If by controlling shareholders they mean 80% of the voting stock is employee owned then effectively yeah that's employees owning the company. Pretty cool. lol at Facebook where Zuckerberg's shares are worth 10x more votes than everyone else's so their shares are meaningless really e: an Employee Share Ownership Plan is similar but it's just an employee benefit plan wherein employees get company shares. There's some tax benefits for both the company and the employee. But the difference is like a Google engineer might get shares but probably class C (which have no votes) and even if they got voting shares the employee owned number would be a drop in the bucket of the total shares outstanding.

I loving LOVE the grocery store. I will gladly spend hours staring at food and imagining what I could cook. Also, during the day, you can also stare at hot women, and imagine what could happen if you weren't a goon.

It's a loving blast to smile at strangers, hit on hot women, and restock your supplies. And this one time a guy almost hit me with his orange rear end in a top hat truck in the parking lot and we did those fussy little "what are you doing moron" shrugs at each other, like i was in the wrong for walking through the closest space to the front door, which obviously belongs to whatever fat idiot hates walking the most. As he pulled in he rolled down the window MOVE IT JACKASS and I was so taken aback that I didn't even swear back at him, I waved my hands around and was like "yeah, man, go... go away" lol. Then a couple minutes later in the store this hugely fat round little man with tedy roosevelt mustache and glasses waddled past where i was standing (breads) to the end of the aisle (sweets and candies). He had a little kid in tow (7 year old version of him, fat, nerd glasses). As the guy passes he mutters something retarded like "Just because you wave your hands doesnt mean you're in the right place", I guess he thought he would just snark at my back and that would look cool in front of his kid. I wasn't facing him when he said this so it took me a second to connect this to what had just happend, that some random rear end in a top hat i had tried to forget was actually reinserting himself into my life in an attempt to humiliate me for inconveniencing him by 1.1 seconds and whats more he looks like danny devito in a pair of cargo shorts and a loving hat in a supermarket, and when I got it I stormed down after him to where they had halted (sweets i cannot help but recall). I decided to press my advantage - my opponent had already disgraced himself with his fat gaucheness - I came up from behind and was all Excuse me sir, was that directed at me? By the way you probably shouldn't swear in front of your kid like that. He was instantly really mad but not scared because I was holding things of milk and bread loafs so He spluttered "Well THANK YOU for that parenting advice -- YOUNG MAN!!!" But at this point I was already walking away, clearly not giving a poo poo about what he had to say. The youngling witnessd his father destroyed by a cruel youthful buck causing irreperable psycholocigal harm or saw his cool short dad own a handsome loser. Either way I had won again. Just another fun thing that can happen at the grocry.

I worked at Publix for a few years and they paid even less than Walmart while also not giving you any sort of employee discount or freebies. And they weren't quite as cultish as Walmart but they did have that same creepy corporate-mandated reverence for the dead founder complete with Juche style framed pictures of him everywhere. I guess it's a testament to their marketing team that people are willing to go out of their to pay out the rear end for the exact same products at Publix out of some nebulous moral imperative because they present themselves as the underdogs.

OP I think maybe you have a lot of anxiety about going to the grocery store. Maybe the anxiety is about things that you think will happen at the store, or maybe it's stress from other situations that cause you anxiety, which then cause you to be stressed out at the grocery store. I think everyone will admit, though, that a crowded grocery store is a real shitstain of a place to be, especially if like, you are there right after work at 6pm and you just want to go home.

T.S. Smelliot posted:I was in an Aldi once, it was the closest analogy I can think of to compare it to the grocery store equivalent of dumpster diving behind a Walmart I remember an Aldis moved in near where I lived when I was a kid and the neighborhood was dazzled by their low prices, insisting the quality was "just as good!" ..it was not. The odd thing about Aldis brand slop is that it actually DOES taste fine.. for the first bite. Every subsequent bite, somehow, it tastes worse until by like you've eaten several, then it is the most disgusting substance in the universe. Like, every single food they make.

Aldi's eggs are like gag rubber eggs, like if you hard boil them they have the consistency of a bouncy ball and the yolks are neon yellow. If you don't get their produce, or dairy, eggs or meat, then they're fine for dry goods and processed foods.

I went to the farmer's market and walked around for like an hour, staring at meat and produce and whatever else I did. I think I made five purchases and it owned. Made mushroom risotto. Now I can retire to drinking bourbon and smoking weed and eating parmesan. In summation: I'm a sperg for groceries.

COMRADES posted:Yo can you please stop using the self checkout because it should be quick but then I get to stand behind people like you who can't figure out to just keep the drat bagging area clear and it defeats the whole point. For whatever reason I don't get the UNEXPECTED ITEM IN BAGGING AREA for some reason it doesn't like the weights of some of the stuff I picked and that's just a general CHECKING WEIGHT, PLEASE WAIT FOR ASSISTANCE problem but you're right I have seen people set unbagged stuff there.
