Kroger

I’m not sure this is actually a Kroger. It feels like a weird surreal Banksy art installation. I’ve been here a handful of times as I live in the neighborhood and each time there are different observations or interactions that leave me baffled. The employees act like your being there is an inconvenience and Heaven forbid you need assistance.
Trying to get the employees here off of their own cell phones while they have very loud, very detailed, personal conversations requires the patience of Mother Teresa at the South Dekalb Department Of Driver Services.
If you do manage to get their attention, they’re about as helpful as A distracted toddler. Stopping every few feet to talk to other employees. You’re better off finding your way around the store on your own. And by finding your way around. I mean finding the exit. Typing in another Kroger into your GPS. And then going there.
The lights are always awkwardly dim and the drones pushing pallets through the aisles are reminiscent of a North Korean «work» camp.
Overall I’d say this place is a great stop for anyone who hates themselves but loves feeling like an inconvenience.

This store is filthy and the food they sell I wouldn’t feed my dog. I come here because the clean Walmart across the street doesn’t sell alcohol … I will continue to post pics until they clean this store

Their natural food section has been re-​done, which is nice. I’ll eat anything, but my fiancé has specific needs, so having this area improved helped out. The employees still typically don’t give a sh*t, so it’s hard to give this place a better rating.

I forgot how terrible the Kroger in belvedere plaza is. (Haven’t been in over 3 years). I went yesterday and my cashier rung me up for my groceries & then told me, «my bag boy left»…
I’m thinking like ok cool so she’ll start bagging them when she gets a chance like most people do at every other store .
Um no lol, this girl finishes ringing me up, I swipe my card, pay for my stuff, and she just stood there looking at me with a confused daZed look. .
Guess I had to be the bag boy since hers took a break smh
If I could give it a one star I would

I don’t know why this Kroger gets bad reviews. You knew it was a questionable neighborhood before you walked inside. Other than that, it’s a pretty good store. They sometimes have organic items on clearance in the health food section. When they do, they are cheaper than non-​organic. I love this store!.

This place is gold. Please, if the negative reviews are compelling to you, then do us both a favor and steer clear.
There is nothing wrong with the produce at this Kroger. I buy fruits and vegetables here all the time. There is nothing wrong with the clientele here, either. (Maybe 95% of the shoppers are people of color. If that’s an issue for you – and, given the innuendo of some of these reviews, it does appear to be a sticking point for some people – then please, do the rest of us one additional favor and refrain from procreation.) There is also nothing wrong with the deals. Yes, there is the occasional yahoo or salesman in the parking lot. For me that’s just part of the charm.
I teach English to refugees in Clarkston, and I normally go out of my way after class to shop at this Kroger. There are discounts here you won’t find elsewhere.
The tone of some of these other reviews is frankly baffling to me, and saddening. Economically struggling areas need grocery stores like Kroger, and to the company’s credit, they have maintained this store now for decades. I am delighted to give them my business.

I have never had an issue with my purchases from this Kroger. Yea, there may be some homeless people hanging out asking for money and most of the time I bless them with a little change and they keep it moving. They have great manager specials and the staff has always been pleasant to me. Maybe some of you should do some self reflection because maybe it’s you causing the bad vibe. This Kroger sits in an area where there are people struck by poverty so homelessness, panhandling and the such is expected.

Me and my mother were at the Pharmacy picking up her prescriptions and my mother wanted to buy the «Cuties» tangerines. I put the netted tangerines (already priced) on the register and the cashier didn’t bother ringing them up. I didn’t realize it until after my mother paid for her prescriptions. I said, «Can you please ring this up?» «Uh, we don’t ring up produce.» I said,” Well you could have said something beforehand!” «She started mumbling under her breath. I said,“If you’re that angry, no one MADE you come to work today.»
As far as grocery shopping goes, you can never find a shopping cart as the locals roll them to their home. They import carts from neighboring Krogers… so when you are looking at the shopping aisle legends on the baby carseat, it will say «Thank You for shopping at your Loganville Kroger.» It’s a sad reminder of ignorant transient residents.
There are constant panhandlers in the parking lot waiting to prey on you. No matter how you try to avoid them with no eye contact, or pretend you can’t hear them, they will chase you to your car… especially if you’re Caucasian. They have hired security guards that are located inside of the store like statues… they never venture to the parking lot. They chose to stay planted in the doorway.
I once had a gentleman ask me to pay $ 50 for his $ 100 foodstamps as long as he accompanied me shopping to the register.
If you are in this area and need to go grocery shopping, try the East Lake Publix on Glenwood Rd.

Kroger city center is fun! You never know what you might see. You have to go in with an open mind and your nose not full of judgement. This Kroger is as eclectic as the mix of people that live around it. I appreciate that. You can purchase all your soul food needs, including ox tail, and all the natural foods you might want as well. And while you are there, get your nails done, a Brazilian wax, buy a weave, gets some incense/​oils, and have your eyes checked. The produce is fine, just look at what you are buying and don’t buy it if is bad, duh. I go to this Kroger often, I’ve never been approached by a panhandler or asked to buy life insurance. The staff is not the most friendly but some of them are very helpful. Some have attitude but sometimes they are almost too friendly. Prices are excellent. Lots of manager specials, which to me says they do check the expiration dates. If you can’t handle urban life, this isn’t the Kroger for you.

