Everything was so fucking expensive. They also put in those refrigerators where it has the ads and they're just as fucking awful and weird as the pictures would have you believe. Also, the big cctv showing you as you go down the aisle and check out are fucked. At self check out you can no longer mute it so it has to talk to you. Finally, they hired security to stand at the entrance of the store which is gross. edit: Some stuff was also locked in a cabinet

The devil is in that store. I'm so fucking pissed.

    My local supermarket recently installed automatic gates like they have at train stations that can they presumedly lock if they suspect you of 'stealing' their criminally priced goods.

    The West is so free!

            You should see the article this image comes from. Basically the whole thing labels people who don't like the surveillance as "weird conspiracy theorists" and "most people don't care" and "It's a private establishment they have a right to protect their stock"

            I fucking hate this country

      fill your cart with canned goods and push it at full speed

      They tried that at my local store and someone just broke down the gate rat-salute-2 Then they tried GPS locking the shopping carts so someone stole all of them
