@rbreich Remember when they loudly touted their "Made in America" products while silently killing every small-town mom-and-pop business, then did a 180 and started importing everything from China? Good times, great folks.
@rbreich During the pandemic I started to buy cat food at Walmart. I am no fan of the place, but it was the only store that reliably had the food I needed.
This year we lost 2 supermarkets in my neighborhood, so I am back to Walmart. I don't buy pet supplies online for environmental reasons, so I feel stuck.
@rbreich
Layoffs of who???
Can't be cashiers ..They don't have any...
Can't be stockers.....shelves aren't stocked
Can't be cart snatchers...every last one is still out in the parking lot.
267 billion would take every last employee off food stamps and off state insurance. #WalmartSucks
@rbreich I don't use self checkout. Using it cuts jobs, increases their profits, & is a hassle offloaded onto the customer anyway. I try to be nice to the cashier but without making her have to exert greeter emotional labor. She is standing rather than sitting as she could be in a different country, & they are messing with her hours & paying her crap.
@rbreich You can't elect politicians who promote capitalism and expect people not to try to be the 'best capitalist' they can. They are the winners of an awful game.
@rbreich it’s so frustrating. You cannot find anyone in big stores selling expensive appliances any product knowledge. The make it hard to buy from them in so many ways.
