We don’t want them in our grocery stores. Give us fresh salad bar, more fresh local produce, refresh the interior and exterior of the store. If you’re not making money it’s because you’re not marketing correctly and this is a perfect example. The median income in the City of South Fulton is $80k, 70% or better owner occupied homes, more than 40% of our residents have a Bachelor’s degree or higher. Stop the nonsense or leave and let Publix open a store there instead.
Now check the reports on the amount of theft at this store location. Then come back and tell us why this location has such a high theft rate compared to other stores without these machines.
@@chloen5597 what is your point? If you can draw a correlation between theft and the machines, please do. I’m waiting.
Put some in the YT folks Kroger as well then
That's right! 👍🏾
We have them in Pa in every gas station etc
Bring undesiredables
It’s Old National Highway.lady There’s already a bad image
Kroger is a horrible chain with skeptical business practices.
longs as they keep em out the church.🤣
This is actually wild as hell 😮
Preying on addiction is a bad look. Are they even following requirements for minimum payouts?
Lmao 😂
Insane
Offset Theft and some Slot Machines!
So it's OK for them to be at gas stations all over ATL especially in the Southside of Atl but now it's an issue at Kroger? A casino is due in GA soon. GA is one of 2 SE states with no casinos. And Atlanta is due for one very soon.
Ghetto! 😢
the police .....as for them not wanting the machines i agree their a 47% chance you will lose. and thats as for this grocery store and yes i like kroger who know the %?
Thats crazy
No way they are getting cash in a Kroger but if you can get money to shop in Kroger that’s fine especially since they do gas I don’t see why it’s a big deal
The lotto machines.. ya those are fine.
Just what you want. Gambling addicts hanging out when you're leaving the store, as if they don't rob you enough for the food prices
only in atlanta home of the watermellon 500
Shut yr😮
It's strange for someone who claims to have such a high IQ that you can't even spell watermelon. 🍉 😂. In another post you can't even spell Biden. If you're a paid Russian troll who doesn't really speak English then I can understand the hustle.
Here's your answer grocery store is made between a 1 and 2% profit margin. Low income stores in notoriously difficult in some cases they lose as much as 5%. This is a low income store in order to supplement their income they installed coin operated similar to slot machines. This business have upgraded the store no the store probably doesn't make money Kroger is trying to be creative keep the store open and prevent you from having a food desert but instead of realizing that instead of being even slightly grateful to the fact that Kroger is there and the fact that Kroger is probably losing money at the store and it's probably thinking of closing it you get mad at the people who are trying to keep it open good luck.
The problem is the people living in that area may not realize this is the reason the machines are there. Kroger should just be honest and say, "due to all the theft, this store has only 2 options left. a)Close the store or b)install the machines. Which do you prefer?" Suddenly I have a feeling nobody would mind the machines anymore. It's really that simple.
Kroger should close the store if they are not making any money. No one is in business to lose money. They’re not doing anyone any favors. Stop it.
