Reggie Omg this at my casino. Some people will tell me that they‘ve come here for years and that we‘re total bullshit and thieves and they‘re never coming back and I‘m like, who are you? I‘ve been there over 15 years and the last five people to tell me that, I haven‘t recognized them. Crazies. 1d

Retail Hell: How I Sold My Soul to the Store | Freeman Hall

In our latest episode we discuss the etiquette of where to place your shopping cart once you finish shopping and then segue into the possibility (inevitability?) of fully automated grocery stores. I'd be curious to hear what you all think!

Big-Box Swindle: The True Cost of Mega-Retailers and the Fight for America's Independent Businesses | Stacy Mitchell

pick

The first 2/3 of the book documented the unconscionable hubris of big box and category killer chains. They way they extracted tax breaks and infrastructure paid by local communities, contributed to pollution, replaced good paying jobs with low paying ones, destroyed downtowns, etc. made me never want to go shopping again. The last 1/3 illustrated how some small towns fought back and preserved their downtowns and local businesses.

On Target: How the World's Hottest Retailer Hit a Bull's-Eye | Laura Rowley

In March I got a letter from Target saying that I hadn‘t used my credit card in a year (uh, pandemic) and if I didn‘t use it within the next two months they would close the account.

Clearly I had to order the box full of books that is now on its way to me in the interest of maintaining one of my oldest credit accounts. And it was all BOGO 1/2 off, so definitely a moral imperative. Right?

ju.ca.no Totally😁 4y

TrishB Absolutely justified. 4y

Clare-Dragonfly Absolutely! Without those books, there was a grave risk to your credit score. 4y

Ruthiella Yes!😀 4y