I will never go back to this Kroger. It’s huge, but the people who work there are some of the rudest, meanest people I have ever met.
Once I was berated for buying over $ 200 worth of groceries by the bagger.
Once the pharmacist told me off for the number of medications I had to fill because of my very sick father, then refused to fill my prescription because it was 20 minutes to closing.
If the apocalypse happens and this Kroger is the only place with Twinkies, I will die when the ramen noodles I have at home run out.

What can I say, it’s a Kroger and by far the largest Kroger that I have ever been to. I get in and get out. Some of the cashiers have attitudes which is why self check out it great, but sometimes when you need assistance for coupons, the self checkout cashier is no where to be found.

HAAAAA when me and my dad parked it was like a circus in the parking lot. People everywhere hanging out smoking god knows what and pandhandlers. ooommmmg what is going on here in decatur. So i walk in and i swear i was walking in a swap meet or flea market. You can buy insurance, hair products, body oil, glasses, get your hair cut, and buy old groceries lol. People were in here yelling and carrying on about personal issues (employees) soooo not professional so yea two stars because i have expierenced better.

Apathetic employees, cleanliness issues and shady characters in the parking lot… what else can I tell you.

I don’t frequent this kroger often, but every time i’ve gone in, I got what I needed and everything was fine when I got home. Yes, it may be ghetto, but really, when I go, i’m never disappointed, so it’s a-​ok with me.

This Kroger’s has got to be the worst ever!
It is totally ghetto! When it first opened it wasn’t bad, but after giving it the benefit of the doubt several times I finally vowed to NEVER return. Broken shopping carts, bums in the parking lot and apathetic employees make this Kroger memorable. Last time I was there I even think I saw a vulture in the parking lot (seriously). As a passing wino stated, «That ain’t no pigeon!»

Corporate should come to Georgia and really teach this store what «Customer Service» means. These people are rude in this store. And I thought Customer Service department should be the friendliest. Unfortunately, this store is closer to my house than any other Kroger, but I really hate going in there. I called today to ask a question and the woman told me I need to call her back! As if I called her house or something! Between the rude employees, horrible service, and nasty looking store I’m surprised they are still open.

This is the worst Kroger i’ve ever been in. Seriously — you would think that Krogers are Krogers are Krogers? You’ve never been to the Shitty Center.
I gave this Kroger three chances (since it’s open 24-​hours and it’s the closest to our house.) In order, here’s what happened.
1 — picked up a green pepper; thought I grabbed a good one (but they all looked dubious.) Got it home and realized there were black spots all over it. Fine — won’t buy produce there again.
2 — bought shampoo. Went to wash my hair and the hinged cap was broken. WTF, drop boxes much? Fine. Won’t buy shampoo there again.
3– ran out one morning for canadian bacon. In a package — can’t be gross, right? Got it home to realize it had expired two days before. WTF TAKE EXPIRED MEAT OFF OF YOUR SHELVES.
I think the only time i’ve ever been back is to buy paper towels in an emergency, and really — you can’t screw that up. Now that the Wal-​Mart is open across the street, I shall never have to venture into the Shitty Center again. Hopefully they will shut down this store soon — it gives all Kroger’s a bad name.

Ah, the Kroger Citi-​Center. Or, as we have lovingly dubbed it around my house, the Shitty-​Center.
I’m a firm believer in the three-​strikes law when dealing with businesses. One bad trip isn’t a write-​off; you could have been in on an off day, or gotten a new hire, or whatever. A second bad trip bodes poorly, but after the third time? Sorry, you lose.
This is Epic Fail Kroger. We once purchased a package of canadian bacon for breakfast, only to find out that it expired two days ago. We bought a bottle of conditioner only to find out that the cap was damaged (it sat upright on the shelf for purchase, but stored in the shower inverted). And finally, I got panhandled in the middle of the store.
No, not in the parking lot.
In the actual store. By a guy who wanted some money so he could buy «food.» Despite both of us standing in the alcohol aisle, and him looking longingly at the Fortified Wine Beverage section.
Sorry, I’ll pass on this one — besides, there’s a Wal-​Mart across the street now — too bad it isn’t 24 hour, because I really wish I didn’t have to go here at 3 AM for Pepto Bismol.

I really don’t get what it is with people complaining about this store. A friend made it sound like it was the worst place ever. The previous reviewer doesn’t even seem to go to the same store as me.
Okay, there are some issues with this Kroger. The produce never looks that great, and there are some panhandlers in the parking lot. One time a guy tried to sell me his aquarium «so he can buy insulin.» Yeeeaaaah, right. I’ve also had people try to sell me life insurance on several occasions. Well, whatever. I live close enough so I buy my produce from YDFM anyway. And actually, despite people’s complaints about this place, they actually have a surprisingly large amount of natural items, like almond milk and tofutti cuties (soy ice cream sandwiches, mmmmm). So yeah, if you go here at night like I tend to, you might have to deal with some shady characters in the parking lot, but just tell them no and you’ll be fine.
