Kroger report-10/09

I did not experience the slightest problem with the site today. There were neither pick-ups nor fuels listed for SW Ohio; perhaps they will be added later.

From what I recall, I believe the other types will be posted in subsequent batches.

Same here in Northern IL. No issues but also no pickups, fuel or competitors of any type.

Ditto in Central Indiana. It went well, waiting to see if Fuel and Pick Up are added.

Do not read so much, look about you and think of what you see there.

I got my usual two pickups and fuels, but it was a struggle. The website started acting fruity towards the end. No competitors at all. I'm still waiting for in-stores to show up.

drdoggie00, is HEB shopped in your area?

I experienced a single minor hiccup, fuels & pick-ups added, BUT no competitors.

Holy hell. Pickups are gone, baby, gone, for the entire state of Texas.

Every so often as a competitor. There may be 4-6 months between them here. When they show up, it's Target, HEB, and Walmart, never Aldi.

Do y'all have HEB up there now?

For pick-up - Target, Walmart

For in-store - Target, Walmart, Sprouts, Trader Joe's, Tom Thumb/Albertson's

For all of the locations above, only if located near a Kroger

I wish HEB (only on certain days) / Central Market, Aldi, Whole Foods was added

I guess that's a yes to y'all having HEBs up there now. Why only on certain days?

Sorry, we had Central Market (owned by HE

for the longest time. But, they recently opened up some huge HEB some years ago (with gas at some). It's a mad house on the weekends! And can cause traffic jams.

that wasn't as bad as it has been.. got my 15 shops.. somehow I managed 4 pickup shops, which is kinda strange, I usually only get 3. Making a trek to TN too, it's the closest one to the state line, and easy to get to. If I like the Kroger in TN I might try more of them.. make a route..

Hey all - I don't typically do these stores because they're a little out of my area, however, Friday afternoon, I received an email about a new project from a company that normally does merchandising work. It was decently priced and near an existing route, so I took it.

The only requirements were to go in and take pics of "negative areas" produce tables, salad area, dairy, chips, gatorade/sports drinks, pop/soda (depending on your region

), then the deli, bakery and meat areas.

It was about 40+ pics, no narrative, no required questions. It was supposed to be covert but if we were approached by an employee, we could explain that we were doing a "Negative ID" audit. This is done through an app while on-site, so didn't require a report or separate uploading of pics.

Just wanted to give you all a heads up if this project moves to another company or changes format.
