COVID-19: Chapter 5 - BACK TO SCHOOL

I’m just not getting why Kroger would have more deplorable customers than its local competition in a given market.

Giant Eagle is the worst. Outrageous prices and you have to have a shoppers card to check out. Not to get the discount, to check out at all. The worst.

Cross-post from my “Unleash Your Anger” thread.


I was close enough to somebody who likely had covid-19 that there’s a chance that I just got it.

Turned out she was a French tourist who was getting one last hurrah before starting grad school. Of course, she claimed not to have it. It’s why she got on a crowded tram without a mask. Sure, she was coughing in the opposite direction from me. I was 8-10 feet away with a mask on and turned away from her. But with my luck regarding my health, I probably got it anyway.

Tourists in their early 20’s are stupid and that’s why everybody who lives in Prague low-key hates them.

TLDR: I probably have covid-19.

Probably because Kroger stores are pretty much exclusively in deplorable states.

Sprouts

Barons

Bristol Farms

Gelsons

Not sure if these are what you are asking for though. Bristol Farms is more like a normal grocery story but well decorated with Whole Foods pricing.

Sprouts. That require masks as well. They have really good sales on produce most weeks. Raspberries 3 for $5 this week.

He prolly got it at the rally so wasn’t contagious at the rally

Kroger owns a bunch of chains…Fred Meyer, Smith’s, Ralphs, Harris Teeter, Roundy’s, and more.

Kroger and Walmart are the two biggest grocers in the US and they will both require masks within a week. I think that is significant.

I wonder how hard the UFCW is pushing grocers to have mask requirements for customers to protect workers.

It doesn’t

It depends on the city and the store itself.

Some Kroger’s are the really nice kind, others are older and smaller.

Ingles are usually more rural so more deplorable.

Publix are decent and less hit or miss than Kroger. But a good Kroger is much nicer than a Publix.

80 out of 6000 is 1.3 percent, not .015 percent…

To repeat:

If you are talking about a chain that isn’t owned by Kroger, Albertson’s, Aldi or Jeff Bezos, you’re talking about a place most people can’t easily visit.

Got to the three minute mark and couldn’t watch anymore. Real depressing.

Meh, it was only in one clip and he was holding a box. It probably just slipped down. He appeared to have it fixed in later takes.

In Japan, for the past couple weeks we’ve been seeing about 250 new infections per day.

This number is quite a jump from the 50 or so per day that had been constant for months, but testing numbers have been proportionally higher as well.

Compared to the U.S. it’s just a drop in the bucket, but it’s also evidence that Covid in Japan is far from over.

Shitty poll, needs an “I have no fucking idea” option.

Publix is good. Almost everyone there wears a mask and I live in a deplorable area.

You can get citizenship in Malta for less than that which gives you access to the EU.

If everything else falls through, there’s always Cambodia!

I won’t report you to the police if you change your mind. I’m wondering which way people are leaning as of right now.
