Is the bottom image with or without sales tax? Usually in the US prices are shown without it (as it depends on state, county, etc), whereas in most EU countries and I'm assuming Germany as well, prices for consumer goods are generally shown with taxes included

Isn’t Kroger the one that got in trouble for “surge pricing”? Basically corporate whitewashing of price gouging. They also switched to e-price tags that would let them more quickly change prices.

Edit: yes those greedy f’ks did price gouge.

Generally, the staff and vibes are cool. I met some great people working there. They like to put up that front that they're trying to be cool and edgy. I was a cook for a long time at that point and flipping eggs isn't exactly hard or special, but they made it this big ordeal, which is fine but you can't look me in the face and tell me that what we're doing here is a culinary feat.

With me, I worked at their GCM location in L.A. and they were opening up a new spot in Glendale. They asked me to help open up the store under the stupilation that if I worked for so long and did 'X' things, I would get a promotion. When it came time for the raise and I had completed what they asked of me, I was constantly told it would happen, but they would give me the run around. Until finally someone else in the store was eligible as well, so instead of just giving us both the position they made us do a 'cook off' and when me and the other persons food came back exactly alike and they couldn't discriminate the begrudgingly gave me a portion of what they promised.

I cooked for them well, did what they asked of me, and came in on time so they couldn't fire me unless they wanted to pay me unemployment or maybe have me file a fucking lawsuit for unlawful termination. I just didn't play ball with their bullshit and didn't let them walk over me because they left such a bad taste in my mouth with my inital (verbal) offer being essentially reneged upon and they didn't like that at all. So they just made my job hell until I left. L.A. was hands down the worst place to cook. I'm sure there are a lot of opportunities there for people, but man if you aren't taken advantage of at every turn...

Oh, also. When L.A. raised their minimum wage, the store in Glendale didn't get the raise because it wasn't in L.A. and the whole store went on strike because of it. Don't know what happened with it. I just heard it second hand from an old coworker.

These fuckers are opening places all over THE WORLD and they nickle and dime their employees and generally treat them like shit. Fuck Jaime, and all of the owners (they were nice in person but they pulled the strings to make our lives hell).

Edit: forgot to say, glad you enjoyed your pancakes ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ

Thanks for reminding me about him looking straight at the sun like a 2 year old.
