To Rusty. YES, I do ask them if they were customers at MB and their reply is yes I can't find things here.. Also one person stocking shelves worked for Nabisco and informed me she normally stock MB and has to do Hannafords. I talk to people.

It's hard to tell at the Nashua Hannaford. Just when this all started they had just begun reworking the store here.
So even the regular Hannaford customers are lost.
What they did to get extra help was at first bring in Vendors with special jackets saying they can help you find what you want. Then they brought in employees from outside the area that do not have MBs near them, mostly from Maine and New York.

There is a lot of joking about how far away you have to park to get to the store, people are calling it the " Market Basket Customer Exercise program".

My nephew came in from Utica, New York (works for Hannaford there) to a MA store for one day. They paid him overtime. They also paid his travel expenses, for a hotel room, and meals. INSANE!

As I see this, people believe they have no other choice. If ASD stays in control, MB won't be worth shopping at or working for. Vendors are dropping off because the current management team doesn't know what it is doing.

Even if ATD comes back, there has been a lot of damage done to the business and money lost. Taking on debt to finance a buyout might require negative changes to the business.

I have read a little more history of the battle and ATD's father was a real piece of work. I can understand the animosity better. But it was insanity by the judge to give a controlling interest to the part of the family that hadn't run the business.
