Yes, I have Kroger stock. Just so you know, I did not buy it. I owned stock in another company that was purchased by Kroger.

What does Elaine know about overpriced groceries?

And yes she's totally corrupt ex sec of transportation married to totally corrupt McConnell.

how that happens.

RiteAide bought family owned PNW pharmacy chain Bartells.

Severely understaffed including pharmacy. Dirty floors. Chipped paint. Etc.

Used to be friendly helpful community stores. No more. Which is what everyone feared during the takeover. Sad.

My favorite is shoes. Big players buy a good brand and want to profit. So they cheapen the product. Was a big thing in the Great Recession because people weren't buying shoes. After they cheapen the product, consumers move on to other brands. Reebok is said to be on the ropes. Florsheim now part of a conglomerate. Some of the brand owners own multi-line shoe stores, and push the brands they own.

I like to look up my favorite brand to see who owns them now.

There's a reason leather is now a veneer, shoes are made of lightweight fabric. They keep making them cheaper so they can make more money.

That Krogers card thing annoys the crap out of me.

no more shopping at Ralph's for me

hire union buster chao. As an Asian who is pretty close to having my ancestors work on the railroad I find her to be reprehensible. She came here in the sixties and was wealthy. My family took the racism she she could coast by. The fact that she spoke at the Golden Spike celebration for the Chinese who worked on the railroad made me puke.

ago because they somehow offended the My Pillow Guy. I wonder if the Trumplicon boycott brought that on?

the ceo demonstrated such poor judgment in getting that corrupt unethical slimeball on the board, .I have no choice but to go to Costco.

I'd like to picket my local store.

I'd be the only one out there. Most people don't even know who she is.

Ever since our local Fred Meyer (A Kroger company) forced our favorite local supermarket to be closed and demolished so they could expand *their* store and add a grocery section. We moved all of the business that used to go to that store to another one of the same (very small, local) chain a few miles away.

I have not spent a nickel in a Fred Meyer since they did that, and we used to be dropping by to get something from that Freddy's at least once a week. Several of the neighbors have also stopped buying things there, also.

step in those stores again.
