J. Steven York RESISTS<p>Since this merger was going to mean that pretty much every major chain grocery store within about 40 miles of my little town would have become Kroger, I'm thrilled to see it falling apart. At least now I still have some choice in WHICH devil I decide to deal with. There are small chain and indie choices, but they all have limitations. I do shop there, but to fit my restricted diet, compromises are made.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/kroger" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>kroger</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/albertsons" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>albertsons</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/groceries" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>groceries</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/merger" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>merger</span></a><br><a href="https://apnews.com/article/kroger-albertsons-79e366723d7287b2df71d96730fba76e" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">apnews.com/article/kroger-albe</span><span class="invisible">rtsons-79e366723d7287b2df71d96730fba76e</span></a></p>
