Re: Amazon Fresh Lowering Prices
The Whole Foods in my area have noticeable improvements in store conditions and pricing seems to be lower. One thing that has not improved is still NO baggers and of course the horrific parking thing. Oh, and still too many clerks pulling merch for online orders (they are always in the way of shoppe...

Re: ARTICLE: Giant bans customers from carrying large bags in DC stores amid mass shoplifting
Sometimes simple is the best solution. Way back in time no one was allowed to bring in any receptacle that could accommodate store products (at least in the stores I worked in or shopped. If it was a huge purse type thing they were followed around the store. But no one was allowed to "shop"...

Re: Amazon Fresh Lowering Prices
"All these retailers are doing is issuing garbage press releases and the media is running with them. Meanwhile all I'm seeing is more price increases overall." Exactly, it's a collusive partnership! The media today is both lazy and incompetent. They don't have any reporters left who are f...

Re: Official: Red Lobster files Chapter 11
Let me rephrase: Darden Corp. used to have restaurants with Darden on the FRONT outside. Do they still have restaurants named Darden? When was this/what did these units sell? I wonder if the company founder started these separately at some point? https://www.referenceforbusiness.com/history2/73/Dar...

Re: Official: Red Lobster files Chapter 11
Yard House isn't bad but I could take it or leave it- but that is a strong concept, very popular. Bahama Breeze I used to know someone who really liked that chain, and I agree it was pretty good. I think that BB unit in Las Vegas did close some years back or maybe it did manage to survive; it never...

Re: The Fall of Third Street Promenade
...Parking difficulty is a strong contribution to the isolation of the area... The parking situation was terrible. Even when garage spaces were available, the line to get out of the garages were too damn long. I like to walk, so on visits from San Diego I'd park several blocks north and hoof it. No...

Re: Downtown Scottsdale Fry's to become a Whole Foods
I can tell you where it is coming from. Their produce is typically on the verge of being rotten, meat isn't very good, bakery products don't have much flavor, and the stores are a mess. There are outliers (Tatum and Shea, 7th Street and Bell, Downtown Phoenix, and Laveen Village come to mind) but m...
