      The nature of this dispute is Kroger Co. treating SNAP customers differently than what their company policy of a commitment to equity has stated.

      Fry’s Food Stores has a brand promise, “Fresh For Everyone,” communicating their commitment to providing customers with access to healthy affordable food. Their 2022 ESG report states, “Kroger serves millions of customers every day with low prices, special promotions and personalized offers to help stretch budgets and make cooking at home more affordable.” Kroger Co. has a Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion framework that demonstrates a social awareness of the need to work against barriers to equal opportunity.

      What this business has committed to provide their customers is equal access to safe, quality food.
      My complaint is that the company policy for Fry’s Food Stores of not accepting SNAP for payment of groceries to be delivered is not consistent with their commitment to equal access for everyone.

      Some people in poverty have discovered that it is a much lower cost for them to pay $10.81 per month for an Instacart membership to have food delivered than it is for them to pay the cost of gas, car repair, bicycle repair, public transportation fare, or other transportation costs. Fry’s Food Stores does not accept SNAP for purchasing groceries online for delivery directly from their website or through Instacart.

      The rest of the complaint is enclosed an attachment in a one page document stating examples of customer experience that demonstrate the need for this requested change in company policy to accept SNAP for groceries to be delivered.

      Better Business Bureau:



      I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ** ********, and have determined that this does not resolve my complaint.  For your reference, reasons for rejection are included below.

      Kroger Co. has not addressed the issues of this dispute that their customer service regularly refuses to make refunds for errors in overcharging and instead gives store credits which means the customer loses their choice of where to spend their money.

      Kroger Company's stores Safeway and Albertson's accept SNAP for delivery orders on Instacart, but Fry's Food Stores does not.  Fry's Food Stores have WAY MORE customers who pay with SNAP than *********** or S******* because of Fry's lower prices.

      It appears that Kroger Co. does not accept SNAP for delivery orders from Fry's (on Instacart or on the Fry's website) in order to make SNAP customers have to visit Fry's to do their shopping inside the store or to drive, take the bus, walk, or ride their bike to pickup their online order in person.

      As per federal guidelines for grocers, SNAP customers must be treated the same as customers who pay with credit card (see attachment of letter from USDA).  This means if a store has a policy of allowing groceries to be purchased for delivery, they cannot exclude SNAP customers from this option.  Although the letter is the answer to a question about refunds, the federal guideline is communicated as, "SNAP customers must be treated the same way as any other customer." 

      This is not an issue about inconvenience. This is an issue of equitable access for a vulnerable population of people in poverty with transportation and mobility barriers to food. Instacart makes their service very affordable for SNAP customers, with $2 off the service fee if you choose the option of a 3 hour delivery window for not as soon.  Fry's markets to people in poverty with "prices that are lower than low."

      I placed an order for grocery pickup on the web site on 1/21/2023. The total amount was about $48. This was received. However I found in my credit card account another charge of about $75, supposedly for delivery to me. This order was fraudulent. I never placed such an order and it was never delivered to me.
      I stopped payment on the credit card charges, and notified the business of the problem. I thought this would resolve the issue. Now King Soopers has created a new charge of $123.37 and attempted to charge it to my credit card. I have had this fraudulent charge reversed by my credit card company.
      I paid $40 for a service which provides delivery of orders with no delivery charge. When I attempted to use this on 2/8/2023 it was rejected. I called King Soopers customer service and was told it was cancelled because I owed the $123.37. These additional charges of $75 and $123.37 are completely fraudulent. I have had nothing to do with them and never received any benefit from them. In addition to that I have lost access to the service I paid $40 for. The charge for $78 must have been done by a dishonest employee. Instead of investigating that King Soopers management have chosen to attempt to bully me into paying for fraudulent charges. I want this stopped and King Soopers to stop all harassment of me and not claim any funds they are not entitled to.

