And fuck the Safeway Kroger merger but don't worry government has the average persons needs in mind

The FTC has sued to block the merger. The trial is over, judge yet to rule.

[PNWbrit]

The trial is over

Three week hearing regarding a preliminary injunction blocking merger pending full hearing before an in-house administrative law judge.

people better expect higher prices even from where we are now.

If we experience deflation we’re really fucked so better hope they do continue up.

This
1. There’s a scale under the bagging area. The unit weight of each sku is in the system. If something goes around the scanner into a bag, the scanner will stop until you get the weight right.

Seems like never taking certain items out of your cart would be the easiest method. But I'll bet most shoplifters just pull stuff off shelves and walk out with it.

You have to dumb it down for TGR.

YMMV but I find it easier to have a (very) little respect for a scum sucking dirt bag carpenter developer who takes what he wants

than some dirtbag who thinks the world owes him a living

Guess I forgot to mention the cameras over the self.checkout lanes that watch for this very tactic.

And yes most shoplifters never go thru the checkout line.

That ^^ IS the thing you don't know what they are looking for and what they see

today i was remembring a safeway in small town where i'm talking to a staff member, he points at an old lady and matter of factly tells me " that's mark-down-Mary, she steal food "

WTF sez I, do you call the cops ?

" well she is from the old folks home and she she doesn't steal much, just comes in every morning eats some produce and leaves "

they see everything and they see nothing cuz I had a manager once claim I hadnt been there, but he had walked by me a bunch times when i had a till completely torn apart wondering wtf i was gona do but he couldn't see me and somehow i was actualy pretty good at being invisible, I got it back together and GTF out of there eh

One grocery store I shop at frequently has resorted to checking everyone's receipt before they leave the store a la Costco. The amount of product that just walks out in Seattle has got to be staggering. I'd bet shoplifting has a small but not negligible affect on the price of groceries.

Buddy is a billionaire but he wore bad suits, he dressed like a car salesman from the 60's

Yup. Like he wanted to wear a suit base on a tartan pattern. From the 60’s. But always a smile and kind word. Dad was working an odd job at expo86 on those little ferries, and needed a ride back to his car, Jimmy pulled up and gave him a lift.

This is Robin Hood in reverse, shareholders’ profits coming straight out of consumer wallets. It is not a new phenomenon. In the 18th century, Adam Smith observed, “Our merchants and master-manufacturers complain much of the bad effects of high wages in raising the price… They say nothing concerning the bad effects of high profits.”

Come say that to my face. I’ve got nothing to lose.

Stealing is wrong.

Fact.

They are stealing from us. click on the links.

More from the Forbes article I linked above.

But consumers know something is rotten.

They check their receipts. They talk. They post online. They shop around. They know they are being ripped off. Despite the stream of misinformation from trade associations, industry analysts and economists, price gouging bans are supported by upwards of 80% of voters.

Price gouging was not in the abstract. It took food off of children’s plates and has made grocery shopping a Sophie’s choice of what families can afford. It is no wonder that despite expanded USDA efforts, food insecurity is still very high, affecting 27% of adults, and hunger affecting over 44 million people.

Point taken. Thanks, Kamala.

I can't imagine anything more stupid sounding than defending big corporate bullies that are stealing from the working class people of our country.
You sound like a....what is it that many say on these forums? Ah yes, a bootlicker.

Buzzworthy be like...
