It is always easy to say that the merchant has done you a wrong by
discontinuing a program. However, when you look at weather a merchant is
going to stay in business or not, then you would understand the
reasoning behind eliminating a discount. Today's grocery competitiveness
between Kroger, HEB, Fiesta, Walmart, Sam's Club, Randalls makes it
difficult to turn a profit. You would think that everything in a store
is 100% markup.
I still remember back when Kroger and HEB had an agreement not to go
into each others market. Now they are warriors battling for your dollar.
I would much rather see a merchant do away with a discount than go out
of business. Personally, I hate Kroger, their Nolan Ryan meat is
terrible. I have now purchased two different packages. Steaks about 4
years ago that I BBQ'd and a round roast we purchased yesterday. They
were as tough as shoe leather, just awful. I prefer the Randalls Angus
Beef and there are no Randalls near my new house. It's a trip back to
Pete's Meat Market on Richmond near the Galleria next time we need a
good steak.

For those who shop at Kroger, they have curtailed their senior
discount on Kroger Brand items as of this past weekend. If you want to
