    Ugh… this reminds me of the time I spotted some hotdogs tucked into a non-refrigerated endcap at a local store. Since they were already room temperature (and as such no longer food safe) I just left them there with the assumption that the staff would clean them up after hours. I went back to the store about a week later and noticed the hot dogs were still there.

      Vance parks in the crosshatches next to the disabled space during a snowstorm so I have to go back into the store again to have him paged so I can access my car in my wheelchair. He then takes 20 minutes to finish shopping before coming out, and acts like I’m the one who inconvenienced him by making him rush. (Yes, this actually happened. It wasn’t Vance, but someone like him.)

        Where I live that AH would get a fine of at least 55€ and get towed (adding >150€ to the bill). That should help learning not to repeat that behavior.

    I’d picture him as the kinda guy that would just make his wife do the shopping. Then if he had to he would make her set up a Walmart grocery pickup and berate the worker while the poor soul loads his groceries in the back of his pickup truck or whstever.

      And he would lose his shit if his wife dares ask him to pick up period products and sulks at the discount furniture warehouse with those nasty cheap couches, where the manager looks the other way if you slip him a $50.

    This post is misleading. Vance has never personally set foot into a grocery store. Why would he? They don’t sell couches there.

      I bet he’s been fooled by patio furniture displays at a grocery superstore at least a few times while he’s been out on the prowl. One of those might even be a part of his project 2025 support origin story.

      Didn’t you hear that all the furniture stores trespassed him? He’s moved on to violating rotisserie chickens.

  • Went to Walmart the other day. When I went to check out, and passed by the impulse buy soda fridges, one of them had a bunch of random items from other parts of the store crammed into it. Frozen stuff, boxed stuff, even a few non-food items.

    I dunno, Vance seems more like the sorta guy that would take the raw chicken into the restroom and pull the couch maneuver…

    Some dickhead once left two 6pks of raw chicken breast in my humongous bin of yams. I came in the following morning to find the fucking juicefest. I had to throw away all of it. Probably 160lbs of yams/sweet potatoes.

      I worked in a grocery store for a while. There was something smelly in the store and it took us a couple days to find it. Someone hid some meat (it might have been shrimp and/or beef) they didn’t want behind 4 bags of dog food at the very back of the shelf.

        Or, fuck, at least take it up front when you check out and just say you didn’t want it. When I worked at a grocery store we’d just run it back to where it should go.

        These same people probably leave their carts wherethefuckever too.

          1. You have no idea if this was as a bigbox store or a local place

          2. Ordinary people are the ones who have to deal with that kind of stupid problem, not the suits in an office park somewhere.

          3. That’s not how you fuck over corporations anyhow, you’re just raising the cost of goods for everyone with no upside. You fuck over the corporations by breaking up monopolies, installing Medicare for All, changing way unions work to make them easier to form and run, make worker co-ops more legally exciting, and require all publicly owned companies to pay out at least 1% of their annual gross profit in dividends each year, among other things.

    He also ends every shopping trip with “hold on I forgot something” while the cashier’s asking for his credit card, then wandering off for 10 minutes.

    He’d open the raw chicken and leave separate breasts individually on each aisle after deciding he didn’t want it. If JD can’t have it, no one can.

    Hides the chicken behind something because he’s embarrassed by leaving it so nobody finds it until it starts to rot 🤢🤮

    Is this tweet going to be used in political science textbooks in the future to describe the political landscape and its intersection with meme culture?
