I've been covering the story of closing grocery stores in California for a few months. This Albertsons was due for a 24th closure and I thought nothing of whipping out the camera and shooting the footage for my audience. Isn't important to share this information? Apparently management at this store are on edge about negative information getting out to the general public. Security escorted me out and then continued to follow me as I ordered a bottle water from a local donut shop. They continued to follow me for the next hour as I walked from shop to shop.

SoCal food prices hit 2-year high

Southern California consumers had to dig deeper into their pockets in January mostly due to food prices which hit a two-year high, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today.
Overall, the Consumer Price Index in the Orange County-Los Angeles-Riverside area rose 0.9% in January and was up 1.8% over the last 12 months. (Click on chart to enlarge.)

Nationwide, consumer prices increased 0.4% for the month and 1.6% over the last year.
SoCal food and beverage costs jumped 0.8% in January following a hefty 0.7% monthly increase in December. Year-over-year food and beverages prices were up 2.1% in January, the highest annualized increase since April 2009.
The rise in energy prices is also hitting consumers. Local transportation costs were up 4.1% in the last year with unleaded gasoline alone rocketing 10% over January 2009.
And motorists already know things have gotten worse since January. A gallon of unleaded gasoline costs $3.495 a gallon on average today, up from $2.937 a year ago, according to the AAA Fuel Gauge Report.


Albertsons said this week it would close its Pomona store, along with its Riverside and Sun City locations, adding to the list of recent closures by major grocery chains in the Inland Empire.
Ralphs at Fourth Street and Vineyard Avenue in Ontario is ceasing operations by late spring. A decade-old Vons in La Verne shuttered last month.

  • the real ass holes are the security what is the big deal video taping in a store no one will shop there no more anyway becouse albertsans sell pink slime

  • No wonder they are closing. They are very mean to customers. So is FRESH AND EASY! Don't shop there. I only shop at Trader Joe's. Cheaper prices and nicer workers!

  • In most countries if a private security guard followed you and you felt intimidated to the point where you didn't want to go to your car, you could call the police and have them arrested for threatening behaviour or harassment or something. (In the UK it would be a section 5 offence under the Public Order Act)

  • There must be 50 cameras in every shop these days filming you. So tell them to fuck off with double standards.

  • (somber patriotic music starts) And then out of the ashes comes the savior of America... cyborg superman. A venom mouthed preacher or imam is stabbed from the back through the chest with a pole with an american flag as if it were a spear.

    Superman: "If you'd seen darkness, you'd know it's not something to lead others into"

    We need a badazz superman movie like that, goshdanget!

  • Well, I just imagine what happen when USD decline dramatically and empty store shelves are everywhere.

  • 0:17 Save the Monster drinks!! Seriously, when TSHTF totally in this country, I'll look back with fondness and remember the blue Monsters I used to enjoy, oh, and the Bill of Rights I used to enjoy.

  • @avakaty What do you think Google does? It's called freedom.

  • Is this freedom America???
