Re: 🛒 Kroger-Albertsons Merger: National Impact
I doubt C&S is out, I think this just gets them more stores. They have a signed purchase agreement and until FTC formally denies them as a buyer I do not see them going away. Great deal for C&S. If I were them no way I'd be "out" with the bargain price... If C&S does go away I...

Re: Restaurant Fees
With extremely high labor costs and a lack of police support in major California cities customers are going to have to pay for it. (That's a lot of broadstroking for an historical issue that is quite complicated but fits the popular hype that all seem to enjoy). Blame who runs California and LA coun...

Re: Trader Joe's opening in northern Idaho
"As Trader Joe's has grown, I feel that some of the core items I used to buy have suffered. They stopped carrying akmak entirely... not sure if it was the bakery couldn't supply the quantity they wanted, or if they were insisting on private label rights. They even have "Dr. Bronner's"...

Re: Restaurant Fees
Perch (rooftop bar in downtown LA) now has a 4.5% "security fee". Typical, business owners continue to force customers to subsidize their business. Customers will continue to be forced to "work" to spend their money and to help owners pay for their overhead expenses (costs for o...

Re: Trader Joe's opening in northern Idaho
For a company that seems to be expanding at a quicker rate lately, they sure do seem to have a problem with noticeably increased product recalls (as reported all over).

Re: Macys Stores Closing by 2026
Macy's is and will continue to pay the price of over expansion by mergers and acquisitions. They are still in too many places that they should have never had a store. They diluted their brand cachet and equity for a long time, basically turning it into an ill defined May Co.. Lastly, this category o...

Re: Target Pricing - San Francisco vs. other areas
The San Francisco Bay Area is dominated by many Target stores. There are only a small number of Walmart stores and virtually all of those are not supercenters. For some reason people in the San Francisco Bay Area are very snobby. They will never set foot in a Walmart. The closet Walmart to the Targ...
