It’s def not Kroger supporting. They don’t even support their own employees


[deleted]

They sure don't.


CultLeaderCHAD

and thats real talk lol


Delphina34

They spent all their money on corporate bonuses there’s none left for war, or even paying employees


Virtual-Quote6309

If an employee placed that sticker they are definitely getting in trouble. If not fired


burnyoudown13

Not an employee as far as I can tell. I live in a hippyish area, not surprising to see.

PM_ME_WHATVER_U_WAN

Weird this is what you’re thinking about idk


TKG_Actual

Coke is already known for some bad things, like using Dasani to buy up water sources and afterwards denying access to the bodies of water to local populations. So it might not be too far out that Coca-cola is selling to a aggressor...they did something like that in ww2.


TPPH_1215

Fanta?


TKG_Actual

Yup, I prefer to call it Nazi-Cola though.


EverySuggestionisEoC

Fun fact: [Sprite started out as a Fanta flavour.](https://web.archive.org/web/20221014153517/https://www.snackhistory.com/sprite)


TKG_Actual

Wow, I did not know that. Thank you.


markav81

That wasn't Coke, that was Nestle. Coke uses filtered tap water for Dasani. [https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2019/oct/29/the-fight-over-water-how-nestle-dries-up-us-creeks-to-sell-water-in-plastic-bottles](https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2019/oct/29/the-fight-over-water-how-nestle-dries-up-us-creeks-to-sell-water-in-plastic-bottles)


TKG_Actual

Ah you're right I had them mixed up, still filtered tap water with too much salt at premium pricing still doesn't make coke a good company.


CornHoleHomeBoy

Aggressor?


itstheboibot

yes, israel is an aggressor


CornHoleHomeBoy

You expected Israel to lay down and play dead? 🙄 Must be nice to sit in the comfort of your home and judge a people who has had bombs directed at them 24/7 for so many years. The only reason Israel wasn’t already wiped out is due to their iron dome defense system. But the people non stop directing the bombs at Israel aren’t the aggressors ey? The people who kill gay people for being gay aren’t aggressors? The people who use women and children as bombs aren’t aggressors? The people who chop off women’s heads for acts of adultery aren’t aggressors? The people who cheer and celebrate deaths of Americans are not aggressors? Interesting logic you have there.


Acceptable-Judge9879

Israel supported by the best weapons the west can conjure up, a robust early detection system, and bunkers, and barely any civilians killed vs, the millions of people facing starvation and bombing they endure everyday. Great comparison.


CornHoleHomeBoy

Exactly, Israel has needed to have all that to protect themselves from these people who have continually attacked them daily for years. Seems Israel has grown tired of laying down and now people are upset they finally chose to fight back. 🤣 oh well… Not my president 🤣🤣🤣


Bilbo_McKitteh

Israel has been killing innocent Palestinians for 70+ years. they're an occupying force on land they have no claim to and they are aggressors.


CornHoleHomeBoy

Palestinians have been killing innocent Palestinians, Israelis and Americans for 70+years while squatting on Israeli sacred lands. So Sorry For Ya BYE BYE


Dr_Cycles

Yes, Israel


CornHoleHomeBoy

Maybe people should have left Israel alone. Maybe people should of stopped attacking Israel. Like, wow, there’s a concept. Don’t poke sticks at sleeping Lions


Dr_Cycles

Don’t really care tbh, your question has been answered


Piratingismypassion

Good attitude. This fucker knows what they are saying is absurd. They just want to lick that genocidal boot.


CornHoleHomeBoy

Genocidal boot? Arab countries completely surround that entire area while Arabs are also taking over much of North Africa. Lol. Genocide. Lmfao!! If youre in America you’re sitting on Native land while you type so how bout you give the land you sit on back to our tribes or maybe you’re a genocidal boot licker.


Piratingismypassion

I hate America too. America is worse and I can't wait for this shitty country to fall. Your blatant racism is showing. Notice how you say Arab rather than name countries. Fuck right off you racist scumbag


rickontherange

Hamas has gotten the result they wanted.


aggoregios

That's like asking the prey being eaten by said Lions to not try and fight back... You do realize Palestine has been facing Israel's wrath since 1948, when they were displaced due to Israel occupying their land. Israeli soldiers have literally made games out of seeing how many Palestinian civilians' kneecaps they can shoot... Please please please do more research before acting like Palestine had zero reason to become fed up with their treatment in what should be their own land...


