The petty theft flameout angle is the least interesting flameout I think I’ve seen. It’s not controversial. It’s not hard.
Fuck off and stfu, raisingarizona. You lose this one. Maybe we’ll sorta forget over time.
I remember. Food stamps and scrounging at yea auld commons tray return. Hiking Mt. Hood Meadows due to lack of chairlift funds. Hitchhiking a lot. Dealing to make ends meet and pay tuition. Planting trees in the rain for weeks on end.Quote:

Regardless, bragging online about stealing groceries is some stupid shit.

Market Basket fucking RULES!! I live in Savannah now and Im being held hostage by Publix. I can go to Whole Foods and do better than Publix. $11.00 for a large jar of Hellman's mayo? Fuck that. Whenever Im back in MA/NH I load up on Market Basket cheese puffs and Cain's mayo. MB is a good blue collar supermarket with good prices. +1 on Market Basket and DeMoulas.Quote:

Profit margin for actual grocery retailing is still tiny. As always, the shampoo etc & pharmaceuticals is what makes the real profit.
My bad….total rookie move and pulling my raised in NH status, it’s Demoullas not Market Basket.
I remember the strike thing they had some years ago. That was insane!
Albertsons lists 18 Alaska Carrs Safeway stores planned for divestiture in proposed merger with Kroger
By Joey Klecka
Published: Jul. 9, 2024 at 4:42 PM AKDT
ANCHORAGE, Alaska (KTUU) - A list of planned stores that will be divested by the parent company of Carrs-Safeway includes 18 locations in Alaska.
In a release on its company website, Albertsons Companies, Inc. listed a total of 579 store locations around the country — most of them in the Western United States — that are planned to be divested by the company as part of its merger with the Kroger Company. Kroger is the parent company of Fred Meyer.
The merger would give C&S Wholesale Grocers, a New Hampshire-based grocery company, ownership of the stores listed in the divestiture plan. C&S Wholesale Grocers is one of the largest privately-held companies in the country and owns the Piggly Wiggly franchise, a popular grocer in the U.S. South and Midwest.
Eighteen store locations in Alaska were part of the list, with eight of them in Anchorage.
The merger between the two grocery chains was announced in October 2022, with Albertsons stating that no stores would be closed and “all frontline associates will remain employed.”
It would be one of the largest supermarket mergers in the country’s history.
MORE: Why does the US government think a Kroger-Albertsons merger would be bad for grocery shoppers?
The planned merger — reported to be worth $24.6 billion — has been previously opposed by Alaska’s delegation, with Sen. Lisa Murkowski and Rep. Mary Peltola voicing their concerns with what could happen if the merger is approved.
Requests for comment by Alaska’s News Source to Murkowski and Peltola had not yet been answered as of press time Tuesday afternoon.
“The more power and the more consolidated they are the more challenging it is [to negotiate fair wages],” Peltola said earlier this year. “And we see that with every sector but certainly the grocery sector is no different and so that is a real clear threat and I think one we should be speaking to and making sure ... that wages won’t go down, that sick leave, things like that, the benefits that are negotiated, aren’t diminished.”
Peltola said she penned a letter to the Federal Trade Commission in August 2023 urging FTC leaders to block the merger. Murkowski and Sen. Dan Sullivan said they wrote a letter to the FTC in September 2023 expressing their concerns.
The FTC sued to block the merger in February of this year, saying the deal would eliminate competition and lead to higher prices for millions of Americans.
The companies said a merger would help them better compete with big retailers like Walmart, Costco, and Amazon, which owns Whole Foods, because they would have more power to negotiate prices and could save on distribution and administrative costs.
The list included the following Carrs-Safeway store locations:
- 1340 Gambell Street, Anchorage
- 1650 W. Northern Lights Boulevard, Anchorage
- 5600 Debarr Road, Anchorage
- 4000 W. Dimond Boulevard, Anchorage
- 1501 Huffman Road, Anchorage
- 7731 E. Northern Lights Boulevard, Anchorage
- 1725 Abbott Road, Anchorage
- 2920 Seward Highway, Anchorage
- 11409 Business Park Boulevard, Eagle River
- 3627 Airport Way, Fairbanks
- 30 College Road, Fairbanks
- 147 Hightower Road, Girdwood
- 3033 Vintage Boulevard, Juneau
- 10576 Kenai Spur Highway, Kenai
- 44428 Sterling Highway, Soldotna
- 301 N. Santa Claus Lane, North Pole
- 664 E. Palmer-Wasilla Highway, Palmer
- 595 E. Parks Highway, Wasilla

Baltic dry index is fairly priced historically, it’s not transportation costs, or I guess oil.
SP GSCI AG index is up about 50% from 2020, so that’s raw food,costs, purely supply and demand, trust me, farmers all get fucked, or very lucky.
We’ve been lucky really, farmland sky rocketed about 5 yrs ago, corn had a good run, and investors bid the shit out of farmland, so lease rates probably doubled.
No way its all Justin Trudeau's falt, fuck Trudeau !Quote:

which makes me wonder if this kind of mindset that leads to the legal problems where the only way to handle it is a mass shooting ?
I thought the SLA's targeting of the uber wealthy oligarch class was a good idea.
It's not, ya dramatic dipshit.Quote:

mass shootings on the rise,
due to rising food prices ?
just don't be in the same store
Y'all are funny.
The moral high horses are something around here.
Don't be a pussy :D
sorry, I can't relate
:rolleyes:
Duh dude I take at least one item for free every time I'm forced to check myself out I don't give a shit neither should youQuote:

Can’t make life harder for the local staff by stealing. Either I know their name, or their parents. Small town <2000. No self checkouts either.
Also met the owner. Top 10 of wealthiest Canadians. MIL went to school with his kids, her father’s house was just up the street from Jimmy’s. Didn’t/don’t dislike him either, he made a mastery of the money game. Wonder what will happen to the company when he passes (still works and heads his conglomerate at 96). Came from nothing.
That Galen Weston though, boldface lying to the feds on grocery profits after getting caught in collusion with other grocers on bread. Fuck that silver spoon asshole.
I'm pure. So fuck you all.

Perhaps those seeing large increases in groceries are shopping in poorer areas and those with limited increases are shopping in richer areas. Interesting study a year or so ago by a bunch of teenagers in Boston found Stop and Shop stores in poorer areas neighborhoods charge 18% more for the same items than they do in more affluent areas.

The FTC has sued to block the merger. The trial is over, judge yet to rule.Quote:
