Re: What is happening at Marianos?
New Marianos uniforms are unprofessional at best. Instead of wearing super professional black slacks and white shirts and classy sweaters, Marianos employees can now wear street clothes such as a polo shirt or flannel and jeans and tennis shoes.

Re: Fred Meyer and Harris Teeter Kroger phones?
So how about Harris Teeter getting Kroger’s typical new Cisco 7800 IP phones both in departments and at the checkout lanes and Harris Teeter can lose those old antiquated gooseneck microphones at each checkout?

Fred Meyer and Harris Teeter Kroger phones?
Has Fred Meyer replaced the ROLM telephone systems with the standard Kroger Cisco IP platform?
