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

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

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
