Re: LATimes.com ranks french fries
The big "holy war" when it comes to burger chains (at least from where I see it) seems to be Californians with In 'N Out and Texans with Whataburger, and endless debates between the two about which is better. I'm rarely in Texas so it's been years since I've been to a Whataburger, but I do get to In...

Re: Winter Storm panic shopping
Just got another email that linked to this document (PDF) showing store hours for all the various QFC stores in the area. It looks like most are closing at 7pm and opening at 7am, with a few stores closing at 9pm. My sister in law went to the Totem Lake store in Kirkland today and reported that the ...

Re: Winter Storm panic shopping
I actually got a notification from the Downtown Bellevue QFC (where I used to shop when I lived there) that they were operating on 7am-7pm hours this past Saturday and Sunday. Normally that one is a 24 hour store.

Re: Target: Changing pricing on app when customers go in store
Target has updated their app to make it more clear when in-store prices differ from online prices:

Winter Storm panic shopping
As you may know there's been a series of major Winter storms in the Northwest for the past week, which is rather unusual for this part of the country. Naturally, this leads to a fair bit of "clean out the aisles" panic shopping at the grocery stores. Before one of the storms last week one of the loc...

Re: GGP Acquired By Brookfield Asset Management
From what I understand The Shops at The Bravern is owned by Ashkenazy Acquisition Corporation, but the current ownership is trying to sell the property. They've tried to make The Bravern a high-end shopping destination (anchored by Neiman-Marcus with Prada, Gucci, Hermes and a number of other luxury...

Re: Target: Changing pricing on app when customers go in store
This isn't the first time I've heard of this happening, and not the first store either (I've heard similar things about Best Buy, but in my experience online prices rarely differ from in-store prices there anyway.) The best solution seems to be to order online for in-store pickup on any items that y...

Re: Kroger Changes Strategy
It's entirely possible that there were supply problems as well, as at various times over the past few years there have been shortages resulting from weather conditions in lime growing regions. Wholesale costs of limes have also increased, and growers have even faced attacks from the Mexican cartels ...

Re: McDonald's loses Big Mac trademark in Europe
There's a thread on Reddit which explains in a bit more detail what happened here. Basically McDonald's screwed up big time by trademarking the name "Big Mac" for both products and restaurant locations under the same trademark. Since they never used the name "Big Mac" for a restaurant anywhere in Eu...
