“I am here to vent over the fact that the largest Kosher supermarkets in the Catskills have decided to stop using price-tags on 99% of the items in their stores.”
I can not comment on this statement since I only shop at one of the largest Kosher supermarkets in the Catskills. Since I only shop at one, I can not make a general claim about the largest kosher supermarkets. The store I shopped in this past Friday, and again yesterday, had prices posted on the shelves, and also had a price check scanner in the store. If I wished to know the price of any item, I only had to check the shelf or use the scanner.
I am sorry you had a frustrating experience shopping at this store (these stores?), but to take a swipe at all of the largest kosher supermarkets in the Catskills, is simply wrong ethicly, and probably halachicly too. In the meantime, adopt some of the suggestions offered here, or shop elsewhere.
