To: David Dillon & Steve Burd, CEO of Kroger, CEO of Safeway
Sign to oppose Credit Card Usage penalty fees at Krogers & Safeway
Biz Journals & newspapers have recently written that Kroger, the largest pure grocery chain in the country, and Safeway,
are both considering charging customers either a penalty fee, generally higher grocery prices, or limiting their access to advertised specials, for the "privilege" of using a credit card at check out.
During these tough economic times, there are people forced to use their credit cards for survival. They don't need any extra burdens. Nor does anyone else. They are doing this very quietly, apparently realizing that public knowledge of their plan BEFORE it happens, would likely kill it.
Please sign the petition telling Kroger & Safeway that we customers will be looking elsewhere for groceries if they decide to enact this.
