Cons

Environment can get obsessive compulsive. Layout of stores can get messy and change too often. People in different departments can lack team spirit towards others. Managers and coworkers can exhibit attention deficit. Coworkers can lack speed of response and of transaction processing and can tend to lack physical fitness. Cash registers can be cluttered and overmerchandised. Physical fixtures can be unnecessarily big and heavy. Store public announcement system can lack clarity of sound. Offerings in deli and bakery can lack imagination. Pastries offered in Pete's or Starbucks can be plain and unappealing. Coffee sold can be too dark a blend. Restrooms not numerous enough . Music playing can be really old or lack quality. Lunchroom can seem too functional and unclean. Hours worked can be repetitive. Parking lots can be unprepossessing . New Kroger setup can create too many store assistant managers who walk around not having much to do.
