Re: Carls Jr. Fry Day Promotion
The coupons generally suck, but since the app went live, they've randomly offered some great promotions. * The "Jurassic Deals" last summer were insanely cheap, and if you purchased two or more you got a $10 voucher toward a movie ticket to Jurassic World. Probably one of the best promos e...

Re: Chick-fil-A Tests 2 Story Restaurant With 4 Lanes
They're converting at least two locations near me to drive-through only. The restaurants are (or at least were) completely gutted with all signage removed. Wonder what they have against dining rooms? Oh yeah... $$$.

Re: Rite Aid Bankruptcy Speculation
Without the West there is no Rite Aid. I'd argue that Rite Aid as a store (not necessarily pharmacy which many people don't have direct control over due to their insurance) outperforms Walgreens, at least in the SoCal market. Walgreens has closed many stores here over the last decade even though th...

Re: Rite Aid Bankruptcy Speculation
Given that Rite Aid has largely killed the front end business off, there isn't much value in that business. Or the stores and distribution network. They use a wholesaler for pharmacy. It is unfortunate the decisions made the past few years to kill what should have been a stronger front end than com...

Re: Greedflation & Fast Food
Here's an interesting website: Per the website, the least & most expensive Big Mac's in November vs. now: Eufaula, Oklahoma - 3.39 -> 3.59 (5.9% increase) Lee, MA - 7.89 -> 7.09 (-10.1% decrease) Probably not surprising on that decrease, after it made the local newscasts in this area (out of Al...

Re: Receipt Checks coming to Fred Meyer (OMG Why)
I often shop at one of the Meijer Detroit city stores. It's hardly an imposition, and quite a pleasure---the store is well-merchandised and stocked reasonably and does not appear in imminent danger of closing. They were quite candid at the time the stores opened 10 years ago that they were taking s...

Re: Greedflation & Fast Food
Here's an interesting website: https://fastfoodindex.walzr.com/ In November 2022, the website sourced the price of McDonald's Big Mac, Chick-Fil-A Sandwich, Taco Bell Crunchy Tack and Chicken Burrito at Chipotle at every single location. You can look up local restaurants by ZIP code and see what the...

Re: Greedflation & Fast Food
I have to wonder if some of these restaurants (particularly those such as Jack In The Box which has been basically opening and closing when they feel like it and is often drive-thru only) also raised prices to discourage some people from coming there in the first place to keep the drive-thru lines ...

Re: Receipt Checks coming to Fred Meyer (OMG Why)
The noise is because theft has increased... a lot... in dollars... and units. The reason you see executives complaining today is because there is a lag in information, but inventories are finally starting to show the massive theft that occurred in 2021, 2022, etc. Also I think there is more theft g...

Re: Albertsons Now Has Multiple Ads With Different Prices
Surprisingly, Catalina offers many of the same promotions as the mainland Vons/Albertsons. We were on a cruise last summer that stopped at Catalina Island and hoards of passengers were bringing back 24-packs of Signature Select water that was on sale for 97c.
