KTA/Toby had to know I was on their mailing list to receive their sale/coupon book each month...Let's feature Raley's products in our book...

Recently, I noticed KTA Stores selling Raley's brand and immediately thought this was a great opportunity to raise money for the fire victims of Lahaina. Then I had a second thought on how easy it would be to sell Charles Nordby's book "Raley's Exposed, Who On Earth Saved Raley's?" right next to Raley's brand located at the KTA stores. All that KTA would need to do is place a book rack next to Raley's products located in the aisle and sell Nordby's book there. And you won't believe it-I mustered up a third thought in my head to add hot beverage mugs along with cute little Super Toby Dolls, if somehow made available, to this fundraising idea. ALL PROCEEDS WOULD GO TO THE FIRE VICTIMS OF LAHAINA.

Then suddenly, after I had awakened from my daily over-70 senior nap on a recent Friday afternoon, I was squarely hit on the side of the head with this crazy notion that maybe I have it all wrong. Could there be a possibility that KTA/Toby is carrying Raley's brand as a means to just send a clever and direct message to me in some, crazy and unprofessional way? Like, suppose for a moment, that Toby wants to provide Raley's Mike Teel a sort of camaraderie and a sympathetic support of Raley's/Teel's because KTA is aware of all the (postcard) attacks Mike Teel/and Raleys continuously receive from me via my website an/or postcards I send out via USPS in addition to what my brother Jack sends out. And maybe Toby doesn't even consider the fact that Charles Nordby went through a terrible fraud committed by these clowns. With the fact that KTA/Toby requires all store employees to be fully vaccinated, as a condition of employment, with a vaccine that is not safe tells me that he couldn't give a shit (excuse my choice of words), about what Charles Nordby went through being defrauded by the cheats at Raley's.

However, perhaps even in a more crazier way, Toby (apparently a staunch democrat in Hawaii and possibly looking to prove himself as such), is also aware of my cute 5X8 postcards I occasionally send through the USPS mail pointing out the craziness of Hawaii's new Governor Josh Green, and all the other political crap I can think of to send out on a boring Saturday afternoon while being held up in my little Volcano enclave...and...so...if he has heard of me then this would be an easy way for him to sling-shot political lava-rocks into my eyes from a distance by carrying Raley's 303-size-canned-food-stuff. Hey, I've been around the block so many times before as to actually believe anything is possible in this crazy world.

It appears by the fact that I have not received any response, zilch, from Toby/KTA since leaving my information with KTA Grocery Manager "Brian", their silence tells me they apparently have no interest in assisting the Lahaina fire victims, which would also provide a great story for their customers to learn about the Great American-RIPPED OFF...or for KTA taking advantage of a rare opportunity to expose Raley's as the frauds that they truly are right on one of KTA's Super Stores high trafficked grocery store aisles. So, WOW, I have come to believe I am just wasting my time and this is nothing but a Crazy Frank, 72-year-old Senior Citizen Wild Pipe Dream...while he is trying to keep busy in an extra protected souped-up Depend diaper. LOL

OK, so it took me some time to properly assess this situation. I now get it, Toby/KTA is just providing a safe haven for Raley's here in Hawaii. They can do what they want with Raley's brand but basically in my opinion it is KTA/Toby's way to slap Charles Nordby, truth and justice squarely in the face.

Oh Dear, one of my KTA postcards didn't reach its destination:

KTA is providing Raley's brand a place on their shelves where they might be able to actually sell especially if this product isn't able to sell on Raley's shelves...now that makes costly sense. However, it's possible KTA has removed Raley's products and are no longer being sold in their stores. I don't know, I haven't been inside of a KTA store for a long time to find out.

Now, the article above states that the expired goods were in the "over the counter drug/baby formula," area of the store. Is this entirely true? Many of the Raley's stores are empty of shoppers as featured in the photographs below. Where is the business? In today's world, sales representatives representing products usually do their own store checks on their products to remove expired products. So, why was there an investigation going on in Raley's stores? It must have been a huge problem going on at Raley's stores to justify these kinds of monetary settlements.

If Raley's grocery/meat/produce/deli, etc. aren't doing enough sales to move the products off of Raley's shelves and Raley's isn't doing a good enough job by manually removing expired products from the selves of these other categories, then is the news media information about Raley's seen above totally accurate? I don't know.

