Why are all you mother fuckers shopping at Walmart. They are a welfare corporation offloading their costs to tax payers because despite making tons of money they pay shit and skirt employee benefits laws by keeping worker hours low and give new employees info on how to get financial aid such as food stamps.
Yeah, this is the thing. Does literally anyone want to go to Walmart? No. Is it the place I can afford? Increasingly, still no. Not sure I can even afford to walk past whatever the good version of a Whole Foods is today, though.
A lot of people in rural areas find themselves in situations like being 10 minutes from a walmart and an hour from any other option. So then anything besides walmart costs gas and time, on top of the product cost difference to begin with.
Nobody wants to drive extra after 8 hours of shitty minimum wage work and/or taking care of children.
Not like other grocery stores are any good for workers, either.
Because all of the other retailers do the same shit only with higher prices. Here in Canada they don’t pay their employees any less than the competition, yet their prices are 30-40% cheaper on average.
That extra 40% doesn’t result in better working conditions for the employees, it goes directly to the shareholders and bonuses for the C-suite.
I respect the hell out of Walmart because they actually keep their price increases tied to inflation and aren’t out there trying to sell a loaf of poverty white bread for $5 or a pack of 4 chicken breasts for $37.

This is the most privileged thing you could say.
“Hey, why isn’t everything eating sustainably sourced GMO-free, organic, locally-grown food all the time?”
Spoiler alert: it costs more

Dollar tree is looking expensive these days
At least dollar tree is significantly easier to shoplift from.
Haha exactly. People shop at Walmart because they work at target and don’t make enough money to shop at Whole Foods.
Cause WinCo doesn’t always have what I need, but most importantly:
I’m poor.

I needed a job, alright. I usually shop at hannaford although it’s expensive. I wanna farm someday.
