Fuck Kroger, they buy up good grocery chains and turn them into the Amazon of grocery stores except they don’t have everything they only have one popular brand and then their copy of it, the speed at which they are copying products is truly amazing.

Even if it had gone through, the practice was being done before that date. My point is that Kroger is not unique
