Looks like the same type of set up as the Safeway. Must be some loss prevention consultants recommending this set up to these chains.norcalriteaidclerk wrote: ↑February 3rd, 2023, 6:17 pm https://www.cbs8.com/article/news/local ... 5b6d8fc780
Now even some Kroger family chains are doing it at some locations,with or without a merger.

This is nothing new for Kroger. Several Fred Meyer stores in the Portland area have had certain items locked up for a while now, and the Gateway location, which we have discussed before, basically has walled off the entire apparel department and still has some clothing items in locked cases.storewanderer wrote: ↑February 3rd, 2023, 11:24 pmLooks like the same type of set up as the Safeway.

This will work about as well as Wal Mart's caged in cosmetics departments with a separate register. The separate registers in my area haven't been staffed in years and the departments are 40-75% out of stock due to theft. I expect this to end the same way- the separate registers won't be staffed and/or it won't cut the theft down and in the end you'll have these weird segregated areas that are full of out of stocks.
The HBA department at the Gateway store is also completely separated with its own checkout.Super S wrote: ↑February 4th, 2023, 5:52 amThis is nothing new for Kroger.
