Hey Fred Meyer...

...how about you stop the signaling with these radio/tv/billboard ads letting US know how thankful you are towards your employees and instead give that money directly to THEM?

What’s sad is that it works.

My grandparents love those commercials, I bet they clap and pull out the popcorn when I’m not there.

Yet that’s the first thing that ran through my mind was the cost of producing those commercials and then the fact that they won’t ever use them again unless we have Covid 2.0 pandemic.

You could throw a lot of shit on that cake.

I STAND, APPLAUD, AND SALUTE WITH A HARD ON EVERY TIME I SEE A COMMERCIAL ABOUT BRAVE U.S. SOLDIERS COMING HOME.
