Techno. My understanding of that 'position' IS that it is sorta NOT Kroger, but some contractor? and as such, it is a dead end. It is some contracted security firm I believe, not Kroger directly if I understand it correctly. Just the 'uniform' doesn't say Security on it, but IT IS LOSS PREVENTION, which IS Security. Believe me, Kroger nor any food store would hire a 'greeter' just to be friendly!! It is loss prevention and as such is security and I believe they hire through a 'dummy' office that is a branch of some security firm..not sure, but it seems that way.
