like they claim to care about stuff like satisfying customers, keeping wait times low, having orders ready far enough in advance that things run smoothly, etc., but upper management shows over and over that what they care about more than all of that is not spending a single cent more on "labor costs" than they absolutely positively have to. so we deal with not enough hours allocated to the department, not enough people IN the department to have the entire day thoroughly staffed, and end up having to pull people from other departments, making THEIR department run worse, just to keep things from completely collapsing. when all of this could literally just be prevented by letting us have enough labor to run our shit
my job is weird because I actually kinda find working in the grocery industry somewhat meaningful and fulfilling, because the main thing we do is provide for people the food and other household things that make life possible, and especially working with online curbside ordering, which I think is a neat and useful service. I'd even say that I like my job, because I enjoy helping people, I'm just constantly frustrated at the fuckin corporation that RUNS everything doing shit that makes it harder to actually DO that job effectively and efficiently

Ah yes, having 50 different states that add a redundant level of government that is usually very corrupt because no one pays attention to their political inner workings (because of said redundancy)--and which are easily played off against one another by capitalist entities in a race to the bottom--is good. I am very smart
@Catsandcatsandcats i'm constantly screaming that people should read the Federalist Papers because it was literally always intended to work that way, the Framers talk about popular movements as if they're diseases that need to be prevented from spreading and one of the ways they talk about doing it is by adding that layer of bullshit to make it next to impossible for spontaneous popular mobilizations to gain enough strength to lead to national-level policy change before being crushed
