Just go grocery shopping yourself, dumbasses. Every time you use a store pick up app, you're just forcing some poor undermployed person to spend hours doing it for you, increasing their chances of getting sick, and increasing the profits of some venture capitalists

The grocery store here does their pickup orders directly through the store with no fee or price difference, you just pull up and they drop it in your trunk. The other side of it is one person doing 40 pickup orders a day (I dunno what a realistic number is) means thats 39 fewer people the store employees are exposed to. If everybody did pickup for thier groceries right now the stores would be a much safer place for the employees.

sure, but in case it wasn't already obvious, it's likely there will only be mass impoverishment awaiting us as a result through the rest of this calendar year, at least

We've done 90% Walmart pickups. That's just Walmart employees going around doing it.

We did Aldi once which was instacart, and Meijer once which we thought was like Walmart but actually used Shipt. e: and also Jewel (albertsons) once back in March when this all started but that was door dash I think? The few takeout food orders we've done were direct order though!

e2: if anyone knows what other stores around Chicago do curbside pickup with actual employees I'd appreciate the information!

Anyway, the "best" thing to do is to get your groceries for curbside pickup from a store that uses actual employees to shop the orders. No gig workers, no app markup, no contact.

Looked liked fourth of July around the Portland metro area. Anything open was crammed with people. Second wave (or is this the third?) going to be horrible.

Did my part part for corona-chan by continuing to clean up my parents old house, and take piles of garbage to the dump.

Mirror in front of the power rack at one of the gyms I go to always has spit spray on it, after dudebros rack up a shitload of weight and do one squat with terrible form, and then post on Instagram for 15 minutes.

I just heard a podcast with Elon and Joe Rogan and Elon is extremely pro-opening up, says it’s not a big deal and mortality is wrong by a factor of 10

so this is not surprising

is he right, or is he a guy in charge of a business who doesn’t give a gently caress about his employees? who the hell knows

what the gently caress

quote:

“Metro Services Group has long been an advocate of helping persons who had been incarcerated return to society in a meaningful and productive way,” said the city’s sanitation services in a statement. “Metro makes no apologies for this policy as a core element of our commitment to being good corporate citizens.

Under state rules, prison inmates, employed by Metro Services, will be paid only 13% of what garbage workers, who only make $10.25-an-hour, are being paid.

I know you're joking man but it's crazy how much his wealth is confused for some kind of skill, virtue, etc. Dude is obviously a drug addled wastrel who inherited 100% of his money and is bad at everything he tries. Are the cars that nice? I've never driven one. The only person I met who drove one was an ultra racist boomer at my office, I've never seen a real person driving a Tesla

I switched from going in to this, because of this. the apps have a person in for every single order. the grocery store pickup has one employee already in the store doing multiple orders greatly reducing the number of people that have to go in. the store employee I asked said it was the way to do it too.

don’t use the apps. do use the stores curbside.
