AITAH for telling my daughter to find another place to live because she’s pregnant again?
My (49F) daughter Josie (19) had her first baby when she was 15. My husband and I were devastated at first because we knew this was going to be a very difficult path for our daughter. We did all we could to give her sex education but it wasn’t enough and we couldn’t turn back time so all we could do was support her in what she wanted to do. My husband and I helped Josie take care of our grandson and encouraged her to finish high school. She never did because she said her priority was being a mother and she didn’t have time to invest into finishing high school. We told her she would either go to school or get a job but we weren’t going to give her the option of doing neither for more than a year after she gave birth, so she got a part time job at a hair salon. The father of my grandson (who was her age) would give her about $100 a month for baby related stuff and would come over every couple of months to see his son, but that was all he did although he lived in the same city as his son. A few days ago, Josie broke the news to us that she’s pregnant again. The father is the same boy who got her pregnant the first time. My husband and I were pissed. How can she get pregnant by that boy for the second time when he was very obviously not consistent or helpful with their first baby? And with Josie living with us rent free, and us having to take care of my grandson for her so she can work, go out, etc, this does not seem fair at all that she can add another baby into this mess. After a few days of thinking about it and discussing it with my husband, we decided to tell Josie to move in with the father of her children and raise the children together. She said they’re not in a relationship so they can’t live together, and they wouldn’t be able to afford it anyway. I told her she needs to figure something out because we (my husband and I) are not willing to raise another baby for her. She said “you’re never satisfied with anything I do. You told me to get a job so I did, and now you’re complaining that you had to raise the baby. You wouldn’t have had to if I didn’t have to work. I can’t do both things at once. And I definitely can’t raise two kids on my own and work. What 19 year old can do that?” I replied “We tried to teach you how to be responsible after your first baby and we did all we could to be there for you. You clearly haven’t learnt a thing and it’s not our job to keep picking up after you. So before your baby arrives, discuss living arrangements with the father and figure something out.” She has been crying and not talking to us since. She’s called both sets of her grandparents to speak to my husband and I and change our minds so we can help her raise her babies. My husbands parents think we’re being very harsh and punishing her for something that’s already happened, which isn’t helpful. They offered to take Josie and our grandson in but Josie doesn’t want to take her kids so far away from their dad. My in laws are saying we’ll regret abandoning our daughter and that we should be showing her a better example of unconditional love. I just don’t know what more we could do without sacrificing our own lives. Aitah? submitted by /u/ExactMeet6470 to r/AITAH [link] [comments]

*Essential retailer closing dozens more stores in bankruptcy*
Challenges for brick-and-mortar retailers, such as underperforming stores and chronic retail theft, has led retail operators to close stores to ease financial distress. In 2023 and early 2024, several retailers revealed plans to close underperforming stores in their portfolios or those stores with leases that don't make economic sense.Related: Beloved designer brand retailer files for Chapter 11 bankruptcy Athletic shoe retailer Foot Locker (FL) - Get Free Report in March 2023 said that it would close 400 of its stores in North America, including 275 Foot Locker and 125 Champs Sports stores, by 2026. The retailer will likely close stores with expiring leases, stores in less-successful malls and underperforming units.Several retailers closed stores Retailers have also begun to close stores because of theft and organized retail crime. Walgreens in 2021 and early 2022 closed seven stores in San Francisco because of crime. In October 2023, Target (TGT) - Get Free Report closed nine stores in four states because of theft and organized retail crime. Walmart (WMT) - Get Free Report in 2023 closed 24 stores in 14 states and Washington, D.C., blaming underperformance and theft as central reasons for the closures. The retail giant also revealed that it will close a Walmart and a Walmart Neighborhood Market in the San Diego area on Feb. 9 after failed lease negotiations. CVS (CVS) - Get Free Report in late 2021 said it would close as many as 900 stores by the end of 2024 -- about 300 stores a year. The closures are part of its initiative to evaluate changes in population, consumer buying patterns and future health needs to determine if it has the right kinds of stores in the right locations for consumers and for the business. A Rite Aid store on a city block. Image source: Shutterstock Rite Aid closing more stores in bankruptcy Rite Aid had a much larger store closure story to tell after it filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy on Oct. 15 as the pharmacy chain had faced tough competition from CVS CVS, Walgreens Boots Alliance WBA, Walmart and Costco COST for prescription business. It was also seeing more competition from a new venture, Mark Cuban's CostPlus Drug Company, which offers discount prescriptions under the name CostPlus Drugs Rite Aid's problems grew significantly after the Department of Justice filed a civil lawsuit against the company in March 2023 alleging that its pharmacists inappropriately filled opioid prescriptions, contributing to the opioid epidemic after “repeatedly filled prescriptions for controlled substances with obvious red flags." The lawsuit also alleged the company's workers "intentionally deleted internal notes about suspicious prescribers.” The company filed for bankruptcy protection to seek an automatic stay of any further legal action in the lawsuit. (The shares now trade under the ticker RADCQ.) The company planned to negotiate a less expensive settlement that could be over $1 billion without the bankruptcy filing. As part of its reorganization, Rite Aid filed a motion on Oct. 17 to reject store leases with plans to initially close 154 of its 2,100 stores. The company expanded that number to 209 on Nov. 2 as it filed a motion to reject another 24 store leases. In early December, it rejected 31 more leases. Rite Aid wasn't finished there. It entered 2024 with plans to close another 45 stores after filing motions and obtaining orders from Dec. 26 to Jan. 16 to reject store leases for a total of 254 closures.

