As it turns out, the “air” in snack bags isn’t just air at all. It’s taste-preserving nitrogen that fights off staleness and protects bags from pre-snack time squashing. Who knew?!

The process of filling bags with nitrogen even has a name — it's called “slack fill.” While this benign practice “fills” the bag, it also leaves stomachs empty and hungry shoppers disappointed.

You're almost right, some few unprofessional doctors say let >75% get it and build herd immunity. They're nuts, that's a guarantee of 10-12 million dead Americans at current reported death rates, and >triple that when you realize that without ICU care the death rate rises to 15%, near 45 million dead, and we are already at and over capacity.
Some doctors (likely many of the same irresponsible unprofessional morons) suggested taking Hydroxychloroquine was a good idea, until professionals proved them 100% wrong.

~4% REPORTED deaths, but we now know if someone gets it, recovers but with devastating lung and brain damage and dies a few weeks later of lung failure they don't count that as an official covid related death even when the death certificate does, so it's definitely higher than 4%, as if that's not high enough.
And what's the percentage that have lifelong debilitating effects like either permanently destroyed lungs or severe brain damage to name two?

Opening while cases are still rising, in direct contradiction to the CDC AND Whitehouse guidelines, guarantees another shutdown for longer, and the loss of far more mom and pop shops in the long run, so absolutely yes it's worth it.

Easy to say others should go back to work when you work from home.
Edit: in places where it CAN be done safely, including a minimum of guaranteed social distancing, masks, and sanitation at all times, I'm all for returning, but many if not most stores/shops can't, especially with the anti-maskers throwing fits. Our local stores limit customer numbers and some will act as personal shoppers for anti maskers and serve them curbside. We have had 200 cases county wide so far in the highest risk state, so it's working here so far.

Only kids under 10 are lower risk, kids over 10 are the same risk factor as everyone else, and under 10 can still bring it home to those more at risk. Restarting schools in states at high risk, nearly all states right now, is a guarantee of a longer, more deadly, more costly second wave.

I really, really hope that shopper found the recording. I wouldn't have known what to do with myself - do I bother trying to tell someone about it, knowing they'll likely either not believe me or not understand how bizarre it really was?

Oh for Crikey Sake! They missed the 'extra protein' sticker haphazardly slapped to the back of the packaging ... stupid shoppers! Let this be a warning people ... READ THE LABELS

Canada (Shoppers Drug Mart, the Brick, CIBC)

Why blame Walmart? Why should I hire you at $13/hr knowing that the government would subsidize that wage by 4 bucks?

I would just hire you at $8 bucks and let you get assistance if you needed it.


Its the governments fault.
The government should just stop giving assistance if you have a job.

Then Walmart employees could not afford to work at the low wages.
This would force Walmart to raise its wages to compete for workers.
and the Mac and cheese would 2 cents. Same result and we each shopper pays for the increase.

I think I could just paste my comment on half of the discusions around here. I think I will.

Here in Portland Oregon, A kid with a AR-15 walked into Clackamas Mall on Dec 11 to kill as many people as he could. He shot 3 people and his gun jammed, while he was fixing his jam, a citizen with a conealed carry permt drew his weopon and confronted the shooter, The shooter fled down a stairwell and shot himself. The mall was a gun free zone (the guy with the CCW was breaking the rules) and filled with thousands of holiday shoppers. The rampage was ended because one person could defend himself from the cowardly nutjob. You will not see the real story in the mainstream media.

I like how some people think it's the companies fault shoppers acted like this... like they have no self control.

And others think it's natural human behaviour.... and they have no self control.

And others are embarrassed this makes Americans look like greedy consumerists.

So the genuses at Wal-Mart think it's a good idea to just leave the palettes of bullshit out in the store, wrapped up, surrounded by shoppers, until the "time" and then unleash the crowd to battle each-other.

We've had the technology to manage this kind of conflict since... 200 years ago? Take a number when you arrive, keep all the merchandise behind counters and glass.

Fuck Wal-Mart.

I thought the "Rainforest alliance" thing was just a way for big companies to confuse shoppers with a label reminding that of Fairtrade®, while greenwashing a clean conscience for consumers looking to make a difference in the supermarket.

But after seeing this video, I now understand the the futility and absurdity of trying to make an ecological impact by any other means than simply being a responsible consumer and buying shit. All hail the hypnotoad.

Attention shoppers: Beware of stupid drunk guy driving his car in aisle 9!!! *promote
