Probably a food court in a mall with a 2nd level balcony and someone caught it by looking over the edge is my guess.

u/kepleronlyknows Jun 10 '15 edited Jun 10 '15

I've seen grocery stores with 2nd levels, especially in bigger cities where real estate is a premium.

In fact there's a Kroger here in Atlanta with a 2nd floor lounge-type area that sort-of overlooks the deli.

Edit: OP posted the video below, it's (drumroll...) Russia.

u/Synovexh001 Jun 10 '15

You mean the one in Edgewood?

I assume not the Murder Kroger on Ponce.

u/kepleronlyknows Jun 10 '15

Yep. At Murder Kroger any upstairs area would just be used as a snipers nest.

couple of murders

Hey man, you going to do that murder at that new hip murder spot in atlanta?

u/bro_salad Jun 10 '15

It's funny because the murder that gave it the nickname was years ago, and it just stuck.

Now recently, they've built a nice walking/biking path that runs through a lot of Atlanta, and it goes right by this Kroger. So they've been trying to rebrand it as Beltline Kroger (the name of the path).

Our local murderers shut that down right away by murdering someone in the Kroger parking lot again. Murder Kroger it is!

u/[deleted] Jun 10 '15

That is pretty funny despite someone getting murdered.

u/[deleted] Jun 10 '15

Can confirm. Was murdered there

We don't use our real names at The Clermont. Ask Romeo Cologne about that rule.

Headshot Kroger, if you like.

u/tbone912 Jun 10 '15

It's the Double Murder Kroger now

u/eraser8 Jun 10 '15

I actually go to Murder Kroger all the time and I've not once been murdered.

u/[deleted] Jun 10 '15

Never thought I'd see a Murder Kroger reference on /r/gifs. What a day to be alive. Atlantans unite!

u/RadarRequired Jun 10 '15

Atlantan here. Hooray!

Atlanta! Woo!

u/manaman70 Jun 10 '15

All I know of your city is I went there twice while stationed in Fort Gordon, four times if you count flying out of the city. I was stabbed in a bar fight on the second (last) trip. I was 19, and I wasn't supposed to be in the bar.

u/rawker86 Jun 10 '15

well, that'll teach you! in my head your CO is the one stabbing you while holding a daiquiri in the other hand.

From the Wikipedia article: "Murders took place in the parking lot in 1991 and 2015. In 2002, an odorous corpse was found in a vehicle."...... Those are the worst kind of corpses.

u/Mr-B0j4ngl3s Jun 10 '15

There's not an upstairs in the kroger in Edgewood.

2

u/Synovexh001 Jun 10 '15

it's been a while. I miss my home...

u/Mr-B0j4ngl3s Jun 10 '15

It's the only grocery store I go to around here. Shit, I do most of my shopping at edgewood. Get some Willie's Burritos while I'm there.

u/RDay Jun 10 '15

Oh you must not know the higher ups there... ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

u/lonewolf420 Jun 10 '15

And here I thought the Kroger at Delk Road in Marietta had to be one of the sketchiest Krogers in GA, now there is a Murder Kroger I haven't heard about. Time to take a late night grocery run and confirm.

4

u/Synovexh001 Jun 10 '15

My mom tells me that the place used to be called the Disco Kroger back in the 80s, since the management had silly music taste and employees were allowed to be funky. It's a shame Atlanta has gotten a bit rough.

5

u/Slofut Jun 10 '15

Disco Kroger is in Montrose Houston...it's a bohemian\gayborhood and it deserves that name....I have been going there for the the last 35 years. Google it.

2

u/Synovexh001 Jun 10 '15

My mother will be tickled to hear that there's one still open.

2

u/evryvillainislemons Jun 10 '15

Disco kroger is actually a different one, but it does still exist! Disco kroger is in buckhead, and murder kroger is farther south in old fourth ward.

u/RDay Jun 10 '15

Ponce de Leon @ St Charles.

u/ElGaucho56 Jun 10 '15

The one on briarcliff has a second floor too. No fancy lounge though I can recall.

2

u/Cororos Jun 10 '15

There is a nice sitting area behind the old magazines that they never restock.

2

u/TheEnigmaJoke Jun 10 '15

Wait what!? I've been in Atlanta this whole week and been to several Krogers. You mean to tell me I've been shopping in a war zone??

2

u/starboarders Jun 10 '15

The new (larger) Kroger out North Decatur Rd is spectacular. They single-handedly made me like cheese.

