I work in a grocery store, and I have observed so much shit going up.>Ice cream, was $3, now $3.50>Green onions, was $1.70, now $2.20>1lb of dry macaroni, was $1, now $1.20We also had to throw about 60lbs of produce away. No one bought ANY of it.I was just at Aldi today (don't work there) and realized how much of their shit has gone up. It's not even that cheap anymore since I hadn't been there in a few weeks. They also have electronic tags like Walmart now.I also heard recently that businesses are passing the credit card fees onto consumers now. This is the end.It's a sign that you are going to be nickel and dimed for everything. Nothing is going to get better unless kike billionaires start having their brains splattered.
>>539955816This is what happens when you kick out hard working immigrants before starting a war and doubling oil prices
>>539955975Probably has much to do with the tariffs too. A lot of produce in the US comes from Mexico and Canada (tomatoes in particular, Canada has a LOT of greenhouses)
>>539955816>just at Aldi todayAldi beer is still 39 cents hereWhew
>>539955816There's no such thing as free wealth.
>>539956740I remember at the end of the month business being slow before at the place I work at (no one has money because we get a lot of gib niggers) but now, it's really bad. Before there would still be some customers who would buy stuff, now no one buys any and we have to throw so much stuff out it's insane
>>539955816The potato salad I like to buy jumped from $3 to $4.50 overnight.This distresses me.I am Latvian.We have no potato.Come to America where many potato.Now, America soon become Latvia?If America have no potato, where go?Srsly, tho. That's a big fucking price jump.
>data mining thread
>>539955816>kike billionaires start having their brains splattered.You have the right idea.
>>539955816>Green onions, wasLearn English 30
>>539958235I try to type fast because I am competing with thread space with assholes posting about the stupid Moroccan bullshit and posting bitches
>>539957955Not saying you're wrong, but if you genuinely believe that and aren't attempting to corrupt the data, you're a faggot.Beef where I'm at is 907.70$ per pound.One black bean is a nickel.Niggers tonguing my anus is 45$/dozen.
>>539955816Businesses always passed along credit fees. Offering a cash discount just means they've pushed their margins as thin as they can tolerate.
>>539958429They aren't giving a cash discount. Before, they would just eat the cost and figure it in the price. Now they are going to charge you extra, but the "cash discount" is just the tag price.
>>539955816ALL businesses already charge fees to customers.CC companies charge fees to retailers for using their service, retaliers pass the cost on to customers. Except, it's all customers, not just those using credit cards.Credit was never free, even if they do purport 0% interest. There was always a hidden cost.
>>539955975hard working? every time I go to the store you spics are standing around talking and blasting music from a bluetooth speaker.
>>539959151Yeah, but don't fucking think for a moment that prices are going decrease slightly for cash users. It's not giving THEM a discount, it's just punishing YOU if you use a credit card.
>>539955816Remember when america wanted to sanction the brazilians because they came up with a cheaper payment method?
>>539956740>WhewThis YOU?
>>539957066weird
>>539956301Gets cold outside up here
>>539955816Dollar for a pound of pasta has been the standard for almost a decade where I'm at.
>>539955975This is what happens when you import 100,000,000 subhuman illegal aliens.
>>539958647End result is the same, instead of raising prices and offering a cash discount, they are just effectively raising the price by passing the fee onto you
>>539955816>Nothing is going to get better unless kike billionaires start having their brains splatteredThis is probably going to start actually happening within the next little while and I'm very excited for it
>>539956740How do they do it pol? They've managed to stay at $1 for several decades haven't they?
>>539959151I had Paypal refuse to transfer money out of my account to make me use Xoom to skim my cash with the transfer fee. My account was "locked" yet money could not only still be put in but transferred to another paypal account.I just use a savings account with my bank now.
>>539955816>I also heard recently that businesses are passing the credit card fees onto consumers now.It's about fucking timeWhy should I pay more for using cash and avoiding the card parasites?
>>539958317>Niggers tonguing my anus is 45$/dozen.We've got so many gay niggers in my area that I quit buying toilet paper
>>539955816It's all a part of their plan to suck every nickle and dime from customers. They'll use any excuse to increase the price but never lower the prices. As long as it's not enough to cause riots, they'll keep getting away with it.
>>539959633It was always not so busy at the end of the month because of all of the EBT recipients who had already spent all of their gibs. But now it's massive. No one is buying ANYTHING. We had to throw about 2 cases of corn in the garbage (we're as small grocery store), a whole case of tomatoes away, etc. I question how the hell we are still staying in business when we have to throw away a lot of meat too.>>539959875It's a sign of the times though because you are literally going to have to pay for everything.
>>539955816u r a nickel amd dime in a dozen, mutt
>>539955816i just shop at Grocery Outlet. same products but way cheaper, and there are lots of hot college girls shopping there.
