If ethical reasons are a concern, you might want to avoid Trader Joe's as well on account of their union busting activities.
Traitor Joe's is more like it
I hear you. I agree that union busting is bad. I support trader joes employees unionizing. I don't want their stores to close and those employees to be out of a job.

Curious as to what the union’s demands are. It’s my impression that Trader Joe’s treats their employees relatively well. I have multiple friends who work for them and are paid a living wage (in the Bay Area of all places) for working reasonable hours.
If a company genuinely cares about their employees, they'd support them unionizing.
Agreed
Trader Joe's changed their stance during the pandemic and are aggressively fighting unionization. https://www.huffpost.com/entry/trader-joes-attorney-nlrb-unconstitutional_n_65b41e7ae4b014b873b11cc2 https://inthesetimes.com/article/trader-joes-union-organizing-fight
Aldi is so rad and they have the best chocolate.
That Burnt Caramel Sea Salt though. The best!
Those chocolate peanut butter cups are crack. I'm sad that people at my location have realized that, because they are sold out a third of the time.

I already don't shop at my local Kroger owned store because they're anti union cuntfucks, this is just icing on the cake to never enter their stores ever again.

Woof. The logo was always a hint about what they were planning to do to the customers. First the K and the G came for the letter o...and I did nothing because I am not the letter o.
Don't they teach market research in business schools?
Do they realize how unpopular this is and week cost them market share?
Then again, what choices will there really be if this is the trend with all big retailers.
My town has three stores, Kroger, Safeway, and Walmart. As one goes so go they all most likely on this one so idk how I’d even begin to think about avoiding this longer term…
I'm lucky enough to have a WinCo nearby, but I'm not sure how widespread they are
I've been to 47 states and a bunch of countries, I've never seen a winco

Now would be a good time to start a line of headwear that has infrared leds to shield your face from cameras.
IR-Cloak is a wrap around frame designed to shield the maximum amount of your eye measurements from being captured on technology using infrared for illumination or mapping/scanning. With adjustable nose pads and flexible silicone temple ends, IR-Cloak is extremely comfortable and accommodating to all facial features.
Frame is not reflective to cameras (works with IR-blocking lenses only)
Infrared blocking lenses turn black on infrared cameras to remove critical eye measurements
Blocks 3D infrared facial mapping (iPhone Face ID) & infrared iris scanning during day & night

Appreciate the info and link, but $168 for what is essentially a few dollars of SOLAS tape and a pair of IR laser safety glasses? Bruh.
it was a reply to "Now would be a good time to start a line of headwear that has infrared leds to shield your face from cameras."
i won't buy it but it's already out there. He probably produces them alone and can't sell them for less than that.
If you've got the time, diy; if you've got more money than time, $168 may be preferable. There are people who won't be making that much money this month, there are others who buy media platforms as a hobby for $44000000000 🤷
Hm. I wonder if I could get those lenses in my prescription. That would be neat.
How will the camera categorize someone with an led cap?
As an asshole that deserves the highest price hahahaha
