    Glad to hear there's at least one chain they didnt screw up .
    Here in Omaha bakers was the cream of the crop when it was family owned with about 20 stores .
    They're probably half that now and the last place I'd shop .
     
    Chinatown Thanks this.

    I think so it's off depot st or ave next to a steel place so you have reffers and flatbed the flat bed that company at least has like 2 guys blocking traffic to they can back into the doors. The dirt lots they have you wait at I dont think are even owned by kroger i dont know what they will do if someone builds on them their will be no where for more then three trucks to turnaround get loaded

    They have some of the most expensive lumpers on the planet in Phoenix.

    I've seen a dry van load go $400 in lumper fees.
