I used to go to Kroger during peak time at my favorite store, to avoid long lanes at the register, for just a few items. I bought zucchini and they were very bitter twice. I stopped buying zucchini there. I bought eggs and I got sick. Scratch the eggs. I still went for other items. I liked to buy pork chops there. One day I opened the package and threw them away: they smelled totally rotten. I never bought seafood there because I could tell by the smell, walking past, that it would be a bad idea. Now I don't go anymore. It is sad because it was convenient, being very close and rarely crowded. It was better until a couple of years ago.
