Re: Golden Corral All You Can Eat Butterfly Shrimp & Chicken Tenders

In Washington buffets seemed to be living on borrowed time before COVID, and pretty much all folded quickly afterward. By now I think all the tribal casinos in the area that had buffets before 2020 have eliminated them and repurposed the spaces (shortly after COVID Washington legalized sports betti...

Re: 🛒 Kroger-Albertsons Merger: Northwest, Rockies, & Alaska Impact

Seattle Times summation of legal actions from Washington AG as well as discussion of the SW Washington/Oregon/(Southern?) Idaho and Wyoming union endorsement of the merger. Archive.today (to go around S.T. paywall): Do we have to say that we won't close stores? I am not sure how many union employees...

Re: Safeway NorCal: 12pk Coke/Pepsi 10.99

Well, 9.99 wasn't enough. So now Safeway NorCal wants 10.99 for a 12pk of Coke or Pepsi. Unreal. I am sure a Buy 2 get 2 Free sale is on. Save Mart threw the first punch on this- they went to 10.99 on 12pk Coke last week (3.99 2 Liter). They kept Pepsi at 9.99 though. Wal Mart meanwhile is running ...

Re: New Ralphs/Kroger Interior

Maybe this is an especially bad application of it, but really they took what was always a very nice store (even though it mysteriously was only signed as FF) and made it feel a thousand times worse.

Re: McDonalds- no menu board. Use kiosk or app.

Blahhhhh.
This is just how it is now.
And that location might as well put in the cash vending machines too so they can really cut back on humans. Welcome to the AUTOMAT!

Re: Dollar General Cashierless Store: NC

I was able to find this TikTok without an account (note, I am on a computer, so it was easier to bypass requests to create a TikTok account).

The Review-Journal reports that another location is coming to the Las Vegas area as well, based on permitting.
