What's HEB?

We've got a K-mart, I guess. But I don't want to get Hepatitis just browsing merchandise.

Big electronics purchases (televisions and the like) I generally stick with Seers or similar places. All other electronics I generally buy online. Sure Amazon may be evil too, but like Google, they're friendly about it.

[this was a picture of a Dolphin, but we don't need to keep training that]

Nature's second best rapist. Does anyone know No1? (Hint: It's not people surprisingly)
Otters!
Ducks, actually.
I knew that one.

Odd facts about duck rape. Its almost always gang rape with ducks lining up and squabbling about who gets to go next. The rape victim often dies which doesn't slow the rapists dawn. Also ducks are one of the few avian spices with penises.

Someday look up where we got the term "lame duck" from. Warning, it isn't pretty.

It's all your fault.

Consumers wanted to save money in order to purchase products and thus held their dollars hostage and demanded lower prices.

But they also refused to take pay cuts to facilitate the lowering of the cost of those goods.

The manufacturing companies went overseas to find cheaper labor to produce the same products at lower costs.

A tipping point was reached when the number of jobs sent overseas negatively impacted the percentage of people working "middle class" jobs.

Without the "overpaid middle class" jobs providing the income they need to buy products the economy eventually stagnated

and here we are.

the only way to turn it around is to pay a little more for american products so your neighbors can do the same.

we complain in this country about not providing people with a livable wage and at the same time buy products from countries where the wages are borderline slavery.

What's HEB?
Only the best damn grocery store in America.

Only located in Texas, and pretty much from Waco on down. My sister from Missouri would come down to SA to visit on occasion, and every time she does, before she leaves, she stops at HEB to stock up.

Heck, she would ask me to send her stuff from time to time.

Yeah, we got some K-marts here too, but they are almost extinct cause of the bad service.

It seems like your stores suck. Sucks to be you I guess.

I did see that, though I've had zero experience of Twitch. I just saw the headline.

I'm personally in love with Wegman's. Even Giant/Martin's is kept out; Giant Eagle dominates here.

You know. This Giant Eagle.

And then there's Shop n' Save, which is the food version of K-Mart.

The options are *** awful.

Wal Mart should hire friendly strippers then.

I hate superstores in general. I think the only tolerable one is Costco because they drop the pretense of being anything other than a first-order delivery warehouse that you can browse.

Or maybe I just like that they require a membership so I can stroll in with these sweet black-framed glasses with the lenses popped out.

You know what's funny? HEB has the same pay structure as Walmart, but requires their employees to be helpful and friendly. The only difference between the two is long-term employee packages offered by HEB, even cashiers.

Walmart's employment policies favor for the low retention, while HEB policies favor for the high retention. It is very hard to get a job in HEB.

Walmart doesn't only favor low retention, they favor recycling employees. They will gladly rehire someone three months later who was fired for repeatedly missing work because they now have a trained employee they can start back at the low end of the pay scale.

Well, a hippie and a hipster aren't exactly the same thing.

A Hipster has all the moral failings and unbridled hypocrisy as a hippie, but with wealthy parents.
