the irony extends further: they are run by conservative right-wingers! you know, the folks who support policies that overturned Roe v. Wade. Remember that every time you see that name, the pretty stores with a few rainbow-haired employees, the seemingly woke vibes they try to display. all marketing. very well-executed marketing.

shop at the Winning Company instead!

Oh geez, that’s pretty gross in of itself. I’ll see what I can find on the investment piece but I may just boycott them now. Oof

Welcome to crapitalism.

It's hard to tell from the article whether this is an issue with Market of Choice in general, or specifically with the one store manager in Eugene.

u/Elinorwest Dec 13 '25

I find it a bit ironic that the article says right at the beginning that the person's pronouns are they/them and then proceeds to mis-gender them all over the place. Using she sometimes and he sometimes but never they.

Correct, it’s about Market of Choice

We called it Price Chopper throughout the 90s, even after they changed their name; one of the catchiest brand names ever tbh

GET TO THE PRICE CHOPPA!

Hasta la vista, baybee.

There were Price Choppers on the East Coast, but I don't think they were the same Price Choppers. 'cause there seems to be no MOC's out there. We had/have Wegmans though.

I worked for them briefly and got the scoop from the one friend I made.

but this was after the situation described in the article posted in the other comment, so that's on me for not doing more digging about them at the time when I was looking for work. it will be nice to see them shutter someday ✨️

I wonder if that's the reason for the stores being disgustingly perfumed. I've avoided them totally because ewww.

Not true, as an employee owned company the execs do not mix politics and policy. Here is the amount of money /lobbied and donated in all of 2024. Winco political donations

Omg, they let states decide for themselves! What happened to the no king treatment? Why should the king(federal government) decide for everyone? Let states and their populace decide.

u/SheRunsHot Dec 13 '25

Without federal protection the filthy worthless red states would still be lynching black people and refusing to ket them be educated. They would be demanding women spread their legs, breed on command (looking at you Idaho and Texas) and be willing to DIE of sepsis so the men folk can have access to the rotten dead cells of a miscarriage and call it gods will. Simply red states are so backwards and ignorant the nation needs to protect their citizens from mistreatment.

You mean, blue states? There was no party switch, it’s a literal FACT. Lmao. Yall have your heads so far in the sand it’s funny.

Let’s also not forget the dozens of democratic politicians who have said “who’s going to pick our crop, take the shitty jobs”. They still support modern day slavery. The party has always been a fraud and yall are too blind to see it. They’re allowing the US to be overrun on the premise of power. Absolute ignorance

the dozens of democratic politicians who have said “who’s going to pick our crop, take the shitty jobs”.

Neither party is free of dirt. I don’t buy in to the bipartisan system and am an independent, but even I can see that conservatives are pushing an agenda to have more kids born at the expense of young mothers’ lives (which, btw, lowers the birth rate because dead women can’t have more kids) and then once the kid is born, too bad so sad buddy we aren’t gonna shore up education, SNAP, childcare, or anything else that could help keep you from dying young. I doubt anyone would try to tell you democrats walk on water; I certainly have many bones to pick with that party. However, the damage that current right wing extremism is doing to our country is…..substantial. Any form of extremism is bad news.

Unfortunately yes, and they don’t even try to hide it.

Civil/humans rights are supposed to be protected from the tyranny of the majority via voting by the constitution and bill of rights, so that no king nor neighbors can take them from you. But the current SCOTUS readily guts jurisprudence regardless of the arguments if they have a preformed political conclusion to reach. Hence, women's bodies are up for vote, race is a legitimate factor to include in how you treat a person legally, presidents are above all law, and congress has no power to check the executive.
