Chapman Square — Local services in Knoxville

I had a horrible experience. I was filling a prescription at the Kroger pharmacy and had some technical difficulties. This was not the fault of the Kroger pharmacy staff. But there are serious issues with their website. It took 4 hours to complete the transaction. Feeling frustrated I stepped outside three times to compose myself, look for a designated smoking area, and chill out before attempting to navigate the website again. All three times I was questioned by the same security guard. The first time I explained my situation that I was attempting to pick up prescription, that I too worked in retail and I understood he was just doing his job. Now I haven't shaved today, but I have showered and I'm wearing clean clothes. Not business attire, but I don't resemble a vagrant. Why was I questioned the second and a third time? Meanwhile, someone who did resemble a vagrant, appeared to be openly panhandling without a word from this security guard. In addition to the prescriptions, I made two other purchases. I bought something every time I entered and left the store. Why the harassment? My thanks again to the staff at the Kroger pharmacy, who were helpful. But I have nothing but disdain for the security guard. I would boycott this particular Kroger, but, I am poor and depend primarily on the city buses for transportation, so I have to shop where it's easily accessible.

We had a knife pulled on us yesterday! I go and take my mom to the Kroger store there two or three times a month. I stop by a few times my self on the way to see her and without any exaggeration at least 90% of the time we are approached by someone asking for money. I have started carrying $5 in my visor each time we go just because we have hit on hard times ourselves before and we know its not easy. This time a girl half my age approached us asking for money, I had forgotten to put more money in the visor this time and only had my debit card. When I told her this she became angry and started to walk away, i heard a click! behind me and I know the sound of a knife being opened up. Sure enough she was coming at us with a knife, but we got lucky as she backed away when I pulled out the tire iron and started raising my voice getting attention in our direction. If you go to Chapman Square be safe and very attentive to your surroundings...

I give it a three because the store was awesome I stopped in at the Kroger to pick up couple of items for me and kiddos ride before I trip home. I was really excited for the first time to be using the scanning go system so that was great. They're was a lady outside the store selling grilled however I think she worked for the Kroger and when I first introduced or she practically ignored me so I went on into the store. It is I was exiting I stopped by her send and she didn't even look up nor did she greet me just told me what her prices was and what she was selling that was it. I can tell you I was a little hungry but because of the way I was treated so nonchalantly...
