explained I could exchange it.

But no Anna Skokkeland had to open her ugly thoughts and talk to me like I was an idiot. Well I’ve worked customer service. a shopper like she did. I was told to go read the signs at every door.

Return policy is all over even on the receipt, no it is not on my receipt!!! I won’t buy Christmas from Fred meyer I wouldn’t want any of my family members getting a bad attitude. I’m just one person so I won’t make or break your Christmas sales outlook.

I do hope Anna the PIC at Johnson Creek fred Meyers has the day she deserves!!!

I purchased some protein shakes about a month ago. I did not save the receipt, and I want to return them because I cannot drink them. They taste awful. The store will not take the 4packs back,I do Not have a receipt, who saves the grocery receipts for over a day or two?

The manager Dave could give me store credit but I thought I would try you all before I pitch a fit! I AM 77 years old and I could use the refund to purchase other groceries. Can you help me?

I am so sick of kroger being out of stock of everything. I place my order expect it the same day and bam I get hit with notifications that they are out of stock. They need to get their stuff together my co workers talk about this being an issue also.

If kroger has outgrown itself and can’t keep up maybe it shouldn’t open hubs and open grocery stores. If I didn’t want the stuff I ordered I sure wouldn’t have ordered it. Messes up everything. Get your stuff together

If I could give this store a 0 star rating I would. This is by far the worst Krogers In Covington! I have seen some of the employees their being treated unfairly, and also I think it should there should be a change of management.

I will never shop at this store again.

I called today because my fuel points doesn't show up in my app or the website. After 4 different calls and transfers to 4 departments they finally got the right depart (digital department). Had to re-explain everything to each and everyone even though i had a case file number. They were not able to fix it either. They just told be me sign out and sign back in an clear cashe. None of it worked. They just told be to check again later that it might fix later which i have been doing for 4 days. So i doubt it.

One rep didn't seem to wanna talk to me just keep muting me.

I know its not the biggest issue but I was dissatisfied/disappointed with how everyone on the call just pushed it off to different department without researching the issue. And not even try hard enough to resolve it. Just…

It has been a month since you have paid my finance a full check. Now we are about to lose everything while you make millions. That's real fair kroger. I can even feed our family because you have failed her in paying her.

Thank you for your corporation greed. I'm going to be talking to a lawyer and the news.

No complaints. Instead I want one of your employees recognized as exceptional, beyond words! David at the Trinity Kroger in Cordova is the best! He engages every single person he checks out with humor and empathy. Every single one! It has come to the community’s attention that some people were very disparaging to him recently and it really affected him.

He has suffered depression in the past and the community is totally up in arms about this and we want him singled out by corporate in an outstanding way! You will hear from others I dare say, but David is an amazing person and we love him! Thank you! Lisa Douba

Kroger’s digital coupons are deceptive. I’ve paid full price for several items in the past, today was no exception. I was @ the Kroger’s on Keller Pkwy/Rufe Snow in Keller Tx. 99. 79. I spoke to employee working the self checkout & she herself said she didn’t know how digital coupons worked.

I refused to speak to older elderly woman who works in CS as she is rude, condescending & downright mean, as I’ve dealt with her before on being overcharged. ,Thank Goodness HEB is building a store in FW. , Kathy Robinson ( I could not upload my receipt because I kept getting error message about size) More proof of your dishonest practices)

My husband and I were shopping at the Florence, Ky Kroger store on Mall Rd last night after I got off work at 8p. By the time we were finished loading up each of our carts above the rim it was around 9:50p and we get up front to the lanes and notice only the self checkouts were open.

I asked the cashier running them if there were any lanes open other than the u scans and she said no that they close those down at 10p. I informed her that it technically wasn’t 10p yet and was there anyway someone could check us out and she told us no she couldn’t help us.

I pointed to our 2 almost overflowing shopping carts and asked if she was serious about expecting us to actually use u scan checkouts for as much as we buying and she just nodded yes to us! I asked her again if there was seriously no one…

finally he came over and showed her how to enter the date again then walked away The young girl finally came back after I asked for the manager again and just finished out my regular order I told her never mind on the rest of the wic Then I look up and another cashier thought it was funny cause I had been trying to get checked out for an hour the same cashier I had issues with 2 weeks ago This store is in Covington Ga on hwy 278 and…

First time delivery order botched. Charged my bank account for items not delivered. NEVER ORDER KROGER ONLINE AS THEY TAKE YOUR MONEY UP FRONT AND STILL CHARGE YOU FOR ITEMS NOT DELIVERED. When speaking with customer service they refused to credit my account and hung up on me even as I was being very polite.

