Don't they teach market research in business schools?
Do they realize how unpopular this is and week cost them market share?
Then again, what choices will there really be if this is the trend with all big retailers.
My town has three stores, Kroger, Safeway, and Walmart. As one goes so go they all most likely on this one so idk how I’d even begin to think about avoiding this longer term…
I'm lucky enough to have a WinCo nearby, but I'm not sure how widespread they are
I've been to 47 states and a bunch of countries, I've never seen a winco
West coast thing and pretty scattered, pretty sure they are worker owned which is cool.
Have they been around long? I lived in Oregon, California and Washington but it's been awhile
About 15 years minimum, they were pretty well established when I was 10 and now im 25.
Edit: im technically 24 but a month and some change is not that notable.
If they can prove our that it is just acceptable enough they know competition will follow suit and they can enjoy the increased margins then.
