Re: SLC WinCo joins Teamsters
At one point, it was common to see people picketing outside of WinCo stores in the Portland/Vancouver, WA area. They were picketing about the fact that WinCo did not have a union contract. This seems to have stopped as I have not seen those pickets in years. I am not sure if the picketers were from ...

Re: Rite Aid closing at least 63 stores
Rite Aid 5413 in Boise is the former Marina Safeway at 1515 W. State Street. This one has been remodeled quite extensively on the inside and seemed like a good performer, and has been there a long time. Kinda surprised to see this location pop up on such a list.

Re: Digital Coupons
The whole card thing has caused me to shift a lot of shopping to WinCo where they don't have all these gimmicks. If only WinCo could get their random out of stock issues under control and offer better dairy and produce so I could avoid Fred Meyer altogether.... WinCo does offer digital manufacturer...

They apparently are not going to release a list of locations.

Re: Macy's Buyout? Private ownership bid
On the flip side, they should ramp up openings of their smaller format Macys much more quickly. A great example. I'm sure the downtown Salem, OR store will close since it has seen little investment. However, they should at the same time open a smaller, replacement store at Keizer Station to blunt t...

Re: Wendys Dynamic Pricing
This is one of the dumbest ideas I have ever heard about. The potential is there to do things like raise prices during lunch hour and other busy periods, raise prices when the dining room is open, raise prices to push people to use an app/loyalty program, etc. Wendy's seemed to be doing ok, and has ...

Re: Burlingame Fred Meyer sign demolished
As far as this goes I'm just glad we didn't get a box shaped fruit cart logo Fred Meyer sign... I like neon and we have a developer in Reno who has taken out a bunch of old weekly motels (causing exponential growth in the local homeless population) and demolished them but kept all the old neon sign...

Re: Golden Corral All You Can Eat Butterfly Shrimp & Chicken Tenders
One thing a lot of the buffets have done is to start charging for drinks, and those can get expensive. Old Country Buffet/Hometown Buffet was doing this at the end also. I always wondered what happens if you do NOT purchase a beverage...are you allowed to at least get water? Do they give you a diff...

Re: Golden Corral All You Can Eat Butterfly Shrimp & Chicken Tenders
About a year or two before COVID hit, a Golden Corral opened in Vancouver, WA. It is still open, but I have never been to that location. I have been wondering if they are a traditional buffet still, or if they dish out the food you want like a cafeteria, or if they bring you refills on items like th...
