[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 220440"] I don't get out much so I can't really tell you firsthand experience. I'm already so poor that the economy doesn't hurt me. However, Devon works for Kroger and he was always scheduled for 6 days a week and they often called him in on his day off. Last week he worked 4 days; this week he's scheduled for 3. It's happening to all of their part time staff. They say they don't have the business. Devon did say something interesting: he said that as a cashier, he is seeing less people using food stamps. Now I know it's not because there is a decrease in people on food stamps; in fact, it's the opposite. But, Kroger is the most expensive place to shop for groceries around here and I think they are just shopping at Super Walmart or Meijers to get more bang for their buck. Those two stores are about 20 minutes away and are always packed which makes shopping there a hassle, but now that gas prices have come down and food prices have gone up, plus more people losing jobs, they're being smarter how they shop.
