You go Kroger!

I just wanted to give a shout-out to Kroger because they just became a member of my "They are an amazing business" list.  Here's what happened…

Last night, we went shopping at Kroger, just to get the normal stuff… food for the guinea pigs, chips and dip, etc.  While checking out, we do what we always do… scan our Kroger card.  Once we had done so, the screen notified us with "A special message will be printed on your receipt."  Um… ok!  We like special messages!  Well, once we got our receipt, we were informed that there has been a recall for Dean's dip, which we buy fairly often.  The recall was instated because salmonella had been found in the shipment.  Since Kroger keeps track of the things we buy, they notified us that we might have a product that is part of this recall.  Well… it doesn't stop there…

I just got a phone call from, guess who?!?  Kroger!  It was basically the same message… a product you bought has been recalled.  They stated that "this message is possible because you are a loyal Kroger customer and use your Kroger card."  (or something like that) 

So, props out to Kroger!  Sure, you can have all of my data.  You're going to have it whether it's connected to me or not.  At least in this case, it was to protect us.

 

Oh…and by the way… we had already eaten the dip.  Oops!
