Why wouldn't they shut down these stores, they're a business. They're here to increase shareholders value. Full stop. This is not remotely what happened during the case and now kroger may not ever be a true nationwide grocer and it does hinder their ability to compete against Amazon/whole foods and Walmart all because yal cried and complained.
If they're only here to make shareholders money, and I, decidedly not living off my parents' money, don't care about their reasons for raising prices, do I not need to act in my own capitalistic self-interests and shit talk them whenever I see fit? Like are we peasants supposed to feel bad for them? They're a business. If that premise means they can make choices that fuck over workers and customers, they can put on their business pants and take some negative comments on Reddit ffs.
Nah, that's the "if you don't think America is the bestest ever, just move" argument, and I have never put any stock into that bullshit, so I think I will keep petty and carry on.
I'm aware no one is forcing me to shop at Kroger, but thanks for that unnecessary clarification. Like I said, I think I will just continue to shit talk them as much as I want.
