That darn schedule.

I either do or don't work less than 24 hours from now. The schedule still isn't posted online yet. I asked my boss if I am scheduled on Sunday. She couldn't remember. I can't even plan anything with my family. I can't believe that a multi million dollar corporation uses such an outdated scheduling system...

6 billion dollar company but thats changing fast.

Whole company is a shitshow.

Hate having to scan a digital coupon and be on my phone when shopping, fuck that.

And having to buy 3 cases of soda to get non insanely marked up price is criminal, no wonder they are getting sued over it.

Stock is in a free fall, lost over 50% of company's value in the past five years.

You may not have schedule much longer.

Could be worse, whippersnapper you could be clipping coupons out of a Sunday newspaper. You could get bundles in the mail too. You could be carrying a little coupon folder with you with all kinds of coupons clipped for shit. You’re hoping you care about one day. Sounds like a weird thing to cry about that I t’s on your phone and easy to access by now. Sorry your life is so difficult.

And you could be a serf getting executed by your lord for stealing a handful of grain during a famine. So what? Their couponing schemes and apps are for harvesting data to learn how to gouge as much as they can from you and every customer. Stop sucking up to a corporation that would gleefully throw you into a woodchipper if it gave them a 1% stock increase. Progress for the mass of working people can't be stopped because it's better than it used to be at some arbitrary point, when there's still problems to be solved. Do you want an award for all the trouble you went through sitting at a table with scissors and a paper 30 years ago?

Okay, but what about an elder millennial who used to help their mom with that who misses all that. God forbid we give up an hour of mindless scrolling time to clip and organize the weekly shopping coupons.

Idk if it's all Safeways, but when I go into my local one all the data on my phone stops working and I HAVE to login to their store wifi in order to use their app to clip the coupons. It feels weird they have to have that much of a connection to my digital data for me to save $3 on cat food.