>>539959614Kek!
>>539960148I get 1.5% cashback on my credit card. A card fee would effectively negate it.>>539960355Basically yeah. No one seems to understand either that the obsession with "muh retail theft is way up" is also a way to raise prices.>>539960112Paypal Debit Card gives you 5% cashback on groceries. Now the cunt CEO ended it and it will end tomorrow, I believe.
American food prices are almost Canada tier
>>539955816"Businesses" are parasites. The Capitalists won't tell you that.
>>539960457where is grocery outlet located
>>539957374You know what’s really easy to grow yourself? Potatoes
>>539955816Most place also hate accepting cash, often claiming they don't have enough change but offering to round the balance up to the next dollar or even five dollar amount. It's becoming stupidly annoying just going through payment because there are so many different systems now and companies want you to use the one the benefits them to post. Not sure how any of this is "progress". It used to be simple. You go into a store, the cashier adds up all of your purchases, you give them that amount (or a bit over, with change given back). It was quick and simple. No need for apps, payment networks, and compatible sensors/devices.
>>539959151This is why I use my store branded credit card and collect whatever meagre cash-back points they still give. Never carry a balance
>>539960031It's called profit by volume.MOST companies realize that they are the only option. So, they realize that they don't have to work as hard if they just raise the prices instead.Let's say there's a water bottle company. There's only so much demand for water bottles. Let's say there's a new technology that reduces the amount of labor needed.Are they going A. Use that new technology to decrease prices and increase demandB. Lay off everyone and keep prices and production the same Companies always choose the latter, and that's what you're seeing with the AI layoffs.
>>539960385Fuck off moron. First of the month gibs hasn't been a thing in 99% of the country since the 1990s. Why can't you rural faggots get talking points from the current century? Almost every state now doles out gibs based on date of birth, SSN, or date of approval. Only a couple of tiny population states still do first of the month for everyone since there are so few people in those states. Be a man and use experiences from your own life. Only women and butt fucking faggots repeat the experiences of others and try to pass them off as their own.
>>539960605West Coast. Doesn't exist in my part of the country.
>>539960855
>>539955816>credit card feesIs there anything more jewish than paying money just to move a few bucks around? No wonder why Trump is having a pissy over Brazil's Pix system
>>539961196Peru has something similar too. It's called Yape. It uses a QR code or phone number to transfer money. The sucky thing is that you can accidentally transfer to the wrong person, and it's permanent.
>>539955816>you are going to begood one
>>539960855>Only women and butt fucking faggots repeat the experiences of others and try to pass them off as their own.Quite inflammatory cunt when this is MY experience. I personally have noticed how bad business at my job is compared to how it was before. It's been like this for the last few months.
>>539960578>I get 1.5% cashback on my credit card. A card fee would effectively negate it.Anon...that's the point there is a card fee the merchant pays that's where your cashback comes from.While credit cards have their uses their mere existence raises the price of goods more than you get back.
>>539961668>While credit cards have their uses their mere existence raises the price of goods more than you get back.The "well, credit card users are just going to have to pay the fee" just means that you will be paying the fee on top of the price (which will be the same price as before the fee policy). So cash users do NOT receive a discount, they just aren't punished with the card fee.
>>539958235Actually it's correct, green onions is a singular item when sold as a pound
>>539961668>>539961933Also to add, a lot of places have self-checkouts that ONLY accept card. If they start charging the fee on that, then it will either force you to stand in line OR pay the fee, which is just a slick overall price increase.
>>539955816card cattle deserve itt. cash enjoyer
>>539957374A 3lb bag of onions: Now $3Before, they were $2.50% price increase.
>>539960855GET REKT POVERTY FAGGOT >>539961003
>>539958647Yes, it's a cash discount.>Before, they would just eat the cost and figure it in the price.If you give the same price to the cash user as the credit card user, you're forcing the cash user to pay a higher price than they are costing you to cover credit card parasites.A cash discount is equivalent to a credit card fee.
>>539960855>First of the month gibs hasn't been a thing in 99%Dumbass, the shift to a spread didn't change a damn thing about the 1st being the start of the gibs rush. Everyone in grocery knows the first two weeks are bat shits nuts, the last two weeks super slow. Being gibs, SSI, payday, child support, private landlord here is muh rent and every other structured form of payout hits at the start of the month. Normally the first true weekend is the absolute worst day. So say the 1st falls on a Thursday. By Sat you have 3 days of gibs already rolled out and the crowds start stacking up.But THE worst is perfect storm weekends like right now. 1st hits this Sat so SSI drops on Friday being it has to hit on a biz day as they don't want make people wait til Mon. So store goes full thunderdome this weekend.>>539960385>now it's massive. No one is buying ANYTHINGYeah it's the worst I've seen in 3 years of my wagie cage at a Winco grocery store. Reaching the point where some rows barely look touched. Like for pet, cleaning supplies and paper goods. Brokes will drop their last $20 or barrow from a friend for food but not dish soap.Seen case loads go from say 2400-2800 dry goods, 600/800 deli/frozen down to 1100 dry 300/300 deli/frozen. Just dead dead level of dead. Econ is in terrible shape.
