Sanity prevailed. It’s not like we need to be gouged even harder for the trash they mostly sell. If folks are still going to “American” grocery stores, go to a local Korean grocery store to see what groceries should look like. Large assortment of fairly inexpensive fresh produce, good meats, some even attractively priced, lots of fresh (even live!) fish and seafood. What prevents Kroger from not giving everyone diabetes, IDK.

- voakbasda 3y agoIf the evidence coming out now is any indicator, I think we will continue to be gouged. The failure of this merger does not suddenly eliminate all of the anti-competitive intent in the executives. If anything this underscores the fact that this (and many other market segments) are dominated by cartels that actively collude in ways that harm consumers. And the government won't do a damn thing about it.
