    Robots dont pay Medicare benefits either.

    I dont recall advocating a minimum wage, but Medicare is something that is of interest to even those here that decry socialism!

    Condratiction abounds, which is why we are not purely capitalistic, that I have said.

      Not the ones I've tried several times to use when the lines to the checkers were too long--ALWAYS some hang-up that requires me to wait for someone to come over & straighten it out.

      Talking about the grocery store, not Walmart, which I'll NEVER enter again after their contemptible & cowardly withdrawal of support from the new Mississippi Senator because the Dems called her, a white woman proud of her heritage, a racist! Even asked her to return their contribution, which I hope she does not. Do YOU want to continue patronizing such a company?

          fancy word for stocker,.

          and needed,

          when I was in the grocery business, on the foodstamp days I had a crew that stocked all day,
          had to, certain commodities would sell out in an hour or 3, if you did not have someone replenish them, you might as well shut the doors by noon

          and that was running a full overnight stock crew too

            As an add-on, why does Walmart move their products around practically every other day? I can never find what I want (where it used to be) and those "replenishers" don't know squat!

              Makes you look at everything on the shelves looking for what you want, you buy more tidbits that way.

                I thought that was only done here too. They move everything around except the bathrooms. I've asked why several times throughout the years and the only believable answer I've gotten was "it gives us job security".

                To compound matters, not all WM's stock the same items. Especially when going to a smaller store (one w/o an automotive center) you may spend a lot of time looking for something that they don't even have.

                  Bigger question is, why do business with a company that tried to elect a Democrat to the Senate from Mississippi?

                  Nothing sold at WM that can't be found somewhere else or on-line.

                    It's hard not to shop at WM since they have run all the mom and pop stores out of business but I certainly won't go back to the store mentioned above. If they all become self check then I will avoid them all. I did not know they were into politics. This is something that should be better known to everyone. I did know that Amazon made the statement that they would only hire illegals--so I don't do business with them any longer. Starbucks is pro hillary/liberal and anti-Trump so I have not and will not ever enter one of their facilities.

                      displays are planned for a sales period, or changed as they sell out if a one time item,

                      marketing\merchandising calls for things to be moved every so often, keeps the displays fresh, and honestly, if it sets too long, it becomes wallpaper,
                      as in people walk by and never see it

                      if you are talking about shelf stock, they are reset in most grocers on a periodic basis for season or new items to be added or replace discontinued stuff

                        Seen the new Amazon ad showing a black & white couple with their two little Afro-heads? Charming; but of course only one of many on TV promoting mongrelization of the white race.

                        I never buy anything on Amazon because the same thing can almost always be found on ebay at about the same price; not that the management of ebay is any less liberal than that of Amazon, but they act only as facilitators--the goods are sold & handled by private individuals.

                        I wouldn't want to be seen walking past such a yuppie hangout as Starbucks for fear I was thought to be a customer. Except that I wish I had been in the one whose manager was fired for throwing out the two black loiterers, so I could have congratulated her for her courage.

                          No, the CUSTOMERS put the Mom and Pop stores out of business. If you want to keep Mom and Pop in business, keep shopping there.

                            Funny how it works. I heard a black guy say similar about white people diluting the blacks out of America. Apparently neither side is happy about it.

                              He ain't lying! The liberal agenda includes no objective more urgent than ending "white privilege" by transforming the population into a mulatto nation. Same thing going on in Europe by the race-traitors doing everything possible to encourage invasion from central Africa.

                                Yes, customers drove the mom and pop stores and local and regional chains out of business.
                                No Wal-Mart for me, I don't like they way they treat their employees.
                                No Starbucks for me, don't like their politics. Ditto no Amazon.
                                Self checkout ? They probably have a hard time getting employees to work when they're scheduled, stay for their shift-show up for work sober. "Managers" are probably new hires, poorly trained-if at all.
