The other supermarket I am aware of, and you can\u2019t miss it, is Ralphs. It\u2019s more a Wal-Mart strategist: occupy every corner of a place and make everybody else leaving. Seems economical aggressive, much and primarily in their own interest. Claiming quality at good price. But only if you are club member, otherwise it\u2019s pretty expensive. You see these coupon people searching the store for everything they can get cheaper, although they probably don\u2019t need it. And Ralphs is collecting data of all the club members to optimize the coupons. I was always wondering why people have no problem to accept Ralphs collecting private data from them. When the state is doing it there\u2019s protest\u2026It\u2019s more a middle class, conservative people environment, the shopping mall shoppers.<span>  <\/span>I am trying to avoid Ralphs as much as I can. I don\u2019t like the club member policy. I am in favor of the daffodil method. It\u2019s more personal, friendlier and I think more honest.
