	Albertsons - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Albertsons was founded by Joe Albertson in 1939 in Boise, Idaho.
		When Joe Albertson was considering putting a new store in a town, he would drive around the town and look for neighborhoods with lots of children's clothing hanging on clotheslines; he knew that those kinds of neighborhoods were where he wanted to build his stores.
		Albertsons was the area's third top grocer before Kroger exited the market in mid-1993 when it closed its 15 area stores.

	RALEY'S EXPOSED! - ALBERTSONS (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Albertsons' was either giving away their profits through their "free if it scans higher than the self price program" or they were pleasing their shoppers with outrageous lower prices than what the item was priced on the shelf.
		Albertsons' scan department was an embarrassing pathetic joke...In fact, in my opinion, the only person qualified to do a scan coordinators job was somebody who had taken a large dose of LSD and didn't mind going around in circles all day long.
		Albertsons' paid the scan coordinator the same wages as they did the cashier checkers and you couldn't find one competent store director (because they were all incompetent) capable of doing this asinine job properly.
