working at a grocery store has only made me even angrier about inflation and how food, water, and shelter isnt free

like just looking at groceries (not water or shelter) i see just a few bags (maybe around 5 or so) of food costing over $125 USD regularly. I've seen orders upwards of $600. and sure those have been bigger orders but no food should cost that much.

my coworkers and i shouldn't be complaining about the price of food when we get employee discounts.

a single bag of food for myself (usually containing some small pizzas, crackers, milk, and cereal) regularly costs between $50-60. minimum wage in my state is 15/HR. thats about four hours of work for one bag of food

a coworker who works on the front end of our store prides herself on being able to catch theives. everyone says how good she is at it. and sometimes it makes sense, sometimes people are just stealing to steal. but how do you ever know?

when the card reader we take outside is broken we are supposed to have the customers come inside to pay for their groceries if they're paying with EBT. there's a woman who's a regular who has a few small children and when she comes to pick up groceries they're usually asleep in the car.

am i supposed to make her choose between leaving her children alone in the car or waking them up and taking them inside?

four hours of work for one bag of groceries. is this not also theft?

four hours of work. let that sink in. four hours for one small bag of groceries.

we aren't supposed to accept tips but if we don't accept tips then how else are we supposed to afford our groceries?

i haven't seen a single person stealing food. you cannot steal whats already stolen.

although im no longer a christian, the teachings of my childhood have stuck with me, and in the bible it says "When you reap the harvest of your land, do not reap to the very edges of your field or gather the gleanings of your harvest. Leave them for the poor and for the foreigner residing among you."

society has reaped right up the the very edge and beyond of its fields, so it's up to us to reap what we can

truly one of my favorite things about the klapollo dynamic is that yes klavier is a world-famous rock star with tons of fans and probably a grammy or something, but apollo truly Could Not Care Less. it's the least interesting thing about this guy to him. he doesn't even like his band's music. he went to one of their concerts and decided he'd prefer to hang out backstage during the last 3rd of the show. he likes one (1) gavinners song and its an acoustic ballad collab that klavier doesnt even sing on

anyways. loop. they j. they literally lost everything they lost EVERYTHING their name their face their body their family their world. literally every single thing they had except a single silver coin. the only thing the ONLY thing they have left of who they used to be

they thought they were free after years of knowing without a doubt there was no future for them. knowing all there was for eternity was the same few hours was watching everyone left in their world die in front of them was failing and failing and failing and failing and failing with no end ever ever ever and entirely completely and utterly alone

and they finally got a glimpse of hope they finally WON theyd finally get to be free and have a future and move forward and experience new things and live

and then all of it was yanked away before they could even process it. and they just wanted help they just wanted something

and instead!!! they were forced to be that help for someone else instead. someone who got every single thing they lost. their name their face their body their family their world and the help they begged for on top of it all

and despite that, despite all of that, even when they were so so angry even when they were seething with jealousy they still helped, they still did everything they could so that this siffrin wouldnt have to suffer like they did

they helped make things easier for siffrin. they helped make things go quicker for siffrin. they helped keep siffrin from losing his mind. they reminded siffrin of their friends names. they reminded siffrin that he was real, that he was here with them

and when it came down to it, even after siffrin cursed them, even after siffrin burned every bridge they had, even after siffrin made it clear they wanted nothing to do with them anymore, they talked to siffrins family. the family they lost. the family they gave up when they became this. the family it hurts to even look at, much less talk to. the family that didnt recognize them, didnt remember them. for siffrins sake. so he wouldnt make the same mistake they did. so he wouldnt turn into them

and then and then and then. even when all of that jealousy and anger and grief boiled over and they lashed out they couldnt bring themself to really hurt siffrin. even if they won they couldnt bring themself to kill them. even after everything, even as theyre fading away, one of the last things they do is help siffrin still, making him promise to talk to the others, not to bottle things up anymore

and after all of that. they still dont believe they deserve thanks. they still cant accept that theyre important. even after everything they did, after everything they lost, after all the ways they helped and all the times they were kind when they didnt have to be. i feel ill
