Atlanta Kroger Enclosed Aisles With Security Cage Only Allowing One Shopper at a time Outraging Customers

A metro Atlanta Kroger has installed a new security system that is making customers feel stereotyped while they shop. The “caged” aisles at the Kroger have only had one way in and one way out, keeping products like common household items behind a large glass partition.

“I think it’s kind of racist you definitely see that here on Old National,” a mother of three told CBS 46 when she was describing her experience shopping at a Kroger in South Fulton. Shoppers are outrage over a new security installation leaving them to feel stereotyped.

“You won’t see that in Fayetteville or maybe Cobb County anywhere, doubt it,” said the mother. The new security installation has only one entrance.

Many customers went on social media to voice their anger at what they claim feels like shopping in a prison just to buy simple products. CBS46 asked customers if they had heard of there being a theft problem at the store. “Yes I have, I have, yeah, quite a bit,” said a longtime Kroger shopper. Other shoppers told the news station people take items from shelves and use them in the bathroom without paying. However, they feel a less intimidating approach should be taken.

CBS46 spoke to the company who sent a statement reading:

“Thank you for reaching out to us. These changes are being implemented to help improve operational efficiencies, provide better inventory management and increase profitability. We take pride in keeping our shelves fully stocked with the items our customers want and need and we believe these changes, which are part of a pilot project, will help us do so.”
