Zero chance that he wasn't aware of that lawsuit.
and lieing about it does just makes it worse!
This guy will be out the door shortly, working at Wendy's with the dude from Disney that got let go.
Liar Liar
That's what CEOs are for, lying. Look at Zuckerberg, Dorsey, etc who lied about Big Tech censoring conservative journalists.
@@robjohnson8522 Lying about it before Congress is a felony. He should be prosecuted.
He also lied about giving food to food banks. He refused to give food to religious based food banks in Illinois on the sole reason because they were religious based. This happened at our local Jewell here.
Please share this on fb. The only way we can fight this disgusting movement is to make it go viral.
the reason religious orgs don't pay taxes is because they are supposed to use that money to feed the poor and heal the sick. they can buy their own food with the money they don't pay in taxes.
@@dennislurvey3235 You might want to review some constitutional law. The laws behind the principle of separation between church and state prevent the state from collecting taxes. The specific food bank I was referring to does not have any source of income. It operates completely on volunteers who help out and donations from the guy who runs it, who supports the operation with his own funds. No one gets paid. They do get some random financial donations, but those just go to pay for gas for the truck that picks up the food. As with many food banks, they are not a big institution with a lot of cash flow.
@@robinmartz9052 *UNLESS THEY HAVE CHANGED, FB WILL CENSOR THE TRUTH LIKE THIS JUST AS TWITTER DID! I NEVER JOINED FB AS I SEE THEM AS A COMMUNIST ORGANIZATION THAT WOULD KICK ME OFF IN ABOUT 3 MINUTES! OF COURSE, THEY MAY HAVE COLD FEET NOW SINCE TWITTER IS BEING EXPOSED! SO DO IT YOURSELF ROBIN AND GOOD LUCK!*
The left most of them are anti-christian and that's okay too. Freedom. You stay on your side and I'll stay on mine
This CEO is lying!!
This is a very dangerous merge.. Lies. Yes people will be let go..
Unfamiliar with EEOC lawsuit?_ automatic pilot on this foolish esg
Absolutely!
What CEO doesn’t know what his company is doing.
If you haven't viewed the CEOs testimony to Tom Cotton, do it. Cotton's closing is incredible.
@@maryok4099 thanks,
Agreed Cotton and Hawley outstanding.. they know what's up.
Kgr/albrtsn not the biggest mess right now,but they want you to think so..
The CEO of Kroger is a prime example of the Peter Principle.
Senator Hawley ripped this idiot “CEO” but good ! 😂😂😂
To be raised to the level of his incompetency.
What's that?
@@CantIllaoiThat Peter Principle refers to this expression in the book by Laurence J.Peter.
Dave Dillion #1 kroger CEO
What kind of CEO of a HUGE company squirms. Embarrassing.
A corrupt one!
@@gravitytwo4088 exactly!
When he was answering questions about store closings and lay off he had his fingers crossed so it didn't count, right?
These guys didn't get to where they are due to their commitment to being one and honest
Weasels squirm a lot.
Why not hire people who are BEST for the job instead of their skin color, sexually orientation, or religion. Diversity, inclusion? Patooey!
This is America. We don't hire on that basis any longer. As such, the approach to much of the blue-collar work is no longer skill dependent. It's designed by computer algorithms and can be accomplished a by a trained ape.
The thing is that don't Jeff........ were you born yesterday???
@@d.h.jefferies2191 huh?
Because 99% of the time the best person for the job is a straight white man. And we all know that white man=bad.
Diversity on the outside, hivemind on the inside. Diverse thought isn't allowed. So much for "beauty is only skin deep."
Dude asks the question then shows paperwork and they still lie. Wtaf ?!
Yup. I divorced that guy. 🤣🤣🤣
Kroger: “We’re trying to be inclusive of everybody with all different beliefs…” ... unless you are a pro-family, conservative, polite, Christian. Then you are FIRED! Get out! Hit the Road!
100%
I will exclusively take my grocery shopping else where after shopping at Kroger since 1979.
@beavis....Can you refuse to wear your rainbow heart apron?
@@jenscheibner792and target. Those pervs are trying to sell children tuck pants.
Polite christian ? Oxymoron I would say.
Sen. Hawley is on point, yet again. And they tried to squirm out of it, but he made it clear-they’re not looking at the best for their employees nor the communities their stores serve, nor their shareholders if they claim not to know what’s going on in their company when being sued!
