@AcadiaStrong@lori_kopf They're so unsettling looking. Like it just looks so odd when she does tummy time and those things are ballooned up into her giant chin bag.
JFC! Want to pay more for bottled water when the temp hits 90 degrees? Shop at Walmart and Kroger! Want to pay EXTRA for the privilege of grocery shopping to feed the family after a long day at work? Just shop at Walmart and Kroger!
Hey, @Walmart & @kroger, Go FUCK yourselves.
Walmart and Kroger are quietly rolling out an internal store technology across America that could either modernize retail or bankrupt the middle-class family budget.
Starting across thousands of locations heading into 2027, traditional paper price tags are being ripped off grocery shelves and replaced with cloud-connected digital screens. Raise the price of bottled water by 20 percent the second the afternoon temperature hits 90 degrees. Surge the cost of ground beef, milk, and sandwich bread between 5 PM and 6 PM when exhausted commuters are rushing home from work. Drop prices at 10 AM on a Tuesday, then hike them right back up the minute the after-school crowd walks through the sliding doors.
Every price change happens wirelessly in seconds from a central corporate dashboard. No store employee has to touch a single shelf.
Walmart has already signed a massive deployment deal with VusionGroup to wire 2,300 American supercenters with EdgeSense digital shelf rails by 2027. Kroger is expanding its own Microsoft-backed system called EDGE across hundreds of supermarkets. Over 60 million digital price tags are already blinking on US grocery aisles right now.
This is not supply chain inflation. This is Uber-style surge pricing built directly into the shelves where Americans buy baby formula, eggs, and medicine.
Last week I sat down for coffee with a former retail pricing director who spent 14 years building supermarket margin algorithms before leaving the industry. What he shared over the table completely changed how I look at a grocery aisle.
"Retailers just turned static shelves into live stock tickers. The question is not whether grocery chains will use instant price changes, because they already spent billions installing the hardware. The question is how much extra money a family of four will lose every week simply because both parents work until 5 PM and cannot shop during off-peak hours."
Here is how the digital grocery pricing system actually works, how it tracks you in the aisle, and the exact phone settings and checkout playbook you need to beat it.
@LilMissMcSwine There is no way I'm watching this cow work her mouth over those damn seeds like that. Disgusting.
It's bad enough with the sucking/gurgling sounds of that stupid ass shisha thing or whatever it is.
@OctarinaSmith@dumpthistruck I would say that I hope all 12 pounds of that cheese rots quickly, but we all know she's already eaten like half of it and the other half will likely be eaten (by her) soon enough.
@butterflyinth19 She's dramatically overestimating. I'd be surprised if she hits 200 steps a day sitting in that rent-a-villa with nothing to do. And she probably uses that stupid scooter around the "compound" too.
@ambrosiapple 12 pounds of cheese isn't even a "pantry item." What is she talking about? Cheese eventually goes bad even if you don't open it. Who needs that much cheese on hand for two people? She is out of control with the food purchasing and she doesn't like being told the truth about it.
I absolutely believe Roz when she says sheโs afraid to leave the house or be in public places. But itโs not agoraphobia. Itโs fear of being judged for her 600lb mass and not being able to walk more than 3 steps. Stop being so dishonest, Roz! #quirkyloverosee