*Sam's Club change fixes a Costco customer pain point*
Walmart's Sam's Club uses the same business model as Costco. Both retailers charge a membership fee in exchange for access to its no-frills warehouses which offer low-cost household goods, groceries, clothes, and various other items. In both cases, the companies are offering very low prices in exchange for limited selection. You won't see ketchup sold in seven different sizes at either chain. In fact, you may have to buy two large bottles because that was the lowest per-ounce price the retailers could negotiate. Related: Dollar General and Walmart try new ways to fight retail theft Value has always been key for both Sam's Club and Costco (COST) - Get Free Report. Both chains have worked to protect their value proposition and that means making sure customers don't steal. That's not an easy task for companies trying to build a relationship with members. One aspect of keeping theft down, checking receipts when people leave, has struck many members of both chains as invasive and showing a lack of trust. In many ways, it would be like Olive Garden using its old "when you're here, your family" tagline and then frisking customers as they leave because they don't trust their family to not steal silverware. Sure, you're a member at Costco or Sam's Club, but just because we let you into the club doesn't mean we aren't watching every move you make. Most members don't like having to stop, show their receipt, and then let someone look through their cart. It's both insulting and inconvenient, and Sam's Club now has a way to make it a thing of the past without compromising on protecting itself from theft. Costco checks customers receipts against their carts as people leave their stores. Image source: Shutterstock Yes, Sam's Club and Costco can check your receipt Costco has been very upfront about its policy when it comes to checking receipts. "It is standard practice at all our warehouse locations to verify purchase receipts when customers exit our buildings. We do this to double-check that the items purchased have been correctly processed by our cashiers. It’s our most effective method of maintaining accuracy in inventory control, and it’s also a good way to ensure that our members have been charged properly for their purchases," the company shared on its website. Sam's Club has similar language on its website. "To ensure that you are charged correctly for the merchandise you have selected, Sam's Club may inspect or electronically scan your merchandise and electronic/phone or paper copy receipt(s) when you exit any Sam's Club location," the retailer shares in its terms and conditions of membership. When you sign up for a membership at either chain you explicitly agree to allow these checks. Few people read that fine print, but that does not make it any less binding. Sam's Club has new checkout technology The receipt check causes two issues for Costco and Sam's Club members. First, it's an invasive sign that neither chain trusts its customers. Second, it can cause a delay in leaving the store as the people checking receipt can get backed up. Sam's Club has a technology solution that should eliminate those backups which it showed off in Las Vegas at the CES show. "The new tech announced at CES will deliver new levels of convenience by leveraging a first-of-its-kind application of artificial intelligence (AI) and computer vision technology to eliminate queuing at the club’s exit area," the company shared in a press release. Sam's Club has also tested the new technology at 10 of its warehouse locations.

Most members don't like having to stop, show their receipt, and then let someone look through their cart. It's both insulting and inconvenient, and Sam's Club now has a way to make it a thing of the past without compromising on protecting itself from theft. Costco checks customers receipts against their carts as people leave their stores. Image source: Shutterstock Yes, Sam's Club and Costco can check your receipt Costco has been very upfront about its policy when it comes to checking receipts. "It is standard practice at all our warehouse locations to verify purchase receipts when customers exit our buildings. We do this to double-check that the items purchased have been correctly processed by our cashiers. It’s our most effective method of maintaining accuracy in inventory control, and it’s also a good way to ensure that our members have been charged properly for their purchases," the company shared on its website. Sam's Club has similar language on its website. "To ensure that you are charged correctly for the merchandise you have selected, Sam's Club may inspect or electronically scan your merchandise and electronic/phone or paper copy receipt(s) when you exit any Sam's Club location," the retailer shares in its terms and conditions of membership. When you sign up for a membership at either chain you explicitly agree to allow these checks. Few people read that fine print, but that does not make it any less binding. Sam's Club has new checkout technology The receipt check causes two issues for Costco and Sam's Club members. First, it's an invasive sign that neither chain trusts its customers. Second, it can cause a delay in leaving the store as the people checking receipt can get backed up. Sam's Club has a technology solution that should eliminate those backups which it showed off in Las Vegas at the CES show. "The new tech announced at CES will deliver new levels of convenience by leveraging a first-of-its-kind application of artificial intelligence (AI) and computer vision technology to eliminate queuing at the club’s exit area," the company shared in a press release. Sam's Club has also tested the new technology at 10 of its warehouse locations.

Sam's Club change fixes a Costco customer pain point
Walmart's Sam's Club uses the same business model as Costco. Both retailers charge a membership fee in exchange for access to its no-frills warehouses which offer low-cost household goods, groceries, clothes, and various other items. In both cases, the companies are offering very low prices in exchange for limited selection. You won't see ketchup sold in seven different sizes at either chain. In fact, you may have to buy two large bottles because that was the lowest per-ounce price the retailers could negotiate. Related: Dollar General and Walmart try new ways to fight retail theft Value has always been key for both Sam's Club and Costco (COST) - Get Free Report. Both chains have worked to protect their value proposition and that means making sure customers don't steal. That's not an easy task for companies trying to build a relationship with members. One aspect of keeping theft down, checking receipts when people leave, has struck many members of both chains as invasive and showing a lack of trust.
