Don't they teach market research in business schools?

Do they realize how unpopular this is and week cost them market share?

My town has three stores, Kroger, Safeway, and Walmart. As one goes so go they all most likely on this one so idk how I’d even begin to think about avoiding this longer term…

I'm lucky enough to have a WinCo nearby, but I'm not sure how widespread they are

I've been to 47 states and a bunch of countries, I've never seen a winco

West coast thing and pretty scattered, pretty sure they are worker owned which is cool.

About 15 years minimum, they were pretty well established when I was 10 and now im 25.

Edit: im technically 24 but a month and some change is not that notable.
