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.)
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).
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