I am appalled with the conditions of Krogers 512 Rittenhouse Rd Midlothian, Va The place is filthy. The store has cases of food on the floor and I pray i don't trip over one. The shelves are in shambles. Unorganized and a mess.

It makes shopping there very unpleasant. The out of stock situation is totally unacceptable. Please do not say its an on going issue with trucks. Publix's and Wegmans seem to have fully stocked shelves and great presentation. It is very frustrating going to Krogers.

The only reason I am writing this, is to make you aware what is going on and hoping something will be done. I am sure Kroger's do not want to lose anymore customers

a sign on pump said had to pay first. I was beside the clerks window. I said I wanted to fill up and don’t know how much it would cost so can I fill up then walk over and pay you.

that I would have to drive to another pump. if pump computer is messed up you need to block that section off. I get out get ready to fill up and then have to move and start all over again.

I was beside window and still not trusted to pay for my gas . That pisses me off. Bought all my gas there since it opened. Best way to lose customers. You are not the only gas station in Buckhannon.

Afternoon, while at your store in Perry Georgia on Sam Nunn Blvd Perry Ga. 31069 on 5/12/2022 at about 3:30 pm, I had purchase gas at this location and was headed to the store to make some purchases when I saw this young man that worked at that kroger pushing buggies up the hill towards the gas station.

While sitting in my car I felt a hard bang. When I existed my vehicle there was a buggy that the young man had allowed to get away from him and ran right into the side of my driver side back door.

I left the buggy where it hit, and went inside the store to alert a Manager. Managers, a male and female came out and took my personal information and took pictures. When we walk out to my car the buggy had been removed and the young man was no where in site.

I called back to the Kroger store on…

According to Kroger in Hendersonville TN. On Glenbrook. D. cards when purchasing Cigarettes or Alcohol . They tell me Kroger cooperate will only accept a drivers license. As a retired veteran who served over 20 years. I fine it very insulting.

Maybe you should just put a sign in front of your store and let people know Veterans are not welcome in your facility.

Hillsdale Kroger pharmacy there is a women Michelle that said she was the manager and when asked to speak with someone else she spoke to my wife with pure disrespect and told her she was no longer aloud to come to Kroger pharmacy and was even rude enough to call my wife’s phone and harass her even further, I called the main manager of the store and

he said he would “talk to her” but did not get any names or any information to settle this matter! This is not how people should be treated and specially a women a that is 8 months pregnant should NOT have to deal with that!!

Complaint against employer. The reason for my complaint is that some of my change was stuck inside the pay it yourself line. I was not given the proper amount of money back. For some reason my transaction wouldn't go through.

My card transaction wasn't going through. 90 on me and the worker wouldn't give me my correct change back. After she refunded me the incorrect amount I was still on the phone with the bank services to see why my card was declined.

This is not my only part of the complaint she accused me of stealing when she knew the whole time I was on the phone trying to get things clear to make my purchase. I spoke to the bank and they said try again. Still didn't go through.

When walking passed her she accused me of taking the item when it wasn't even in my hand as I was about…

I went to pick up prescribtion for my husband on 3/17/22. Presribtion was suppose to be injection for obesity. Pharmacy tech gave me a different medication on his profile which is in the tablet form. I try to explain to her that the medication for my husband that i need now is injection form and not tablet but she told be it was switched by my husband's doctor to the tablet form.

She gave me the pills in a staple bag and i paid $150. She did not tell me the name of the medication neither did the phamacist talk to me about any concerns. I pull aside and open the stable bag just to notice it was the wrong medication given to me.

Good Evening, I just left kroger on 1904 Emmett street located in charlottesville, va. I am a frequent shopper at this location. I am usually not one to complain but my experience here tonight was horrible and embarassing to say the least.

I usually check out at the self checkout because honestly I do not like the way they bag my groceries. (That's a whole other subject) They need to train employess to not put chemicals in the same bag with food items.

Should be common sense really! As I was checking out, I noticed a certain item rang up wrong. I called the cashier over to verify. She didn't bother to check the price, she just said that was the digital coupon price.

