"F... Jesse Jackson!"

Well, I guess I’ll now have to go out of my way to buy from Krogers.
I love self checkout. It annoys me that the local Safeway doesn’t have that option, but it’s in a 55+ community so maybe their demographic doesn’t fit.
Geez, this is like seeing a 1950’s movie for the 20th time. Jesse is so “old hat” he’s boring.
Just how does a boycott of a closed store work ? /S
Kroger near me is thriving but my small town of 100K population has low crime. As someone with a computer science background I wouldn’t mind ‘self checkout’ if the interface were developed by someone with some sense (e.g. can’t handle 2 labels on one item which reflects aggregate weight) and it didn’t ask me which of 2 languages to choose when it is clear I am in the USA. (I would expect travelers would want more than 2 options).
“Famous civil rights leader Jesse Jackson has set his sights on Kroger after stores closed in a predominantly black neighborhood.”
More groceries being stolen than paid for?
Jesse, The Kroger Corporation applauds your boycott.
Keep your shoplifters out of our stores you race-baiting assclown from hell.
Grocery business is small margin and dog-eat-dog. Especially with WalMart and Amazon in the mix. Doesn’t take much product growing legs to put a store under.
I have a very nice grocery store three blocks away. I refuse to let my wife shop there. One of the executives made some extremely inflammatory comments that clearly stated he did not want the business of gun owners.
He lost our several hundred dollars a month of business.
Klein’s Shop Rite in Harford County MD in case you’re keeping score.
W P O S
worthless and you know the rest
Kroger owns 28 businesses, most of which are grocery stores, like Dillons, Harris Teeter, Fred Meyer, etc. Looks like Albertsons owns about the same amount of other grocery stores. It all conglomerates now. Practically monopolies, but not quite. There’s at least one other huge grocery conglomerate, but I don’t know who it is.
If there are no stores it should be easy to boycott.
That and the crime in the parking lots. Jesse and his pals in black leadership have lots of money. Why don’t they open a grocery store in those areas? Surely they could make a go of it since it’s such a great business opportunity.
I thought they were the “Just Us Brothers”? Anyway, that old coo...t still around?
In Baltimore during the riots they burned down a new CVS so the neighborhood no longer has a drug store or those jobs.
Hardly a day goes by in the store when my brother-in-law gets the comment by a black person "You hate blacks, don't you!". Some of the time he responds "Some of my best friends are black so back off!", other times he walks away, and one time he got punched in the face. I've been on his case to retire before he gets killed, but he needs the money and will probably be working one more year. His Walgreens is the store in San Francisco on Geneva Avenue that had a shootout 3 weeks ago at a barber shop next door with cops, his store went on lockdown, perp died, 5 shot including a cop. Neighborhood getting worse and worse with blacks coming from a housing project down the street. All they do is cause trouble.
It must be practically impossible to entice workers for the low-wage positions in a supermarket in an area where NOBODY works; I see posting on indeed.com for those positions all the time. My town (between Newark and Jersey City) has a Wal-Mart that attracts customers (and shoplifters) from both, and it is amazing how nasty the welfarians are to the employees. I couldn’t imagine working that job in THEIR neighborhoods (the “food deserts”).
Newark now has one or two chain supermarkets; most closed when the city fell half a century ago, and there was simply no reason to replace them.
The Wal-Mart in my town has them simply loading flat-screen TVs into carts and walking out; when they stop them they make a scene (but get locked up anyway).
The store was built in the meadowlands where contamination probably ruled out building housing; they are far from the residential area.
Jesse just jacking off his mouth again, trying to regain the relevancy he lost to SharpTON under bh0
