I mean, Mitch McConnell's wife is on the board of Kroger. I almost fell like coming up with a list of grocery chains not overrun by fuckery would be more useful
I saw MeinPillow for sale in Menards today. Also John Menard is just a terrible human being by CEO standards.
I feel like coming up with a list of retail chains not overrun by fuckery would be most useful. Is Costco still okay?
Costco, yes, last I heard. Trader Joe’s has lost my vote, though, after their intimidation tactics against labor organizers.
Market Basket?
This is not a new thing from her, she's made donations to horrid stuff before. And the headline is phrased in that way because Publix as a brand seems to be trying to distance themselves from her and that she's not currently in charge of the company and blah blah - but Publix, like most decently sized companies, donates to Republican politicians.
Just because you are born out of a rich vagina doesnt mean you are smart.
I'm gonna need a minute to untangle the title.
I swear half the headlines are translated by Ai.
Publix is a pain in the ass to use anyway. It's a great sandwich place but the whole "grocery store" theme is too much.
This comment hurt my brain. I got there in the end tho.
Why?
For me Publix is way more convenient. Just gotta pay a premium
I have 3 Publix's all within 15 minutes of me, only 1 Kroger and the Kroger is always packed and out of what I need
Keep in mind that she doesn’t have much of anything to do with Publix AFAIK. I believe it’s an employee owned company and (from what I’ve heard) they treat their employees right.
That being said it’s way too fucking expensive to shop there these days. I mostly get subs, hot case, etc from there.
Well you try buying groceries somewhere that doesn't completely suck for one reason or another.
At least at Publix I can get groceries and a tasty sandwich without hating the whole experience, so long as I simply don't remember that a small portion of my money ends up going to shit like this.
Edit: I don't have a Costco nearby
