Walmart’s literal trainings when you work for them reference this by a different name. They call it “everyday low cost” and say that when they “get a volume discount from a supplier” they can “roll back prices” and they offer scenarios in which this happens which are identical to the process timeworntraveler is accurately describing. I worked there 5 years in many different positions around the store and made sure to learn everything I could and I can indeed confirm this is how Walmart works. It’s actually a really easy to understand business model. For all its flaws and despite being quite dated the documentary “The High Cost of Low Price” https://www.bravenewfilms.org/walmartmovie from all the way back in 2005 is still a good explainer of how Walmart became so dominant as to be able to completely set prices for all aspects of its suppliers and often its labor market. I personally witnessed everyone on my team get a $3 raise overnight when Fred Meyer threatened to poach some of our employees as scab labor to fight their union which was on strike. Now I am a union worker set to make a couple bucks more an hour than I did at Walmart but they always try to keep it competitive.
You dont get it bro it’s called EDLC which drives EDLP, lower prices for everyone /sarcasm
Nah, it used to be back in the days the logo had a smiley face, it was the place for affordable abundance. Ever since I worked there 5 years though I see the whole body of the beast for what it is, and the parts you’re not seeing are super ugly on like every level from produce bags chopped by prisoners in Salinas to sexual harassment of stockers by good ol boy management on the overnight team
That’s the shittest department to pawn him off on lol, auto doesn’t even make a profit, it’s a dog to get people in and stuck shopping while they wait. I think they must have done it to get him canned because tech and service writer were super high turnover in my market because you need actual skill to do it right and the job doesn’t pay enough if you do. I personally used to roll on Douglases and get all my oil changes there because of employee discount but only because the auto techs were all attending the nearby technical school and working with a degree of pride guaranteed by their TL who ran a tight ship, I trusted her, women who can thrive in that environment have to both know their shit and be tough lol.
yes I’m boy a nonbinary entity and I was raised on tofu so actualmente la verdad es que no soy boy
False, the phytoestrogens in beer are far more bioavailable, but also the animal estrogen in beef.

Invites are really common on other sites now that a critical mass has been reached where people have invited everyone they know who is interested already and are like selling them, there are already accounts that farm engagement on there like “funny cat pics of the day” or something and it will indeed have some cat pics taken from wherever but the point of the account is to follow thousands of accounts to get followed back, and thereby build a following to sell off. It’s an extremely clumsy strategy but it’s being pursued often enough that you can’t just assume a bluesky account isn’t a bad actor. So if that is the threshold then it’s already been reached.
If you attempt to shitpost on Mastodon things don’t usually go very well. The vibe had to match twitter circa 2013 or else it would never have felt safe enough for the first colonizing species of memes like alf hog to develop like the first plants in a lava field
It’s called the gay community
A lot of journalists are really bad at using the machine they use to do their job and it shows.
Also what do you have against blind people
Have you been on bluesky? There’s lots of furries there
If you go on Bluesky they will tell you. Lots of people saying that they feel isolated because there is no algorithm feeding engagement, and federation doesn’t lend itself to finding your friends from Twitter easily without one of those migration tools people were using. Then another chunk describe Mastodon users as a “HOA” because someone told them to put a CW on something.

Fake Bad Bunny tickets got the only zoomer I know, she was out $200, but that’s not a great sanple size.

Oh no heaven forfend they take their heavy roadblocks out of narrow SF streets
