I shop my local Kroger. The minute Trump and his governors declared the economy open the store removed all the social distancing floor stickers.

Oh, no - it's the Demon-crats that are tanking Drumpf's beautiful economy ON PURPOSE to hurt him at the ballot box in November. See, here's the plan: we keep the economy closed because of our coronavirus hoax, the country spirals into a crater, we win the presidency, and then we quickly clean up the economic catastrophe in like two and a half years, so we can win reelection to the White House! Then, per Laura Ingraham, we can turn America into a progressive utopia! At least, that's the plan as described to be by some fucking imbecile on the interwebs.

Wait, he's still talking about the pandemic? I thought he moved onto ObamaGate.

The same hotel that Drumpf is desperately now trying to sell, but nobody wants it.

He also did it to Office America, an office supply chain I really loved. Ripped it to shreds so he could put it back together as Staples. I don't do Staples if I don't have to.

Late last year, Kroger wasted some bucks on a new ad campaign that features these cartoon characters that they named krojis which were supposed to represent "Kroger customers, associates, and communities in an inclusive, relatable, optimistic, and fun way."

That sure failed. The only tingle I get from shopping at Ralph's is when I pick up a carton of half & half. In that moment, I feel like the Dude in the Big Lebowski, shuffling along in my robe and birkenstocks. Now, even that is ruined. Thanks, assholes.

A few weeks ago I added something to my grocery list, a gift card for the supermarket of a certain amount and after paying for it and everything else, I gave it to the cashier. I have now done it every time. I know that at least once the person behind me did the same.

The hell of it is, with grocery executives, you'd be surprised at how many of them come up through the ranks. Time and again you find they started as stockers, baggers, etc.and rose to the C-suite (with time off for college, of course). Kroger's CEO, Rodney McMullen, definitely qualifies.

It's too bad a lot of them don't seem to remember where they came from.
