"Muh Soviet in a supermarket" story in 2023? My comment was also about McDonald's in the USSR, so they're feeling super exceptionalist over fast food slop.

Someone posted a bunch of pictures from the Soviet Union a while back. Their grocery stores looked just like grocery stores anywhere, except the Soviets apparently didn't give a fuck about facing (lining goods up to the front of the shelf) (they weren't wrong).
I remember my first job was in a CVS and I would spend 4 hours a day fronting and facing. I remember thinking that having hundreds of thousands of people wasting half their week facing was a social crime and that this time could have been better spent playing video games.
Despite not being 16 anymore, I stand by my analysis.
I was working in a workshops store room once and did order stuff so that you could easily access it, but also that you see how many are still there and if you have to re-order (so not facing if two lines were next to each other). One of my bosses was really angry at that and argued it looks nicer if it is done the other way. This did cost plenty of time we couldn't use for maintenance and led to equipment breaking down more often. There also were the days in which the bosses system (who also undid the markings we did for low stock count) lead to stuff we needed not being available. Yet he did pay two months salary of us for training for himself and conferences to know the latest in storage logistics and such and came back from them shit faced.
Capitalists, owners and bosses often work against the interests of the company, cherishing their control over other people's time for useless tasks. However unless in D/s this is involuntary and without consent this is a relationship that has to be surpassed.