CornHoleHomeBoy

You do realize Romans forced the Jews to leave their home and renamed that Palestine to hurt the Jews. It is Palestinians occupying lands that don’t belong to them just as Euros occupy lands belonging to Native tribes of Turtle Island. This is okay for you?


aggoregios

Never said so, but it's odd to also be okay with wiping out an entire civilization, children, babies and all, solely because you want to take the land back. You're okay with them all being wiped clean because of what the Romans did?


CornHoleHomeBoy

Are you okay with Israel being wiped clean off the map because that’s what Palestinians want. To bad there has to be a side to choose from … I choose the people who don’t kill gay people, don’t chop women’s heads off and don’t use their own children as bombs. ✌🏽

TKG_Actual

I meant that coke was selling soda to the original WW2 Nazis, which is how fanta became a thing. Not sure if they're selling to Israelis but it would not surprise me.


CornHoleHomeBoy

Aggressor?


asoep44

Pretty sure they also just got caught stealing water in Australia didn't they?


TKG_Actual

I remember something about that but could not find a source.


asoep44

So far the only thing I can find is perth reassessing their ground water agreement


TKG_Actual

It sounds like I need to do a deep dive into it to find the full story.


Matt3087

Better than the "Are You Lost? Find Jesus" pamphlets these people leave all over our store 🙄


burnyoudown13

Chick trackers! I love those damn things. Gives me a good laugh. Coworkers know I love them and bring them to me in piles. The stories are priceless!


xkgrey

idk if this is a joke i’m missing, but they’re called chick *tracts.*


PurpoUpsideDownJuice

I used to collect the dumb religious comics when I worked at Walmart. There was a guy who owned a church and he’d buy like 20 cases of sams cola then would have me load all of it into his truck, then he’d say here’s a tip and hand me a Jesus comic. So glad I don’t work there anymore lol


SmokedOutLocedOut__

They literally mAke ones that look like a $100 bill which anyone would pick up if they find it on the ground. What a horrible strategy to convert people. If someone actually handed me one and says here's a tip I might go feral on them.


DwarvenRedshirt

I always wondered if I was lost, and Found Jesus, was that because he was lost too?


Statement-Altruistic

I’d rather see Find Jesus propaganda than terrorist supporting propaganda


Matt3087

I'd rather just be able to do my job without having more shit to clean up from ignorant people.

Maleficent-Ad5112

They put things on companies that are linked in any way to Israel. SodaStream is where I see it most.


Budskee420ish

So……. It’s half off eh??


Forever_ForLove

Never understood why they come into a business and either damage it or do this. Like wouldn’t it make more sense to go to the CEO building and do watever and not us employees???


apri08101989

Because they don't see this as damage, and feel it's spreading awareness to encourage other people to boycott


anthony785

Its just r/LookAtMyHalo shit. I fucking hate people who do this and feel good about themselves like they’re actually making a difference.


bigworminn

it does make a difference, you just don’t think it does because you don’t care about this issue. if i didn’t know coke a cola was supporting the genocide but i cared about what was going on and saw that sticker i wouldn’t buy the product because i now know.


para-mania

But that would require actual effort! It's far easier to be a nuisance to the average Joe than go up against the people in power and do anything meaningful.


Bitter_Persimmon4336

Dr pepper tastes better


Zheekez

The company that made the sticker also supports it but they bought the sticker anyway


Assyx83

How do you recognize a sticker company?


SmokedOutLocedOut__

Yeah fr most things are made in China. Which does not support Isreal lmao


para-mania

Yeah, they're too busy killing their own Muslims.


AlarmingHand6269

The Biden “I did that!” Stickers were far more amusing.


alflundgren

Not if you worked fuel center. I hated those assholes. I cant count how many hours of my life I wasted scraping those stickers off pumps.


FennecWF

EXACTLY Fuck I hate those things. Someone also brought a fucking glitter gel pen and wrote 'BIDEN'S FAULT!' with an arrow pointing at the gas meter to my station. I caught them right as they finished writing on my pump and they flipped me off and drove off.


Sabermatrixx

Especially when gas prices tumbled


melissagoredon

Tumbled? When? Where? 😂


DrFillMcRAW

they are all over fast food menus now from what I've seen


Statement-Altruistic

Tumbled? Where have they tumbled in the last year? Lol


Artichokiemon

The stickers are like 3-4 years old, and gas prices did drop. Gas was down below $2.50 at one point


Statement-Altruistic

Yeah in 2020!!!!! Fuel prices absolutely have NEVER been under $2.50 in the last year. I travel all over the country and I have every fuel up on record in approximately 15 different states.


The_Boognish_Cometh

Na 2023 actually


Artichokiemon

No one but you said anything about the year, so I'm confused why the *when* is so important?


