By the way, fellow FReeper gunsequalfreedom and I had a nice, amicable exchange privately and so I share one more comment with both of you. He may be too young to recall the era when the tri-state had numerous choices in grocery stores, benefiting the buyer because of hearty competition. One large chain that had quality products and low prices, Kroger, was run out because of unionism. The work rules were so excessive that a low-margin business like that couldn't be sustained. Now the area has only three companies selling groceries where there used to be more than a dozen.
Bears repeating.
