I used to go to Albertson's back in orange county, ca, but I have seen the light.  First, the prices, even Wal-mart has nothing on them, not to mention you don't have to walk through some ginormous crowd or wait in line to check-out.  Which brings me to my next point, the check-out is completely automated; finally, somebody has figured out I am capable of finding a bar-code, putting it up to the reader and, putting my item in the bag (although, the times I've been so far, one of the workers ran up and placed my items in for me!).  And they live up to their name!  Fresh and easy meals, ready to heat and serve, around $3 for the ones I've seen, sufficient variety, and they taste good.  They have even sold me on the up-sell, the complimentary items they place next to what you're looking for are not even annoying! Wow, they actually compliment what you're going to eat.  I never thought I'd ever be this stoked over a grocery store.  The only drawback I've seen is that it is only open till 10 pm (I'm a late worker).
