The city and State are already giving them the money to buy food, now they want to give them the food for free???
These people are delusional
“These people are delusional”
No, they are not. They know exactly what they’re doing.
Won’t WORK. Just like military commissaries. Always running in the red, and will need money from the CITY to keep the doors open. RUN from this trap. It won’t work.
stock merchandisr wont even hit the loading dock for 5 mins.....
True, A majority of people living in Chicago already qualify for food and other assistance as their income level is below a set amount. They get a prepaid credit card [EBT] that is accepted at food and convenience stores. If the is a baby or kid in the family, they get SNAP card too which lets them buy baby food and other kid/baby necessities.
The city does not need to go into the food market business as the private sector can do that. It would help if the cops and courts would catch and prosecute shoplifters. Government is mostly a failure at being a government, so expect government run stores to be a bust, too.
