Not sure which it is. Could be that they got caught with the BLM charge, and switched it to the "Change Shortage" one, which will go into the BLM fund. Who the hell knows any more when everyone LIES.
Kroger responds to viral picture showing coinage fee
Kroger is now responding to a Facebook post where a woman says that she was charged $0.38 for a coin shortage fee – even though she paid with a credit card.
Kroger recently made the decision to not return customers' change due to a coin shortage, instead offering them the option to donate that money to charity or have it applied to their loyalty cards.
Officials with Kroger say the charge was a mistake, as the policy is still new.
"It is not a fee; we're not charging anything,” Eric Halvorson said, a Kroger Spokesperson. “This is just adapting to the shortage of coins in the system and we're trying to be as creative as we can to help work through this."
If you do not want to lose any change, it is recommended that you pay with a credit or debit card at Kroger.

Then there is this
The nation’s largest supermarket operator, The Kroger Co., announced that it’s creating a $5 million fund through The Kroger Co. Foundation to improve social diversity, equity and inclusion.
“Our commitment to help and support now is critical, as so many of our associates, families, friends, customers and communities are hurting, frustrated and angry. The senseless killings of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery and so many more — too many more — across our country have shaken us to our core. We share in feelings of sadness, fear and outrage. We must use our voice to express that we are against racism and injustice against the black community. We can and we must do better as a company, community and company to become a greater part of the solution,” Kroger Chairman and CEO Rodney McMullen said in a video on the company’s Facebook and Twitter sites.
“We believe the most important next step is to listen. We are creating more opportunities for our associates to openly share their thoughts, feelings and experiences with discrimination and for our company and leaders to more deeply and deliberately listen,” he explained. “We encourage our leaders to listen to your teams, peers, friends and family. We will continue to educate and show our leaders and associates how to be stronger allies, to be more empathetic, supportive and aware of our own unconscious bias so that together we can build a better, more inclusive Kroger.”
