Aiding And Abetting The Crapification of America
Just saw this on Twitter today; it's from March.
I'm really trying to live a local life here. I've pretty much stopped driving, I shop at the local fresh market instead of Jewel or Dominick's -- it costs more but the experience is infinitely better. I recently had to run into a Jewel for something out in Skokie, and it was just a grating, unpleasant environment, comparatively speaking--- and then they hustle you into these do-it-yourself checkout lanes that are a complete and utter pain in the ass, while you still pay the same price for doing all the work at a fraction of the speed a pro can do it at. I'd sooner have a boil implanted then spend time in a Jewel or Dominicks*.
Anyway, read the MoJo piece from up above. It's about the crap jobs at these online order-fulfillment warehouses. The crapification of America-- it starts at WalMart, grows exponentially as we order everything
