Albertson's buys Safeway because Safeway is doing better than Albertson's.
Then Albertsons runs wild, re-doing Safeway to their Albertson's models, rather than re-doing Alberson's to how Safeway was doing business more profitably
I find it hysterical, and so indicative of many of our Corporations at this time.
A senior pilot with United thirty years ago told me that every time a new CEO takes over at an airline, the first thing he has done is an entire new color scheme and logo to show HE is in charge now. He described what was entailed in the paint stripping and repainting of just ONE plane and the cost. Plus all their printed materials, signs, etc etc etc had to be re done.......He said no wonder the airlines were always going broke......
He felt American was the smartest airline for having the aluminum, without paint, and only their company name painted on......He told me that not only was it cost efficient compared to the paint costs on other aircraft, but that the paint added HUNDREDS of pounds to the aircraft's weight, and that American was able to increase their freight because of not adding that paint weight, which in turn increased their profits!!!!!
