There’s a crime wave at CVS, but you’re being lied to about who’s behind it. The company is under-staffing stores, underpaying workers, and forcing pharmacists to chase money at the expense of patient safety. “I’m afraid I’m going to kill someone,” said one pharmacist.

    There’s no real market for what the middle class of 1980 would consider fancy anymore. Either you make just enough to splurge on the 2-ply paper or you make so much that anything less than 1000$ is chump change in the eyes of the market

      I’m talking more about stores.

      There used to be a deeper ranking structure on where people shopped for groceries and home goods, with strip malls at the bottom. This is part of the reason why people dressed up going shopping; it was a display of economic class.

      Retail has flattened significantly across a lot of sectors where there isn’t the levels of retail there used to be.
