RE:RE:Kroger and Watson To add to the intrigue, in our kroger they've gone from walking around the self check with a key pad the attendant leaves it at the desk and enters code at the station if I have too many discount items or some other failed entry, when I asked what's going on she told me that every entry was going back to hq real time now and any intervention other than the costumer raised flags at the main office. No other noticeably different experience. But I don't use the wifi.
