The various Federal & State governments. By a LARGE margin.
Its intentional; they want our children to grow up thinking that capitalism is exploitative and that companies are evil.”””
EVERY time someone says that to me I ask some of the following questions:
Do you think that Levi makes just one pair of jeans at a time & doesn’t start on another pair until the first pair is sold?
How about the bakery?
How about your pots & pans?
How about the seats in the movie theater?
How about that fancy handbag you covet?
How about that expensive engagement ring you wanted?
How about that car you drive?
How about the airplane you will fly to your resort vacation destination?
I an think of many more.
They just stammer & stammer......
In those years, I also was a grocery cashier. The cans & other non-r=produce items were all marked with a stamped price on it. We were required to call it out because most shoppers never even LOOKED at the marked prices when they grabbed something for the cart.
Produce was a case of being there before your shift started & using a pre-printed form & walking thru the produce department and writing down the prices. I can remember that I hated plum season. There were about 59 different kinds of plums, and it was hard to tell them apart. Never could get the produce manager to just price them all the same.
Now-—ALL produce has a sticker on it. -—AND-—the bar code is read by the scanner & you don’t call out anything.
Government, and by a huge margin.
You guys must not be the public.
Ok, thanks. It didn’t occur to me she was reading the price labels. It figures. Once I got to know her, I realized she couldn’t think her way out of a salmon patty.
