Stop and Shop is tanking on purpose

I have always like shopping at Stop and Shop. My only other option is Market Basket and I prefer Stop and Shops layout. I also like that it is a union shop.

Today was my last day shopping there though. For the fifth time this year, I have bought a product that was legit bad. Today it was sirloin steak tips. $14.89 / pound too! They looked great. When I opened the package they smelled a tiny bit funky. I thought maybe I was imagining it. Nope. Cooked them up and they were bad. Like not edible bad.

I got to thinking. How could a business be so far from any good at their core service? What I came up with, is that Stop and Shop is tanking on purpose. They are driving the company into the ground so they can get rid on the union. It’s the only thing that makes any sense to me. The prices are sky high. The staff is too spares. The stores are dated. The quality and selection of products is poor at best.

Hopefully I can find some way to avoid the horror show that is MB. It too damn right in there and the layout makes my head spin.

Thanks for reading.