Agree on principle, but if you look at the actual heart logo in question, it does not resemble a pride logo and reasonable people would not think it does.
I love when cry baby Christians pretend like they are being mistreated LOL it's pathetic
I like what I see from Sen Hawley. However his position on election interference is problematic, because he took such a strong stance and was wrong, yet he hasn't acknowledged that. Only being truthful about ourselves, will make us better than the left.
@@reference2592 The courts did not agree. Kroger lost the case. Glad they have no stores in my area anymore. Trash store and woke BS mindset within the company leadership. Hope they tank and completely cease to exist in the near future. 👍🏻🇺🇸
@@mshinn13 You expect courts to be rationale? You don't need to take my word for it. Go look up the logo. It bears no resemblance whatsoever to anything you'd call a pride symbol and it does not have a pride rainbow. I don't want courts catering to people actively trying to be offended on either side of the aisle.
wow, just wow. if you watch closely, there is a reaction when Hawley says "do your shareholders know about that?"
He is one of the shareholders! LOL WAKE UP
WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO OUR PEOPLE IN THE U.S.A.!! THIS THIS SCAREY!
It all started back in the late 80s early 90s when they came up with T ball where they put a baseball on a stand so all players got a hit in the and had no pitcher no strike outs what a joke it has become
@@kennethschiavone7934 tee ball started in the 50's.
@@mattcoffee1269 sorry I was wrong I was going off when I learned about grew up 60s 70s. Never played it. Wasn't in our community of Irwin. Thanks for informing me
None at all I agree
@@kennethschiavone7934 my dad has picks of his team in 58!
Once again, THANK YOU Senator Hawley for speaking so clearly for the people. You do your job and I appreciate you so much!! Wish all of our Senators would be as diligent.
Boycott them all.
Would love to but its such a pain in the ass where I am. Most common grocery store in my area is Kroger. The second most common is Wal Mart.
Dude conservatives can’t even boycott Walmart and Amazon 😂.
@@k3w1b3an5 that’s basically all we have too and I never though about how much of the market they control even in other states if you go to fry’s that’s Kroger.
This CEO was asked how many stores he was going to spin off (Which is to say "Divest"/"Sell-off") and he says "Zero". Then he says he's going to Divest them, and Hawley asks again "How many", and the CEO goes into details of how he's going to "Divest"/Sell-off"/"Spin-off". The CEO is just lying through word-smithing.
Not really, I'm against this merger but likely they will be forced to sell off stores in certain markets so that they're not the only chain in town (other than walmart).
And it's a safe bet he contributes heavily to demoncrats by way of NGO/NPO's.
I worked for Kroger in a FT position, with part of my hiring requirements being Sundays off so I could attend services. My shift buddy also had that, so I worked overnight Sat-Sun and he did Sun-Mon so we could both attend. Well, he left, and the new HR and management decided to screw with my schedule. I reminded them it was part of my hiring, had been OK for years. They kept scheduling me. I used sick time to take Sundays off and had an in person meeting. _They did not have my application and availability paperwork in my file, under the excuse that it was the previous HR lady mismanaging documents._ They claimed all FT personel were required to have open availability, therefore I had to be available to work whenever they scheduled me. I reminded them it was for religious service and practice. They reiterated the requirement for FT was 100% open availability.
I was hired in 2019. I quit 2021 as my college class was re-offered. A store in the PNW. I would have been willing to go to PT, and submitted the paperwork to do so, but it was denied by my manager.
You tell me that wasn't religious discrimination. It was, pure and simple, but they skirted every rule possible so this CEO can look squeaky clean and claim he never fired anyone. Lol, linguistic loopholes, when in reality retail is inhospitable to anyone with religious beliefs about not working on a holy day.
PWN is "Pacific North West" on the "left coast" of the USA, for anyone who is wondering. Yes, it was religious discrimination.
We’ll I’m a Christian but i don’t agree with you. If church gets in the way find another job. Companies wouldn’t be open sundays if we all pulled that card. And it would be abused
So pretty much society can’t function in Sundays if you think like you. Gas stations or anything closer to go to church? In a perfect world maybe. I assume you are lazy
Yup.
@@Billy-lq4fu only the educated elite can have religious exemption. Like sunday off. If your a grunt worker... You will not get Sunday off. You live a sheltered life. Lmfao
They have already sent out notices of employees to be terminated and stores to be closed.
