Sounds very much like the store where I shop that I used to
bitch about all the time. Thank goodness Albertsons bought out
the chain. And about the 10 for thing, you could never tell when
they'd give you the item for a dollar or they'd charge you full
price. The meat and the produce, don't even get me started.
The deplorable state of their meat department is why I first joined
Costco, years ago.
