City of Long Beach forces Grocery Stores to boost employee pay by $4.00 and hour...

and predictable results ensue. This post could have possibly risen to the levels of acceptability on Coug's new snooty finance board but fuck'em. I'd rather be slumming it here.


grocery chain Kroger says it is already compensating its employees extra amid COVID-19, and the firm reacted by promptly announcing the permanent closure of two stores over the mandate.

The state agency in charge of ensuring “fair prices” ordered some 214 supermarkets owned by 26 chains to drop their prices, pro-government newspaper Ultimas Noticias reported on Saturday.

“This Tuesday we received an accusation and we deployed immediately. We confirmed that the big chains were increasing prices without any justification, because they were doing it for products that were in stock, not new ones,” William Contreras, the head of the agency known as Sundde, told the paper.

This is why we need universal healthcare and a robust welfare system or UBI. It’s obvious those stores were struggling anyways and using this as a scapegoat is convenient. It’s sad that people lost their jobs but a business that can’t pay a living wage is a failure, no matter how desperately you want the rich to walk on your backs over that puddle.

It’s pathetic that you guys fall for this every single time. A corporation or billionaire whines about anything and you immediately drop to your knees and put their balls on your chin. And then you cry about globalism like you’re not the ones enabling them to be able to do whatever they want, whenever they want.

I work in a place that has been compensating employees since last March. So my coworkers and I have been well taken care of since the start. This newly added extra pay resulted in my company taking away one of the two yearly raises. Doesn't really effect me as I'm capped out although I feel really bad for the people that are trying to claw their way up the ladder. This is a pretty big setback for some of them. Having public servants that have no idea how the scales of business work is retarded. As one arm goes up another goes down. The money doesn't come from thin air. It boggles my mind. My company is extremely solvent so we won't see contraction but I feel for people that may lose their jobs because of this "hero pay" when all of us grocery workers haven't missed a paycheck since the pandemic started. Seems misguided. Maybe these dopes should SJW for food service workers or small landlords. They've all been fucked especially hard. Two cents asked for, maybe a half cent given.

Honest question - Are you in a Union and if so how much are your monthly dues and what do you think they get you?

The grocery stores were already paying their employees more money due to Covid. The city just came along and mandated that they pay them even more.

Thought so.

Without fail, this is how a leftard argues, from the KobeSlobberer, the Dazzler, or George Stephanopoulos -

1. Play the racist/bigot card.

2. Make a weak lame ass moral equivalency argument.

3. Phuck some strawman ass

4. Ignore a request for information.

5. Lie.
