Normally I page by the line number(CSR Airphone line X please) and some ppl who came from other stores use color. I dont know why they call it an "Airphone" since the brand is actually "AIPhone"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6815729.post-243393635193617192007-02-24T01:11:00.000-05:002007-02-24T01:11:00.000-05:00I worked at Kroger when I was in high school.

If you needed to talk to someone else anywhere in the store, you'd just page "so-and-so red line, please" and then switch yourself to that line. They'd pick up and voila, you're connected.Tylerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18060666024976694087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6815729.post-1150473646457136702006-06-16T12:00:00.000-04:002006-06-16T12:00:00.000-04:00Take a look at the prepackaged meat...it may be 10...Take a look at the prepackaged meat...it may be 10-15% cheaper, but the label says it contains 10-15% water solution. This water solution supposedly increases the shelf life from 3 days (for butcher meat) to two weeks!

Ah well. This is a great example of the problems you run into when you don't keep an extra person around. It's fine to run lean & efficient, but if someone steps out for a smoke or to take a dump, the whole thing comes apart.Larry Kollarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08317037795075278427noreply@blogger.com
