In slack we figured out that Kroger makes enough profit to give literally every employee they have a > $4/hr raise.

Larry Parrish posted:when i was a pizza guy and not yet a respectable pizza manager i had 10 separate customers argue with me about how i should, in fact, be selling weed with the pizza and its leaving money on the table, and what kind of a loving moron am i for not offering drugs with pizza to strangers. When I worked at a gas station I knew three different dealers and one of them was a Jimmy John's driver who also delivered weed Not sure what she or Mo are up to anymore but I saw the third in the paper last year, arrested for grand theft auto and had meth in his sock.

Thanatosian posted:Aaaaaaaaaannnnnnnd the Seattle Times is reporting a couple of "Grocery Store Associations" are suing the city over the law. Cost to give employees a $4/hr raise: $$$ Cost to close down a bunch of stores, hire a big time corporate law firm to drag this out to the supreme court or w/e, and mount a huge PR campaign to whine about having to give employees a $4/hr raise: $$$$$ Someone please help me budget my company is

Don't be silly, they don't put asbestos in the talcum, that would be expensive. They just use the cheapest possible talc that contained it already. And when called on it they stopped selling it!* *Like two years later, and only in the US and Canada where most of the bad press coverage happened

Y'know giving them judge dredd powers over 78 square miles of land is also a kind of publicly funded incentive package if you think about it, it's just publicly funded with blood instead of money (also probably money)

Shame Boy posted:Y'know giving them judge dredd powers over 78 square miles of land is also a kind of publicly funded incentive package if you think about it, it's just publicly funded with blood instead of money (also probably money) There will be plenty of public funding through state and federal governments before long. Just make rooms for people on disability, old age pensions, and welfare. Replicate the whole private prison thing, but this time for the indigent. The state will be happy to pay to get those undesirables out of the city centers and out of sight. It doesn't even need to be involuntary. The accommodations are spartan, but they are also new, clean, safe, and vermin free, so more attractive than a lot of poverty housing. Guaranteed to provide the menu plan, accommodations and healthcare your government pension can afford, with no hassle or worry. You are free to leave any time you like. Your accommodations are a company town in the middle of the Nevada desert 200 miles from anything, but you are free to leave any time you like.
