Talk:Smart & Final

Latest comment: 1 year ago by 2603:8000:5000:E9D2:64B1:2782:9C6:AFCF in topic new corporate owner.

Conflicting research

edit

The following statement was included in the text without a reference: "Smart & Final is a Los Angeles based North American business founded in 1871 as "Hellman, Haas & Co.", which later changed its name to "Haas, Baruch & Co.", becoming "Smart & Final" in 1953. It deals in bulk food, beverages of all kinds, restaurant supplies, and cleaning products. Many of their customers operate independent restaurants or catering businesses." This conficts with the information found at

Would working at a Smart and Final be sufficient enough for a source?

Since an employee would be getting information (almost) firsthand? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kirbyrocks (talkcontribs) 15:34, 18 November 2010 (UTC)Reply

First sentence of History section

First sentence of History section looks like a third grader wrote it. What kind of encyclopedia is this? Maybe one of the Wikinazi control freaks out there that censor everything I do can actually do something worthwhile and repair this disgraceful article? 76.246.235.134 (talk) 23:01, 31 August 2011 (UTC)Reply

new corporate owner.

what is the point of adding info if overzealous editors like User:Materialscientist delete it. if one wiki article says it is owned by that company, then it should be across bodega latina no longer exists. how hard is it to look at one wiki article to make sure what is. if it is too much, look at the corporate page, it literally says they own it.

I know this edit won't last and will be reverted, but wikipedia is getting to the point where most article are no longer relevant or accurate. Unless you are willing to research yourself, why delete if you are not going to put any effort into it. But then again this is wikipedia where there are editors with over 1 million edits. 2603:8000:5000:E9D2:64B1:2782:9C6:AFCF (talk) 03:26, 23 November 2023 (UTC)Reply
