Wegmans was again named by Fortune as one of "100 best companies to work for" for the 15th consecutive year.

That's it. Why did I think it had two names. I have heard glowing reports on Wegmans.

I continue to see a good many Walmart haters on TOTV. I've never understood that. I truly enjoy shopping at Walmart. Their employees are usually very friendly and helpful, and they carry more and different brands than our single other local choice, Dillons, which is owned by Kroger.

I guess some people just don't like a home grown company that has been so successful. Some complain about Walmart not being unionized, but in most parts of the country grocery stores aren't.

You must not be brainwashed yet.
You need to watch more TV.
The media will tell you what to think.

Cisco, as I've proven with all the TV trivia quizzes the last few days, I don't think it would be humanly possible for me to watch MORE TV, lol.

Have a smart phone? There is an app for that.

Thank you for the update......

........OOPS......I must have taken one heck of a LONG nap.......

Sweetbay (Food Lion) was obviously taken over by the "Buffalo" crew from Delhaize.

The OLD Food Lion headquarters in Salisbury, NC now has
new owners from Belgium. I learn something new every year.

Triple coupons up to $2.00. Although they might not do that anymore.

We REALLY got off topic and I helped as usual.


Bump to get us back to what the OP posted originally.

Great for me! I can visit my 2 favorite places: the library and Publix same trip. If it ever happens, that is!
