this story is getting nearly enough. Attention alison covered in
the news there The Kroger Consumer reports is going after
(00:47):
The kroger because the SCAN i don't know there used
to be AND i think it Was kroger that if
it doesn't scan, right you get it free or something like.
THAT i haven't heard that guarantee in a long. Time
AND i know there's been like social media reports people
doing videos and so forth of things At walmart where
(01:07):
you would you, know it says the package of chicken is,
like you, know three dollars and twenty nine cents and
it rings up for six, dollars or it says it's you,
know something you're buying is eight pounds when it's actually
only two. Pounds things like. That so all that technology
coming back to bite you. Will Apparently kroger in the
stores that were tested by consumer, reports more than half
(01:29):
of those stores they didn't do them, all but more
than half of those stores showed errors in what was
being scanned at the register versus what the products were,
labeled and people ended up paying. More and face, it
most of, us we don't do item by item at the.
Thing you just you do it and then you give
them Your kroger card and takes off whatever, discount whatever it.
(01:50):
Is what you pay and you go, home you eat
because you just bought, food and we don't pay attention to.
It but NOW i don't. Know NOW i feel compelled
Like i'm gonna have to watch every single thing. Scan
do you do that when you buy your? Groceries do
you watch the numbers pop up on the screen or
do you just.
Speaker 2 (02:11):

Speaker 2 (02:34):
POSITIONS i mean to be fair though a lot of
times If i'm only getting a couple of things Because
kroger's is close to me as opposed to going To.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
It's just.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
Close so Sometimes i'll go there for one or two.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
Things and IF i go To, kroger NOW i come
to the one out by, you Or i'll go to
a Grand view or. Something, YEAH i won't even go
to my Neighborhood kroger anymore BECAUSE i told you once
they started harry armed guards to check my damn, Receipt,

That catch bad guys doing bad stuff and do something
about the bad. Guys don't harass everybody who bothers to
(03:09):
bring their commerce into your store and make them prove
that they're not stealing the gallon of milk and the baby.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
Wipes are you saying you're upset that after you buy
something and at your, property that you have to prove it?
Speaker 1 (03:19):

know these big armed guards standing at the. Door you
can't leave IF i can't see your. Receipt What i'm,
sorry this Is. Mark i'll leave IF i want. To
and if that's the attitude you're gonna, TAKE i won't
come to your store. Anymore and then what's gonna? Happen
more people like me will not come to the, store
and the next thing you, know that store is gone
(03:39):
and an entire community suffers because you couldn't deal with
the bad. Guys this is like keeping the whole class
after school because one kid threw the spitball at the.
Teacher the rest of us should not have to endure
that Crap kroger and So i'm not putting the bad
mouth On. KROGER i shop. There we spend lots of
money at c. Her my dad was a Big kroger.
(04:02):
Guy he used to do shopping for my grandmother On saturday.
Mornings grandma was, was she was Big. Bear she had
to be Big. Bear So dad would do our Shopping
friday after work At kroger so he could Do grandma's
Shopping saturday morning At Big. Bear and, uh their slogan
back then in the early seventies Was kroger means better.
(04:24):
Meat And dad bought into. That he thought he got
better meat At kroger than he did At Big, bear
and so that was that was his. Store So i'm
just carrying on the family. Tradition wad dude drank and that's,
uh that is in, uh you know homage. TOO i
guess the WAY i was brought. Up so it's not
THAT i disliked the. Store it's just THAT i dislike
(04:46):
the way THAT i am treated in my Neighborhood. Kroger so,
uh and Plus i've got the uh what do you call?
It the The? Kroger? Uh what's the? Boost do you? Have? That?
