If you can get enough people and a large vehicle, it's really easy to load up a bunch of baskets and walk out with tons of poo poo. Store I worked at took all the baskets off the floor for the overnight shift.

Off the hip, probably some McKinsey fucks found the number go up when customers have only a cart versus the choice of a cart or basket.

Yeah I would guess that’s it. With a basket you can physically feel the weight, carts Alfred unlimited

Supermarkets here went from normal trolleys and normal baskets to those extra big baskets that come with wheels. They still have a handle for carrying it, but definitely not meant for that. And indeed, if you make the trolley/basket bigger, then it's easier to buy more stuff - rather than just one basket to fill your backpack with.

They made it so that everybody lugs around a shopping cart to buy a single loaf of bread, but they didn't make the aisles wide enough to accommodate two carts next to each other, so combine that with the fact most people have absolutely no awareness or regard for others, and there are constant traffic jams

cat botherer posted:Yeah what is the deal with grocery stores hating baskets all of a sudden? You'd think they'd be easier to deal with than carts, because they don't have to be taken in from the parking lot. During covid sanitary concerns meant fewer baskets (and shoppers). It's not like they kept making lovely baskets when nobody was using them. The supply is running out. LimaBiker posted:Supermarkets here went from normal trolleys and normal baskets to those extra big baskets that come with wheels. They still have a handle for carrying it, but definitely not meant for that. With the prevalence of ordering groceries online a significant portion of shoppers are now instacart/delivery drivers. These proxy shoppers need quick access and high accuracy to do their job well. Carts on wheels encourage more people to become drivers since they know they won't have to lift as much. If you are shopping for yourself, you need to spend more. Baskets dont help you spend more, they encourage you to spend less. You are a product.

They still have a call employee button underneath but if that ever vanishes I'm gone. I'm already annoyed by them not having free delivery like Walgreens so yeah. CVS you managed to be shittier than Walgreens in multiple ways you're lucky I don't want to give the business that was in a rush to not offer Mifepristone. It's not that they were forced to by states it's that they were so quick to go yes yes of course, that reeks of some rear end in a top hat beliefs in the company finally getting the go ahead by the government. Also LOL I wasn't sure what drug it was so I googled it. Hey Google don't loving give me lovely company propaganda as my first results for "walgreens abortion pills" thanks. https://news.walgreens.com/press-center/mifepristone-resources/. Is propaganda suppose to make me never ever want to do business with a company? It's like when SeaWorld had those ads being like "we're awesome totally not terrible in anyway" in response to that killer whale documentary. How does that not trigger major red flags to the people who view it? People are dumb. Duck and Cover fucked around with this message at 19:49 on Nov 19, 2023 |

having an app (and subsequently a centralized database) for medical records is a stepping stone from the lovely world we live in now to a much, much, much better world where medical research is pooled, analyzed, and handled with a holistic and allied approach across all modalities. it's the original purpose/intention of blockchain technology. it is imperative to progress. of course CVS should not be loving leading that charge. but eschewing good apps just because of app fatigue is problematic. we need centralized medical records.

That's nice but telling me to pull out my phone to navigate your lovely app to find the QR code your requesting of me sucks, and the reason they are doing it is just to save money on labor. Besides we don't need lovely phone apps to do any of that. Duck and Cover fucked around with this message at 20:32 on Nov 19, 2023 |

I went to a John Muir ER lately, and then the next time I went to my Sutter PCP, they were able to pull up all the records from John Muir and it was just great. I think they’re even able to get at my records from Providence back in Oregon. I think it’s because they’re all on the Epic records platform, but it feels very much like The Way It Should Work.

You’re right that it’s much easier to analyze millions of records this way but it won’t benefit patients very much. It’s mostly for insurers, hospitals, and medical debt and securization finance companies.

They also do annual things where you can basically leave anything that isn't immanently exploding for disposal.

Also please let them know if you are in the military. Do you get a military discount if you are? No

Given the incredibly incorrect poo poo that’s been put in my and my wife’s medical record that I’ve had to spend incredible amounts of time and energy fixing, having a write-only db seems like a bad idea. Similarly any distributed database is a security nightmare, even worse than the poo poo that can be pulled now if you read the privacy policy every health provider has you sign.

No I already did that when I moved in here, the uhaul app and the store didn't communicate and they just rented me the box truck I paid for anyway because I showed them my receipt and order on the app and in my email while they were bitching up and down about the goddamn app

I remember I bought something particular online, it was going to be a week delivery, and then an hour later they sent me a form asking me to tell them how the product was with a disclaimer of "this can be used for marketing with your name". Then I went in the special hell of trying to figure out how to complain about it.
