Re: Sears & Kmart 2024: Will someone please put them out of their misery?
Sears is installing new cash registers at the store in Whittier. Completely new hardware and software. I'm sure it is some vendor system but it is interesting they'd bother to do this. Given how well the current system works with liquidation sales I fail to see what the point is of installing a new...

Re: Chickfila to END "no antibiotics ever" chicken
Yes, the subject line is correct. This chain made a pledge to sell chicken with "no antibiotics ever" in 2014. It is now ending that pledge. The new pledge is something about no antibiotics important to human medicine. Whatever that means. And whoever concludes what constitutes "impo...

Re: Trader Joe's adding another store in Oregon
Moving into a former Dollar Tree location between a Walmart Neighborhood Market and an Ace Hardware, which is just about perfect for Trader Joes (another in our area is also attached to an Ace). This is the core retail area for this part of the Milwaukie - Oak Grove - Gladstone ... and even Oregon ...

Re: HOT Portland Division Safeway - Albertsons ad
For a change of pace, the ad effective for March 20 - March 26, 2024 has a lot of decent offers. Highlights Fridays still remain a "Frenzy" here instead of $5 Friday like it was for years (even pre-ACI), but a 12 oz. bag of organic coffee at $4 is a very :!: low price. Many items in the a...

Re: Dollar Tree To Raise Prices To $7
In other words, why not just rename it Walmart Express?

Re: Fast Food chains focusing on apps while menu prices skyrocket
My issue is that app orders are often screwed up. And the restaurant staff is either unable or unwilling to fix it. I've challenged many app charges on my credit card successfully so at least we have that recourse.

Re: Target Rolls 10 item "Express Self Checkout" Nationwide
I often checkout at Target using the rarely used Snack Bar self checkout machine. I have had people.give me nasty stares for doing so but there's nothing wrong with it.

Re: Fast Food chains focusing on apps while menu prices skyrocket
If restaurants are going to push the app so hard, they need a separate line for it. I shouldn't have to wait in the drive thru line behind everyone else. And most of the time, the designated pick up spots aren't much better since you are waiting for an employee to get free to deliver your order to y...
