Tiny Brontosaurus posted:Like fast food, but for clothes. The cheap crappy popular stuff people buy when they can't afford better or just want something fun. H&M, Topshop, Zara, Forever 21, Old Navy, and part of the collections at places like Target and Walmart. I'm not sure I understand the difference. Is Uniqlo fast fashion? Their stuff is cheap, but their airism undershirts are the best undershirt I've ever bought. My wife used to love Old Navy, but now complains that none of the styles suit her and the clothes wear out too quickly. Is that because of fast fashion? I thought Gap/Old Navy/2 other stores were all the same stuff anyway? I buy most of my clothes at REI or Columbia because, as a fat person, I appreciate cooling and/or moisture wicking garments.

Quidam Viator posted:You're missing out if you haven't witnessed the AYCE debauchery of a CiCi's pizza. Highly reminiscent of th at old Golden Corral post. Autists getting 38 slices of pizza, licking off the toppings and throwing out the crust. Screaming nightmare kids everywhere. I only eat there in Florida, but I have a weakness for their pizza-dough brownies.

All the Safeways around here are giving up on being 24/7 stores. Even the nice ones. I don't often need something between 1am and 5am, but it was nice that I had a choice other than Walmart. I think they're still suffering from the ridiculous turnover rate they had when I worked there 4 years ago.

Detective No. 27 posted:I didn't even know they had 24 hour Safeways. The one by me seems to have a low turnover rate. I've been seeing the same people there for years. It may be a regional issue, as I don't know what WinCo is, except from context. Here in the SF bay area they are constantly shorthanded, so I think they overwork people. I love shopping late at night or early in the morning. It's so peaceful.

I understand "Chibson", but " Fibson" is right there. I go to 18|8 for my haircuts because they do a much better job at making my weird head look normal. However, they seem to be cutting the perks more and more the last three times I've gone. Originally, you could get as much alcohol as you can reasonable drink. Beer, red wine, white wine. Then, they cut down the number of drinks to 1(my stylist told me). Then no white wine at all (reds give me migraines). Finally, they switched from bottled water to tap water. Don't get me wrong, tap water is fine (except the hair dust that can get in). It just seems to me that taking away the things that make you special is a good way to lose business. I feel like that's a trap lots of failing companies fall into.

Bird in a Blender posted:"List Price" for pretty much everything is a joke. I buy tons of stuff for work, mostly pipe, valves, and fittings, and the price we pay is usually 15-20% of whatever the list price is. I don't even really know why it's set up like that, but that's how everyone works. Sometimes people will pay it.

Every Safeway here is so chronically understaffed, they had to take down the "never more than 3 in a line" signs. Turnover is just ridiculous because they treat people badly. Also, cashiers should be allowed to sit like in civilized countries.

Zero One posted:Publix has no self checkout, no behavior tracking "discount" card, and awesome chicken fingers. Wegmans is the greatest grocer and it's not even close. We use our Safeway card to get money "off", but it doesn't seem like there's any reason to use any specific card. Other cards I've had sent you coupons or you could earn a Thanksgiving turkey. Safeway has nothing.

Henker posted:Here in California, some grocer named Haggen tried to expand into the state a couple years back by buying up like 150 different other grocery stores and rebranding them. It ended up being a huge disaster and they had to close all of them within the year. Supposedly they were given bad pricing data from the company they bought the stores from (Albertsons) and massively overpriced everything. And now there's basically Safeway and various flavours of Raleys. Safeway is usually terrible inside and they have huge employee turnover because there's too much work for the number of employees they have. Crunch time at major holidays or whatever is acceptable, but no one can give 110% every single day. Everything is good whenever they open a new store/remodel, but 4-6 months after that everything's hosed up again. I know it's capitalism, but I think most people can feel whether a store is happy or sad, and companies need to realise that a few extra employees are worth the cost.
