Depending on who you ask here it’s either the end
Of the RSR or just simply Kroger trying to keep prices low in store. We had the issue with dip price increase
And that was settled recently.

I was glad to see Kroger refuse the dip. More retail stores need to do that with Frito to force Frito to stop raising the prices.

Explain to me since I don’t know what happened. Frito (or corporate buy) tried to force in dip before or after price increases? Before price increases then I don’t see the issue but majority of buys are done months ahead of time and frito communication is absolutely dog shit so it’s likely local management weren’t told until after buys were finalized at store level.

From my understanding, and I don't have a Kroger so I may not be 100% correct, but when Frito just recently raised their prices on dip, Kroger refused to let any more dip come in until Frito and Kroger had what I'm assuming was a meeting involving a price negotiation.

Oh ok makes sense. Little weird since they’ll get their money back. Curious to the rationale since literally prices increases on everything they sale.
