Re: Target Rolls 10 item "Express Self Checkout" Nationwide
Walmart has upgraded employee quality but also established pride in the workplace. My Walmart stores must be very different from yours, because Walmart is the last place I see employees with any pride in the workplace. They seem to be bitter, overworked and frustrated. I'm glad this isn't universal...

Re: Self Check Outs
What is the reasoning? Obviously California lawmakers don't care about shrink or theft, so this is just another excuse to support unions. In California you already can't use self checkout for liquor sales. This will only cause prices to go up......and frankly the reason I'd rather use self checkout...

Re: 99 cents only calls it quits
Yet another victim of a greedy leveraged buyout.

Re: Vons for Business?
Many businesses buy stuff from supermarkets... this isn't at all unusual. Offices may need break room supplies like coffee and snacks, restaurants may need a few specialized ingredients that Sysco doesn't have, or a company may need sandwiches and fruit platters for an employee lunch. I don't know h...

Re: Amazon Fresh, take 2
Interesting that they are keeping Just Walk Out at the Amazon Go stores. Perhaps it works better in small format, or perhaps they are planning to use those stores to keep trying to improve the technology.

Re: Meanwhile in Canada, they're building Malls
The weather is probably also a factor. There is higher demand for indoor malls in places where it is too cold to walk around outdoors for a portion of the year.

Re: In & Out
Probably the same way they feel when they hear "Merry Christmas" the whole month of December... but it is easy to go ahead and delete/disregard the e-mail and be done with it. Throughout December you have no idea when you may be hit with a "Merry Christmas." To be fair, there's ...

Re: Here come the price increases!
So really the joke is on everyone who was picketing for these big wages, because most of the raise is going out the door to the IRS and FTB as soon as it becomes anything close to a "living wage" negating the entire activity. Taxes are marginal. If a single person is making 50k a year, th...

Re: Here come the price increases!
I do not understand why these chains do not understand what an issue drink pricing is and how it upsets/annoys customers. 2.99 for a fast food drink is simply too high. Wendys still has a 16oz drink at .99 here and Jack in the Box has a 16oz drink at 1.79 (just increased) but you cannot order eithe...