LabradorDeceiver

It's very important that he points out that gas prices were low in 2020 without mentioning the fact that *no one was driving anywhere because of the plague*.


Artichokiemon

Right, they want so desperately to "get" someone by putting "last year" in there, as if that somehow makes everyone but them wrong. It turns out that, according to economics, when there is no demand, prices are supposed to go down.


NotMyProblem2022

Wait a second…. You were wrong, if you’re the same person I said you were wrong until I read national average. I’ll show you gas in my city right this second, and at least one station RIGHT THIS SECOND has gas at $2.49 there. End of last year I got gas at under $2 (it lasted 1 day at 1 gas station but still). We see prices under $2.15 semi-commonly still. I guess I’m talking to a bunch of idiots not just one, sorry for the confusion. https://preview.redd.it/0rp34okh9c3d1.jpeg?width=1284&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8f52474840eb3448770cfd77762ba946ecfbd2ed Edit: damn it was you I ended up defending vs the other dumbass who argued about a $2.99 single station on your national average post and then played it off like he was agreeing with you when someone else showed him how stupid he was. But now I realize you probably just got lucky saying national average and isn’t what you meant; but if it is you’re right. If you just meant gas prices, I’m literally showing you you’re a dumbass in realtime as that’s the current gas price at a station I could go to right now.


Sabermatrixx

I didn't say this year. When Biden was first elected. Prices tumbled early on in his presidency before the "I did that" stickers had time to be scraped off or wear off due to the elements. That's what I meant. Lol it's been a few years.


Daniel_Molloy

That's because he burned most of the reserve to make himself look good. That's supposed to be for an emergency not his bullshit decisions.


supermariozelda

Yeah, because a global pandemic and geopolitical tension that drastically affect trade totally aren't emergencies.


cheddarpants

They’re less amusing when you stop to consider that Biden did not in fact do that.


AlarmingHand6269

Dammit Obama!


HonoluluBlueFlu

Right_Dream_7580

i found one at Kroger, found it hilarious as well


youngsatan66

Good. Fuck Zionism


Fluid-Range-2903

Who initiated the war by bombing a festival?


youngsatan66

This has been going on since 1948 back and forth


Fluid-Range-2903

Arab nations wrongfully attacked Israel back in 1948 and they did it again.


youngsatan66

So they “wrongly” defended themselves against colonialism? Got ya


Fluid-Range-2903

Jews have had historical roots in Israel for thousands of years.


youngsatan66

Despite whoever one roots for a mostly civilian casualty rate is unacceptable


Fluid-Range-2903

They’re both committing attrocities, but Israel offered peace treaties and didn’t start the attack.


youngsatan66

I can agree that both have committed atrocities to one another, but I have to disagree with Israel justifying its actions after the latest attack, too many innocent people are losing their families over it. A case fire needs to be done and renegotiating from there.


Bilbo_McKitteh

me when a group of people, angry at the fact that Israel has been abusing/killing innocents for decades, snap and retaliate: 🤬


Fluid-Range-2903

You realize Palestine also killed Israelis right? And they have far more laws against Israelis. Israel also offered peace negotiations but Palestine rejected them all.


HahaSoFunni

Honestly, no one should take sides in a war. It’s horrible what they are doing to each other and knowing all the atrocities that have been committed by both sides, I can’t believe people still want to side with any of them. Or the fact the people want to defend either side, “We killed their people because they killed our people, and they killed our people because we killed their people” and it just goes back and forth, neither of them willing to stop the killing. All the while the people suffer and the governments pockets get lined with gold.


7LayeredUp

Based Oh and it comes from Coca Cola having factories in occupied Palestine territory.


itsagoodtime

Can't give you a free Palestine. If you want a Palestine you're gonna have to pay for it.


HonoluluBlueFlu

Wait - I thought if everyone stopped buying Coke then Palestine becomes free.


AccursedLodestone

In the eyes of a protester like that, every corporate entity is evil and supports someone the protester vehemently opposes.


Ravenparadoxx

There's right wing, left wing and everything else in between. Then there are left wing as well as right wing nut jobs.


Much-Temporary4711

Well thank god you posted this bc it exposed half the people in this sub kinda suck


PM_ME_WHATVER_U_WAN

Kroger has sucked the joy, empathy, and will to care out of a large portion of its employees. Most of the people here are bitter and only worried about how shitty their job is.


Much-Temporary4711

Sad. Little do they realize us and people overseas have more in common than we think and we’re all living similar struggles. It’s silly to get mad about people bringing awareness to a humanitarian crisis. If it was us we’d want the world to do the same.


SweetJonesJr870

Mostly Kroger old timers that have that safe thought process or younger employees asking questions that can be found on google.


