Sitting on the job instead of serving customers can lead to internal disciplinary action.

Re: Aldi

The thing to keep in mind about Aldi is it isn't a typical American supermarket. It's quirky, 25-cents-to-unleash-a-cart, small building, limited selection, products-here-today-gone-tomorrow Aldi. Until the last ten or so years, they stacked cases of product on the floor and as one case became empt...

Re: Raising Cane's Closing Dining Room

The Oakland, California restaurant has closed its dining room. They claim it is due to crime. There have been many car break-ins and robberies. The drive thru is the only option now. The owner also claims he is having trouble keeping employees. If people want to risk getting their cars broken into,...

Re: Kroger to merge with Albertsons?

Quite frankly though, I don't think this merger is going to be completed. And in that 70% chance the merger fails, I think Ahold is going to acquire the strong divisions of Albertsons (NorCal, Jewel, SoCal, PNW, Intermountain, Southwest) while the rest gets carved up and sold piecemeal. Why would A...

Re: Mcdonald's Drive Thru Of The Future

Most McDonald's locations I see have 1.5 drive through lanes. The lanes consist of a complete lane for ordering and windows for paying and pickup, and a half lane for ordering and no windows for paying and pickup. For the complete drive through lanes, some locations have issues having orders ready, ...

Re: Kroger closing two metro-Atlanta stores

Commerce is a very small store that previously was a Harris-Teeter, A&P and Colonial. When I lived in Atlanta, it was an odd little, low volume Kroger with a huge beverage selection. Harris-Teeter had run it as a mostly "perimeter" store. I suspect that Kroger ran it keep someone like...

Re: Southeast Grocers Exploring Sale

It is tough for me to see Winn Dixie as a functional part of Kroger. The stores seem too small, not located correctly, and a tarnished brand. My guess is in the back of their mind Lone Star was really hoping to sell this chain to Albertsons or Kroger. Now that this Albertsons/Kroger merger is happe...
