Walz puts his cart back. Vance leaves it sitting in the parking spot next to him.

If he notices, he chuckles to himself. But I'm feeling like he wouldn't care enough to notice which direction the cart goes, as long as it doesn't inconvenience him.

Vance parks in the crosshatches next to the disabled space during a snowstorm so I have to go back into the store again to have him paged so I can access my car in my wheelchair. He then takes 20 minutes to finish shopping before coming out, and acts like I’m the one who inconvenienced him by making him rush. (Yes, this actually happened. It wasn’t Vance, but someone like him.)

Where I live that AH would get a fine of at least 55€ and get towed (adding >150€ to the bill). That should help learning not to repeat that behavior.

Yeah, I live in The Land of the Free™ (to be a complete arsehole).

I dunno, Vance seems more like the sorta guy that would take the raw chicken into the restroom and pull the couch maneuver..

Hides the chicken behind something because he's embarrassed by leaving it so nobody finds it until it starts to rot 🤢🤮

54

Not because he's embarrassed, but because he wants employees to suffer.

34

Hiding it requires caring, even if in a negative manner. People like him simply don't care at all, at least to an individual level. Why should the aristocracy care about the help?

The poor, as an amalgam, are vaguely worth caring about it, taking $50 off of 1 million people is actually worth the effort. After all, $50 is next to nothing. Who would even notice the difference?

In many ways, amoral indifference is far more horrifying than active evil. No one sees themselves as the villain of their own story. Crushing ants also doesn't make you evil (though the ants will strongly disagree).

Probably played reverse Easter with that tray of eggs once the camera cut out

Some dickhead once left two 6pks of raw chicken breast in my humongous bin of yams. I came in the following morning to find the fucking juicefest. I had to throw away all of it. Probably 160lbs of yams/sweet potatoes.

34

Or, fuck, at least take it up front when you check out and just say you didn't want it. When I worked at a grocery store we'd just run it back to where it should go.

These same people probably leave their carts wherethefuckever too.

  1. You have no idea if this was as a bigbox store or a local place

  2. Ordinary people are the ones who have to deal with that kind of stupid problem, not the suits in an office park somewhere.

  3. That's not how you fuck over corporations anyhow, you're just raising the cost of goods for everyone with no upside. You fuck over the corporations by breaking up monopolies, installing Medicare for All, changing way unions work to make them easier to form and run, make worker co-ops more legally exciting, and require all publicly owned companies to pay out at least 1% of their annual gross profit in dividends each year, among other things.

I worked in a grocery store for a while. There was something smelly in the store and it took us a couple days to find it. Someone hid some meat (it might have been shrimp and/or beef) they didn't want behind 4 bags of dog food at the very back of the shelf.

So you know, if you have taken a perishable item from a cooler in a grocery store and later decide that you don't want it, the store has to throw it away.

I've worked in a lot of grocery stores in multiple states for over a decade and this has never been true in my experience. Staff puts their hand on it, if its cold it goes back in the cooler, if it's warm it gets tossed. It is not a definite garbage item despite the lingering urban myth. If it is true its a store policy at one company, and it must be regional because no major national chain does this.

15

I work at a grocery store now and what you say is still true.

Items are only thrown out if they've been removed from the store before returning.

Is this tweet going to be used in political science textbooks in the future to describe the political landscape and its intersection with meme culture?

Yep if you're comment is good enough they'll include it in the post capitalism reeducation text book, good lucky buddy.

JD Vance doesn't know how to order donuts at a donut shop.

He doesn't do his own shopping.

JD Vance walks into a supermarket: "Excuse me, how long have you worked here? Can you provide me a basket of groceries? Put in what's reasonable."

I'd picture him as the kinda guy that would just make his wife do the shopping. Then if he had to he would make her set up a Walmart grocery pickup and berate the worker while the poor soul loads his groceries in the back of his pickup truck or whstever.

13

And he would lose his shit if his wife dares ask him to pick up period products and sulks at the discount furniture warehouse with those nasty cheap couches, where the manager looks the other way if you slip him a $50.

1

He'd open the raw chicken and leave separate breasts individually on each aisle after deciding he didn't want it. If JD can't have it, no one can.

Ugh... this reminds me of the time I spotted some hotdogs tucked into a non-refrigerated endcap at a local store. Since they were already room temperature (and as such no longer food safe) I just left them there with the assumption that the staff would clean them up after hours. I went back to the store about a week later and noticed the hot dogs were still there.

It's interesting that with the new affidavit leak, just a few years ago he was a never-Trump moderate, and now he's distinguished himself as one of the most vile, feckless, shameless chuds in the game.

As an Ohioan it was always clear he was a disgusting freak, there was a lot of discussion about him when his elitist couch-cucking manifesto was released, but he's really turned up the volume on the worst parts of Republican discourse. Just goes to show what "mainstream" conservative discourse is, and where it is headed -- as well as what the backlash will be if they keep on it.

Kamala seems like someone who can make a bang on spaghetti. Trump eats his steaks well done.

Trump eating steak? Nah. Still too sophisticated.

This is a guy who bought Fast Food as a celebration.

Here's the idiot eating McDonald's while visiting Japan's Prime Minister.

12

Visiting Japan and he eats McDonald’s…. what a fucking heathen. He is known for liking well done steaks with ketchup too, though.

4

Tomato ketchup straight from McDonald’s packets. And ofcourse he uses the Fancy Ketchup, because he’s classy.

8

He also ends every shopping trip with "hold on I forgot something" while the cashier's asking for his credit card, then wandering off for 10 minutes.

This post is misleading. Vance has never personally set foot into a grocery store. Why would he? They don't sell couches there.

8

I bet he's been fooled by patio furniture displays at a grocery superstore at least a few times while he's been out on the prowl. One of those might even be a part of his project 2025 support origin story.

1

Didn't you hear that all the furniture stores trespassed him? He's moved on to violating rotisserie chickens.

Vance would go behind someone's back and toss it in their cart on top of all their fresh vegetables.

Went to Walmart the other day. When I went to check out, and passed by the impulse buy soda fridges, one of them had a bunch of random items from other parts of the store crammed into it. Frozen stuff, boxed stuff, even a few non-food items.

"Looks like someone didn't have enough money for all the things they wanted."

3

Ever since I saw one of these that I disagreed with politically I realized how dumb they are.

2

Politics aside, what would you do if you see a person behaving like Vance in that screencap?

I'd probably try to get in their way and talk them out of it, blocking their path with my hands, but I wouldn't stay long enough for it to become a real confrontation. As soon as I feel he is in the mood for fight or screaming, I reduce myself to leaving him and reporting it to store workers.

1

I've seen someone leave a whole raw chicken in the freezer on top of the ice cream and I pulled it out myself and asked him if he had any respect for anyone else.

"this will show that politician whom I dislike a thing or two" 😈 writes comparative fan fiction

i just don't understand why these politicians think they can walk all over us an' commit blood libel with consequences like these