Yeah from them or anybody else? Where they you, know
you get the grocery delivery and all that. Stuff oh, no,
yeah The queen has already laid that out for. Me she,
says don't you dare renew that, really why, you because you,
(05:10):
know with all the stuff we've got going, on all the,
appointments all the, meetings and the kids in the, house
it's very. Busy is it like a discount? Off, well
it's if you order thirty five, dollars the more you
get free. Delivery AND i can't drive Past kroger without
spending thirty five dollars. More so that's, right that's not
a big. Deal but here's her complain about. It she
goes a third of the stuff THAT i, ORDER i
(05:33):
get a piece of paper it, says, oh it wasn't.
Available what it's, Like, okay it's in your sale ad this.
Week why is it not? Available and so she's, uh she,
said it's, yeah it's just easier for me to just
go to the store Because i'm sick of sitting down
and making this list and submitting the order and scheduling the,
delivery only to find that the delivery gets here and
(05:53):
a third of the stuff is missing because it wasn't.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
Available if it's, missing do you allow? Substitutes so have like, yeah, yeah, no.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
Because IF i pick something that's because that's WHAT i.
WANT i don't want your. SUBSTITUTE i don't know what
your your. Shopper, you're, oh, well we don't have any
of the Gold peak iced. Tea let me give. Him
here's a gallon of. Buttermilk, NO i don't want you
deciding what the. SUBSTITUTE i pick it WHAT i want
because that's WHAT i. Want so she, said, yeah don't
(06:26):
don't even bother to renew. That SO i don't, know
Maybe i'll try The walmart's got. IT i don't know
If meyer has anything like that or. Not but you,
know the convenience of being able to have stuff delivered
on a schedule is kind of a big deal as
long as it's cost. Effective but it's only cost effective
if if you can get what you. Want so, anyway
(06:48):
The kroger thing Just i'll keep an eye on the.
Story but you, know IT'S i, guess in coming upon
us with all this technology and using self service checkouts
and all that kind of, crap just gonna have to
watch that screen and make sure everything is priced the
way it's supposed to. Be or, again maybe that's just,
Me Maybe i'm oversimplifying. IT i don't. KNOW a two
one ninety eight six eight two ONE wtv and go
(07:08):
to The legacy Retirement group dot com phone. Lines good
evening to, You.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
JAMIE i think at the core people that work at
these stores are good, people but the corporate. MENTALITY i
thought it was Just kroger until, recently Admire My. MEYER
i had a girl that wasn't even a cop that
stopped me for had to checked my receipt and she
s physically stopped the cart from. LEAVING i, Said i'm.
Leaving you can chase me. Down she, says, NO i
(07:31):
can't let you, leave and finally got a manager. Involved
we've got a very nice letter From meyer after the.
Fact but these people need better training and the mentality is.
Bizarre the other problem is that they got cameras over
all the self, checks and it even looks like you
didn't scan your. Item they got to call somebody over
to verify that you didn't steal your.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
Items, well then get a cashier up there and check me.
OUT i, mean come, on, man, exactly if you're going
to give me the, job then then let me do the.
Job and if you don't trust me to do the,
job then put somebody up here that's under your control
that can do the. Job but don't don't do it both.
Ways it's.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
Crazy if you go down the aisles Of, crogress the
yellow price tickers look like, warningly like somebody went through
with a gun and just got, drunk putting those like
the prices were cheaper last. Week you. Can't i'm in
here all the. Time you can't do this to, Me.

come on Over jamie flag IF i get up there
there you, go take care of, Yourself. BODDY i appreciate the.
Call eighty eight six eight two ONE wtv AND. U
and why AM i even talking about? Right, well because Of,
columbus the big story From columbus today from of, course
(09:13):
you Know Zach, klein city prosecutor elected to the office
without a holding time in a court. Trial but they
they had the announcement today that they have closed down
another drug. House did you already see?
