Jaudon started calling the employee vulgar names when she brought out her manager, according to a police affidavit obtained by WKRN. Jaudon then slapped the employee.

  1. I wanna get Amy Jaudon and that Scruggs lady from Wal Mart in a room and tell each the other said she was fat.

  2. The God-Fearing citizens of Rock Ridge seem to be a bit off their rockers.

  3. Wow. Who says shopping for groceries on Tuesday nights are boring in Tennessee?

  4. And minor editorial quibble: in Tennessee, it’s not “at a Kroger.” You say “at the Kroger.”

  5. Why does Kroger hate the constitution? I guess I won’t be shopping there anymore. Used to be the safest store in town, but now it will be the most dangerous.
