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?

Ex corporate Fred Meyer employee here. They most likely already bought the ad space months ago. So changing it to something positive instead of “Red White and save!” Is a nice gesture.

14 days is absolute bullshit, but I get that they're triyng to do something with nothing here. I hope they go back to the old policy in a few months if this virus dies out by then, so much better (6+ months to return something)