And if the corrupt news media is willfuly keeping information from the public about the totality of the expired goods being found on Raley's shelves throughout the Raley's stores, are they trying to protect Raley's reputation by downplaying the amount of expired goods that were on the shelves throughout their stores that could ultimately have a negative impact on Raley's business? I don't know...but that seems to be par for the course with the corrupt news media of today.

Now look at how empty the Raley's stores are in Sacramento:

So, my point being is why were the KTA stores providing shelf space for Raley's brand products inside of their stores? Was KTA trying to assist Raley's in more ways than just spitting on the name of Charles Nordby's by placing Raley's brand on their shelves and then promoting the items within their coupon books? I don't know but what I do know is that there is something really fishy going on at Raley's...AGAIN

MAYBE TOBYDO AND MICHAELPOO ARE KEEPING IT ALL A SECRET

Now, below is a picture of a Raley's location that the dishonest Bee placed at the top of their article about Raley's and Raley's ongoing problem with expired products sitting on their shelves. I am surprised that Raley's is still open for business...well in many ways---they are not.

https://www.sacbee.com/news/business/article304818021.html

In the image above, The Sacramento Bee claimed to its readers that this aerial view of a shopping center was taken on Tuesday, December 17, 2024. This photo highlighted a Raley's store located on Freeport Boulevard in Sacramento. However, this store was closed years earlier and moved to a different location not too far from this location.

So, The Sacramento Bee is using outdated images of Raley's shopping center, in December, 2024, to paint a picture that Raley's is a busy store...and is this photo above that the Bee used, even real? I don't know. It might look real to any delusional walking the streets in Sacramento (and there are plenty of them, especially at the State Capital). Below is the actual location photo of Raley's Freeport store and clearly shows that this is not the same shopping center. The Bee Nathaniel Levine should apply for a job at Raley's...he could probably get the CEO position.

AI info below:

The image is a screenshot of an article from The Sacramento Bee about a new Raley's supermarket location.

The article mentions that two new businesses, Chuze Fitness and Ace Hardware, are slated to occupy the former Raley's grocery store location on Freeport Boulevard in Sacramento's Land Park neighborhood.
The old Raley's store closed in 2020 when a new flagship store opened a block north.
The new Ace Hardware store will fill a void left by the closure of Hollywood Hardware in February 2023.

The deception from the corrupt news media is just mind boggling. Even more mind boggling is the fact that KTA\Toby would want to associate with these frauds from CA. by agreeing to have Raley's products placed on their shelves. I guess they can do what they want.

Is Toby the real deal and the Superman of the grocery business or is he just another Jim Teel? And based on everything you see above about Toby's incredible talents, he should be able to clearly present to everyone how wearing a face mask inside his stores will protect his customers from contracting the covid-19 virus-with scientific evidence; how standing six feet apart while standing in front of his stores and while shopping in his stores will protect his customers from contracting the Covid-19 virus-with scientific evidence; and how taking the Covid-19 vaccine will protect his employees and their health-with scientific evidence and peer review.

Here is the simple truth about operating a grocery store at a profit. If you have good sound policies in place; if you have grocery prices lower than your competitors; if you have dependable and honest employees; if you have a competent management team with a winning attitude...anybody can successfully operate a grocery store....let's face it, people need to eat and if you have a building available that can provide a lot of food for people, you should succeed. This isn't rocket science.

However, in Hawaii, price gouging is such a common practice (because of probable greed), it's possible that if grocery stores would lower their gross margins, they could still make a great profit and give the food consumers better prices. But, because most stores are probably incurring tremendous losses because of theft and mismanagement (Foodland has a lot of shoplifters), they write off those losses in the form of higher prices for their shoppers.

That was Charles Nordby's unique technique for improving profits for grocers. Make sure the store is being managed competently at every level-as most stores are not; stop the theft going on (internal and external)-most stores haven't got a clue; then lower your greedily high prices below the competition to increase sales. It's a simple outline to follow and your profits will shoot through the sky while giving your honest shoppers good honest prices. However, Charles Nordby was a rarity because he knew everything about the grocery business, plus, he knew how to catch all of the clever ways vendors, suppliers, employees and people could steal...and if you can't do that then you will surely die a slow death and it's not uncommon for stores to put a "going out of business sign" on their front doors like Raley's would have done back in 70s had they not hired Charles Nordby because this entire chain of stores was lacking top management experience and theft was certain to bankrupt them...no doubt!

