They can't get regular scheduling so they can plan for child care, and they are required to take split shifts. That Kroger chain (King's) is the most common one here in Denver. So everyone's trying to go to Safeway instead, where the shelves are half empty.

I may never go back to Kroger. Consider how they treat their workers when you make your shopping decisions. They are offering scabs $18 an hour.

Harris teeter is owned by Kroger. If you would like to avoid supporting the company locally.

Thank you for this information.

I actually like Harris teeter and was unhappy they sold out to Kroger. In one of our last grocery orders they placed a help wanted ad for all sorts of *part time* positions that required skills, like baker or butcher etc... No wonder they can't find anyone to fill *part time* skilled positions. Who wants to work two jobs and not get any benefits?

No. But there will be for certain african and middle eastern countries relying on Ukrainian and/or Russian grain...

Yes, food prices are going up. I am not worried about food though because I am a good cook (from scratch) as well as I have the set up at home to store food.

This is a very elitist statement, grocery tans across the board have gone up significantly due to inflation. The price of butter, oil, sugar, spices and produce have sky rocketed and the impact on families will not be ameliorated by simply cooking from scratch (which by the way most families are already doing).

Grocery stores are hiring - get a part time job at one for a discount if you're that impacted.

This comment wasn’t clever enough to post in one thread, let alone two.

It's not meant to be clever, it's meant to be serious. But I suspect most of the women complaining are SAHM's who really aren't that affected by "skyrocketing" grocery prices and just want something else to complain about.

Wow, you decided to subtract even more value from this thread by dragging SAHM into it.

You really don't need to eat that much food. Really. If you drop #2 twice a day, you are eating too much already. If you drop #2 and it's alot at one sitting, you are eating toooo much.

No. Do you even see how much perfectly good food gets thrown away?

I support immigration, and my parents were immigrants. But take it up with the CEO's who don't want to pay Americans a living wage.

The problem is that the wages for difficult jobs like field labor and barn mucking pay the same as or less than sitting on your a$$ at the Wawa. Most choose the easy buck. And this in turn is because the fizzy corn syrup drink costs much less to produce than those green beans, apples, and tomatoes. Our entire food system is whacked -- we subsidize and protect pricing for the wrong products.
