Re: Kroger and creepy PA Announcements

Hey there, I’ve been trying to get an answer about paging at Fred Meyer and their phones. I posted in the wrong spot. 1-Any reason why Fred Meyer has held onto those clunky old Rolm phones? 2-i live in Chicago and at Marianos paging is quite frequent, a bit less now that managers wear walkie talkies...

Re: Fred Meyer Remodels Continue

What I meant to say, does Fred Meyer still utilize overhead paging, like they used to.

Nordstrom Overhead Paging

I’ve noticed that a few Nordstrom’s in the Chicago area have switched their Legacy microphone overhead paging over to the phone system paging via the Avaya phones. It’s obvious, the music stops, the associate says the announcement and then you hear a telephone system CO disconnect noise when they ha...

Re: Fred Meyer Remodels Continue

I am a huge fan of telephone systems and paging systems in stores. I am curious, Kroger’s owns Marianos here in Chicago and they replaced Roundys rollout of Toshiba digital phones with Cisco IP sets. I see that Fred Meyer is still heavily invested in the ROLM telephone systems. This was a wise inves...

Re: Cisco Phones at Safeway Stores

Thank you for your responses. My real question is the fact that Safeway didn’t take advantage of the CAT 5 at each register and they instead installed Cortelco analog old school telephones at each checkouts using the old phone wiring. I assume they pulled the amphenol cable off the Nortel box and pl...

Cisco Phones at Safeway Stores

Who here is familiar with the telecom at Safeway? They were a huge Nortel client and then recently switched to Cisco. My friend worked for NorCal and showed me a sheet that touted the new Cisco phone system about four years ago, it was to include the then new sleek 7800 series phones and IP phones a...

Re: Safeway 7th Street and McDowell Road Remodel

They really need to do something about that lighting disaster upgrade as part of the remodel. Particularly where the strip lights are right next to what appears to be still-working can lights. The strip lights really cheapen the overall appearance. I am with you on this one. The strip lighting has ...

Re: Camp Fire Destruction

Safeway sure has had some bad luck with fires lately. First the store in Phoenix in July, now this one in Paradise. Was this in the NorCal division? I saw on google that it had a very old decor. Construction wise, I am guessing these grocery buildings in Paradise were not built like our grocery stor...