This chicken burger is $2 in Japan. You can live on this forever
>>539965282>Econ is in terrible shape.Yeah, it's terrible. There's times when I have to get carts and there are NO cars in the parking lot at 5PM. Not even in the rest of the shopping mall.It's insane how much shit that I have to mark down. I have been marking down peaches for 50 cents/lb, and STILL no one buys it, the fruit sits, then goes in the garbage. Rinse and repeat... It was NOT like this months ago. There was still some business, but now I question how the hell we cab recover the losses even during gibs time.
>>539955816Starting a war on behalf on the kikes has economical and geopolitical consequences?
Do they charge a fee for cash? They're doing this because most people don't use cash so they're trapped having to pay that fucking fee. I remember lots of demoshit politicians campaigned on ending that, I never heard them bring it up again.
>>539955816Things will never change until the intelligence agencies, underground military-industrial-complex lairs and defense contractor facilities are stormed and the glowniggers and parasites who work there are executed and the data they collect is leaked to the public so that the rest of these government assets, zogbots, mercenaries, glorified jannies and authority figures can be hunted down and exterminated.
>>539955816I shop at Aldi once a week, prices here have actually come down a bit (in the South). Not much, like 20 cents or so, but they didn't go up. Where are you?
>>539960855>Fuck off moron. First of the month gibs hasn't been a thing in 99% of the country since the 1990s.What a sheltered little gay homosexual faggot you are.
>>539967327Pennsylvania. Prices here are probably some of the lowest in the country to be honest.>>539967195No, they don't. They are only doing it for card users, particularly credit card users. And yeah, most people use card.
>>539955816Doesn't affect me, as I have not earned even one single penny in 3 years now and I do not have either bank or credit cards. Get fucked (((capitalists))).
>>539967327I remember at my Aldi:>Normal price for Roma tomatoes: 87 cents/lb ish, NOW, $1.17/lb.
>>539959282They were always just passing the buck for card cucks.Card users should rightfully be charged according to what it costs the vendor to do business with card users.Why should cash kings be punished because of them?
>>539955816>>Ice cream, was $3, now $3.50I'm seeing the opposite THOUGH
>>539967333He’s a lying globohomo jew damage control shill anon
To charge a fee they have to notify you before they do it. If they do I'll just leave all my shit right there and leave lol
>>539967845That's Walmart. Walmart is always busy and can eat the costs.
Use cash.If they ban cash buy things at places that accept crypto.
Ignore the bots here. I was looking through the archives Ive found some posts you might be interested in. This anon had the right ideas https://archive.4plebs.org/pol/thread/539447099/#539457056It’s only going to get worse. If you want to actually discuss things consistantly in a coherent manner - talk about geopolitics, history & conspiracy theories, finance and esoteric metaphysical ideas, places like image board where it's open to everyone is no longer an isloated layer where you can just laugh at normiefags. You are not observing it, you are being observed. If you're getting tired of talking to same-shit-spam-agitprop-algo-bots, anons will have to break the covenant for a while - a chat format not image boards again. /poI/ is only generals and they're bunch if circlejerk chat room on public web.

Credit card companies charge businesses a fee because of all the people who do not pay off their credit card bill and flee the country (Illegals). Then the credit card company contacts the business and tries to get them to raise prices to get them on stealthflation to be capsized by the exorbitant usury (Jews)There will never be a fee for using debit card. Banks invest based upon where the debit card is used, credit card companies only invest in losers.
>>539955816Family of 4, we don't like planning too far ahead of time because we don't like having to eat something we don't feel like eating for dinner, so I tend to do a quick grocery run every 2-3 days... What used to be a $25-$30 run for food 5 years ago is now easily $40-60.It wouldn't be too much of an impact if it was just food that went up, but it's fucking everything. In western PA we pay nearly double what we used to before COVID for electricity. The water bill has gone up 40%. Property taxes are going up this year as well. I'm lucky to make good enough money that my wife doesn't have to work, but we're starting to feel the squeeze pretty bad. Can't imagine the shit situation people who make the average $50k a year and have kids are in. Everything is fucked and you've got the orange nigger on TV saying openly that he doesn't care about affordability anymore and that he just wants the price of real estate to keep skyrocketting. We sure are winning, maga sisters.
>>539962410Or you could just walk out without paying, like real americans do.
