Also a STL anon. I fucking hate Schnucks, but they've got a strangle hold on the metro area. It's a privately owned chain beholden to unions that keep their members low skilled and dumb. If you're smelting iron, or digging coal, or constructing buildings, I hope you have a good union that protects you. If you push shopping carts or occasionally run a cash register between your cellphone and gossip breaks, you don't need a union.

I wish Kroger, and I hate Kroger, would just spend the money and drop one of their mainline brands into this city. Schnucks would die overnight.

Rulers is not a mainline chain. It's a discount chain Kroger throws into poor places where they can sell a limited selection of almost all house branded products. Go to a one of the good Kroger chains and you'll see the difference.

ʃchnuckʃ store quality does tend to vary by location. There is one off 364 and Harvester that has terrible selection and the produce is always bruised or starting to turn, but the ones in Frontenac, Des Peres and Ladue are all class-leading. IMO, there's not a bad Dierbergs location, though, and their thing where they smoke meats in the parking lot is pretty neat. I've lived in many other cities, and you don't find that at a big chain grocery store outside of St. Louis (maybe in the South). Better bakery as well. St. Louisans with taste will shop at the Smokehouse or Straub's, though, they have the means to.

While you are right, the reality of unions in certain industries is such that they offer no benefit to the employee and are worse than non union floors because the non union businesses do a lot to prevent unionizing that sometimes actually benefits the employee. It's really counterintuitive but it's what happens when a crab bucket union, of which there are many, is in a field with high turnover.

It is literally impossible to be around blacks and not witness them committing multiple crimes. I was driving through Shaw earlier today, stopping at the stop signs like a normal human being. A nigger behind me got annoyed by my police-supporting behavior and decided to pass me, which he did in an intersection, blowing through the stop sign, while speeding. A few weeks ago, I went to Ferguson for work. The house I went to was under renovation, with workers actively working. Shortly after I arrived, one of the workers came in and said that he witnessed a black walking away with his tool bag. When he made chase, the nigger hopped in a car and they sped off. So when you say that you live around these simians, and you've done so continuously for more than a few days, but never seen them committing crimes, I've got to call shenanigans. You are a liar. Simple as.

employer employee relationships don't exist, this is like saying there's a relationship between citizens and their dictator

While the reality is a lot less harsh, there is simply no power the average employee has unless they use collective bargaining

if you don't like a specific policy your business has that you can see doesn't work, your options are wait for your employer to realize this or quit--you can't change the way you work unless you fight to change the way you work

Literal toddler level thinking. I don't want to get into the details of global trade or supply and demand dictating what is available for sale at local markets. Most fruit and vegetable available in the US is terrible as the FDA does nothing to protect the consumer, quality has been rapidly decreasing for decades. Everything is grown year round, kept in cold storage, harvested early, and sprayed down with ethylene gas to get it ready for stores. It's why all your food tastes like hollow cardboard and lacks nutrients. But it helps farmers increase their profits by 0.003% this quarter so eat the goyslop.

If you want to get decent fruit/veg in the US you are going to have to go to a bougie douche grocery and pay a little extra. That shit isn't available in Kansas where everyone is 300lbs and diabetic because 300lb diabetics don't care about eating a tomato with actual flavor.
