A few years ago my local grocery store removed the scale on the bulk coffee section. So now I can’t weigh it and see how much I want to buy. Sign says it’s now weighed at the register for my convenience. Who the fuck is that convenient for? Anyway even though it’s been years I still bitch to every manager I see every freaking week.
I’m really sick of companies making changes that are clearly negative, and claiming it’s a good thing, like in your example. Somehow they’ve all come to the conclusion that if they just say it’s a good thing people will believe it.
I would bring a small portable scale lmao
Don’t be a Karen. It’s not their fault. Their job sucks ass believe me.
That’s what managers are for tho. Yeah, don’t bitch to the cashier, they have no say, managers tho? (Competent) managers can influence corporate to a degree, especially with tiny things like a scale.
Ever been a manager of a store? I have. I did six years as general manager of a Papa John’s. It was fucking terrible but I learned people skills while absolutely losing my mind in rage almost every day at the stupidity of the average customer and employee. This was an extremely high volume store. It was franchise though so maybe managers at a store owned directly by the corporation have more say. I had fucking zero say, just follow orders.
That company sucks balls. I worked at a franchise as a driver for a few years. Saw all the craziness. I still order from the same store I used to work at because my kids love the pizza, and the same 4 older dudes still work delivery there. Doomed to be stuck there for the rest of their lives. It’s depressing
It depends on the size of the company in relation to the store. And yep, franchised means the owner has got to pay for improvements outside of the franchise contract. But still, our scales are accurate to 0.05g, which is overkill for food, and “only” around 7-10k per, if you only have to be accurate to 1g, they shouldn’t be more than 1-2k.
What the fuck are you talking about?
About the example by OTP of his issue that they remove the scales next to the coffee, in relation to being the store manager, considering how little commercial scales cost, while also acknowledging that different stores (franchised or not, size of company vs size of the store) can impact the managers ability to provide such improvements to their customers.
Fuck you corpbot.
Nah, other stores in the area still have theirs. I’m going to bitch till they put it back it was one of their decisions.
You really think the managers of that particular store made that decision? I mean, it’s possible, but it’s unlikely you’re going to make a difference making a retail manager’s shit day worse.
I like the comic. The censorship kind of detracts/distracts.
The censorship emphasizes the cursing.
(Anyway, I have no idea why people keep using the tanker censorship in all of lemmy. Just have .ml block your post, you are losing nothing.)
What censorship? I see someone posted the comic in the comments, and I can’t spot any differences. Maybe OP updated the original post.
Seems so, they guy who posted the uncensored version thanked OP for updating the post.
fucking with your memory is not a little thing
Is the missing chair leg in panel 3 a meta joke about letting little things bother you?
That, or the author just innocently forgot about it.
Kroger sucks
As someone who lost seven years of their life to that company…
BIG agree.
But that private selection stuff is better than everything else!
I live 5 minutes from a shitty one. I appreciate the convenience. I wish they paid their employees more.
Oh and it’s in a “bad” neighborhood. So they pay a fat tall guy to stand there with a gun on his hip. Goddamned hilarious.
I loved going to markets in Costa Rica. Not only is everything cheap and fresh, but there are multiple cops with shotguns and AKs. I would definitely steal from my local Kroger first.

It works really well! I remember the last 27 places the bread was, so whenever I go in for a loaf of bread I come out with 28 items in total because I have to have at least one of everything from all the places the bread used to be! Makes for some really interesting changes to my meals too!!1!
