Today, I was approached by a Mormon. Not just any Mormon, mind you, but one cleverly disguised as a Kroger employee. I was so convinced that he was an employee, that when he offered to "help me", I told him he could have the cart back (I was loading groceries into my car in the Kroger parking lot).
To my credit, he was wearing what appeared to be a Kroger employee outfit - white button down shirt, black tie, black pants, and had a name tag on. Of course, after he started to get really friendly, I did a closer inspection of the nametag and realized that yes, it did have the LDS logo on it. Aha... friendly neighborhood Kroger employee he was not... mystery solved.
As an aside, I will not comment on my personal beliefs about the LDS religious sect, but instead will espouse how much I love the newly renovated Kroger at 11th and Shepard - reported by CultureMap as the largest Kroger in the city of Houston. I am still getting confused by the aisles, but they have put up a nice new placard that has a full menu of items, and where they are to be located. Even my husband (who, when he can't find an item on the list, claims that the grocery store was completely out of said item) would be able to successfully complete a grocery shopping trip. And the employees there, either imported from other Signature Kroger stores, or just turned over a new leaf due to their fab new store, ARE very friendly and helpful... so you can see how the confusion could occur.
Have a safe and fun Independance Day!
