    Moral of the story:

    Get off your ass and actually shop in local mom-and-pop grocery stores, for the best prices.

      No, that’s capitalist Stockholm syndrome cope.

      The real moral of the story is to fucking riot until we get consumer protection law back that makes this abusive shit illegal!

      Maybe if you’re comparing directly to the inflated Instacart prices, and not the actual in-store prices.

    They are taking the value they give society and squeezing it so much that it becomes a negative.

    They underpay their workers and overcharge their customers becoming something much different that just grocery store operating at established margins.

    The white elephant in the room is unabashed greed and it is a huge issue in our society. We have to stop this classism and worship of money if we ever hope to fix our multitude of problems.
