Re: "Cheeseburger"

McDonald’s, BK and Wendy’s readily sell hamburgers here. JITB, Carl’s, Rally’s, etc. don’t. My McD’s and Wendy’s sell hamburgers for the same price as cheeseburgers. Not uncommon to see different pricing and products on the app. At my local Denny’s, you can order items at promotional pricing via th...

Re: Extra Mile Remodeling

Meanwhile, am-pm seems to be fading away in Arizona, most ARCO retailers here have gone to the generic “Food Mart” signage. I don’t know what is going on in SoCal with the am-pm operation. I suspect Marathon is tired of paying BP for licensing am-pm. AM PM claims to have 1,000 locations. I am shock...

Re: Self Check Outs

I see lots boxes on the salesfloor at Walmart that say RFID. Even towels and other strange items all have RFID. If they could just put RFID tags onto produce, then RFID checkout could work out. A number of their tags on certain soft goods have RFID already I believe. At some point the RFID signal i...

Re: NorCal Safeway- Some Bay Area Stores removing self checkout

The Save Mart and Lucky self Checkouts are absolutely the worst I have seen. They have weight sensors that always cause problems. The attendant has to come over and fix it. Often, there is no attendant and the cashier has to leave the register and walk over to the self Checkouts. It is easier to ju...

Re: Extra Mile Remodeling

Extra Mile is now a joint venture by Jackson's and Chevron. There are some good aspects that Jackson's brought to Extra Mile, but still Chevron seems to be dominant. Being bold and controversial might draw attention to Extra Mile, but ultimately customers are going to be turned off by this. The fir...

Re: Extra Mile Remodeling

Went to that Extra Mile with the new logo last night. They have a "grand reopening" going on. All hot/cold drinks are 99 cents + 1 free banana (ongoing Jacksons promotion) with any drink purchase. The fountain cups all say Jacksons. The coffee cups they had a couple sizes that said Extra M...

Re: Kohl's Earnings Surprise Crash and Burn

However, owning their own buildings means that they have a much lower threshold to break even. So even a slow store may be profitable. Plus who knows if they're getting incentives from the mall owner or city to stay open? I have noticed that Macy's has been very heavy on promotions the last couple ...

Re: Kohl's Earnings Surprise Crash and Burn

Dillard's sales continue to slide and their profit margins have taken a beating since COVID when they (and others) were able to sell more full price merchandise. I recently visited two of their stores in Ohio. Neither had any customers and one of them seemed to have literally no staffing in the hom...
