So jail right? Right?! Who am I kidding…
No, no jail. Instead we’re going to let them merge with Albertsons. So now twice as many grocery stores can price gouge.
We can talk about nationalizing kroger now, right? Right??!!
We haven’t even bailed them out twenty times yet, how dare you propose something logical.
Why? That’s Capitalism and we live in a capitalist society
I buy most of my groceries at a local employee owned chain. It’s amazing how they were able to avoid so much of the massive increase in costs that larger chains were experiencing. It’s like they had a completely different supply chain that wasn’t anywhere near as inflated. Oh sure, certain brands seemed to be going way up in price, but other items from competing brands didn’t. Meanwhile at Walmart, everything went way up in price, and at a much faster pace. Weird how that works.
I guess the giant monopolies must not have the resources and experience required to run an efficient business. How else can you explain the disparity?
Anyone with grade 5 math skills could have reached the same conclusion. 8% interest, 30% price increase. It’s not hard. Oh, and let’s not forget that grocery chains reported record profits that year.
Not surprised in the slightest. Our offbrand kroger has been the most expensive retailer in the area, and has the lowest quality produce. Plus, they treat their employees like shit and disregarded known allergens to shove a nut allergic person into the bakery where they’d have to be in contact with their allergen repeatedly…
Fuckers.
Yeah no fucking shit
Mega corporations are a problem we need to solve as a society.
Capitalism is the problem
Steal from them
Great. Then they’ll raise prices more. Good thinking!
The prices will continue to be imaginary as you run off with your items
Evidently they’ll raise them regardless.
Aldi is a lifesaver in these trying times
Greedy fucks like this deserve treatment with a device that rhymes with creatine.
Ovaltine? I wouldn’t wish that stuff on my worst enemy!
Learn to garden, forage, hunt and fish. They are fun hobbies and those folks have their cupboard and freezers full of clean premium quality foods. Source - my freezer and cupboards are full
Hard to garden, forage, hunt and fish if you live on the 10th floor of a 16-story building in the middle of a city.
Nah, you just turn your living room into a raised bed garden. Forage through dumpsters, hunt stray City cats and fish aquariums that people keep near windows. Easy
