Seems kinda weird right? Dog Whistle?

I normally only steal from chain grocery stores, but I'll make an exception for his store if I'm ever in the area

Have seen this one here in New Zealand too.
Was a company selling house insulation for $14.88/m², and the owner was a similarly reprehensible individual:

Fucking fascists and their number obsessions. I don't get it.
Edit: before anyone replies, I do know what the numbers mean. I mean the obsession of using them to display their facism.
-
They used to have a need to speak in codes and hide their beliefs under fear of death. We need to go back to that time.
-
Their ideology is embedded in the numbers. It’s also how African American gangs communicate concepts.
So much of American internet culture is rooted in imperialist lore and Nazi beliefs, like the Pepe frog, KEK, and the monkey NFTs
-
Symbology, magic, supernatural. Looking at crosses, swastikas, an (unopened) book that says “Bible” on the front. Stickers on trucks, flags everywhere, songs they play at rallies when they never actually understand what the lyrics mean.
More proof that they’re all about feels, what a symbol elicits for them, without having to engage in thought. Symbols distill that feel into something compact and thoughtless. Even if it’s just a few numbers. Don’t think. Conform.
-
It's pseudo-intellectualism. It makes them feel smart and special.

The $14.88 sale is free advertising. Plus the guy can say it's just the woke trying to cancel him when he gets his Fox News interview.
-
I mean to some extent maybe, but what is the alternative? Not call a Nazi out for being a Nazi?
I already don't shop there and I tell people not to shop there. Bigger question to me is why is a subreddit that is still cosplaying as progressive, allowing ads for a Nazi? Or anywhere else. That's the bigger fish. Pressure people to stop allowing Nazis to advertise.

How much for a gay wedding cake?

Can anyone bring me into the loop? I don’t know any of the significance here.

14/88 is a hate symbol used by Nazis: https://www.adl.org/resources/hate-symbol/1488

Please don’t link to the ADL. They are a sham organization that openly supports genocide.

Not a dog whistle
this is walking outside and yelling for your dog that’s snarling at the little brown kids

My local Costco prices everything at 88 cents because it's in a heavily Chinese neighborhood and the number 8 is considered lucky to them.
It's not always a dog whistle. But in this particular case it might be. 🤷🏼♂️
-
not weird at all. Just a business advertising. From memory mods don't have a say on what gets advertised in their communities and when it is local community it makes sense the advert is there.

Lolwut. Mods can delete a post because it hurt their feelings. How do they not have a say what's advertised in their communities?

I would keep an eye on this asshole. However, this seems like the first "crazy 8" sale.
If I am remembering right, .88 is a manager sale.
-
Those price 'codes' are only applicable at Costco, and even then, it's more of a 'secret menu' type of thing based mostly on hearsay and rumors.

I fully understand that. Some times people also like to connect things that are not there.
I looked at their last 4 flyers, 5 if you count the spanish version as well. This was the only one that stood out.
There was no heavy use of 14 or 88 in any of the other ones. Even looked at the front page of each and I believe 88 showed up once.
I'm not saying that the owner is a good guy. I would bet a lot to say he is topself shit. I'm not saying he isn't racist. Loving Trump gives that a heavy tilt. I'm saying nothing points to nazi flyer. If the next flyer is 14 and 88, then I'm on board. I just don't want to be Qanon but blue version.

I doubt the millionaire co-owner of a major chain of grocery stores is involved in setting the price of whole boneless beef tenderloin.
Nbd for me, I shop at Conseco's but Rouse's does make really good Italian sausage.
-
Seems like two very noticable strikes against a shitty business to me. Whoever thought this was a good idea made the entire company look like they also believe it was a good idea.
If nobody is willing to clear up this whole misunderstanding, then people might understandably assume that other businesses associated with them also believe it was a good idea.

$14.88 is a very suspicious price for meat and a 'crazy 88 cent sale' is basically confirmation.
If it isn't ibtentional then someone setting prices needs to learn how to avoid dogwhistles. But I'm just going to assume the worst because it usually is.
Don't forget the $1.48 items. They couldn't be more overt without throwing a swastica or Emu's RoMaN sAlUtE
