Re: Rite Aid closing at least 63 stores

Sign walkers no longer have a start date. Now say starting SOON. Okay guys. Whatever.

This is however the first ad I've seen that also includes Mammoth Lakes.

Re: 🛒 Kroger-Albertsons Merger: National Impact

They are telling CO that the number of divests is increasing. They think this will get CO to drop its lawsuit against the merger. https://www.msn.com/en-ae/money/companies/colorado-s-bid-to-halt-kroger-albertsons-merger-set-for-august-hearing/ar-BB1kwqUz "An attorney for Kroger, Matthew Wolf, s...

Re: Trader Joe's opening in northern Idaho

And out of stocks... I have reduced how often I shop there due to not finding what I go in for so many times... but the stores seem busier than ever and their prices are lower than the conventional grocers. I wonder how the distribution system will handle the expansions. They are building a massive...

Re: "Generic" Walgreens?

It looks like Walgreens has been running this thing for about the past 8 years.

What is interesting is Laramie is where Rite Aid had its lone WY store which was a former Payless/Osco. It closed in the early 00's.

Re: Dollar General eliminating self checkout

Yikes. Hopefully they increase staffing levels to offset the loss of self checkout, but we all know that isn't going to happen.

Re: Tabletop tablets in chain restaurants

Earlier this week I had dinner at my local Red Lobster, and noticed that these tablet things were completely gone from the restaurant. They really seemed out of place at Red Lobster as they took up space and were distracting while eating. I am glad they are gone. I think more places are going to a ...

Re: Chickfila to END "no antibiotics ever" chicken

Yes, the subject line is correct. This chain made a pledge to sell chicken with "no antibiotics ever" in 2014. It is now ending that pledge. The new pledge is something about no antibiotics important to human medicine. Whatever that means. And whoever concludes what constitutes "impo...

Re: Chickfila to END "no antibiotics ever" chicken

There probably was a way to transition to cage free eggs without a sharp sudden price increase or to slow the price increase to a phase in over time, in a phased approach over a number of in a given state for producers like must be 10% cage free in 2020, 20% cage free in 2021 etc. But that wouldn't...

Dollar General eliminating self checkout

Dollar General is reportedly eliminating self checkout. Their self checkout had no weight sensors, no camera that recorded you and the counter (just recorded you standing there but opposite angle of the counter and bag area), and the scanner beeped even when the system was closed or had an error on ...
