Yeah. After Fred Meyer (PNW) was bought out by Kroger, quality of things has gone down. Even an FM employee told my wife, “don’t buy anything with the Kroger brand.” He was right.

Why is it that the wrong ones always buy out and kill the good ones? And now they want to merge, to screw you even more!

That’s OK. Neither do you!
