Why doesnt king soopers do the free friday download

Really difficult to self-check a cartful of groceries. Even after 8, there may only be one lane open. I just have to give a shout out to my KS. The gentleman that works the self checkout is always friendly, engages in conversion with customers and is quick to answer the call for help button.

Everyone there is always friendly and helpful! I appreciate your rant but wanted to give credit to my local KS! King Soopers used to be my go-to store. No more. Laura, is there anyway to recieve info on where you are donating everything? My email is junet gmail. I too was a big double coupon fan donating thousands of dollars worth of items to the Arvada Food Bank since It was truly amazing the buying power I had with coupons. I did not like the change, but I accepted it.

I prefer to check out myself because I can keep track of everything at my own pace. What a way to run a business! I take the time to respond to their survey invitations. As for shopping at Safeway, are you joking? That is great to hear. You do have to watch your coupons. Sometimes they miss scanning them. But hey they add up!!! Hi I had a coupon issue also. They KS would not budge in giving me the correct and honest discount I deserved. I had to return the item.

I too shop for my local food bank. Luckily I have both stores near by. I have written to them several times about their app and suggested improvement…but nothing has happened yet. Another rant.. In the weeks they have marked off those spots for only those who are to pick up their order, I have only seen one car there. I feel sorry for the disabled or elderly that would love to use those parking places themselves.

I have no idea why KS is becoming so unfriendly. So unusable. I could rant for a few hundred more words but will leave this note semi short.

Thanks for letting me rant. Laura, Thank you for your rant! I too am frustrated with KS and their new coupon policy. Not that I am an expert couponer but I do try and those coupons I use help a lot for my family. I have to say that I was very intrigued that you donate back I think this is wonderful! Have you ever considered or heard of Purse with a Purpose? They used to be great but not anymore. But the new employees seem to think they are doing you a favor just showing up…there should be more training so they know how to treat the customer.

Thanks you so much for this article. I thought I was the only one. They have truly lost my business. The problem with cashiers not being great at customer service comes from the top-managers down. Once, I had an experience with a district manager, talking to a deli clerk, I asked him for directions in the store. He literally, looked away and ignored me, and awkwardly the deli clerk stepped in.

Then I could realize why all the people working in the store, looked like they hated their jobs. I went and photographed the price tag on the display and we got it cleared up at customer service. I too use coupons and usually check myself out as always have a small amount. I always know what the price of my items are. Thanks for your e mail each and every day. Overall I have had excellent service at my primary King Soopers in central Boulder.

There is an occasional problem but virtually all have been resolved to my satisfaction. They even often go above and beyond what I would think is reasonable, including at other locations. If there is a problem, be persistent and objective but polite.

And I love the Free Friday Downloads at King Soopers it does say Friday Pacific Time after all; the hardest part is finding them in the store if there is no regular Free Friday Download display or it is refrigerated or frozen or not highlighted or tagged in the regular store shelves!

The King Soopers gas points surveys appear to use Central Time limit one survey per seven days. Other KS offers might use yet another time zone. Thank you Laura….. Though I have had similar treatment by many of their regular clerks. What happened to courtesy?! Clerks are people too. Many grocery stores are converting to digital and self-checkout. Some companies like Walmart have already started making moves to pure self-checkout think about costs. If you have problem with fast and cheap, then King Soopers is not your best bet and you should go to Sprouts or something.

Start looking at the whole picture. Thank you for your comments as you speak for me as well. I hardly shop at King Soopers since they stopped doubling coupons. If they have an item at a great price and I have a good coupon for it I will shop there, otherwise I go to Safeway which is directly across the street. At least I can get my coupon doubled.

I myself have not noticed a lowering of prices as they stated when they stopped doubling coupons, and I notice most of the digital coupons they offer are 50 cents or less and they are for their branded products only. For the past few months my engine started vibrating, not a lot, but enough to cause concern and annoy me. Three different certified mechanics hooked it up to their computers and nothing registered as being wrong…they all told me to bring it back when the check engine light came on.

The vibration just went away. I doubt that they would respond if I told them. Maybe when they read this, they may check into it. I, too, and considering moving my shopping to Safeway. Do you do more workshops like that? Thanks for your good work with the charities, everyone! Turns into a hassle.

We do have excellent people and service at KS at th Avenue an Washington in my experience. We do give several workshops on couponing and are happy to speak to groups at community centers, churches, libraries, etc. Sherry, Good to hear that you have good people in your store. There are some checkers I avoid and others who I know are terrific at their jobs and will sometimes wait in a longer line if it means I can interact with one of the more experienced or friendly checkers. IN fact they often honor a coupon with what seems to be just a general generic override, if it gives them trouble.

I am not saying there is not an occasional honest mistake, but considering the volume of business they do, my receipts which I do check and keep track of always reflect the savings I expected. Perhaps you should take up your issues with management at each particular store.

All I know is that the two stores where I shop are extremely well run, and the employees are friendly and helpful. And at my store, if I shop early the self checkout clerk is glad to call someone to check me out in a line if I request it. I do that if I have a lot of groceries, especially produce. I am not affiliated with KS in any way, just a happy customer.

So I say, talk to managers at your particular store with your concerns. Fill out those sales ticket feedback surveys and if there are enough negatives it might have an impact. Be the squeaky wheel. This Friday freebie is an awesome way to explore new products without the fear of wasting money. Within a few years, King Soopers had gone from 1 store to 9.

To this day, King Soopers has a significant presence in Colorado and even extends into Wyoming. See the Kroger Free Friday Download here. Kelli Bhattacharjee is the owner of Freebie Finding Mom. When she's not goofing around with her son, she's busy blogging, or just hanging out with the family which usually involves listening to music too loud and having dance parties. Hope that helps!
