Dear god.
So you think that your paying the employee benefits and wages should be in advance, regardless of whether you shop there?!? They actually convinced you of that?
They blackmailed you into thinking that prices would rise and wages would go down.... Yes, by approximately the fees you pay for membership, whether you shop there or not
Then you actually, genuinely think that you're getting a "gift certificate" without any idea that you already paid for it
Holy shit π
It's honestly scary how gullible the average consumer is
βοΈThe capitalist's wet dream π
The normal supermarkets gouge you for every penny, so you now believe that you're being gouged less by paying an annual fee
Fuckin hell mate π
