    Kroger and Safeway have been the absolute face of enshittification since the pandemic. They’ve also been accused of price fixing, and are trying to merge into a monopoly. They also regularly abuse disabled employees (at multiple stores in my area).

    I have absolutely no doubt that they will do this the moment they think they can get away with it. In a fair economy, they would have been driven out of business years ago.

      They also renamed a bunch of locations from Safeway > FreshMart and laid off career employees with years of raises and benefits and forced them to reapply under the new franchise name. Same owners, same stores, but LOOPHOLE.

      Fucking assholes.

        That’s so dirty and unethical. I hope their conscience tortures them for years, but I realize that’s wishful thinking since there is a good chance they’ve so completely repressed any concept of ethics or morality that they would sell their own mother into slavery for an extra tenth of a penny.
