I was into Kirin at one point however now Asahi (and Heineken-always) is my beer of choice.
It just tastes better.
I'll buy Kirin only if it's on sale at Marukai or Daiei.

yeah Kirin is good too, but i'd go for Asahi first.
don't think we have a Daiei market here in CA, is it like Marukai mkt?

Yeah, you guys don't have a Daiei.
It's a lot larger than Marukai. Not a warehouse like Costco and Sam's Club though......

Daiei most likely won't be expanding anymore. The parent company in Japan is almost or if not, bankrupt already. Not to mention the founder died last week....

I don't think Marukai will be around in the long term. They treat the employees like crap and don't know when to hire new employees when the old employees quit. After I left, 5 people followed. Did they hire anyone? No. After around 4 more people quit, only then did they decide to put an ad in the paper. (And keep in mind that this was only for the dept that I was working in). No one got raises this past year because the store's profit was crappy. Actually, it was a negative.
Less employees equals more labor for existing employees. Which also equates to a lower quality customer service because whoever is left over is doing 2 jobs at once. No wonder people don't renew their membership and/or don't come as frequently as they used to. Kind of hard on customers when there's only 2 cashiers in the store............... :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

They ain't gonna do that as long as the VP is who he is.
Heck, that guy is so stingy that when we had demos at the store, he told us to use expired shit as ingredients. ....I guess it's stuff that the vendors don't give credit for. :rolleyes:

and I'M SERIOUS.

I was very shocked when I heard that.
He's a dumbass. They could lose a lot more money than vendor credits for expired food/ingredients if someone got sick and took this stuff to the Dept of Health. Imagine how much someone could get for a suit regarding this?
This guy has to stop thinking of things in the short run and from his ass.

:lol: but he's probably short, thus, the distance from the floor to his ass is the shortest route for him to "dump" on those around him.

Is all of the above an option? :woot:

@qilver: I drove by the Daiei in Honolulu by accident. It does look big and they have full page ads in the newspapers. But alas, I didn't step inside.

good answer.

Not sure what to eat

i have yang chow fried rice topped with a baked parma cheese & spinach topping heating in the oven now.

I'd cook rice but I don't want Sweet butter in the rice.

Just finished a nice bowl of chili with beans over white rice and some sharp cheddar cheese melted on top. yummy! :)

:( I might go eat some corn.

I'm eating a Mounds.
