I shop sometimes at a regional competitor of Walmart, they range in between Walmart and Target I guess quality wise, with their groceries of lesser or equal quality to those at Kroger.

What this regional chain has done is to install 12 self serve check out lanes having 4 former cashiers supervising -- they laid off the other 8 people I guess and now get the customer to do the for work free.

That is where all this is heading.

I miss the ''special needs'' people these stores used to hire that bagged your groceries. It gave purpose to their lives now they just do nothing and collect aid. Forgetting the money, they seemed cheerful people just to have purpose in their lives.

Well, I rarely shop at Walmart nor do I eat macaroni and cheese. I did once and I know many people do, more often than they should, and for many reasons. The math in the video is ''fudged math'' so I consider it just liberal talking points.

The business model of someone like a Walmart is part of the problem and not part of the solution.