Speaker 2 (09:27):
This one's THAT i didn't think there was any of
those In.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
Columbus it's no drug. Houses, no, NO i would have
Never we. Don't we don't have drug houses. Here but,
again here's the, deal AND i say this every single
time they do. This this time around was eight oh
Nine Byron. Avenue Zach klein, says The Property Action. Team,
oh they have a team, now The Property Action. Team
(09:53):
The Property Action team obtained a court order to board
up this house at eight oho Nine Byron. Avenue my question,
immediately and as, always is now what you're gonna do with?
It that is a legitimate, question especially as we what
Did allison just say we have a lack of? Housing
(10:15):
how many boarded up houses does the city Of columbus.
Have now they take possession of these homes and then
they sit and they do. Nothing boards over the, windows
big orange sticker on the door that says homeless people
please bust through the. Wood live in the basement and
steal the. Copper that's not helping the, city is. It
(10:39):
city Of Columbus Land. Bank Franklin county also has a land.
Bank these seized, properties whether through criminal acts or delinquent
taxes or, whatever where your government seizes these homes and
then they, sit they become a, blight and The columbus
considers them boarded, Up so that's it's not a light
(11:00):
as long as it's. Boarded what ridiculousness is.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
This IF i drive through a neighborhood and there's more
than one building or one house that's boarded, Up i'm
driving right out of there because something's.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
Wrong, well, yes that's the FEELING i. Get, NO i absolutely.
Agree it's you know the on the Was It Blue
bloods where they were talking ABOUT i think it actually.
Existed they were referencing a real policy in The city
Of New york called broken, windows and the idea was
that when you allow the properties to, decline to, dilapidate
(11:34):
to sit around with broken windows looking, bad looking, nasty
what you are doing basically, saying, hey bad, guys we
do not give a damn move. On in nobody in
this city or in this community in this neighborhood or
on this street cares about. Anything so please move on.
In bring in your drug, operations bring in your, prostitution
(11:56):
bring it all, in because, look look at this. Block
we don't. Care and that essentially is what boarded up
buildings with orange stickers on the front say to, me
we don't. Care and, overall my Beloved West, side especially
in THE, uh the The Highland west Slash hilltop proper,
community there's some beautiful. Homes the, Architecture i'll be, frankly
(12:20):
you go Through Old, clintonville the homes that you see
In Old clintonville very much reflected in the homes that
you see in The hilltop. Area the difference is the.
People the difference is the treatment that the community gets
from City hall In. Clintonville when they're you, know cutting their,
grass planting flowers and sweeping up in front of the
(12:41):
house on The. Hilltop you, know they're they're parking the
jeep on the front yard and they're they're you, know
throwing their their pop parties that go until three, am
keeping the whole neighborhood awake AND uh and there's beer
cans on the street in front of the. House that's
the difference same damn, house same size lot building the
same year in the same. City one will go on
(13:04):
the market for four hundred and seventy five thousand, dollars
the other seventy thousand dollars on a good. Day it's
the people that Make, now why do you have those
type of people? There be cause you got a bunch
of board at up houses with orange stickers on the
front of. Them i'm not necessarily enthused each TIME i
(13:28):
see one of these stories about the city closing down
another drug, property where's the follow? Up what are they
doing with those properties once they have? Them why are
we not putting families into those? Homes why does the
city not use those? Properties and, Say, okay here's the.
(13:48):
Deal we're gonna do a lottery open to owner occupant
purchasers only you get in to say it's one hundred
bucks to get, in and they can donate that money
to the Midd Ohio Food collective or. Something hundred. Bucks
get into the, lottery you must be an owner, Occupant
(14:09):
you must bring the property up to code within one
year of, purchase and you must use it as your
primary residence for not less than thirty six or forty eight.
Months so somebody who is trying to get and they
get into the lottery and they become a neighbor in
(14:30):
a neighborhood and they, say oh my, GOSH i got a.
HOUSE i finally got a. House and they plant the
flowers and they cut the grass and they sweep up
out front and the next thing you, know the hilltop
becomes Like clintonville because instead of boarded up houses with
orange stickers on the, front you brought neighbors to a.
Neighborhood
