Updates

Well, the Kroger company emailed me back. They are very concerned (yadda yadda) about my angst regarding the Dillons at Meridian and Douglas closing.

"Dear Ms. Bass: Thank you for contacting the Dillons Co. We appreciate your feedback regarding the closing of the Meridian and Douglas store. It is never an easy decision when we must close a store and we realize the effect it has on many of our loyal customers. We apologize for any inconvenience caused and will relay your concerns to our regional office for review. Sincerely,Christie MetropulosConsumer AffairsReference: 4708610"

And regarding my input to KAKE about one of their news stories:

"Thank you Marianne,
I appreciate you watching and your views on the Etheredge story. We have been getting calls since the bankruptcy from viewers wanting us to find them and make sure they did not take millions of dollars and disappear. That is why we did the story. I'm sorry you feel we used sleazy news tactics. We don't believe we violated their privacy. We did not release exactly where they live or the name of the ranch they are working on. I can tell you we did what Cheryl asked us to do.
We are getting as many positive responses from the story as we did negatives.
Thanks again for watching,
Deb"

And finally, my blog about Charmin' toilet paper generated some comments. My brother went to the P & G website and attempted an email to company to let them know what he thought of them using "Hallelujah Chorus" to sell bathroom tissue, and apparently so did a lot of other people. As he was sending it, a window popped up which advised him that they had gotten so many complaints about it that they've taken the ad off the air, and substituted other music.

There ya go.

Yeah, there ya go. Sometimes (a la Charmin), complaints DO work. Maybe they'll work for the Dillons (but I"m not holding my breath).

Take millions of dollars and disappear? What a load of baloney. Besides, why would KAKE feel like it's their responsibility to be sure this ain't happening?