It's weird that companies are more interested in hiring people based on the genitalia that a worker enjoys orally, rather than the skills that employee has.
Why? Robots are taking over nearly every field, humans are running out of actual work. People need to learn new skills.
@@springerworks002 And what do we do with the people who can't learn those skills? As in between the boundary of mentally deficient and incapable. Are they just out of work? No more courtesy clerks keeping things clean or greeting with a smile or a carry out... no more decorating cakes and ensuring the supplies are organized... no more doing the basic things humans have done since forever...
Some people can learn new skills. Those positions will fill up fast and then you'll have unemployed, high skilled workers. And when they can't get those position they'll fill lower skill jobs, such as what we're seeing now with teens unable to find starting work but on a countrywide scale.
Automation has a place. So does the human element. Telling people to learn new skills doesn't solve the issue, especially in a system that punishes people for learning skills and becoming specialized.
I'm sorry what the fuck 💀 No one is firing anyone for their sexuality, that's not even Hawley's claim.
@@jacobhaft9714 -- well, I wasn't suggesting they did. The issue is making employees wear an emblem that represents a sexual preference. That's all Hawley was saying.
hahaha
“Not of my knowledge” “I can’t recall” is there blueprint for the bullshit
Judge Judy would ask the CEO "where did you think you were coming today, THE BEACH?!?"
So....Kroger has gone full on woke
Yep, they have and it's costing them business just like Disney - going down the toilet in order to please a handful of people over the majority of decent folk.
Not quite as bad as other companies but yeah. . .the corporation HQ has.
Yep. No more Kroger for me
Senator: “Are you made aware when Kroger faces major lawsuits.”
CEO: No sir, I’m just the CEO. I’m not always told about things that happen.
A $180,000 settlement to a multi billion dollar corporation isn't exactly a major lawsuit. They've likely budgeted millions for settlements for all kinds of things.
@@bgbgbg123 correct, that’s when they settle, they didn’t, they were ordered to pay, which means this took a long time in court, even if it was a settlement, when it’s a violation of civil liberties or labor code, any major company would change corse to avoid further lawsuits .. they would change policies and email memos.. I highly highly doubt he was “unaware”
@@arcticwolf4707 it was a settlement. And if you look at that heart symbol, a reasonable person would not say it looks like a pride symbol. The colors are very different unless you want to say any rainbow looking symbol is a gay pride thing.
@@bgbgbg123 like I said, settlement or not, that won't change the fact that this case went to court and his company had to "settle/ agree/ ordered to pay 180k to the plaintiff, in fact this case made the news! for you as the CEO/ vice president/ director of this company to say "oh i am unaware'.. its kinda ridiculous .. 🙄he is not a bagger or a cashier at Kroger .. he is the CEO! ... as far as the symbol goes that's not part of the argument .. and that's why all those companies should stick with what they do and stop playing identity politics to avoid all this mess!
@@arcticwolf4707 have you seen the symbol? The only reason someone would think its a gay pride symbol is it has different colors. It looks nothing like a pride flag or similar symbol. The colors aren't even the same. Kroger was in the right here but I'm sure they decided it was easier and cheaper to just pay the settlement and move on.
I will never go to Krogers again. This CEO is SICK
Arrogant, another rich elite trying to virtue signal for the corporation. It's the "in" thing to do now.
I started boycotting Kroger when they pulled pro-American/patriotic products in June 2022.
Same!
Same!
Yes. Best to ho to Walmart owned by china
Why the merger? ALDI must be putting one heck of a hurting on both of those over priced stores.
A city with two Walmart's and no Aldi's in it I used to live in had several groceries store closed there, Kaybee Toys and Toys are us closed also some department stores.
When we were looking at relocating one of the requirements was that it had, to have an Aldi!
They have alot of stuff other groceries don't!
If you didn't already know it this is how you get to be CEO or a rich man in the USA - you SELL YOUR SOUL and trample the little guy into dust
Klobuchar looks and sounds like she's aged 10 years since running for president.
She is a waste just like Harris!!
She's evolved from a crone into an old crone.
Short on adre----C. Rome! IMO
When your ass is trouble that happens lol
She eats with a comb.
Hawley got an amazing voice !
How is it possible to not know about a federal lawsuit?
The guy smiling behind him every time he buries him just makes this great.
