    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.

      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.
