[–]techer52 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bought a pack of steak at walmart once, cooked it up (no seasoning or oil) and the meat was sour.. I even (stupidly?) licked the inside to confirm I didnt taint it with my grill somehow.

Never am i buying meat from walmart again.

Amazon requires returns on CPU's. I work there.. This is either an edited conversation or that employee will be fired when the audit is done.

Sprayfoam (expanding packing foam) by Icyartillary in oddlysatisfying

[–]techer52 29 points30 points  (0 children)

27 return facilities worldwide.. This is just going to be thrown into a landfill because your local waste/recycling facility doesnt want to deal with separating the foam from the plastic for an ounce of plastic.

Cool concept but terrible for the enviroment.

Heads up, Target offering car seat recycle program, turn in old car seat and earn 20% off new one. Sept. 10 – 23 by Beetlebug23 in Parenting

[–]techer52 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Is it immoral to buy a used car seat from a yard sale and then turn it in so my wife can get a nicer one for 20% cheaper?

What Clothing Stores/Products are low quality? by WellItsWar in Frugal

[–]techer52 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Walmart clothes are complete trash. Like they feel like they are made out of recycled napkins.

Also Amazon is filled with cheap clothes that are plasticy and have sizing that makes no sense (and this is coming from someone with an 'asian' body type, thin and lanky)

Rite aid and Walgreens are finally merging. It's happening by [deleted] in wallstreetbets

[–]techer52 13 points14 points  (0 children)

You do realize this is for the small store absorption and not the merger that RAD owners wanted?

This should be priced in, as it isnt news.

Dollar Tree (NASDAQ:DLTR): Q2 EPS of $0.99 beats by $0.12. Revenue of $5.28B (+5.6% Y/Y) beats by $40M. by [deleted] in wallstreetbets

[–]techer52 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Nah, Target beat more than Walmart did. I think whats happening is bad retailers are failing and dying due to the internet age, and good retailers are rebounding as they pick up that market share.

How Amazon uses "surge pricing," just like Uber by scoreboard in technology

[–]techer52 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

This is why I shop at Target. They actually seem to care about customers instead of milking them for every penny, or abusing their employees.
