Same in all blue cities with a large feral population
No,no,no. It's racism.
Don’t include Aldi in that list; they’re awesome. Great products at reasonable prices. Here in Houston, they’re extremely popular and in several of the ‘high priced’ neighborhoods such as Sugarland and Pearland.
I see two companies on that list; one owned by Kroger and another by Albertsons. The statement elsewhere on this thread that there is “no national grocery” is both correct technically and wrong practically.
Albertsons and Kroger have both grown tremendously over the last two decades, through buying competing regional grocers. It has gone mostly unnoticed because the buying company leaves the name of the exiting company on the front of the store. Both of those large chains control about 60% of the grocery business in this nation... through their own brands and the brand names of their owned subsidiaries.
The only Aldis I have encountered in Dallas need a quarter to unlock a shopping cart. The produce and meat selections look like the end of a long day at the Braums ‘grocery section’. Not a good place to shop.
Every Aldi requires a quarter for a shopping cart. That way, they don’t hire baggers/sackers to bag your groceries (which you have to do yourself with bags you either purchase or bring yourself), saving money.
I’d say you went on the wrong day if the produce and/or meat selection was poor. I’ve gotten good steaks there, and the produce we eat (apples, grapes, bananas, cantaloupe, carrots, potatoes, etc.) are always good.