This banana price was questioned back in 2010 when I first
came to Hawaii and I had to check into this.

being so much higher in Hawaii than the rest of the world-prove it.

Now, thinking about all of this stuff concerning price gouging, maybe it's why Hawaii offers a food tax credit for incomes less than $50,000-$30,000 if you are single, (it should be raised to $300,000-LOL)...maybe Hawaii's way to subsidize the price gouging going on for our free enterprise system that has a huge impact on those individuals with low income jobs. Plus, Hawaii taxes everything, including food, so that's a reality giving the State of Hawaii the highest cost of living of all the States.

More than eight out of every 10 Hawaii residents took the covid-10 vaccine and for this reason the corrupt Hawaii news media
will not put out any negative information about the covid-19 vaccine. Everyone was told that this vaccine was safe
to take and it would protect you from getting the covid-19 virus. Just a terrible lie being told to the gullible public.

I think KTA and Toby need to stop listening to the corrupt CDC, HDH and Hawaii Propaganda Radio. But they are staunch democrats who appear to like being dictators. The covid-19 vaccine is a disaster. They are requiring their employees to get this vaccine...just unbelievable. KTA/Toby-prove that the vaccines are safe to take. You can't because they aren't. They can't even protect you from getting the virus. It's all a sham and businesses like yours is pushing this nonsense. I have to wonder if businesses are getting kickbacks from the corrupt government to continue pushing this vaccine nonsense and make it all seem legitimate.

Please, don't get me wrong, having good hygene practices is great for a business but that idea has been around forever. But what hasn't been around forever is this obsessiveness going on with vaccines...oh, yeah, there is money to be made with vaccines. And this idea of the sick staying home or whatever,,,well duh, that has been a practice for years,too. I got the flu in 2000 that kept me from running the CA International Marathon...yeah, I didn't run the race and I stayed home. It's called common sense and it doesn't require dictators to tell you to stay 6ft apart which did nothing to stop the transmission...LOL

Check out the article below about the Foodland store. Foodland required facemasks and vaccines too. Employees should sue their employers for this nonsense. They were forcing people to put a vaccine substance into their body that has been shown to be harmful to do...my older sister died shortly after receiving the much recommended vaccine.

"At least one Maui retail giant is serious about complying with proposed federal mandates that companies with more than 100 employees must meet mandatory COVID-19 vaccination requirements.

According to Sheryl Toda, Vice President of marketing and corporate communications for Foodland Supermarkets LTD, the company is poised to do just that.

“All employees except those who have an approved exemption are required to be vaccinated by Nov. 8, 2021,” she said. “Our company had been discussing requiring employee vaccinations prior to President Biden’s announcement (on Sept. 9), but knowing we would need to comply with the federal mandate gave us even more reason to move forward. In addition, in a recent company survey, the majority of employees supported a vaccination requirement. At Foodland, we believe the COVID-19 vaccination is an important way to keep our community safe.”

Toda said Foodland has approximately 490 employees on Maui. She said those employees who choose not to get vaccinated and do not have an approved exemption will lose their jobs.

Other major retailers who face potential changes in updated rules include Safeway, Lowe’s, Home Depot, Target, and Costco among others.

*Clarification: The US Department of Labor is in the process of developing a rule for businesses with 100 or more employees. Such a rule has not been finalized."

Foodland's internal survey was probably "aka" intimidation of losing your job survey if you don't say yes.

President Biden didn't have the authority to mandate vaccines on all Americans. Above, Foodland stated they believed the COVID-19 vaccination is an importnat way to keep the community safe.

CORRECTION FOODLAND- THE COVID-19 VACCINATION DID NOT KEEP THE COMMUNITY SAFE AND DESTROYED A LOT OF PEOPLE'S LIVES.

