Kroger — Local services in Jacksonville

Went in on a Monday mid-afternoon to see selection and grab a few things to make it thru the week. Store was pretty picked over but the general selection was good. Produce department is very small. I don't have my own Kroger card but planned on getting one this trip. There were two lanes open and hardly anyone checking out so I assumed this wouldn't be an issue. I greeted the cashier and he rang up my groceries then asked about my Kroger card. I told him I would like to get one today and he told me he was out of cards. I asked if it was the whole store and he said no just his register but the girl next to him may have some. She was in the process of checking out another customer so I moved out of the way to wait and let him ask. Then his mannerisms changed and he again told me my total with an attitude. There still wasn't anyone in line behind me... I told him I would like to get a card today so I could get the deals and begin earning fuel points. So he told me to go to the front desk and get one from there. Which I probably would have done but no one was there. I asked him again if he could go grab me a card and he again got an attitude and told me his register was out. At this point I had enough and told them they could keep the groceries and started to walk out... As I was walking out the door the shift or manager came over to see what was going on... Hopefully they resolved the issue for future customers...

Great selection and lots of good deals on most of their items. Krogers self-brand items are very affordable and are just as good (if not better) than the expensive name-brands. Best example: name brand Coka Cola is roughly s4-5 for a 12 pack. Krogers Big K brand 12 packs are $3 or so. And they're almost always on sale, usually 4 for $9 or 5 for $10. Krogers brand encompasses an enormous variety of items. Frozen foods, pizzas, toiletries, drinks, meats, deli items, and even store-made fried chicken. And if all that wasn't enough, you can get a FREE Krogers membership card to earn 1 point per dollar spent, to be used at the Krogers gas stations. Membership automatically gets you 3 cents off per gallon. For every 100 points, you get 10 cents off, up to a maximum of $1 for 1,000 points. Points last until the end of the month, but all points earned but not used can be used the next month only and don't stack with the new month's points. Krogers is a great store with great prices & selection, and I've been shopping there for over 20 years. I recommend it...

Whenever I go in I need to check the expiration dates on things. Multiple times I've picked up items well past expired and one item was even over a year past.

Their produce section is usually empty by the afternoon so good luck getting a good selection after work.

They have gotten better with their meat selection but in the past I have gotten rancid meat that I purchased the day before.

Most of the people working register are great and friendly. There are a couple that ignore you while they talk to their coworkers. Don't ask how I'm doing today if you immediately turn around and finish your conversation but at least check my groceries so I can leave.

Honestly if there were a closer grocery store I'd go there. I only come here if I want to...
