The barely above minimum wage manager doesn't make these decisions and all you gain from screaming at him is bringing down the mix of everyone around you.
The best way to handle this is to not shop at Kroger. Not when they start doing it. Now. Kroger won't get my money until they publicly admit this is a bad move and walk it back before it happens.
I think the implication of screaming is more to let the whole store know just how exactly fucked this idea is, to get everyone talking about it. Yea the manager doesn’t make the decisions but if he hears no push back, the rich fucks at the top sure don’t.
A manager of a Kroger in a metro area is pulling above 6 figures after their quarterly bonuses are added in.
And has zero influence on corporate policy.
But enacts corporate policy.
That doesn't mean that they would have power over the policy, though. They might just get policy that they're expected to carry out, no questions asked.
In an extreme scenario, a store manager may bend the rules, but they wont hold their job for long. The company would probably prefer to replace them with someone who will follow company policy.
Yelling at people for just trying to make a living also is a bit harsh. Not all deeds are excusable because they provide people with income, but managing a Kroger is not really a bad thing.
