Retail Watchers

According to the Phoenix Business Journal the pilot ends 3/20 and moves to Houston.

Not sure if this is the best forum to put this in, but during my last Phoenix visit, I ended up in more stores - a) Bashas': good all around full-service experience. No online pickup/ordering/etc but maybe they have a more "distinguished" customer. Excellent bakery. Clean and friendly but...

These "tidying announcements" were the topic of the closing segment of KXRK-FM (X96)'s "Radio From Hell" show for about 5 minutes. The podcast should be available later today. It was ridiculed to no end. Edit: https://www.spreaker.com/user/broadwaymedia/rfh03142019 Audio at 154:...
