We haven't figured out a better way to buy the same 30 items every two weeks? Tech bros, get on it.
I just want a pleasant experience, not feel like I'm being tricked and get out ASAP
Yesss, cheap staple foods and the odd box of Lithuanian jelly cookies or whatever.
also, their offbrand Cheezits(Savorite? or something like that) are the closest to tasting like real cheezits. Although the only Cheezits that matter now are Extra Toasty.
Be extra chill with the employees, there's only like 3 to deal with the whole store at any given time.
their barcode setup and speed of their checkout scanning machines is pretty amazing. they really do have it down to a science. i saw they are offering pickup now and i hope to fuck they hired more people for that.
ah fuck did i just praise capitalism a little bit
we need to (ironically) start lynching all the maskless people crowding grocery stores because it's been a long day, I'm hungry and i drive by to see a bunch of wheezing pink fats breathing all over the food. Plodding, panting sweat hams turned me off my appetite anyway, sloughing their bodily debris all over my supper.
I'm hungry and crabby and I'm using irony to vent. This would sound really weird in a courtroom context.
whoa you got cookies and have a cat? gonna have to cut those two out, poor people aren't allowed to have joy. cat food is expensive though, that was half your bill maybe.
I hate the "we've donated $X to local organization" that whole food has. It's such a self-aware propaganda grift. Definitely not mentioning the millions of dollars in profits going straight to Jeffy Bezzies pockets
Harris teeter is your first problem there, skipper. they mark up so much as the luxury chaib
I've tried ordering online and find it just as tedious (or more so) than running thru the actual store
working at grocery stores sucks too. it's like retail misery combined with factory and warehouse work in one. only good thing is it's semi-stable despite economic ups and downs because people need to eat. food should be free for all who need it... the shit we throw away or give to corrupt food banks (our local ones just take all the good stuff for personal use) could feed our whole town easily.
I find I have good experience going to smaller and independent stores. Like, I love going to a fruit market twice a week to pick up fresh fruits and vegetables. It takes only a few minutes, and I don't have to worry about making a ginormous load and trip. And it's cheaper.
Then the things that aren't fresh f+v I can get at the grocery every two weeks or even longer because it's non perishables.
I hate going in almost any store, it sucks so bad.
You know how annoying advertising is? Well now consider that stores purposefully create their labyrinthine layouts to waste as much of your time as possible and expose you to as much products as possible hoping you will impulse buy a bunch of bullshit.
...How walmart extracts so much value from checkout clerks that "the time wasted" by them to bend down and pick up a penny that fell to the floor is a "value loss" to walmart corporate because that second is "worth more" to check out more people, faster, than picking up the coin