Mind you, I use to work for kroger corporation for several years and I know exactly how file maintenance works and I also…

Our Starkville Kroger has reached an all time low. Honestly, this morning it resembled a third-world supermarket. The store had literallly been turned upside down in the name of re-organization. If there is a plan for stocking the market with the customers convenience and expediency in mind you all have missed it.

Aisles have been chopped up so as to require doubling back to try and find anything. Whole sections I looked for I could not find and forget trying to find someone to ask. This is an insult. My time is worth something!!!!!!

Try turning your elederly parent lose in this store. I walked out with only half my list. The employees turn their heads away if they think you are going to make an inquiry. is this the best you can do at the corporate…

I have been working all week with Kroger to get a duplicate transaction off of my bank account. Their only reply is that it happens all the time and it may correct itself. I’ve spent thousands of dollars with Kroger and they could care less to help.

Such a trash customer service dept and we will no longer shop there and I I will continue to make sure that everyone I speak to knows of their business ethics. They did let me know that when someone uses the app to order groceries, more often than not, you will have multiple transactions on hold and they cannot do anything to stop that.

I explained that could mean someone that ordered weekly could have $600-800 of their money on hold due to their inadequacy. complete disrespect for customers money and time.

Since the pandemic, I've utilized delivery and pickup service from Kroger's. I usually pickup at the Dorothy Lane location, and the service has been exceptional. However, when my order is delivered, from the Wayne Ave., Dayton, OH., location, the service and quality of food is absolutely POOR. Every time I order, the bread is ALWAYS OLD (eating an Old bagel now), and items are extremely limited, unlike the Dorothy Lane location. This store is truly an embarrassment to the organization, it's apparently substandard to the Kroger chain.

Thank you for you time.

I live, unfortunately, about 15 miles from the nearest Kroger, and while it will allow me to set up a whole order before telling me so, they do not deliver. So I decided to have a product shipped to me.

When I went on my iPhone Kroger app to do it, I realized it had a payment card on it I no longer possessed. I went through the process to add another form of payment, and after taking all my info, it asked for my signon and password for additional verification (I was obviously already signed on, but ok, I get it).

But all it gave me was a box saying I needed to input signon/password, and nowhere to do it. I went through this process three times with the same result. I then called the customer service number and waited 20 minutes before I got a person who could barely speak English.

I’m a new customer to Kroger pharmacy. I was a lead tech at a competitor pharmacy and when I quit my job I started using Kroger as it was cheaper without insurance.

However I always have to go into the store. I try calling and either get hung up on (several times) or it just rings forever. And I let it ring because I know it gets busy and sometimes you just can not answer. But this is ridiculous.

I’m not sure if the higher ups don’t know this is an issue. Or is Kroger so rich they no longer care? It’s frustrating

Hello, my complaint is as an ex-employee. I was recently employed by Store #635, I'd like corporate to know the incident that took place this morning. But to start off, a week before we had a mystery shopper audit in the store, they gave us a check on my part for not greeting the customers.

I was adequate in providing customer service to customers in my time there. So, the store manager was already angry at me. Today i came in, didn't have my name tag, told the management upstairs in so brandishing me a new one which they did after the conflict, and went to my department, produce.

The store manager came to me and started getting argumentative with me, this was my 3rd week on the job, but he humiliated me in front of customers and staff on the sales floor and walked me to the backroom and…

This is a minor complaint compared to those I have read on this site. It is no fault of the Kroger I shop at for groceries. I go weekly and will continue because the service is good and the employees are great.

I'm disappointed in the contents of a can of sliced BUTTON mushrooms that I purchased for a dinner for company. There were NO BUTTON mushrooms in the can. It looked like one of the cans with pieces in it. It says quality guarantee on the can.

I have gotten them before and they were button mushrooms. The dish I made ended up with pieces cut up since they were so big. Maybe the can was mislabeled. Info is L209271 May 4/2025. 69. This is just to let you know it wasn't what I thought I purchased and I was upset.

I don't expect anything from you.

m. m. so I called tonight at 11:20pm December 14 2021, to see if they will open until 1 and to ask why they closed early yesterday and I was told by the night manager that they were short-staffed so

they closed early I started to ask other questions and she kept hanging up in my face. I work for companies and that isn't a reason to close. I work late nights and some times I need things last night it was extremely important for myself to pick up a few items.

My name is Sha'Niqua Alexis 2145660055. Sending screenshot of me calling her back but she keeps hanging up the phone.
