I have 6 so far in 1/2 hour.

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

I think I just got to 6.. waiting for the dates to populate on #7. Done, got my usual 8 and I'm only going to TN once.. at least so far. I'll add some one or two of the leftovers at the end of the round, and try to make a route to make it work.

I ended up getting a decent amount with an extraordinary amount of patience.

There seems to be a circle around my location with no stores , even those that languish on the boards for weeks, within profitable driving distance.

What product are these shops for at Kroger? Not the company the job. I have never seen too many people excited about Kroger jobs.

Bob, you're sharp and also wise.

Supra, in my situation, I use Krogers to defray travel expenses. I usually schedule for Mon. and Thurs., to purchase the reduced pizza and cooked chickens. In addition, I avail myself of both sale and reduced items. Finally, sometimes I am able to schedule competitor locations, thus permitting me to widen my field of purchasing.

For me, Kroger shops fit the bill. The Monday $5 pizza, for which I occasionally have a Kroger $1 coupon, are delicious. No goofy pics, restricted hrs., topping requirements nor a report other than for the store.

An old adage I have lived by for decades states, "Better to try and fail than to wonder what if?" I suggest scheduling ONE, but, at least for that trial, avoid the full service register. If it is not for a shopper, pocket the $20 and move on with life.

So these are the standard "ask stupid questions in a few departments" and buy 15.00 worth of stuff jobs. I have done them in the past for the old company. Never liked them much. Have the jobs changed? I never really liked how the reporting was for the old company. Can I have a hint for the new company, lots of Krogers' here and I am not seeing any emails.

You have to look like you need help in three departments (no questions provided but you can come up with something if it makes this less awkward) and check cleanliness and freshness elsewhere. Use the correct checkout type for the shop and collect names/descriptions of employees you interacted with.

Supra, the pay is $10+$10, there are not any dumb arse questions to ask and the self-scans go quickly. In addition, there is not any narrative.

I always hated having to ask the questions. Actually trying to find someone to answer them could be equally hard. They have to have some in Michigan, I will have to look around.

Thanks

I think some folks are reading too much into the guidelines on these.. You NEVER have to speak to anyone, except the cashier sometimes, if you don't want to. You don't have to get anyone's attention. You can be within 7 ft of an employee and just get their name and description. THEY are supposed to initiate a conversation with you, not the other way around. And you don't have to wait around to find someone in a department either, 5 minutes, where they can see you, at the deli/bakery counter, 5 minutes in the produce department, 5 minutes at the meat department counter. About the amount of time I would normally be shopping in those departments anyway. Why do you all insist on making things harder than they are?

Now you are really making want to find some. You had to initiate with the old company and I hated that part. I never found going to Kroger much different than Walmart in terms of employees trying to avoid you.

Thanks for the info!

Ha! If you don't know, you won't get squat. People around here love their K shops.

In my area they post a few hundred (that is without the pickups) and they are gone in less then 30 minutes.

$10 shop fee (sometimes higher) and $10 reimbursement for what's essentially a long customer service survey. You can basically purchase whatever you want. No narratives, but you do need to get names and descriptions of a few employees. If you are going grocery shopping at Kroger anyway, why not get a little something extra for it? The guidelines are a little daunting at first, but you can put them on your phone and easily review them while shopping. For all the employees know, you are looking at the Kroger app or texting a friend.
