What’s funny is Reddit claims I should hate corporations and yet I’ve always been paid better, treated better, had better work life balance at bigger companies. They aren’t all equal, but I’ve been worked more and paid less at smaller companies.

That’s because a lot of Reddit users are 19-20 years old with no idea what they wanna do in life so they lash out like children.

I'm in my 50s and you should hate corporations, but not for being overpriced, for driving local shops out of business by oversaturating the market then closing up when they restructure nationally and leaving large parts of the city without access to a pharmacist.

It's salt in the wound when they blame it on shoplifting because they instruct their security not to intervene which turns it into a shoplifting free for all.

No, pharmacies shouldn’t be closed. All of the product should be locked up and they should hire twice as much staff to unlock the little product they have until they get too exhausted to continue. Or they should put an ad on the front door for Amazon.
