People that try to impress others with their 50 cent words splashed around their sentences.

I would like to leverage your post with my synergy and do a deep dive into your core values with a deep drill down into your effort to unpack the needless use of buzz words.

Roadside vendors are the worst. Saw a sign once for someone selling "flour's".

I dunno, I like, even prefer it. Scanning items, putting them in a bag and running a credit card isn't rocket science. I'm perfectly capable of doing it myself. Seems a better use of those employees time be doing something useful like stocking shelves instead of leaving pallets/U-boat trucks blocking all the aisles.

do what you want, I prefer not to work for free. Do you get a discount? Do you receive a check?

“She was later arrested on warrants for shoplifting but her case was dismissed a year later for “want of prosecution,” according to the lawsuit.

Then in December 2016, according to her lawsuit, Nurse began receiving letters from a Florida law firm threatening to file a civil suit against her if she did not pay them $200, which was more than the amount of groceries she was accused of stealing.

Nurse said Walmart had directed the firm to send the letters.

“The defendants have engaged in a pattern and practice of falsely accusing innocent Alabama citizens of shoplifting and thereafter attempting to collect money from the innocently accused,” the suit contended.

“Walmart funds its asset protection department by intimidating those falsely accused of shoplifting out of making a claim against Walmart out of fear of protracted litigation against an almost limitlessly funded corporate giant.”

Yes. By keeping costs low, the store is able to offer the lowest prices, which is what brings the customers in.

I prefer to pay a little more to shop at a store with good service, we have both options in our area, but many are choosing their grocery store on price alone.

The supermarkets by us just left the higher prices they had in place during covid.
I checked their filings, they are making a bundle now that they are paying less for the products and not reducing the cost to us.
The local supermarket now charges more than the high end supermarket a bit farther away!

Pithy phrases... the latest seems to be "It is what it is".

Add to that cutesy-poo abbreviations, like "mayo" for mayonnaise or "veggies" for vegetables (the latter being especially annoying). I once asked the "sandwich artist" at Subway if the use of veggies was a corporate dictate since almost everyone there said that. Just got kind of a blank look.

I've noticed a lot of the store brand groceries at Walmart now cost more than the name brand item sitting next to it. Haven't noticed it as much at other stores.

At my age everything is starting to become a pet peeve.
What really ticks me off is the way the media uses key words to help you draw their conclusion.