      Problem:
      There were two fraudulent charges placed against my credit card by the King Soopers store in ******** **, which is a subsidiary of Kroger. I previously made a complaint which had the ID ********. You closed this complaint on February 23 after the Kroger company agreed to 'look into the situation.' I said this was acceptable, but I never indicated that I was satisfied that the complaint had been resolved. The Kroger Company has not contacted me, and I doubt very much that they are going to do anything. I have not had success with the US Bank which issued the credit card, and have ended any relationship with them as well as King Soopers. King Soopers and the bank are trying to enforce an entry fraudulently entered against my credit card for $123.37 on January 31. I knew nothing about this charge until it appeared on my account statement, and I have received no merchandise or other value associated with this entry. I have attached a letter to the bank which completely explains the situation and the failure of any of the three businesses to take any action to resolve the issue.


      Desired Resolution:

      I reached out to *** ****** *****, Complaint ID: ******** by phone to further assist with his concern. The customer received a refund of $123.37 from his bank on January 31st. The customer sent a letter to the Kroger Privacy department on March 9th to update Kroger on the matter. 

       

      I explained to *** *****, a new letter will need to be sent to ****************************** for review. The customer will receive a response in 3 to 5 days.

No no one seems to be able to find it They can’t explain why . charge that fry’s is unable to locate. I have contacted fry’s numerous times over the last four days and no one seems to be able to find the charge. I am furious. Everyone seems to just not care that I have a charge on my debit card. No one seems to be able to find it. I’m being told that it possibly a hold and it will fall off in 5 to 7 days. It’s easy for them to say it will fall off.

      I placed a delivery order with Kroger on 1/23/23. The order never came, I was messaging the delivery driver as I thought maybe she was in an accident. Finally I contacted Kroger customer service and he said it had been delivered so it must have gone to the wrong address. The amount I was charged was $85.07. I was told they would issue a refund back to the card. I was told it could take up to 10 business days to get my refund (maybe in a 3rd world country, no way it takes 10 business days to refund). You take the money from my account as soon as the order is placed! I waited 10 business days and called back. The supervisor said she was going to do ‘something different’ that would expedite the refund. That call was on 2/6 and it is now 2/8. Nothing in my account. It has now been 16 days since my order was lost and still no refund. Needless to say I am so disappointed in Kroger and will not recommend them to anyone!

      I ordered groceries from the app. The order had to be canceled from instacart to re order from a different store. Kroger took the only money I have to feed my family off of my card when they were not supposed to. They claimed to issue a refund but that would take 24 hours so they gave me a $75.00 credit to order in the men time. But they locked my account and will not help to unlock it so the $75.00. Credit dose us no good. I have been treated disrespectfully by every single representative I had to encounter over the last 27 hours and have not been able to eat at all because kroger took all the money I have and is not refunding it and they absolutely will not help with unlocking my account so I can feed my family! Again we have not had food to eat in over 27 hours now and still can't eat because we still have not gotton our money back nor will ANYONE from kroger customer service hp at all. Me and my family have had to endure extreme mental anguish and suffer from hunger as a direct result of mistakes by kroger and still unwilling to make it right.

      On Sunday January 29th, 2023 I made an order for grocery delivery from Kroger, ***** **********, ******** to be delivered to my son. Order # *******************. The order was never delivered correctly. $180 worth of groceries was ordered and about $30.00 was delivered by *********. We immediately called Kroger to explain we had the wrong order. The manager would do nothing and said it was an ********* issue. We immediately called ********* and asked to get the correct order. They would not help and offered a refund. I have spoke with numerous people and Kroger and *********. Noone will take responsibility and today February 8th I STILL have NOT received my refund!!! $132.43 should have NEVER been taken from my account and there is absolutely NO REASON I should still be waiting to get my money. This is a KROGER and ********* issue. NOT MINE. This is HORRIBLE customer service.

