Multiple Supermarkets in Washington State Due to Democrats.
Fact check completed
Criminal culture getting its just deserts.
Well, to stay in business, they’ll have to put everything behind locked plexiglass cases like in California, right?
A local Ralphs recently put in an entire plexiglass section of items that are constantly stolen - laundry detergent, personal care items, baby formula, diapers and more. You have to pay for your items in that particular section which has its one door in and out that can be shut and locked.
It was either that or the entire store closes.
There was a story a while back about a Target store walling off all shelves with plexiglass. A crazy solution!
I grocery shop at Walmart due to price and most items I buy are made in America. I notice that about a quarter of the shoppers are Walmart employees filing orders. So ...
Kroger has the opportunity to do something innovative. Wall off the store behind the checkout lanes. Install kiosks and have CSR available to help the elderly and technology-impaired shoppers create their orders. Have staff ready to pick the orders and deliver to the front. Problem solved. Back to the future? No, back to the past with a kiosk twist.
I used to live in Everett. It’s turning into Detroit. I call it ‘The place where business goes to die’.
That Fred Meyer is in the worst location. Everett Police is horrible, and the DA there has set up a revolving door.
My kids still live in Everett, but they are both saving up to get out. My youngest has met his target. My middle kid is getting there.
My oldest is in Northern Idaho, otherwise known as paradise.
Believe it or not grocery chains only make a 1 to 2% profit on the billions of products they sell.
Then the bodegas will come in and there will be cries of gouging because the bodegas can’t buy by volume and shoplifting is out of control.
Another FAFO moment brought to you by the dem-o-rats.
