If it doesn’t break, don’t fix it.
That’s my position in the most recent family struggle involving the market basket.
I don’t know who is right and who is wrong with this new Saga of the continuing family of Family. All I want is so market basket keeps what it is now – the best, cheapest supermarket chains everywhere.
No one wants to see one of the remaining advantages of living in Massachusetts becomes another building cowardly-dollar areas in the entire market basket.
“More for your dollar.”
Let’s keep this way, okay?
As it says that, when it comes to Arthur T. or his three brothers, I know you know which place I have.
Arthur T. acts like a dog. Ditto, his children. They are not “nothing like a person’s child,” says Bob Dylan.
At the beginning of the first market in the market in 2014, I don’t care much. There are no market baskets near my residence. People often progress in prices, but shops are too far away to check. But then the Waltham shop opened, and I saw the light.
The night opened it, I shopping there, goggle-eyed at low price. Arthur T. shows, and easily surrounded by his employees, they all love him.
A few years ago, they opened the package store at the next door, on a Saturday morning, when I do my shopping. You know who hangs, maybe even running the cash register? Son of Arthur, Ta.
Now Arthur and T TA are the same without being written, with a fee, as Madeline Madeline, I used to know the Fall River Store. On a Saturday. Start listening to a pattern here? These demouleses work night, and weekend. That’s how you keep a business going, from a generation to the next.
You can’t do fake good kids. And you can never be fake working kids.
Down in Florida, there is a good supermarket chain called Publix. When are snowbirds from New England talking to supermarkets while in Florida, always the conversation often:
“Publix? A little price, but not bad. But it’s not a market basket!”
There is one selective governor of Maine next year by simply saying he will bring in many market baskets than three or four they captured north of Topham.
As unpopular as Maine Gov. Janet Mills, a stone star compared to Hannaford, the big chain there. And don’t start over the whole wage, I mean all the foods.
Is there any nostalgia anything for any small chains? For example, the place I used to buy Somerville, Johnnie’s Noodmaster.
“You know, I really missed Johnnie’s food,” says no one.
Apparently the three sisters of Arthur T. control 60% of the stock of his 28%, concerned with his plans for the future. He was 70, and they were worried that he would make sure that one of his own children was successful as CEO.
And that’s a problem, how?
Is wrong with the current MB business model? According to the news accounts, Arthur T. and his brothers bought the other side of the family in 2014. They only took it a decade to pay $ 1.6 billion. That’s some good cash flows there.
The number of stores doubles, and we are now $ 7 billion annually. To change, what is the problem with here? The brothers had “representatives” on the chalkboard, which meant they were not hands – like Arthur T. and his children.
Like all market baskets in the market, I feel like a stake in this fight. Which, low price.
Every summer, when I go to Cape, I will always do my big MB store at Sagamore Bridge. A stop, save a hundred bucks. And it opens these about 6:30 – I know that the official time starts at 7 am, but if you’re a regular you know how early you get in.
I came back from Florida and as usual led straight to market basket # 79. Everyone has its own favorite products. I like the Belo Shortbread Cookies in MB.
And Turkey Pastrami – $ 5.99 only a pound. Please don’t tell me it’s not healthy – the doctor told me I don’t have enough sodium nitrate.
How’s my favorite Cuban coffee – Café Busteelo? The 36-ounce content of Publix is $ 21.99. At Waltham, I pay $ 16.99. It increases, fast.
Another thing about market basket so you can always buy local. I can support my own radio-show advernisers.
On Saturday, I took a quart of Clam Chowder to Captain Parker from West Yearhouth. Then I got a frozen cape café Pepphoni Bar Pizza from Brockton.
Try to buy any local products in, say, “by Aldi. And MB has no charge in bags. They have shopping carts. You don’t have to check yourself.
Like everyone shop there, I just didn’t expect it wasn’t good to happen in the market basket. More for your dollar – and they don’t pretend. At least today.
Please, all members of the Family Demoulas, I ask you.
If it doesn’t break, don’t fix it.
