Incident Statement - King Soopers…read more Date: December 30, 2025 Time: Approximately 22:48-22:50 (10:48-10:50 PM) Location: King Soopers (store location unspecified) On December 30, 2025, at approximately 22:48 PM, I entered a King Soopers store during normal business hours. The store's posted closing time is 11:00 PM. I entered the store to purchase a small number of items, specifically organic bananas and peanut butter. As I was walking inside the store, a female employee attempted to speak to me. At first, I believed she was speaking to someone else, so I continued walking to the right to pick up organic bananas. After I picked up the bananas, I noticed she was still attempting to talk to me. I removed my headphone so I could hear her clearly. The employee stated that the store was closed. I responded by explaining that the store was not closed, that it was approximately 22:50, and that I had entered the store before closing time. I also noted that the store closes at 11:00 PM. The employee replied that the store had to close at that time so employees could get out on time. I asked how that was my responsibility and stated that employees choose their jobs, and if someone dislikes their job, they should seek other employment. The employee responded that she loved her job. I replied that her tone, raised voice, and confrontational manner toward me did not reflect someone who loved their job. As I walked toward the peanut butter aisle, the employee again stated that the store was closed and that I could not get peanut butter. Instead of attempting to de-escalate the situation, she involved a security guard. The security guard handled the situation professionally and respectfully. He assisted me in locating the peanut butter and helped ensure that I was able to complete my purchase and exit the store without further issue. I completed my entire purchase transaction and exited the store before the store's posted closing time of 11:00 PM. At no point did I remain in the store after closing. If the store intends to stop serving customers at approximately 22:50, then the posted business hours should reflect that policy clearly and accurately. While I was leaving the store, I overheard the employee speaking sarcastically to the security guard about how I was "going to call corporate." I confirmed that I intended to contact corporate because I felt the employee had been rude, confrontational, and unprofessional. I also stated that I was unsure whether King Soopers wanted my business, as I had only entered the store to purchase bananas and peanut butter. This interaction was distressing, particularly given that I was purchasing food to maintain my health and avoid passing out after using a sauna. I believe I was treated unfairly and subjected to hostile behavior, which I perceive as discriminatory. I am seeking accountability and clarification regarding King Soopers' policies and employee conduct, as well as recognition of the impact this incident had on me as a customer.

I've been shopping at this King Soopers since 2006, and let me tell you--it's been a slow-motion…read moretrain wreck ever since the pandemic. Today might've been the final straw. Yes, I understand supply chain issues exist. Tariffs, inflation, the economy--sure. But this location seems to treat "out of stock" like a competitive sport. I walk in with a modest list of 10 everyday items, and I'm lucky if I leave with 8. And we're not talking about exotic spices or rare produce--just basic stuff. It's like playing grocery bingo, and I never win at this particular store. Navigating the aisles is a full-contact sport. Employees are constantly stocking shelves during peak hours, and they seem to believe that "excuse me" is a foreign phrase. I've done less dodging in a game of dodgeball. Prices keep climbing, which would be easier to swallow if the store wasn't celebrating record profits in shareholder meetings. Meanwhile, the customer experience is circling the drain. And now--security theater! Two guards posted like statues at the entrance. I get it, shoplifting is up. But what exactly are they guarding? The empty shelves? Their presence feels more like a deterrent to joy than theft. The checkout process is a masterclass in redundancy. I use self-checkout, and yet I still get a mini audit from the attendant who reviews the video footage like I'm on trial. Then, with my arms full, I have to show my receipt to the security guards who just watched me check out. Pick one, folks. Either trust the tech or trust the guards--but don't make me feel like I'm escaping Alcatraz with a bag of spinach. Also, a note to staff: calling customers "hon" in a condescending tone doesn't soften the blow of poor service. It's not charming--it's patronizing. Some of the long-time employees who used to be great have clearly given up, and honestly, I don't blame them. The vibe in this store is "low morale meets bad management." I've visited other King Soopers locations within a 10-mile radius, and none of them have this level of chaos. Fewer empty shelves, fewer stocking blockades, actual open checkstands, and--imagine this--employees who seem like they don't hate being there. This store needs a serious reset. Until then, I'll be shopping elsewhere. Preferably somewhere that doesn't feel like a scavenger hunt crossed with a TSA checkpoint.

I am super satisfied though I wish natural grocers was on the east coast. Everything was organized well and the store was clean and neat. There is a small check out area with one cashier. There was no rush and the store provided boxes for customers to use to carry home their goods.

The store is small enough that it's easy to find what you are looking for and it's easy to pop in and out with some quick healthy options before venturing into the mountains or heading to your hotel. The hours are listed outside so be mindful that they don't open super early, so if you have a later start to your day this is a way better experience than the King Soopers or Walmart in the area.

I was helped out a ton by Nicholas during my first time ever being in Natural grocers since I…read morerecently moved to this part of the country. He was warm and friendly and even helped me out with setting up a rewards account. I'm happy to come back and shop here. Produce is fresh, the items are health conscious, and the prices are great. They even have a section where you can get homemade natural grocer energy balls! I got about 33 items for $165. So on average that's $5 per item. Amazing!

I used to come here all the time, and after being gone for seven years, it still hits just as hard and the service is good.

The store looks AMAZING now!!!! Fresh produce, fresh everything, a fully upgraded kitchen, and more space to sit and eat. It's the perfect spot for lunch, dinner, grocery shopping, and even grabbing essentials in one stop. If you're craving real Mexican food, stop playing and come here.

The store lacked a lot of options for snacks, the chip aisle was loaded with boxes and vendors stocking stuff in the middle of the day, and to top it off, the management was pretty blunt with us like we ruined his day stocking vegetables. At least they have a solid meat section, shame it is just too far from the Mausoleum.

And with my recent visit these are the two fools are the reason I'm writing this review. I founded them to be very rude and when I came to my mom scanning her food items. Treating her like she trying to steal, but she wasn't and didn't like how she scanned her items and putting them in bags. Like my mom scanned one pineapple first then proceeded with other she just didn't forgot to scan the second pineapple that we picked and was bit on her ass about it. Though she did soon scan soon when that came to her attention her attention. That added a lay these two employees I felt this bad energy coming from these people exchanging serious glances. Plus it's not like these people get paid enough their job is not that important In fact my mom has been going through a rough time and lots of stress this summer losing her job along with is recovering from a deadly blood cancer diagnosis With getting back into shopping stores can be a bit stressful and hectic, especially when she's have been in a hospital bed for little over year ago. My mom and I really didn't feel great after the visit.

It's nothing special, but I always find what I'm looking for and even things I'm not that I end up buying anyway. The store is usually pretty clean, and the employees are friendly. The last few times I've been, it's looked like it was busy outside, and even inside through the aisles, but upon going to the check out, it only took about 5 minutes to check out, so there's that. Also, a huge pro to this (and many other) King's is the Sooper card that saves a ton of money on gas if the location has a gas station attached as this one does. Literally comes in so clutch. Anyway, this King's is fine, I recommend :)
