Area stores aren’t as well staffed as they once were, and there can be long lines even at self-checkout lanes in many stores. Kroger said several suburban stores in Flower Mound, Lantana and Southlake have a greater need for workers. The winter holidays aren’t just about toys and malls. The Thanksgiving through New Year’s Day season represents the busiest time of the year for food retailers, too.
Kroger started offering Daily Pay in March 2020 in the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic when grocers were also struggling to fill jobs. Retailers hired more people than usual to help fill in as staff members had to self-quarantine after coming in contact with other employees who tested positive.
