Re: Grabango The Just Walk Out Competitor
I take it back. This system is flawed. I was charged for a large bag of chips when I picked up a small one. Apparently it is not very accurate if it just goes by what each item looks like. There must be someone in a room looking at the cameras trying to figure out what you are holding. What a rip of...

Re: Jack in the Box & Del Taco moving to 100% kiosks
I went to Taco Bell and said I had a mobile order. The cashier said, "Oh, God!" She told me that when people do mobile orders, there are so many crazy customizations that can be missed. They end up having to remake the food and end up throwing away tons of food. It really cuts into their p...

Re: Stores that never were: Sacramento edition
I was just comparing how in some cities such as Woodland, California near Sacramento, the Walmart was not able to become a supercenter. So Walmart opened up a Neighborhood Market in Woodland about a mile away from the bigger Walmart. It took away many customers and sales from the bigger Walmart. It ...

Re: Stores that never were: Sacramento edition
However, it can backfire. Usually if they are next to each other customers will patronize both stores. In Pleasanton, California Walmart had an existing non-supercenter. It then opened up a Neighborhood Market perhaps a mile away and another in nearby San Ramon. The two Neighborhood Markets took cus...

Sauced and Loaded Trend
Jack in the Box has brought back the popcorn chicken again. This time they are jumping on the sauced and loaded trend. KFC has just introduced sauced nuggets. Now there are sauced and loaded popcorn chicken items at Jack In The Box. The sauce actually makes these menu items pretty good. https://www....

Re: Jack in the Box & Del Taco moving to 100% kiosks
Jack In The Box had kiosks in their San Francisco Bay Area stores up until around 2016 or so. Customers hated them. Nobody used them. They didn't take cash, and it was complicated to order. Most of the time it was so frustrating that you would just order the bare minimum and pay. Ordering with a cas...

Re: First New JCPenney In 8 Years Opens
I was stuck in line at JCPenney, and many people were having problems using their JCPenney rewards program. The cashier would push signing up for Rewards and then people would have problems redeeming. Then there were multiple issues with the cashier asking if you wanted to apply for a credit card. T...

Re: Arby's Free Sandwich Each Week In April
The Beef Gyro is only beef while the other Gyro Meat could be a mix with little to a lot of lamb. I would suspect it would be on the little side regarding the amount of lamb.

Re: First New JCPenney In 8 Years Opens
I actually liked the old store within a store decor when they remodeled in the last decade. That looked nice for a while. I have seen some new ones opened in the previous decade that looked decent without the store within a store decor. The issue is the central checkout where the single line is so l...
