I think this is exceedingly irresponsible. They were the ones to create a situation of distrust, yet demand that I trust them. And in this case, trust them when I know them to lie.
Well, Ralph's and Smith's are both owned by Kroger, so don't be surprised.
Trader Joes? LOL In Walmartkansas? We don't even have a Costco.