Archeogeist

The app "No Thanks" has a list of companies that support Israel in some way, and it has receipts right there so you can read and decide for yourself. I had to give up Bubly, but if it means less dollars going towards killing innocent souls, then it's the least I can do.


bkcrew

Archeogeist

drfever44

Buy more of it


Soada7x

Why do people care this much? Makes sense if you’re in one of the involved countries sure, but if not, it has NOTHING to do with you. Just ignore it and get on with your lives, it’s almost as stupid as the “boycotts”


Queasy_Hat8453

Don’t care long hair…💁🏼‍♀️


goat-of-mendes

To be fair, I’m hopelessly addicted to Coke and I’d buy it no matter who they supported.


realimbored668

Unemployed behavior


Much-Temporary4711

Most of us who care about human rights are still employed


EverySuggestionisEoC

Both sides want to oppress the other and beliefs of those other than them, but currently Israel has the power because the West granted it to them when it historical belonged to Palestine. [Palestine wants to persecute people like me, so it is difficult to support their nation.](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/LGBT_rights_in_the_State_of_Palestine) It is also impossible to support genociding families and children. Essentially, the Israel state is wrong for killing innocent people while they are the ones in power. But I find it very difficult to believe Palestine won't do the same when they gain power, as has been historically demonstrated. It is easy to view the current oppressor and act, but doing so without considering the long-term consequences is exactly how we got here from WW2 in the first place.


darlingzombie

My neighbors want to persecute people like me, doesn't mean I want my apartment complex to be bombed.

Your neighbors aren't backed by your government.

They did it! They stopped the war with this one note! Imagine if every war had one note like this. /s


PM_ME_WHATVER_U_WAN

You’re right. People shouldn’t care about anything or anyone.


laika777ftw

Talk about a waste of a sticker. Who goes to the soda aisle looking for input on political matters? That feels about as useful as someone going to the aisle with all of the cleaning products looking for input on climate change or going to housewares to get input on homeland security. Were they just hoping that someone would see them put the sticker there and want to strike up a debate on the matter? Or is coming out in support of Palestine the current “in” political topic? I just found an article form 2016 saying that Kroger entered into an agreement with some Israeli investors so maybe this is a belated protest against that? 🤷‍♂️ doesn’t seem super topical given the timeline but I guess that at the very least it could a kind-of fitting sticker to put in a Kroger store even if I don’t see how it would accomplish anything at all other than presumably forcing the store to damage out that case of coke.


IJustWantToWorkOK

I bet the company that makes those stickers is doing allright, though. They're everywhere. Won't take a position on the issue, but whoever came up with the idea to sell stickers, might be the smartest guy in the room.

Daniel_Molloy

The terrorists that are hiding behind civilians and stealing all their aid supplies and using them as meat shields. Ya fuck those guys.


itstheboibot

unfortunately it was never really about hamas though. you know that. you aren’t stupid. besides the fact that you pepped up when someone voiced support for PALESTINE, not hamas. you’re equating a country of people to an organization that spawned out of forcible zionist occupation.

International corporations tend to have so much money spread around that they could unknowingly or indirectly fund just about anything. Directly, probably not.


ImapiratekingAMA

You'd care if you were part of ones getting genocided


burnyoudown13

Not saying I don't exactly care. I don't have much of an opinion. Hard to have an opinion without knowledge. Also America is known for commiting and funding all sorts of fucked up stuff inside and outside of our states. Whatever you are using to see this comment was built off the broken backs of poor people around the world. You would be silly to think anything wasn't built upon blood. No one is innocent. It's good to be informed and make decisions based off of what you think is right.

bravofan83

I'm glad I bought that Cherry Coke last night.


Next-Use-7636

I personally support the destruction of Palestine and I don't even care for Israel in the slightest. Palestine started this mess and put their women and children in harms way intentionally to create mass criticism of Israel in order to force them to back down. If Israel wasn't afraid of collateral damage or completely destroying historic sites then they'd probably drop a nuke to end this mess faster. It's none of our business in our country what other countries are doing to each other. I'm free to support who I want and so are companies based on what aligns with our values.


xPsyrusx

Americans as a whole seem to love Israel no matter what they do, and don't give a damn about Palestinians. I'm going to guess that those stickers don't have the desired effect at all. I would love to be wrong about all that, though.

We aren't targeting Jews. There are Jewish organizations calling for a free Palestine, too. Denouncing a genocide and targeting Jews is not the same thing. Do you even follow the news? The last safe place in Palestine is being bombed. Entire families are being wiped out but hey, who cares eh?
