    They already bought Whole Foods.

    Their systems for the just-walk-out technology never worked right, and they just ended up opening grocery stores in sketchy locations in an already-crowded market.

          Corporations shouldn’t be allowed to donate to politicians. They can’t vote. If the ceo wants to support a candidate, make them take the money out of their own pocket.

        How did they ruin it? I don’t really shop there because I don’t want to spend eight dollars on asparagus water.

          A lot of quality merch is no longer carried. Their deli and premade fridges are poorer quality now. I used to stop by there to pick up a healthy lunch from time to time. Not anymore.

          Employees have complained online about working conditions being more like an Amazon warehouse now than a grocery store.

            yea the instore shoppers, they tried to use the same metrics that amazon shoppers used before '22 transition. and also they have skeleton crew the prepared foods headcount, so everyones all stressed. Also for how bad amazon is, getting pto is harder in wf, because of changes they made in '23. also they try to stretch out the people that dint leave immediately after getting hired, to do more work that would been done by having more hires.

      What sketchy locations? I’m guessing by your name that you’re in Seattle. I live in Seattle. There are no sketchy places here.

      They never did work well, though, that’s true. It was more awkward than just paying normally.
