Kroger

We can go round and round on this all we like, but it's not going to change the fact that Crest holds itself out to consumers as a discounter. Perhaps you haven't visited enough middle-market grocers.

I'm not trying to go round and round with you. Just think you're a little bit off base when classifying Crest. The tier of a grocery store, IMO, has a lot more to do than just pricing. It's also about customer service, cleanliness, services offered, etc. Im 99% certain that I've been in many more grocery stores than you have low-end to high-end. My wife and I used to exclusively shop at Tom Thumb, and when comparing it to the Norman Crest, place was a dump.
