Anyone else notice the grocery store shelves are getting emptied out again and not being restocked?

Look, I am no spring chicken. The government has been interfering with white collar IT wages for 3 decades with H-1B visa. These imported scabs have been taking our jobs and pushing wages ever downward and I, and many many others, have suffered for it.

What's different here is this time they are pushing wages up. You guy are having a cow over it and I am loving it!!!! What a bunch of low life baby hypocrites on the right wing. The more you whine the more I smile!!!

BTW, Just how much to you think a stocker at Walmart should make?

Would You Pay 1% More At Walmart For Workers?

We've been through a couple years now of enhanced unemployment and stimulus, a lot of people have made more money staying home than working.

If not mistaken, the $300/week Federal assistance for unemployment ends on September 6. Won't that cause a "re-calibration" of labor markets of some type?

You did not answer my question.

Your video talked about living wage...If someone is performing fairly basic entry-level work, what do you think is appropriate pay today, 9/2/21?

What about the wage being tied to the skills and responsibility required/associated for the job?

You are a hypocrite. To you meddling with wages is only good if it pushes them down. Riiiight...

You don’t get it. It’s not what I think or feel. It’s what the market will bear. I think bacon should only be priced at $1.00/pd. So how much do yo think I can get if I offer $1.00/pd? Hmmm???

OK I asked 3 or 4 times.

Obviously you don’t want to or are not prepared to answer.

Enjoy the rest of your evening.

Thanks for posting. Confirms my suspicions as to why more and more bad food is turning up in the stores. Food is in danger of not being transported in a timely manner - it takes damage or even turns bad by the time it reaches destination. You really have to watch out for items from the cold counter (ie. sandwich meats, cheeses, hot dogs, sausage, yogurt, butter, ready-to-heat sides and so forth), discoloration, puffed up packaging and so forth, also look hard at fresh or prepackaged fruits and vegetables, canned goods - everything. And be darn sure to check expirations particularly on the fresh stuff. I keep running into instances where no one has rotated it out and it's sat there for weeks - even several months - out of date.
 
When I went out shopping several days ago, ran into a good bit of sketchy food on the shelves. Picked up packages of tortillas that had bunch of moisture on the inside of them. Found bags of chocolate-centric trail mix that had melted together. Every single bag was a solid brick, you'd have to use a hammer and chisel to get it apart, yet they put it out on the shelf anyway. There were other bags of snacks and chips that were swollen up to where they looked like they were about to burst. That stuff was bad, had baked in the heat for a while, maybe even in direct sunlight. You don't get that when it is handled from distribution to the store in a timely manner.

Sheesh!

Sorry, as usual, you don’t play fair.

Local trash companies are dropping customers because they can’t get drivers for the trucks. They start @ $20.00 per hour. Nobody wants it. Two companies closed during 2020-2021. Their customers have been without service for months.

Dear Komrade wage fixer:

The answer is nobody knows what a Walmart employee "should" make per hour. Only the market can dictate that. GET IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Commies/progressives pushing food panic buying?

Why?

Starvation’s a commie tactic. People become compliant... Grocery stores are doing their best under trying conditions - and they’ll hold IF BIDEN’S THUGS DON’T START PANIC BUYING..

Anyone notice EBT CARDS had their highest rate increase in the history of the program? Waaaay past an inflation increase:

“Families Who Receive Food Stamps Will See The Largest Benefits Increase In History

The Associated Press

Someone is attempting to gin up a panic...
