Has anyone been in since the Amazon takeover? We went today. Saw some
changes. Not necessarily lower prices on what we looked at and if anything,
less selection. Didn't like so much.

I've not been in yet, but the price drops were good publicity. The
chose items everyone buys and can easily compare. The nearest one to me
is 40 minutes and an area I don't go to often. Wegman's is easier

That seems reasonable. They probably threw some venders out on their ears. My guess is that this weeding process will continue for the time being before it stabilizes. They're gonna go Walmart on the vendor's asses.

Hmmm... Okay. Ours has some new displays and some things have been moved to
different areas.

Most likely the price drops were on items I wouldn't normally buy there. We
actually buy very little there. Mostly things we can't get elsewhere.
