Re: Giant eagle jumping on the bandwagon.
You either have a right or you do not.
If you loose your right because of a knuckle head....
You never had a right in the 1st place ..... you had a privilege.
The "not preferring" ... or "banning" open carry is a stone throw away from banning or not "preferring" any carry.
On personal property you have a right .... as I have a right to enter or not.
.......... and I rarely open carry .....very rarely.
Doesn't mean I like a fella who thinks one should not.
Because that too , is my right.

Re: Giant eagle jumping on the bandwagon.
Given the amount of gas I use (my Subarus don't drink that much and I'm single), I don't save enough to offset how much more Giant Eagle costs for groceries. Costco or Sam's Club is a better way for me to save money on gas. Aldi and Kuhns are my usual grocery store stops.
Though I do prefer GetGo over Sheetz.

Re: Giant eagle jumping on the bandwagon.
Giant Eagle is a Jewish owned business, so you know how they feel about defense against a government that would round you up, gas you, and throw your corpse in a ditch...
Or at least you'd THINK they would be against that, but...I called to check my ZIP CODE!....DY-NO-MITE!!!

Re: Giant eagle jumping on the bandwagon.
We have Price Rite and ALDI up here in Erie. And Giant Eagle. Prices at Giant Eagle are anywhere from 20 to 50% higher on most items, even store brands. I just use the pharmacy at Giant Eagle. Rarely buy groceries there. No way does the fuel perks even come close to make up for the higher prices.

Re: Giant eagle jumping on the bandwagon.
I think it's the politics of the owners, not their religion.
Meet some pro gun Jews.

Re: Giant eagle jumping on the bandwagon.
Here's my math on all of it...
Let's assume a gas price of $3/gallon. That means it takes 30 fuel perks (at 10 cents each) to get $0/gallon. At $50 worth of groceries per fuel perk, that means you need $50*30 = $1500 worth of groceries to have your gas bill be free. When you use your fuel perks, you can get at most 30 gallons, or 30*$3 = $90. That means you get $90 worth of gas for free every $1500 you spend on groceries, which works out to $90/1500 = 6%.
That means that, if you can get groceries elsewhere for more than 6% cheaper than Giant Eagle, you save money even considering the loss of fuel perks. And really, it's a little bit less than 6%, since you can still get 3 cents off per gallon without spending a penny at Giant Eagle.
All of the supermarkets around here that aren't Giant Eagle (except for Whole Foods), are cheaper by a lot more than 6%. The one thing that comes to mind is steak (I'm a NY Strip guy). Giant Eagle had these sad, thin looking things for $14/pound. Aldi had thicker looking steaks with better marbling for less than $10/pound.
