I think this discount started in 2019. The only discount I got was when I was working night stock and they'd give us the leftover pizza. They actually had some decent pizza back in the day.
Hy-Vee's weirdest business decision yet?
- Thread starter JP4CY
- Start date
We used it a few times, most times nobody in the store knew what it was or how it worked.
Hy-Vee ends use of Scan & Go cashierless checkout app
Hy-Vee didn't say why it was shutting down the system. Previously, another grocery chain dumped its scan-and-go app, citing losses.www.desmoinesregister.com
The scan and go at Sam's Club is perfect on the other hand, can't imagine going through a check out line there.
Randy Edeker may be one of the worst executives in the history of central Iowa...

Never has anyone made "get your phone out" sound so complicated and cumbersome.
The HyVee house brand items blow Fareway and Wal Mart out of the water as far as quality goes. The Great Choice brand is REALLY hit and miss.
The HyVee I worked at offered like a $3.50 lunch form the deli that usually entailed a main dish, two sides, and a drink. I would wreck that meal every shift I worked.
He promised not to make any changes to their big supplier appreciation golf tournament too but guess what went away after Covid?
I'm always blown away at the # of people at Sams waiting in line at the checkout with phone in hand. I just want to scream at them to download the app but whatevs.
Years ago an expert on RFID technology predicted to me that thanks to RFID tags, someday we'd all just load items into our carts and walk out, getting charged for the contents of the cart without going through a checkout process. That was probably 2005-ish and it's kind of surprising to think we aren't there yet, even with some other form of technology. Amazon has some cashierless grocery stores and I think they license their technology, but AFAIK it hasn't caught on (yet) in any big way.
This has Fred Choobineh's finger prints all over it.
They still did this as recently as 2018, when I stepped away. Started in 2006 and it was the same meal you describe for $5, and when I left in 2018, it was reduced to 20% off a Market Grill or Chinese/Deli/Italian Express meal. A huge ripoff compared to what I had been buttered up to enjoy over the years. A year later I heard the store I retired from had gone back to $5 employee meals and now everyone receives a 10% discount, available anytime on anything aside from Alcohol/Lottery/Tobacco etc. Idk if it would ever be enough to lure me back to working those shite hours though.
You know what I'd like to see Hy-Vee do? Have more sales, specials, and ad inserts. Because when I visit their web site or app or check my email inbox (and occasionally my real mailbox), there just aren't enough sales going on at any one time. It's way too easy to figure out if what I want to buy is on sale at that particular moment.
There probably weren't any B-level celebs there for him to get his pic taken with.
People like to say this but I’ve seen nothing that leads me to believe they are struggling financially.