The great thing about America is that the constitution gives all of us legal citizens voting rights. In addition to that, we all have the right to financially support those individuals we would like to see in a representative position. What troubles me, though, is when arrogant people believe other American citizens don't have the right to decide what should go into their bodies and that their role in society is to dictate to others what they believe others should be putting into their bodies. Knowing that KTA/Toby Taniguchi requires employees to be fully vaccinated with vaccines, that have been shown with scientific studies, to be harmful, is very troubling and makes me believe he is paddling in the same boat as those who could easily be looked upon as being nothing but dictators.

Where in the constitution does it state that a person should be forced to put a dangerous vaccine substance into their body to keep employment? It doesn't. Especially a vaccine that over time has harmful side effects that are potentially deadly, and this vaccine has never been proven to be safe. It appears KTA/Toby doesn't care about information like this as he seems to be more concerned with appeasing the policy makers in Oahu, HDH and federal government agencies like the CDC...an agency that should be shut down because of its political stances and recommendations that truly are detrimental and questionable to the safety of the public. Does KTA/Toby, Foodland and other businesses pushing vaccines onto all of their employees receive monetary incentives to get all employees vaccinated?

I guess when people are dining out with other people like themselves, who appear to easily develop a disdain for the common person, they can smile and thumb their noses at the rest of us while riding on their high end, after dinner carousel, feeling like they are superior and above the rest of us...in which they are not.

Imagine thinking you have the right to poke your dinner fork into another person's eye all in an effort to dismiss the constitution and proudly show you couldn't care less about the benefits it provides to all of us. Eventually, what you end up getting is a very well planned out gourmet dinner, that was prepared many years ago by the great founders of this country, being picked apart by dictators who think the constitution infringes on their ability to control others and should be dumped into a garbage can like a plate of chicken bones from a party of eight...along with its supply of wilted old parsley.

Sadly, these dictators have shown by their callousness that they would even make sure the unvaccinated were never allowed to eat from the dinner table simply because they weren't willing to give up their rights and succumb to a potentially deadly vaccine injection.

KTA/Toby, putting your politics aside, please prove with scienctific studies, and with peer review, that the vaccines are safe for anyone to take and won't cause a fatal reaction. If you can't then you should cease and desist with your employer demands that you have placed on your workforce...yeah, I know, if they don't want to do what we (KTA) ask them to do, then they can get a job somewhere else. Well, people can shop somewhere else too.

I do not support any candidate with my money- republicans, democrats or any other party as I believe politics in America is totally corrupt and the corrupt news media ends up with a lot of the donated money. However, the mere fact he only supports the democratic party, which I believe has a higher propensity to believe the constitution is bad for America and should be tossed into a garbage can like a plate of wilted old parsley, I can see why he wants to dictate to his employees that they should put a harmful vaccine into their bodies as a KTA condition of employment.

Below represent individuals who are officers of K. TANIGUCHI, LTD. If any of them donated to a political candidate, which there were a few, they gave money only to a democrat.

Below represent his father's political donations...all to democrats. RIP.

Note: Today's democratic party is not the democratic party of our parents or grandparents.

I have to believe that this guy Toby Taniguchi is establishing himself for a political future. Yeah right-just what Hawaii needs...another freedom hating democrat who would just love to utilize their dictatorship skills and put it to good use and destroy Hawaii. YOU MUST GET A VACCINE...no ifs, ands or buts. At least the drug dealer standing in front of the liquor store gives the people the choice to take his poison. LOL

There are many studies and reports coming out showing that the covid-vaccine is really harmful and really bad for many people...

So why would any employer require a vaccine as a condition of employment when the young and all healthy people have a 99+ % rate of recovering from contracting this virus like any flu or cold? Are employers/businessess receiving compensation for this requirement? Heck, natural immunity was going to beat this virus for any healthy person. This was all done to get all of the people vaccinated no matter how negative of an impact to the people's health.

And below, Elon Musk puts his own two cents into the fray:

The CDC; many State Health Departments; many State Governments; along with the assistance from the corrupt news media in the total bamboozling of the public. Absolutely no proof of any of their claims as they just seem to make it all up and then they forced the public to adhere to this nonsense that had damaging effects on the people's lives.

Below are the suitcases full of documents that holds all the proof you need-

Does KTA/Toby believe the FACEMASK information below is just BULLSHIT?

Looking at the above information, were they mandating the useless facemasks in order to keep everyone sick and keep the phony pandemic going on and on and on and on? We live in a very evil world...and the big question is: when do the trials begin?
