    CHAT Who has "theories" or who knows HT employees and get "inside scoops?" And what is next?

    Let's hear some theories, or actual reasons if you know them, on why HT suddenly had triples. They have not had triples in a long time.

    Possible reasons:
    1. They are going to start having triples more often.
    2. They wanted to try it one more time, to see if the whole thing, of triples is worth it to them.

    I have two very good $1.50/1 coupons.

    Has anyone heard the rumor that SD's will be next week, or the week after?

    There was a rumor that SD's was gone forever.
    Is this triples their way of saying good-bye to it all, or the beginning of something good for all of us?

    Go HT.......

    I don't believe they will eliminate super doubles, and it wasn't that along ago they had almost back to back triples/super doubles (two normal weeks between the two). In fact here are the dates of their events that I have handy...

    2/16/11 SD's
    3/23/11 SD's
    4/27/11 SD's
    5/18/11 Triples
    6/22/11 SD's

    My store manager told me last week that SD was coming either the week following triples or the week after that. When he told me he was pretty certain that SD's was coming- just not sure which week.

    I believe the false rumor that started a little while back was that there would be no more SD or Triples. And here we are.
    My guess is another event soon to follow this one, based on what I heard, and then back to normal schedule.
    Who knows, maybe they needed a little boost. Like a grocery stimulus. Get people back into the store. Maybe sales were sluggish. I'm just happy to do my part in whatever it is they're trying to accomplish.

    The manager that gives me all the info on that stuff was not working today when I was there. I was hoping to run into him so I could ask about that very thing. Anyway, I'm going again tomorrow so I should see him and will ask. If it is going to happen, my guess it will be the week of the 28th, he should know about it by now.

    When you look around at the markets that HT competes in, they lead the pack in offering the most ways to save (ZVR's, which are stackable with paper coupons, doubles daily, super doubles periodically, triples periodically, etc).

    And I've yet to see another chain top them on overall customer service consistently, or store cleanliness either. And community involvement (support in local crisis issues or donations to area schools/groups).

    They have my loyalty based on a number of markers.

    I Love HT but since I got a Earth Fare which is along the lines of Whole Foods, I have kinda been shopping there, though I haven't made it there in 2 weeks...I have only been going to HT once or twice a week lately-not sure they miss me anyway, it isn't like I spent a whole lot there...All the white shirts and managers got switched a bunch of new cashiers...things change and make me feel less loyal because of that. Though if I didn't like all my white shirts (which there is one I don't and of course he stayed) then I might have looked forward to them leaving but they always seem to move the good ones quickly and leave the not so friendly ones.

    QUESTION re: Who has "theories" or who knows HT employees and get "inside scoops?" And what is next?

    I have heard SD(s) for w/o 09/28/11 too from my sources. I am guessing that HT will offer SD(s) at the end of the month since Bloom stores are doing SD(s) on the 1st of every month to compete.

    An employee actually posted somewhere on here that they are doing 2 events this month. Maybe they can repost here?
