As long as the other grocers have union issues, ...

It's my understanding that Jimmy Hoffa got his start at a Kroger's in Cincinnati when he convinced a bunch of dock workers to hold out for more money rather than unload a huge shipment of fresh strawberries. Kroger's relented a few days later rather than watch their produce rot on the trucks.

We count mullets when we go to Wal-Mart... Not so at our local Kroger

LOL

I would gladly pay a tad more to experience a better atmosphere (no offense to the mulleted folks).

Aint that the truth...now I'm jealous and wish we had one of those fancy stores being talked about around here. Someone mentioned Ranch 99, that's a good place if you like to swat flies...
