Preferably the one you hate the most. For example Tesco. In my country they as much as doubled the prices without their Clubcard, and they have these “discounts” on almost all products. I haven’t been there as a customer for quite a while. Most likely over a year or two.

But it’s also a bit personal.
They schedule inventories in the shop overlapping with the opening times. Now, this isn’t just the mistake of Tesco (we are a different company), but they do decide on the times. What I mean by in-shop is not in the warehouse, but actually where the customers are.
We are required to be accurate, sort the products on the shelves if there was a mess and face it. This is then checked by someone else. Facing needs to be done well, but slight inaccuracies in counts are accepted (1 or 2 items). Your speed is also measured, by the way.

This is all OK, except that now there’s customers to fuck with it. They can take items, put them back, or just make a plain old mess. Plus you can’t guard all the shelves. Because of that, I was shocked when I was in Tesco like this for the first time. “If the customer takes something, ask them for barcodes and count of each item they’re taking, write those down on a piece of paper and report them to me.”
So… you’ll give me a piece of paper, right? RIGHT? (no.)

Imagine that as a customer. Let’s say you take a few pens and are about to put them into your shopping cart, suddenly someone very much not from Tesco runs up to you “WAIT!! Can I see the items first? I need to write down the barcodes. Is this all you took? Ok. Um… do you… do you have some paper? No? Shit, please wait here, I’ll be right back! (One eternity passes) …”

THANKFULLY, I avoided that. There were only 2 parents who talked about having to buy some of those plastic book covers ASAP as the school year was just starting, but my scared and startled look, probably/hopefully looking like “Please don’t take those. Please…”, made them change their minds. I’ve heard one of them say something like “It’s busy here, let’s not bother them. We’ll try elsewhere.”

I assume this discourages a lot of night-time customers. But I’ll be fair, Billa also schedules such inventories.

They suspect that the shooter might not have been a cop.

Cops exist to protect capital, not people.

Another way to look at it is them trying to pit everyone against each other. “How much money will it take to get the 99% to turn on one of their own?”

Or a few months of the medication that works for you but insurance will only cover the shittier alternatives.

I found him! I found Jesus behind the couch. Oh you were looking for Pete? Don’t know man. Try taco bell. He might be getting a chalupa right now as we speak.

And he may have both arms. For some reason i feel like thats important.

They’d probably get tips if the offer were for free lifetime healthcare at the quality he got.

Well, considering that Americans have to pay for health insurance in one way shape or form, and it likely comes out of their paycheck every month if they get benefits, no. It’s not.

Because we all have to pay an ass load of what we worked for for something we don’t necessarily need at the moment, but when we do, we’d really fucking like to.

In 2012 the total bill a relative got for their heart attack (or maybe stroke, I can’t remember it was bad) was $2m. Had they not had insurance that covered it, that’s how much debt they’d be in. In 2012. Fast forward to now. Yeah, a lot of insurance covers stuff like that. But a lot of people only have the insurance that covers absolutely the bare minimum.

Which is how you end up with people having poor health, subsequent heart attacks, or strokes, etc. Preventative medicine would keep those far rarer than they currently are.

So, no. $50k isn’t a lot. Its an insult. It’s an insult to the $20k/year people pay for something they can’t use. Instead that $20k/year could go to a universal health system where you don’t wait until you end up in the ER to get medical care. It’s an insult to the people who are saddled in medical debt by denied claims. Its an insult to doctors who give the care a patient needs. It’s an insult to the healthy people who understand they aren’t invulnerable.