Bouta start shopping at meijer!
Those settlement cases are so dangerous, cause they HAVE to be looked up to be found….the news will not talk about them until they go public like this!
After shopping at Kroger since 1979, I'm gone...
I noticed the guy behind senator Hawley as well as his expressions are hilarious 😂 😂😂
Josh Hawley, sir we appreciate you keeping reality and sanity remembered
We paid 180K to two individuals who were terminated due to their religious beliefs, but we never fired anyone over their religious beliefs.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
I don't know why people even shop at Kroger. Their prices even when on sale is nearly always still higher or equivalent to regular prices compared to other grocery stores.
Because most kroger shoppers are older folks with no education background or liberal white teens who give no fu*k to the world. Sad but true!
Josh is always a treat to watch working. He's as articulate and intelligent as they come, as well as relentless.
P. I. M. P. 🙌
He can run fast when the mob is coming!
Yes 🙏 I agree...from SAfrica
"Divesting stores to a viable competitor" means that the merger creates a monopoly in an area so they must either spin off an inferior chain that can only compete poorly or sell to a competitor who has no delivery infrastructure in that area and will not be a serious competition.
😮
@@JC-tx3gh optimally, the big brand hopes the small brand can continue operating so that the larger one isn't accused of having a monopoly. Like a Verizon being threatened by a boost mobile (not a totally accurate example since many telephone small brands are part of a much larger carrier),
@@RockOfLions ah ha understood. Thank you
100% I didn’t think about it until today but I’ve only got Walmart and Kroger as options. Maybe target for some things but I can’t get a steak there.
Perhaps, but divesting to a competitor who has the ability to negotiate the price they pay, and doesn’t have other barriers to entry, sure beats closing the stores entirely.
I know people that worked at Kroger and caught someone stealing and when she turned it in to the bosses she was accused of stealing herself. Sad!!!!
One thing I've learned from listening to police interrogators is that when suspects say not that I know of, the majority of the time it's a lie.
I love Sen Hawley ( and I'm not even American) when they start to stammer, it cracks me up lol
In shopping at Kroger, they try to funnel most shoppers into the self checkout area. They may have 2 checkstands open with actual checkers and long lines at peak times, while they may have up to 12 self checkout locations. I don't mind self checkout if I have a few items, but if I have a cart full of groceries, I don't want to use self checkout.
Great job Mr. Hawley!!!
I used to work for Kroger. I’ll tell you this, as a conservative I was denied promotion many times
Liar liar pants on fire,how can ceo of companies lie and get away with it?
Awesome Mr. Hawley!
He is an insurrectionist. Are you one as well?
@@stealthattack2209 tell me your ignorant without telling me your ignorant. You nailed it.
He sure can run like a coward!
@@piratescove4 am I really ignorant?
I at least know the difference between YOU ARE and YOUR.
Something you are clearly struggling with.
@@stealthattack2209 you sound like the rest of the world liberals, dumb and misinformed. Anybody you don't agree with is an insurrectionist. You lie so much you can't keep them all straight in your head.
This reminds me so much of when the tobacco companies were being questioned about the dangers of cigarettes. They all raised their hand, about 11 of them. And swore that cigarettes did not harmfully impact your health. They lied then as these guy’s are now.
So how dare you ask me what I am.not prepared to answer
Even though nothing ever manifests from these hearings, it's joyous to watch these guys stutter and squirm for the day.
Kroger's HQ is in Cincy... There's plenty of childhood hunger in Cincy. They didn't even have a functioning store in Cincy until a few years back. The last downtown store was scary AF, causing those living downtown (w/ cars) to drive to KY.
A real people company...
McMullen's salary in 2021 was listed at $1.34 million. The company's median employee salary that year was a bit more than $24,000. This indicates McMullen makes 5,348 percent of the median salary. This is one of the largest wage gaps in America.[9]
His total compensation is much more. In 2020, his salary plus bonuses plus various stock options totaled $20,578,119.[10]
This is beautiful. A public spanking of two CEO's - now THAT inclusivity.
My Lord, I would dread having Sen. Hawley as opposing council... the man is brilliant. I am SO SO SO Happy he is on our side. Get 'em Josh!!!
AMEN❤️
Watching him run like a coward on January 6th is pretty damn funny.
