When I saw this in my headline I thought it was over-exaggerated. Yes I believed they stopped taking Visa (they are not happy with the fees) but I did not think they were thinking about bitcoin. And it is true they are not going to setup bitcoin overnight but there actually is a tweet conversation with Pompliano and a product manager from Kroger. And the product manager seems pretty positive to get hooked up with bitcoin lightening.
Only on twitter.
It makes sense for stores to take bitcoin and they would save 2-3% in fees from transactions. That adds up to a lot of money. The only problem is not enough people use bitcoin as this time but that could change by the day. And when it does you can save a lot on fees.
