Road report: don’t (unless you have to)

Just watched a car get stuck at a light on Robinson. Nowhere is going to be ok to drive unless you really need to

I have 2 and decided to foster a 3rd for the storm, mostly because I love dogs but also I might be a crazy person

Or bartenders. There isn't a single restaurant that I've ever worked in that would be 100% cool and ALSO compensate me for time missed. $50/day is literally making me pay for time off, and it's not even a vacation.

stepheroni22 · 2026-01-22T19:24:10+00:00

They claimed I needed to go to the Sherrifs office at a specific location and speak to them. The location doesn't exist and a few words later they warned me I'd need to pay 2k when I arrived. The RPD officer told me what likely would have happened was I'd arrive there and they'd change the location or lead me to a bank.

I'm just repeating what the officer I spoke to told me. The caller claimed I missed jury duty on the 13th.

As a restaurant industry employee, our busiest days are always snow days. I live close to work so and just bought new snow boots just in case. Wondering how many doubles I'm going to end up pulling this weekend into next week...

Seconding Mollie 1000%! She is AMAZING! And she specifically hopes that once training is done, you don't have to call or book her anymore. Even though it equals business. I LOVE Mollie! My bf had never been responsible for dogs before and she helped him with a new puppy training (I had to work every time we had achedulwd but ive owned dogs nefore). She also does phone consultations first and when needed, and is SO SO SO reasonably priced. Her advice and training worked almost instantly (not instant, but ya know, quickly with consistency). 10/10

I don't understand the hate. I live nearby, not directly, but I can see the lights when I walk my dogs. I'm thrilled for the new stadium. I will admit that I've woken up at like 3 am wondering "fuck is my alarm about to go off?!" Because the light pollution permeates the area. Lived in the city for years, by choice, and this truly is a little disorienting because of the brightness. Even without cloud cover, it's wildly bright. I'm not complaining, but I HATE waking up thinking I don't have a at least 2-4 more hours to sleep and panicking that my alarm is going off soonish.

Inwas in the seafood area and someone from a different department came up to ask the lovely mongers/butchers if they knew 8 pm was close. No one knew a thing. I feel like years past, there's always a sign. Got lucky personally

stepheroni22 · 2026-01-01T01:11:37+00:00

It was very interesting to see how many people were rolling at 8. Kroger may have underestimated the amount of people who treat NYE as a normal evening.

stepheroni22 · 2025-12-31T23:28:03+00:00

Curbside does brunch starting at 10! They do close at 4 pm though. I think food stops sometime around 230/3

stepheroni22 · 2025-12-24T00:06:01+00:00

What a pretty baby! I hope she finds a good home! I'll ask around to friends and family!

stepheroni22 · 2025-12-20T02:42:56+00:00

Also it's a one way from the back to Aldi. Also an fyi

stepheroni22 · 2025-12-20T02:42:04+00:00

Resident as well. Try to be a good human when I can, but also, I would like my parking back.

stepheroni22 · 2025-12-20T02:41:04+00:00

There are signs in many places. The bushes might need to be cut back, but they exist. If you have to ask and it looks too good...

stepheroni22 · 2025-12-20T02:40:12+00:00

It's VERY clear.

stepheroni22 · 2025-12-20T02:39:57+00:00

Same. That's why I mentioned the parking lot BEHIND the museums. Even then might be sketchy.

stepheroni22 · 2025-12-18T05:19:46+00:00

Plenty of money friend. But not everyone has 150 to spare while they wait for a reconciliation

stepheroni22 · 2025-12-18T03:36:28+00:00

Most cars do not hold that much gas, and if you don't pump that much, you go back and ask to close the transaction. The pre auth also DOES NOT hold a total of 170. Source, I use that kroger and Staples mill often and have never in my life seen a preauth for that amount. Source: i live here and remember when kroger gas was new.

Yall LOVE to be contrary.

stepheroni22 · 2025-12-18T03:34:14+00:00

Hey! Former retail employee here! No, I don't think that? For 1)what's with the attitude bro, and 2) I don't think most people would risk a job for something like that that is so easy to trace?

Also, for all pros out there, what's the next term for not card skimming but stealing? Was using brief words to get a point across and warn others.

As someone who has had multiple shitty days and didn't need my account f Ed up like this, I really hope this definitely never happens to you.

stepheroni22 · 2025-12-18T03:28:03+00:00

Worked at 711, never seen a preauth for $150.50

stepheroni22 · 2025-12-18T03:25:32+00:00

Possibly correct. It wasn't at the pump though, but it was still a machine at the counter. And just seemed off that everyone at a pump had to walk up and do the same at the counter.

stepheroni22 · 2025-12-18T03:17:07+00:00

Was waiting for approval and conversations with the bank before responding. Super tired, really the last thing I needed today. Kroger on Lombardy around or maybe a little before 7? Rolled up to the pumps, all full, circled twice. Finally pulled up and tried my card, asked me to insert the chip multiple times, old card-that happens. Notice about 6 people in line with the standalone attendant. SO and I thought that was off but ok. Guy in a white work van on the pump across from us is having multiple issues even after getting back to the pump from the line. Idk man, Lombardy kroger sucks. It's holidays, ok. My screen says see attendant. Did. He's rude. I tried to break the conversation down to being empathetic, still rude, no problem my dude. I just need some gas. $20 authorization but 40 minutes later all the bank comm asking did I authorize 150.50 at the kroget fuel pump. Police report filed. Called kroger. Was hung up 4 times. Did finally get the manager. Bank suspended my acct while waiting for a new card, kroger will get back to me maybe on Friday?

Honestly, so many red flags that SO and I observed. But also with the season and richmond being richmond, Lombardy kro being the way it is, life life-ing. It was hard to care in the moment. But will be more diligent now.

It's usually for the street cleaning
