Gas is currently selling for about $3.89 to $3.97 a U.S. gallon around here.
I paid $2.97 a gallon the other day. That's a dollar a gallon discount.
Giant offers 10 cents off a gallon at Shell for each $100 you spend at
the supermarket. Thus, if you spend $1000, you get a dollar a gallon
discount.
I keep getting phone calls offering me 25 free gallons of gas if I
will sign up for some insurance plan. It makes me wonder how
overpriced the insurance is. (certainly $100 right off the bat)
I am sure Giant is getting their dime back. They were always high
anyway. Joe Danzansky needs a yacht too I guess.
BTW when you are 64.5, your phone starts ringing off the hook with
insurance offers and my mailbox is stuffed. It starts to make me
wonder how much Medicare actually pays. I know my insurance from IBM
will actually get higher if I read all of the documentation right. I
haven't really got serious about this but it is pretty confusing so
far. It really looks like the benefit plan throws you under the bus at
65. I know the IBM Retiree forum is saying the WalMart drug plan is
the best, better than Part D or the IBM/Medco plan.
The Danzanskys sold Giant years ago. I think it is on its third owner
since then. Now that a big corporation owns the chain, quality and
service have deteriorated. We also have Safeway, Food Lion (a terrible
operation), and some distance away, a couple of premium supermarkets.
That doesn't surprise me. I do remember when Giant opened the first
store near me. up on Marlboro Pike on the Md side of the line in Coral
Hills and put our little DC neighborhood grocery store out of
business. (The Normandy Market on Benning Road)
i wouldn't trust prescriptions from Wal-Mart.
I am not really sure why not but I know you are not a WalMart fan. I
don't really take any drugs so it is not really that important to me
right now. I get my fish oil and a multivitamin from Costco or Publix
How many reasons does one need to not like a particular commercial
operation?
I can list a few off the top, in addition to its virulent anti-unionism:
Wal-Mart is a major violator of wage-hour laws, forcing employes to work
off the clock
Wal-Mart is a major violator of gender anti-discrimination laws.
Wal-Mart is a major trading partner of the People's Republic of China,
its near-slave wage factories and abusive employers.
Wal-Mart is a major violator of anti-pollution laws.
Wal-Mart sells food, especially dairy products, that is beyond the
"pull" date.
Wal-Mart sells cheap drugs from India, formulated and manufactured in
that country. India is one of the world's biggest players in the
counterfeit and substandard drug trade.
All speculation based on political motive...
No speculation at all. All manner of charges filed, hearings and
procedures, fines, et cetera. You're just again demonstrating your
ignorance of reality.
There have been charges and allegations by folks like yourself who hate
free enterprise.. Nobody else but political hacks like you...
Bull****. It's easy enough to come up with dozens of charges against
Wal-Mart that have been investigated and adjudicated, with fines levied.
Wal-Mart is such a bad customer that even our Republican, conservative
county board wouldn't let Wal-Mart build one of its "super-stupor"
stores in the mid to south county area.
There's just very little of substance you know, Scottmonger. You
demonstrate that here every day.
BTW, I haven't posted that photo of my server that I said I would post.
You know, the server you claim I don't own. I'll get to it. Meanwhile,
here's a screen snap of part of the server control panel:
