Another fun fact: Kansas City is fascinating in that it was served for decades by all of the “big three” (A&P, Kroger, and Safeway) and in that all three chains pulled out in about a ten-year period starting in the late 1970s.

Oh boohoo, somebody call the fucking whaaa mbulance
They probably went bankrupt paying stock clerks.
In 1985 I started making $ 6.00 hrs working for my uncle in the paving and grading buisness, and worked with him for 14 yrs. I worked my ass off and destroyed my back and wrists running jack hammers and vibra plates and running equipment that needed better seats. I did not make a lot of money but I got the experience, hard earned. Six more years and it will be a wrap, but then I’m old, lol.
Maybe because of all the stock the stock boys moved out the back door for personal gain?!?
Jeebuz, I had to pause the video a couple of times to catch my breath. Dyin' of laughter.......
Funny man, Even the produce manager had to get the on duty manager to both unlock the rear door. They understood loss prevention. They were not a TG+Y organization as groceries back then were thin margin operations.Maybe because of all the stock the stock boys moved out the back door for personal gain?!?
Come to speak of it the Produce manager got in deep shit for offering mini whites to the regional VP's son just after I moved on.
Don’t worry, I still have my tactical assault sneezes and my heavy artillery coughs
I don’t know and I don’t care. My abs hurt so bad from laughing so hard
Rules and shite…
I’d have so much fun crushing souls while taking my kids to the grocery store in this monster
Edit: here’s an article about this beautiful monster

That, and it really doesn't matter who blocks who first. You still get the references if someone replies to someone you block. " You are blocking xxxxxx. Click here to view anyway."
ran stores for 2 chains,
first was non union, to the point that if anyone did organize, they were told do it and we close the store,
the other was a union shop,
the non union had a payscale that was flexible, as in a baggers wage scale may start at say $7, (been out of the business 8 yrs, not sure what wages are there now) and top out at $10, with 50cent increments, so as a manager, I could hire a bagger at any slot on that scale,
train them to run a register and they went to a different job class and the scale changed, etc etc,
dept clerks were much higher, and some positions got a premium
when I switched (W/D went bankrupt, pulled out of VA) to a union shop, the scales worked differently,
in this are, in 2004 till I got out of it in 2015, it was all scale based,
you got points for time in the business, and points for experience in different depts,
so a basic bagger, never worked a day in his/her/they life, got in at basicall minimum wage (wanna say $7.25 then,) but a clerk hired for a dept with 20 yrs exp, and experience all the depts, would be hired at top of the scale,, then about $10.50 maybe $11, and would not get a raise since they were at the top of the scale unless the contract called for it, (in the non union company that employee would be hired in at $12 or better and get a raise every year)
contract was extremely weak, and those that paid (Va is a right to work state, you did not have to join to work in a union shop) the $10 or so a week in dues got basically nothing for it,
Worked as a concrete laborer for 2.50/hour in 1966I made $5/hr roofing in the mid-'80s (working alongside illegals and convicts), and that was a FUCKTON more than the other HS kids slinging icecream or working a cash register. It was "real" hard work, but I loved the fact that I worked as hard as the men and got paid for it. In fact, some of them didn't like me because of how hard I worked. My paychecks had massive girth for a 14 y/o. I had knives, swords, Jivaro Blowguns, and all sorts of geedunk shit out of the back of Soldier of Fortune that ya'll could only look at the pitcher and dream about.
Then min wage was 1.62/hr in my AO
I did pretty well
Just got these from Amazon. I am headed down to WalMart to the produce section.
How many bow kills?
In the early 90’s, I took what money I had and started a whorehouse. I ran that fucker by hand for a couple years until I could get any girls hired. Hard work, Kleenex, and sweat will get you far in this world.
I'd buy a bunch of that stuff just for the fun of having it displayed.
One of the few things they do well, the Saudi’s usually solve that problem within a month of the crime.
Nope, just providing some wage data I found for 1975.
I'm assuming the image you pasted was for 2024. I have no idea what bearing that has on 1975-1978 facts.
I found that same information for 2024 but it wasn't relevant to a 1978 discussion ... here, let me add the link to where you copied the image.