      I have been told on now 5 different occasions starting on January 29th that I would receive my refund in 5 to 7 business days. The money should have never been deducted from my account since Kroger cancelled my order on January 29th and the funds were not taken until January 30th. They have now held my money for 19 days and that is absolutely unacceptable. 

      Kroger is 100% at fault here yet they continue to make excuses with each phone call and email to the point of not responding to a timely manner to the BBB complaint.

      On January 22, 2023 I ordered groceries from Kroger.com, for delivery (total was $212.36). The groceries were never delivered. I sat on hold with a chat agent for sometime (around 45 minutes). She was working with Instacart (their hired third party delivery) to find out where my groceries were. Upon determining that they were not delivered to me but perhaps elsewhere by mistake, she assured me they would refund my money and I would have it within 5-7 days.
      Insert the following Friday, I have nothing. No refund pending, no refund issued. I called Kroger again on 02/28/23 only to be told that the refund was not processed they would "re-issue" (not sure how you can re-issue something that wasn't issued to start with) and I needed to wait another 3-5 business days.
      I called again on 02/01/23 to inquire about the status of the refund only to be told there was an issue sending the refund to the bank. They "assured" me again that it was processed and I would see it 02/02/2023. Thursday came and no refund. I called them again, only to be issued another case number, told they were processing it, and I would see it on 02/03/23. 2/3/23 same story. 02/04/23 I called, was told I needed to contact instacart, when I asked why the customer service supervisor hung up on me. I contacted Instacart, who had ABSOLUTELY no reason to help me and was informed that because they didn't take the money out of my account they could not help with the refund. I called Kroger back and was on hold for about 2 hours before I spoke to yet another agent who took time to dig into it and told me that the accounting department put an expedite on the refund and I would guaranteed have it 02/06/23. 02/06/23, no refund. I called again, sat on hold for over an hour, got hung up on and then was told I had to wait another 3-5 business days. I have been given three case numbers and according to the agent yesterday, every time I follow up, they move my case to the bottom of the list and my refund is delayed.

      As we were putting away the groceries there was a notification that our credit card was charge “$7,207.68”. On that order I was charged “$6992.55” for 2 Jalapeno Peppers.

      We called and talked to the Click List & Store Supervisor. They put in calls but could not correct the charge.

      I called Kroger Corporate after a couple of calls I finally got an email: “ I’ve submitted a refund request for your order amounting to $6989.57 which may take up to 7-10 business days to return to your bank account. “

      We still have not received this refund.

      1/24/23 I placed an online grocery order with Kroger/*********, the next day my husband noticed an additional purchase in the amount of $92.60 that had been rolled into the original bill of $269.01 which increased the amount of my purchase to $361.61. The receipt showed that I was charged for 25 items that I never received including Tuna that I am highly allergic to. I contacted the the ************ Kroger the manager whom I spoke with stated they don’t have access to any ********* transactions even though they are partnered together. I then contacted ********* ( I was polite yet firm with my inquiry) as my questions became more detailed the ********* Customer Service Rep could no longer dodge my questions or provide me with a logical answer they hung up on me. Twice! I again contacted Kroger this time speaking with CSR manager Tish who recorded all the products I was charged for but never received she gave me the figure of $75.01 which is $17.59 short of the $92.60 I was charged. I was provided with a case number of ******** and was told it would be 5-7 days for a refund. It’s now been 13 days and no refund. I’ve made the decision that if don’t receive my refund within the next few days I’ll contact the local news stations for results.

        I did receive a partial refund of $75.01, but have yet to receive the $17.59 that would total the amount of $92.60 originally taken. I am not aware or have been notified of any credit applied to my loyalty card. Until I receive the full $92.60 the issue is still open.

      Simply put this is a case of THEFT!  I will not accept anything other than a full reimbursement, it’s unbelievable that a billion dollar company is hesitating refunding my $17.69. Your partnership with ********* is questionable at best, have you taken the time to read reviews from other customers who have had money taken from them as well? I doubt it! It’s all about the money and the hell with the customers.
