Re: Rite Aid closing at least 63 stores
For some reason the GNC.com website is now selling a bunch of Rite Aid brand vitamins. This may not seem unusual since GNC has had a contract to supply Rite Aid brand vitamins for decades now. But this is very recent the GNC.com sells Rite Aid vitamins. Also most/all of these are "out of stock...

Re: Wawa CEO: There is no "Gentlemen's agreement" with Sheetz
As an example, even though not due to this situation - many posted about no longer getting coffee from Cumberland, since they went from their old $0.99 to $1.29 and then to having different prices for different sizes, such that a large cup that had been $1.07 (after tax) is now $1.83. They switched...

Re: Mcdonald's Workers in Oakland, California Go On Strike Due To Rats
This is a very janky McDonalds. It is on the edge of Downtown Oakland in what historically hasn't been a great area. Right before COVID they were just about finishing with a very nice large apartment/condo complex across the street and fixing up some other nearby buildings in an effort to revive the...

Re: Wawa CEO: There is no "Gentlemen's agreement" with Sheetz
How would you enforce that though? Order Sheetz to immediately build and open locations in Wawa territory and vice versa? Probably not so much enforcement by requiring them to build, more likely that if it was provable that there would be fines or similar to punish them for keeping competition from...

Re: 🛒 Kroger-Albertsons Merger: National Impact
Dollar Tree and Family Dollar also charge some kind of fee for cash back. I'm not sure how it works at Dollar General or if they even offer cash back. I agree however the .75 cash back fee for a simple $20 etc. of cash back at these Kroger banners is unacceptable. I have been surprised no other gro...

Re: 99 CENT ONLY closing
I think y'all are missing the point here....this is nothing more/less than retail and restaurant has always done to fill their management pipeline...in the 50s (at least) onward all the chains (both department, Sears/Penney and dime store) had pipeline programs....they have just migrated toward Tar...

Re: Walmart introduces new private label brand
Sam Walton didn't curate a damned thing at Sam's Club. He literally stole the entire concept from Sol Price and was proud of it. He met with Sol Price and picked his brain about his Price Club membership warehouses then studied the stores out West and made his own version starting in the South. Thi...

Re: Walmart to close Health Care Clinics
Pharmacies can be very profitable, but it requires pharmacies to say "no." If insurances don't cover a certain medication, you have say make a tough decision. Why order a medication and give it away at a loss? CVS and Walgreens will do this. Sorry, we don't have Ozempic in stock. Of cours...

Re: Wienerschnitzel Debuts Mac Burger & Mac Dog
They have a daily special; the Chicago Dog at 2.99 on some day, I forget which, maybe Tuesday, is pretty good in my opinion. Not the best, but for that price I think it is a pretty good deal. I think there is an "upcharge" of 1.29 to get it as all beef hot dog. The fries are great. There i...