@@YZ250W1 sure.... thing. Probably got that from “reliable, anonymous, fbi / cia asset sources... LIKE RAY EPPS and/or FAKE MAGA PLANTED PLANT THAT FOOLS NOONE AND EVERYONE KNOWS HE WAS A FED.... or the little fake MAGA.. ANTIFA/BLM FACISTS/MARXISTS/COMMUNISTS‼️”

Yes yes wish we had his caliber here in SAfrica . God bless you all Amen 🙏
Wait till you experience the guy that's taking over for that punk, what's his worthless name, oh yeah, Blount. The DC swamp must really loathe Missouri. First Hawley and now Schmitt. Grrr
Let me tell you what inclusion and diversity SHOULD be... People should be hired based on their abilities WITHOUT ANY consideration whatsoever about unimportant differences like race, sexual preference, gender, or anything else.
Humans are humans.
The way Mr.Hawley directs his questions is absolutely awesome. 👍👍👍
Awesome no nonsense….Josh 🇺🇸💪‼️
Run Josh run!
The CEO claiming ignorance on so many questions. Judge Judy would ask him "where did you think you
were going today THE BEACH??" Liar Liar
This is serious stuff! This is awesome! Excellent educational video!
Can't someone ask them if they NOW recognize this abuse that took place? While they are right there in front of them?
What would be the point of asking?
He asked the CEO if he wanted to appologize to the two ladies they fired. NOPE If he did, there could
have been some damage control....
Did you notice the ceo called Hawley “sir”at the end. Why was he allowed to get away with that? Theater.
Them higher-ups always have an answer for everything you can clearly see in this guy's face he's going to do something he's going to lay off workers he's going to lay off people they use fancy talk it's all bs the whole damn thing.
I’m speechless.
In last month's Forbes Magazine I appreciate how they called him a liar and a cheat and have the receipts to prove it
They called Josh Hawley a liar and cheat?

These guys look so uncomfortable. U kno they are lying.
"What else do you not know about?" 😂 😂 😂
Thank you. And thank GOD for Publix. I will NEVER darken the door of ANY Kroger…
Betterxto go to Walmart owned by china!!!🤣
Publix is way too small, they're not national
@@justinedse3314 ??? Too small for WHAT? Kroger has tried to,gain traction in Florida against Publix…FAILED. They fail because Publix keeps,their stores SPOTLESS… have fresh produce and perishables, and don’t buy into the woke BS that Kroger has. They RESPECT the beliefs of Christians and would NEVER discipline an Employee for treating someone with respect by saying SIR and MA’AM. I’ll take smaller regional Grocers over woke Kroger who don’t keep the same cleaning standards as Publix.
Thank you Senator Hawley for calling out the CEO for his stock buyback, Kroger has taken advantage of their associates, definitely lost out on a LOT in this last contract. All that stuff about “wages increasing,” malarkey as brandon would say.
Go Senator Hawley!
3:31 “zero hunger zero waste” as an ex Kroger employee I would witness TONS of bakery, deli and produce items THROWN AWAY instead of being placed in the bin we got for zero hunger zero waste. Big PR move but current and ex employees know most of the stuff is tossed than recycled
THIS ^^^ I have witnessed SO MUCH waste! I have witnessed them throw away everything from tomato plants and other vegetable plants, coffee makers, TONS of produce and just lots of food in general... Employees going hungry and they would rather toss it in the garbage.
These overpaid CEO's , doing the " feel good" words and acting. Pathetic
Did any Republican congressperson ask: "If you were asked by the governmment (state or federal) to keep people out of your stores and not allow them to shop (even online for pick up) if they don't have a vaccine passport or proof of vaccine, would you comply? And I'll clarify that I'm not talking about a ebola outbreak here; I'm talking about something similar to what happened with COVID". I didn't watch the whole hearing, so I don't know if anyone asked (no time these days, although I did watch a lot more in the past, as it's the best way to get educated and not indoctrinated by the MSM, etc.).
So glad Kroger stores have gone out of business in our area. Will never shop at another Kroger anywhere.
As we say in Scotland that CEO has a "brass neck". This translates to be, in this context, a blatant liar.
I find it troubling how they aske their questions then promptly leave the hearing to go do nothing.
Maybe the higher prices I've been STRUGGLING to pay are HOW these corporations make claims of do-gooding.
Definitely not shopping at Kroger ever.
