That street between the store and the parking lot? Yeah, don't bother crossing that poo poo or anything, just wander the gently caress all over it aimlessly.

Grocery stores suck because it's where the average American's entitlement and insistence on being pampered and spoiled meets corporate America's mandate to spend as little as possible so they can maximize profits. You can shop somewhere like Aldis where the groceries are cheap and checkout is fast but you have to bag your own groceries and bring the cart back to the front of the store, or you can shop somewhere like Costco where you have to pay a membership fee and buy food by the gross to make up for the lack of profit margin and have the person at the exit treat you like a criminal as they pore over your receipt, or you can shop at your bougie overpriced "natural" food shoppe of choice where a handful of food costs $20, but the one constant is that the only way you're not going to have a bad time is if you shop somewhere that the employees are actually a paid a decent living wage and treated with basic human dignity.

T.S. Smelliot posted:godDAMN this is cool, can you compare this to Publix or do you have Publix shopping experience? From what my friends/acquaintances from other states and various other countries on this dead gay planet have told me Publix blew their minds when it comes to grocery stores the last time i was in florida i shopped at a winn dixie which was not great but kind of reminded me of Kroger in that they seemed like they were trying at least, and the other one was a piggly wiggly where it was like stepping back into time but not in a good way

Wicker Man posted:I'm the old guy sitting in his truck for what seems like hours at a time in the parking lot. The engine isn't on. WTF Are they doing? It's not like it doesn't get hot around here - they must be turning their a/c on at some point. Are they trying to end their long, terrible lives inside a car but don't have a garage to do it in? At least some can't be waiting for someone, since I have left before and came back an hour later having forgotten detergent and he's still there.

Twat McTwatterson posted:Like, I like food and poo poo, I like to cook, and I like buying my food, so I want to go to the grocery store. I have to and I want to. But why the gently caress does it suck? Cramped aisles, can never find the specific loving thing I want, can't remember what the gently caress I need for the dickfart of me, long rear end checkout lines with some ugly pissed off cashier. No one to bag my poo poo so the line takes forever, some bitch can't input her phone number right, an awkward wait for the loving debit card to go through without making conversation, pushing a cart out to the car, unloading my loving groceries, finding a place to push the stupid rear end cart, and then going home Just hang in there another 10 years or so when those digital-ID stores come about and you can just walk in and pick stuff out and it bills you Don't hang in there for 20 years when all jobs are eliminated by such technology and the response of the rich is that the poors can do us all a favor and off themselves

Did you know certain chains have the "at cost" price encoded on the price tag in letters for whatever reason (to force over worked inventory staff to memorize a loving cypher on top of doing all 6 of the owners stores in a 2 day window)

Publix loving owns and I actually look forward to going there whenever I visit Florida. Here we have a lot of G-stores, my favorites are Trader Joe's, Aldi, Giant and Shop-Rite. G-shopping is fun and relaxing just take your time and lighten up, OP. It also helps to go with someone instead of alone.

emoji posted:*casually strolls away from the olive bar like a chipmunk* As someone who sees grocery stores of all banners on a daily basis let me tell you people this: If you are eating from the salad bar, olive bar or any other loving bar that isn't hot-foods you are taking your life in your own hands. You know those employees making 10 bucks an hour? They don't give a flying gently caress about what that salad bar looks like underneath those cambro pans. Moldy air laden with rotting food particles are being constanstly circulated over your salads. Your olives just sit there without refrigeration because the oils and acids in olives make the refrigeration coils rot/rust out in less than a year and noone ever repairs them). Prepared food from a supermarket is loving disgusting.

Just grow and hunt for your own food if you don't like grocery stores. People forget about the convenience grocery stores offer, and how entitled you are to use them, and how much loving plastic you waste buying stuff there.

Hmm you know what I didn't know so I looked it up, here's a Forbes article mentioning it, does this answer your question? "The multi-generational Jenkins family owns about 20% of Publix, but employees are the controlling shareholders, with an 80% stake. All staffers who have put in 1,000 work hours and a year of employment receive an additional 8.5% of their total pay in the form of Publix stock."
