I buy most of my groceries at a local employee owned chain. It’s amazing how they were able to avoid so much of the massive increase in costs that larger chains were experiencing. It’s like they had a completely different supply chain that wasn’t anywhere near as inflated. Oh sure, certain brands seemed to be going way up in price, but other items from competing brands didn’t. Meanwhile at Walmart, everything went way up in price, and at a much faster pace. Weird how that works.

I guess the giant monopolies must not have the resources and experience required to run an efficient business. How else can you explain the disparity?

Monstrosity ,

Ooooh, I’m pretty sure I know the employee owned chain you speak of because I shop there too. I started going when some of Safeway’s prices mysteriously doubled for no apparent reason. I’m so happy I made the switch. Those greedy pigs at Safeway did me a favor.

Mega corporations are a problem we need to solve as a society.

Kroger executives are basically inviting 5 finger discounts

garpujol ,

Can we use those fingers to punch them instead?

DogPeePoo ,

Yes 👍

AlecSadler ,

Why not both?

If you see someone shoplifting from a Kroger, you have a moral obligation to create a diversion.

So jail right? Right?! Who am I kidding…

reddig33 ,

No, no jail. Instead we’re going to let them merge with Albertsons. So now twice as many grocery stores can price gouge.

protist ,

I know it’s easy to be cynical, but isn’t all this coming out specifically because the FTC under the Biden Administration sued to stop this merger? Credit where credit is due for that.

We can talk about nationalizing kroger now, right? Right??!!

Passerby6497 ,

Not surprised in the slightest. Our offbrand kroger has been the most expensive retailer in the area, and has the lowest quality produce. Plus, they treat their employees like shit and disregarded known allergens to shove a nut allergic person into the bakery where they’d have to be in contact with their allergen repeatedly…

Fuckers.

Greedy fucks like this deserve treatment with a device that rhymes with creatine.

Hey look.

It’s my shocked face.

Can you tell I’m shocked?

I’m going for “shocked”.

Aldi is a lifesaver in these trying times

f1error ,

I like the idea of Aldi, but when I walk into my local one I’m hit with a huge wave of sadness and depression. I cannot shop there, I wish I could, as I said I like the idea.

Anyone with grade 5 math skills could have reached the same conclusion. 8% interest, 30% price increase. It’s not hard. Oh, and let’s not forget that grocery chains reported record profits that year.

It’s too bad doing LITERALLY ANYTHING would be SOCIALISM!