My wife worked at Kroger the conditions were very bad. She was the Baker if she had the freezer door shut on her she would died. People were not promoted from the inside. My wife had been a food service manager in nursing homes and she couldn't move up into management even with ten years experience in food service management, seven years as a cook in nursing homes and a four year degree in home economics. So this man is not being honest in his testimony about Kroger. If you stood for principle you could easily get fired.
Sen. Hawley is awesome. Rip these fakes up, right to their faces.
Kroger Leadership = 0
I can tell you that Kroger is not 0 hunger 0 waste and treat employees badly.
Josh keep up your excellent questions and the clarity of your points
This older generation of CEOs make me sick. There’s a war starting between young founders who genuinely care about *people* and the (largely) boomer culture of unethical, uncaring business. Taking care of people is good business, and we’ll see that proven in the next decade as us young founders take the lead.
Yours is the most pertinent comment on here. The boomers took everything and pulled up the ladders.
Run Josh run. See Josh run!
This CEO is lying to his face. Wicked.
I will never shop at Kroger or Albertsons again....
Senator Hawley I'd like his questioning he's pretty damn thorough he is outstanding in his job both the guys are from Kroger I know that they're dodging questions left and right but you know when it comes down to the small guys on the the front line is be the checkers and that kind of stuff and box boys all that stuff produce managers produce handler's grocery everything they are so already understaffed it's not even funny I mean I went today trying to get groceries at Smith's and I shouldn't in line and there was six Lanes to go to and then a bunch of them electronic checkout places well to check out automated ones for full and then which I can't stand and I shouldn't line to get go through a checker which I'll Checkers were open but two out of us like seven or eight but anyway they were all full and it was jam-packed mostly people from out of this country if you know what I mean it was just it's very disheartening especially when their carts are loaded full and I I got one of them tiny little carts and it's not even half full and I can't even afford that and they're buying grocery carts full because they're getting free everything free housing food stamps healthcare you name it I'm disabled and a low income fixed income and I get I get a good punch in the mouth but I get go red go red go red
Joe Biden and the Democrats love to tax the working class so they can give it to the illegals who are the future Democrat voters.
Can she say white paper?😂😂😂😂😂😂
Not the point, I know but Senator Hawley has got that voice and demeanor my Father had when he would ask me and my brothers “You got something to tell me?” eyebrow raise….
"zero hunger and zero waste"... meantime your employees are starving
No question, Josh Hawley is a superhero
Mr Hawley great asset to the Republicans. God bless you Mr Hawley 🙏
And during Covid, he gave himself a raise and all we got was an extra two dollars.
I will NEVER SHOP AT KROGERS AGAIN NEVER!!
Well my friend I'm from the great state of Montana and that one guy there he's mentioned Montana it's a Kroger stores well I have no choice but to shop at it because the two stores in town are run by Kroger or is there grocer is Kroger what I'm saying is is I can barely barely barely eat and pay my rent I was going to try and put gas in the truck this month but I can't and I just don't today's payday I'm on a disabled and social security it's I don't know what to do I mean by the time anybody does get any help to us eventually cuz it's been forever it'll be damn near too late will we'll go way under we'll we'll owe so much by the time you get anything we'll have to use that to pay it back and some so I don't get it I just hope they pull their heads out of their ass go red go red go red go red
Noone has to do that because the individual will show themself in their work ethic i.e. Puritan and they will fire themself
Finally someone standing up
McMullen is only giving the answers that he thinks Hawley wants to hear
Kroger's not everything they want you to believe, including their praise of being good for your community. So shop elsewhere please, I hear Publix and Winn Dixie are nice.
Senstor Hawley rocks!
Shocking
Definitely not buying shares of Kroger any time soon
I work for Kroger and they're full of s***
Crush Kroger CEO, stop protecting the money people.
I do not believe he did not know about the lawsuit, number one. Number two, I would like to know how many of the LGBT community shop at Kroger as compared to the majority of his shoppers who are not members of that community. Number 3, I cannot believe you fired these ladies!!!! I will have to think long and hard before enter Kroger again.!
' I gave everyone else in the whole company 1.2 billion. ' "you gave yourself a billion!" 'So?'
Kroger is a horrible place to work for because of McMullen's greed, the last two years of me working at Kroger was like a sweatshop where I was being treated like a slave, I wish McMullen would focus on providing a good work life for the employees and reaching out to the Seyfried family instead of focusing on Kroger merging with Albertson's.
