In America, there’s a very popular car windshield decal sticker that people put on that says “Salt Life.” It specifically just means someone visited a popular beach vacation spot called Myrtle Beach, NC. The people who put it on tend to being almost exclusively sporty douchebags and suburban moms.
That’s about it.
I’ll never not read those stickers as “Slut Life” because of the idiotic font they chose.
Seriously. There is either some serious misconduct going on or this police chief definitely didn’t come up with a polite enough excuse not to attend their bosses bosses boss’s church fundraiser.
The bear has a circle beard. A goatee is traditionally only the hair under your chin, but the definition is pretty loose nowadays.
You are a terrible human being. Stop victim blaming.
This was definitely not a headline that I expected to see today given everything else that’s going on. Fuck.
one of the primary arguments against the original sales package was that C&S does not have meaningful operational experience
Your guess is as good as mine, but the section I quoted may indicate they might be trying to break more into front-end operations.
They have extraordinarily robust market channels set up already and have their hands in the vast majority of the grocery industry for grocers that aren’t large enough to have their own vertically integrated warehousing like Walmart, Kroger, etc.
I wouldn’t be surprised if they negotiate regional buyouts to their existing clients or just sell off the assets. I hope they don’t become a brick and mortar store because honestly that would just be another industry monopoly coming into the forefront.
C&S is just a fulfillment warehouse and not buying anything. They handle the logistics and provide stock behind the scenes. What you’re seeing in what you linked is just them handling the “Store brands” for that particular chain.
Whomever the owners of the new chains are will have a choice of which warehouse they choice to do business with as there are a few larger players, but that depends on the region.
I worked IT for grocery for years and have had to deal with C&S as a middleman numerous times.
It seems more like they used past results when it was convenient for them for their graphic aids and not when it wasn’t. Articles like these pop up all the time and are usually attempting to sell services of some sort. There are numerous promotional links in the original Fox piece and the Debt.come survey.
Methodology: Debt.com surveyed 1,000 credit card holders about how high inflation has impacted on their debt. People responded from all 50 states and Washington, DC, and were aged 18 and above. Responses were collected through SurveyMonkey. The survey was conducted on February 27, 2024.
Surveymonkey is usually a site that’s used to solicit survey completion for a very small monetary compensation. I’d again wager that people who are filling out paid surveys online are likely a cash-strapped section of the population and contributing to the sample bias. This is all intentional though.
I’m not saying people aren’t struggling right now, but 33% seems wildly high. I’m willing to bet that there may be a bit of a sample bias involved here considering the survey is from Debt.com.
These women are getting a pizza delivered.
