I hate everything being locked up. I am sick of being treated like a criminal when I’m just going to the fucking store.
I’m on camera at the self checkout. There’s staff breathing down my neck as I’m scanning shit. I get followed by Target staff especially when looking at clothes, as though they haven’t put alarm things on literally every single item, even if it’s 5.99. I get my receipt checked at walmart before I can leave. At Burlington they took my cart before I left the store because they said it would lock up if it got to the parking lot. Good thing I didn’t buy anything heavy?
I hate amazon, but at least I don’t have to deal with all that shit. And it’s not like I can escape giving my money to giant, evil corporations anyway. It’s not like I can afford to shop at small businesses. But that’s exactly why they do it. They know they can’t drive people away from shopping at these stores, because we have nowhere else to shop. “Capitalism fosters competition” my ass.
