Re: CA Senate Bill 478- "Junk fees" bill
“To-go” requires packaging, which costs more nowadays, especially because foam containers are verboten in many areas of the country. Dine in requires none of that packaging. As to “checked luggage”, certain items “disappear” from checked luggage frequently as it is checked-like electronic devices. A...

Re: Ace Hardware?
You can find things at an Ace store that you can’t find at the Blue and Orange boxes. There is also more help there than the big boxes. Plus a lot of people prefer going to a smaller store than dealing with the hordes in the big box DIYs .

Re: Downtown Scottsdale Fry's to become a Whole Foods
A lot of Fry’s stores seem to be dumpier nowadays….dirty floors, out-of-stock during weekends, more disheveled looking. Meanwhile the Safeways where I live are brighter and cleaner looking- produce department looks good, bakery looks tempting, deli well stocked.

Re: ABC Four Corners feature on the Coles/Woolworths grocery duopoly
I wonder why the Australian government hasn’t forced divestitures on these two operators. They do have Aldi down there, how much of a market share does Aldi have?
Is there any interest for other International retailers to get into Oz? Like the Japanese retailers? Costco?

Re: 🛒 Kroger-Albertsons Merger: National Impact
I think this change was made in an attempt to sway public opinion. Most people don't understand the details, all they see is that the number of divested stores went from 413 to 579. That looks like a big increase, so people will think that Kroger is being reasonable and addressing the government's ...

Re: 🛒 Kroger-Albertsons Merger: National Impact
I assume those stores in AZ and CO include the Albertsons/Safeway warehouses and truck fleets-they would just be duplicate facilities for Kroger in those markets.

Re: 🛒 Kroger-Albertsons Merger: National Impact
Safeway is putting money in Phoenix…. Remodeled stores and several new stores in Surprise and one planned in Buckeye. I prefer going to Safeway as the Fry’s stores seem to be getting more shabbier, especially the floors.
