Albertson's wins, in a way

Safeway stopped stocking Gerolsteiner brand of mineral water, which my wife considers the only mineral water suitable for drinking (Pelegrino? Bleah!). Fortunately, Albertson's continues to carry it. I do not like Albertson generally. First of all, I live closer to Safeway. Also, their cakes are worse, their bread is worse, and on and on and on. But at least the dreaded self-service counter system started to work more or less. Maybe I should give them a try for all specialty purchases.
