Bingo!

We saw the exact same bullshit during the marriage equality debate.

Bigots using any excuse to blame the oppressed for their bigotry.


"I wasn't going to vote against marriage equality, but you were rude."

Yeah nah, oval office, you were always a loving bigot :thumbsup:

A lot of people seem to support her thesis though, which goes to show people are even dumber than we thought

At this point in time if you haven't settled your opinion of Trump and if that opinion is not that he's a loving criminal, corrupt retard well you're dumb as gently caress as well.

publicly blaming the media for whatever is as good a shibboleth as any for recognizing trump supporters, she already was one

I like wegmans cause they basically draw a line down the middle where one half is aisles filled with organic bougie poo poo, and the other half is the dimly lit poor people’s aisle where you get all your generic poo poo.

It’s the grocery store for the 99% and the 1%

I think that ended up being not true, but although it's owned by Kroger Fred Meyer is a solid store, I really miss having those things around

Like a Wal-Mart but higher quality and not depressing as hell to be inside

Jesus people around here will not shut up about Wegmans

Like, I get that they're good, I've been in a couple, yes very nice

Still a gigantic suburban box store you don't have to build a loving religion around them

Also they remind me too much of Fairfax County VA. But yeah I hear they treat their employees pretty well.

When a tree grows, it is soft and pliable. But when it's dry and hard, it dies.

Hardness and strength are death's companions. Flexibility and softness are the embodiment of life.

That which has become hard shall not triumph.

i think central market with everything about a tenth of the price it currently is would be the ideal blueprint for grocery stores of the future

we wouldn't even have to change the name after nationalizing

It's because they're the dominant grocery store and also a decent employer

Apparently topical funfact from Czech Republic, the backwards land;

the biggest and most everpresent grocery store chain in the country is owned by Andrej Babiš, our current prime minister, a self proclaimed centrist (populist charlatan) and leader of the still best polling party which is basically 100% his fabrication pet project. Babiš is still under investigation for subsidy fraud and has great history of dodging taxes and unfair competition done just right to be actually impossible to prosecute. He's the most popular polititian here, still.

The stores loving suck and I hated watching them buy/push out many of the more decent brands, for instance the Netherlands based SPAR, replacing them with stores that carry worse selection of worse quality food for prices that often aren't even better. Now, coming in there and making a purchase means directly financially supporting this political zit that is him personally. I guess we have decent worker protection laws still though so no nightmare stories about their employees I guess, except that they're now (like most retail places) chronically understaffed as the real unemployment in Czech Republic is extremely low to the point most sectors just can't get enough workers.

This is my grocery chain story.

PS. please gullotine Babiš

Wegman's is good, but the shopping center centered on the Wegman's is why my landlord raised the rent again. Since the Wegman's wasn't even a good enough tradeoff for the ridiculous increase in my commute (40 minutes to go 6 miles is ridiculous in a city with <50,000 people) I left the city entirely.

So anyway Wegman's is why I can't serve on the civilian review board
