Retail Watchers

I just checked my receipt from the new two or so week old Wal Mart here and it has the same exact font so I am guessing the same printers and also contains the old logo, and has my signature on the receipt for a real small purchase. The printers must have some kind of very old configuration. To clar...

It may depend what version of the printer they are using. Wal Mart has quite a few different register printers and receipts vary depending on the printer. Some print your signature on the receipt, others do not, others do only if the purchase is a certain dollar amount.

But all that deadweight is being paid, collecting a check, and spending the money thus putting it back into the economy. I'm not saying it is a bad thing to cut deadweight by any means; companies should not have a bunch of middle management that does little to nothing in the first place. But, if the...

There was truly no sign of Albertsons at Bristol Farms at all. I had lunch at the San Francisco one shortly after it opened and I don't remember any of the food being particularly good.

The cashier even dared to suggest I donate 75cents to round my xx.25 purchase up to an even dollar amount. NO, I do not want to donate. That is why I answered NO to the question...

I think the new signs may be needs based right now. A number of months ago, the store in South Carson City, NV got new O'Reilly signs outside. Inside, the store retains the Kragen interior signs including a large Kragen logo on the wall. Last month, the store in extreme South Reno at Damonte Ranch P...
