Time to shop at Vons!
.
I live 200 feet from a Ralphs market.
.
Lately, they have put locks on their carts so you can't take them home.
But Ralphs doesn't deliver. So to get anything heavy, I have to start the
car, back it up, negotiate the driveway, drive to Ralphs, find a parking
place and then reverse the process when I go home. It wouldn't cost
much more to drive to Von's. Von's doubles coupons, carries items
that Ralphs doesn't have and, for a small fee, Von's delivers.
.
Actually, Von's was also part of the union busting conspiracy with
Ralphs, so better to go to Vallarta markets.

Shut up you idiot. Best you leave the car in the driveway. If you've got to negotiate a driveway, who the heck wants you driving on the road? You're a menace to society and to message boards. And take your KKK hood off while you drool or the spittle down your chin may soil your sheets. You might end up having to negotiate the washing machine.

Vons is better but the grocery union is an abusive union anyway. My neighbor was a clerk for 25 years and she got tired of the games that were played by the union, the lies, the faked voting, the inability to speak out against it and the high losses they incurred every time they struck. she was happy that her medical plan is better than 90% of the rest of society for a job that required no special training or capability. the stores didnt try to bust the union, the union put themselves into a position that could have destroyed it, like they always do.she wont shop in a union store anymore and her friends that left are happier in nonunion environments.

This is propaganda crap!
I am a coupon whore!
Yes, it takes time to sit there and cut out coupons, shop wih them and compare prices and coupons to see what would be the best deal for your money, but it is sooo worth it!

I love my coupons and use my coupons and need my coupons to save my family money!
and with doule coupons, I really do save $$$.
The only reason that I would shop at Ralphs in the 1st place is because they offer double coupons! Usually their prices are high, but with a coupon it's affordable.
For ex. When you have something on sale such as two boxes of cereal for $4 and then you apply a $1 coupon and then ralphs doubles that coupon...you basically get two boxes of cereal for only $2!!!
To raise and feed three children, I need these kind of deals!
Their prices better be a "whole lot lower" to make up for this b.s....

Yes in this case "whor" is bad because they don't take coupons, let alone double them.

I'm outraged. I wrote to the company and explained how their new program is a complete joke.

Here's their address:
Ralphs Grocery Company
PO Box 54143
Los Angeles, CA 90054

Here's an excerpt from my letter:
I manage the household budget and have to make the decision whether to buy meat or produce “this” week, which is completely dependent on the pricing of either product. I clip coupons, watch sales to get by on my families budgeted allotment. To see the prices increase in the stores (and the resulting rise in the stock value) as families are struggling to put gasoline in their cars in order to drive to work is just insupportable. Our Porter Ranch Supermarket just received its second major remodel, even though the store hasn’t even been here for 10 years. It didn’t need to be remodeled.

Your new program, Ralphs Rewards, is a JOKE. A customer has to spend $500 (of certain products) in order to earn 500 points for a $5 reward. You take away the dollar doubling ability (where I would save $40 a week easily) and then create an entirely new tracking system (which cost even more money to print new cards and re-distribute and key enter the data for the cards), and expect me to be overjoyed to earn $5 or $20 maximum?

Ralphs, what a joke. Anyone remember the strikes they keep having every few years?

Do cashiers deserve $20 an hour and even more on weekends and holidays and no copay on health benifits?

Who won that last strike? Of course they went back. Wasn't Ralphs also guilty of false documents to hire strikers who went back under different names and SS#s to work during a strike long ago?

Shop at Trader Joes, Costco, and Walmart. These high prices will collapse Ralphs just as Albertsons did.