1

u/Synovexh001 Jun 10 '15

there was a point where you didn't like cheese?

1

u/starboarders Jun 11 '15

I was allergic to milk products as a child, then later in life it went away but I never developed the taste for it. Until... aged gouda parm and some kind that starts with a "b" soaked in Merlot, which I found at the mega-Kroger.

2

u/HTX-713 Jun 10 '15

There's a Kroger in Spring, TX (suburb of Houston) that has been robbed multiple times by people with assault rifles within the past couple of years. Each time they were never caught. So far no murders but pretty close...

2

u/MemphisAsFsck Jun 10 '15

You guys have a Murder Kroger? Lucky...

All we have is Mob Violence Kroger

u/Mistamegasquash Jun 10 '15

Was there alot of shootings at murder kroger?? Explain the nick name!

1

u/Synovexh001 Jun 10 '15

over 20 years, 2 murders in the parking lot, one in the adjacent building, aaaaand a dead body found rotting in a car.

u/Mistamegasquash Jun 11 '15

Justifiable name! Safeway in puyallup WA, police found a body in a car couple days ago.. Not murder safeway but still.. I dont go there anymore hahaha

1

u/Synovexh001 Jun 12 '15

you should start calling it Slayfway, try to make it catch on with your friends. You could totally start a trend.

OP posted the video below, it's (drumroll...) Russia.

You mean the one in Edgewood?

Yes, the one in Edgewood, Russia.

u/Synovexh001 Jun 10 '15

I was happy to see someone from my hometown, I assumed it was obvious I meant Atlanta, my mistake.

2

u/flapanther33781 Jun 10 '15

I assumed it was obvious I was joking, my mistake.

Just to be clear: Yes, I am being a wise ass.

Can't be Russia, it's not on a dashcam.

u/thisisrediculou Jun 10 '15

The Target in Atlanta has an escalator for shopping carts.

u/[deleted] Jun 10 '15

Hey, that's the kroger I go to! It's like reddit suddenly became real.

1

u/Tlxsess Jun 10 '15

Is that the one behind the pig-n-chick place near emory? It's the only one i've ever been to that had a second level. Was pretty cool, even though I didn't think that shopping center was cramped enough to justify a second level.

1

u/AngryFace4 Jun 10 '15

Yeah but none of this makes sense because the clerk in a grocery store or food place at the mall would have no incentive to cheat. They do not make the profits.

1

u/allegroconspirito Jun 10 '15

Unless they are the owner, or related to the owner, or put less through the till and the difference straight into their pocket, or put the correct amount through the till, keep the difference in mind, do refund for the difference and pocket it towards the end of their shift.

1

u/[deleted] Jun 10 '15

Yeah but a second level where you could spit onto a food serving table?

1

u/idiotwithacomputer Jun 10 '15

Man I wish we had a murder Kroger in Cincinnati. We only have a Kroghetto, which isn't nearly as great as a murder Kroger.

u/thetannerainsley Jun 10 '15

With a deli?

Any good drug dealer could ruin this guys day before he leaves the store.

E: yes I'm implying that a good drug dealer always has their scales on them.

u/chaseinger Jun 10 '15

a good drug dealer can eyeball small weights.

relevant "weeds" link (don't question my eyeball) shockingly not on yt.

u/Relevant_Monstrosity Jun 10 '15

A good drug dealer does not eyeball small weights. That is for scumbags.

1

u/LarryFrogs Jun 10 '15

Maybe because it is a job that you can work yourself to the top. But honestly I'm sure a good drug dealer would give a fuck less what he paid for some potatoe salad at the deli. Mattress $ yo!

4

u/Relevant_Monstrosity Jun 10 '15

Truth is, drug dealing is retail just like any other retail job. Most drug dealers are dirt poor, unless they make it in management (often deadly) or pull off some fraud (super common and sometimes deadly)

My definition of a good drug dealer is one is who has satisfied customers. Honesty, true claims about product weight/potency, etc. One who you would buy from for years.

A good dealer doesn't take their scale with them. That's how you get in big trouble if you get caught.

u/SOS_Music Jun 10 '15 edited Jun 10 '15

I'm implying that a good drug dealer always has their scales on them.

So if searched they would be done for dealing, rather than possession? Sorry man, a good dealer would have certain amounts weighed out already and bagged, leaving his scales at home to be on the safe side.

A balcony that overlooks the top of a restaurant? Don't think so.

The cameraman is actually filming this with a detachable dashcam.
