Well they weren't going to do it all at once and right away. Watch for a price creep. Since they had their non-strike strike, I've noticed a price creep at Market Basket. First, they eliminated the extra 4% off your total bill. Then they nickel'd and dime'd their increases in things that I now find for a lower price at other stores. In spite of their name, "Price Chopper" has had some of the highest prices among the stores in my shopping circle. I used to shop them for strictly loss-leaders and fried fish. Now, I can find common things I use cheaper and easier at P-C than I can at Market Basket.I just placed a very large order with Jet. Saw no difference this time. Next month I will place a much small one of household cleaning products and will see if there is any difference.
That means it probably does not bode well for those of you who love Jet. With Wal-Mart coughing up that much money, they'll have to recover the cost somehow. Just like when Market Basket came back from their non-strike strike, pricing probably won't be as good as it was before.
Wonder how long it will be before Amazon buys out Wal-Jet, or vice-versa.

You might not have the same problem with finding things in stock at your store, though. The one I shop (and the only one close enough to make it worth driving to) has been going downhill since they replaced the original manager with a guy who seems to be interested in only biding his time until he retires. THAT won't happen soon enough...
$3.3 billion=drop in the bucket. It would be nice to have a drop from that drop, wouldn't it GG? Well, I'm still thankful for all we have.Walmart's sales were $472 billion last year. $3.3 billion is a drop in the bucket. They're just picking off a competitor and incorporating their online purchasing and distribution systems.

Not a waste. It's probably like an umbrella - it seems like you are less likely to need it if you have it.I hope neither of you ever need to use that EpiPen, GG. It would be the best waste of $40.
They'll do what they always do - they'll further exploit their workers.That means it probably does not bode well for those of you who love Jet.

My friend's daughter has been saved twice by her Epi-pen. Mind you, she gets it free on the National Health Service.I hope neither of you ever need to use that EpiPen, GG. It would be the best waste of $40.
Addie, can't you order on-line for home delivery? Most supermarkets, including the smaller ones, do it free of charge for orders over a certain value (about £60 is the cut-off for free delivery which sorts me out for a month when I use it). In fact one company delivers free for an order as little as £25 ($40-ish).The article that I read in the business section stated that Walmart wants to diversify. Their on-line sales are not as strong as they hoped they would be this past year. So since Jet is strictly for On-line shopping, they are hoping this will increase their on-line profit.
I have never been to a Walmart's. There is one up in Lynn on Route 107. I have friends that swear by them. There has been so much bad press over the years about them. I only shop at MB. Only because shopping really leaves me exhausted. It takes a lot out of me. I have noticed this past year, if I go somewhere, and have an appointment the next year, I just can't keep it. Two days in a row shopping is more than I can handle. And I will only consider shopping in stores with an electric cart.

The grocery store I go to doesn't have delivery.
GG, I love to grocery shop! I wonder if there is a job for me at Instacart. Aw, who am I kidding. I don't want to WORK work anymore!
