I live close to the scary Kroger depicted in that hilarious Yelp review. I’ve never seen anyone bathing naked or zombie children in the parking lot but as to the rest of the review, he’s not wrong.

Combat Kroger was also called Sticky Kroger.

More accurate. It reminded me of Geriatric, or Rendezvous Kroger more than anywhere truly dangerous. Of course people also called that Heights one Ghetto too....There are some ghetto Krogers in Houston but I don't know them well enough to comment, but none that made this article are now or have recently been truly ghetto.

Thank you for the food head review of Kroger. I always thought they all had a Dollar Store atmosphere. In defense of Randall’s, the buyout by Safeway was the death of quality at Randall’s/Tom Thump. And Amazon is busy ruining Whole Foods, who in its maturity for 30 years excelled in most ways, including employee relations/benefits.

As always you have hit the nail on the humor head. Ever considered stand-up?

I complained to our Belle Meade Krogers that t hey were playing "dead white people's music" but it did no good. Have to say, bought some stock (HEB, Trader joe's, Aldi, Publix all privately owned) a few years back for my grandson and it's gone up 41%, so go figure.
