Kroeger Grocery Store Recruits Weebs


Noticed using Kroeger for the name throughout the article. Did autocorrect "fix" Kroger to Kroeger?

I boldly predict this is a fan art and Kroger will get someone in trouble for this...

Considering the service industry is currently in a mess in US with trying to not pay workers more, they really are trying to do EVERYTHING they can to entice people to just get in an interview.

Kroeger's [sic]

The name, Kroger, is literally on the sign the article is about.

Quote:
The location of this particular Kroeger's is not specified, though some replies to notsamwaterman's tweet suggest that the ad is from a store located in Bloomington, Indiana.


Author of reply tweet from which article picture is sourced:

WINTUS @imwinter22: "fort wayne, indiana!"

I mean, Bloomington is only 180 miles SW of Ft. Wayne. Close enough.

Corrected, I'd also say "thanks" but you're being pretty rude about the whole thing.

Kröger (the German name) is often written as Kroeger in English.

Why weebs though? They are video game characters of an internationally popular game series and even if they were some overly anime characters the audacity to say they're recruting weebs because of that. There may be more weebs than ever but they still are (or at least I hope they are) the minority (admitely loud minority) of anime/manga etc. fans.

Well,I kinda like that ad. I hope the person involved doesn't get into too much trouble. It seems really cute. Again,I like it.

A retro game store in Seattle had to change its name from Pink Godzilla to Pink Gorilla after Godzilla's owners found out. Some previous merchandise still exist. The store even did a post of Pinky G walking the neighborhood after a snowstorm(a foot) in 2008.
