Appalling lack of education for the younguns these days lol.

No, "Kennywood's Open" has been and shall remain a cherished form of embarrassing someone without actually saying it.

For as physically large some of the stores are, they are also kinda lacking in variety in some areas. What I can’t buy at Aldi, I’ll stop at GE, but then I end up still having to go to Trader Joe’s, Fresh Thyme, and/or Whole Foods (last resort). And then there’s those few items I can only get at Las Palmas and Pita Land (how is it literally no one else sells a decent pita and baba?). I’d pay a tad more for some things if it meant I didn’t have to run all over town. Aldi would always be stop #1 though.

I hate Giant Eagle with all of my heart. I’m from Akron, Ohio originally and we have a local grocer (Acme), and a local organic grocer (Market Seed). Up in Cleveland you have Dave’s (also local), Heinen’s (local luxe grocer), and Giant Eagle throughout the metro. it’s crazy how competition drives down prices while making for a pleasant shopping experience. I feel like the FTC needs to get involved in PGH because grocery shopping here is like being extorted.
