Albertsons

When I go grocery shopping it is unpleasant for a variety of reasons. I do not enjoy driving. And, there's no way I can go to a grocery store using public transport. (It would turn an 1.5 hour activity into a 3 or 4 hour time-waster.)

And quite apart from the very real fact of global warming, why would anyone want to pilot their own vehicle? Every other car must arouse at least a little caution--they call it "defensive driving"--but it is a state of permanent awareness that is actually stressful. By contrast,
if I am riding a tram or metro train I can relax and people watch or read or daydream--none of which is possible if I must pilot my individually owned resource-draining vehicle... Any real independence/mobility that you gain by owning your personal auto can be equalled by a good public transit system.


The fruit and vegetables are not fresh. Waxy apples, and even apples with little bruises,
dark spots under the bruises, and then what looks like a little mold... And by the way,
what the hell is wrong with this company called "Albertsons" that they insist on wetting fruit and vegetables---that does not keep the stuff fresh; on the contrary... How primitive and wasteful! What an insult to the intelligence of people needing to buy the stuff.

All of the bread is crap. I do buy so-called "artisan"bread because it is the same price as the so-called natural healthy bread that's mass-produced, and actually has a crust. But, it is NOT FRESH. The so-called artisan bread is actually produced in the midwestern USA and then frozen, transported to Texas, and finally microwaved before being sold.

If a food has been frozen, it is not fresh, and does not taste fresh---no matter what they say to the contrary.

Back to the BREAD: What they do is criminal! How could they do that to bread!?###*** IT is not fresh; and this claim that it is 'artisan' bread is pure poppycock. Whoever came up with that marketing label deserves a new level in a new Dante's Hell. It makes me want to throw up when I see how in the United States they serve up crap with a fancy package or a pretentious name and then charge more. --And People actually study that sort of nonsense in Universities; people are paid to teach this sophistry!!!!

But all of the food is pretty much lower quality than Europe--East or West....

And on top of that all, the obnoxious, phony holiday music.
there needs to be serious study of this emotional blackmail and dishonesty....
It is part of a total surround of exploitative brainwashing diminishing anti-culture....
and it is most typical of American capitalism...

Hello? Happy! Happy! Happy! JOLLY! JOLLY! The Sappy Season! Yeah joy happiness bullshit. Yeah right! Sorry I see no reason to be jolly or happy or whatever. I am not entitled to tax privileges because I'm earning a quarter of a million dollars. I have NO reason to be happy. Your phony happiness is crappy, thank you very much... And I have a million reasons to be disgruntled.

Grocery shopping: a totally unpleasant experience. And the food you eat, well, it says a lot, doesn't it?--about who you are? about the kind of country you live in?

It's low quality now... and the prediction is that prices are going to go up... What do you call that? No reason to be cheerful, that's for damn sure.

About the food and everything else, I say: I deserve better. You deserve better. We all deserve better.
