    I went to Walmart once because at the time it was the only grocery store in the area that carried plantains. I have honestly never shopped anywhere else where I felt that level of malevolence from the employees. It was as if they were all working there only because their children were being held hostage and tortured and they were right on the cusp of deciding they didn’t really love their children that much. I thought I was close to getting stabbed by one of them, and I hadn’t even asked anybody for help finding anything.

    What really blows my mind though is why anyone shops at Target. At least stuff at Walmart is cheap, but Target is ridiculously expensive while still being shit, especially the grocery department.

      This, with more steps, is about accurate.

      Big mood. We are all coerced to wage slave by the gatekeeping of the necessities of life away from us. Im not against working to contribute to “civilization”, but I am opposed to this exploitation.
