What I don't get it how could you have this access, and only make $4M? Only RTFS but it doesn't seem to connect. Unless they were purposely holding back on the amounts to avoid getting caught.
... minimize wait on entry. This is likely never true...
You have the insight to see the exact problem and you are wrong. The big clod of people waiting to step on the escalator is exactly the place where the problem is solved.
This was done really poorly in London by the way. They painted footsteps on the treads, and they showed a lame hologram poster of a person gesturing silently to the escalator. WTF! And then they called it a failure because nobody stood on the left.
There is one and only one excellent way to enforce this. Staff in purple suits stand on the left, riding up and down the escalators in shifts. You only need one standee to block the entire escalator! So, three per escalator hall is plenty, plus one person with a can of pepper spray at the top/bottom to explain to angry people to take the stairs. The thing about this temp job is it doesn't take any skills. Perhaps you only need to be pretty, or big and muscular, and the uniforms can have an informative sign on the back.
Note, the solution would only bring us to the next problem, which is can these escalators actually carry two full people-columns worth of load? In the 2018 Black Hat conference in Las Vegas, we witnessed that most of the escalators were overtaxed and the friction drives slipped (fat Americans don't walk up the escalator).
And obviously, if I buy something that isn't any good, I don't repeat the purchase if I can help it. Grocery shopping on Amazon of course helps that a great deal. If the supplier changes, it will be a different product without my review/notes/purchase history etc.
Tomatoes... true, you can't get them in places like Albertson's, but you can get good ones at the local Mexican market. Those guys actually eat ripe fruit, avocados, etc. so in my experience they have what you are looking for.
Now I live in London and we have easy access to great tomatoes, generally grown in hot houses in Spain. Back on topic to the article, Amazon delivers them to me weekly (https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01MFD3H7P).
If that is your buying style, then a freezer and a coupon file would save you tons of money as well. See: https://www.amazon.com/dp/0307... America's Cheapest Family (Obviously not pointed at you directly, but someone who shops similarly and wants to save more money)
That is a crazy way to spend your money. Did you know that grocery stores bank on 60% of your cart revenue to come from things that you did not intend to buy?
Not sure if AC and I are in different markets... but I have quite good experience buying groceries online. I shop about 75% from Amazon and 20% from another online vendor who has a better supply chain of products, AND lower prices but at the cost of worse service. The remaining 5% is bought in physical stores.
I have never had groceries come in a box! Amazon groceries come in sturdy paper bags (which we use for recycling) and the competitor brings HDPE bags without drain holes (which we use for garbage).
Returns are drop dead easy. Perishable items, in 100% of cases they just write off the item and refund, without even asking for a photogram. Once, they sent me an entire bag of groceries from someone else's order. They said I could dispose of or eat everything. And they refunded whatever I claimed was missing.
Freshness and quality of customer support are the main reasons I switched to Amazon. The primary drawbacks are poor integration with Alexa, poor website search for groceries, and most of all, missing key items that I buy somewhat regularly. And for those, I keep the competitor on retainer for the niggling 20% of orders.
People marched out the door are paid their two weeks' notice period. This is a good policy for some roles, to remove the risk of data spillage and to avoid lowering morale in the remaining coworkers.
I worked for a company that ran out of money, and that they couldn't pay our upcoming paychecks. I left and didn't return, but apparently everyone else kept coming to work and eventually they formed a new company, leaving the original investors with nothing. The CEO kept phoning me but I only communicated with the bankruptcy administrator from that point on.

Oh interesting, there is something to this but it is not exactly insider trading.

Russian trolls, you are tempting me to filter AC posts entirely.
Troll, write in English. WTF?
Mildly interesting, but what does your point have to do with EDGAR or Lithuania?
It's not 5 million. 500 million.
Yeah, actually I think really being the spy is the best situation. Because, you have the opportunity to get traded for another spy.
Try again tomorrow.
Trump..... as in President Donald Trump, in this particular instance does not evoke any .....outrage.

Wow, you are correct that I am not very smart today. Or blind...
The word "London" doesn't even appear in the article text?

That is my best guess from a Google search. Could anybody read the article and see who the researchers are?
in what, 1950?

Think how much money AC just might have saved you, AC

Give an example? I don't give a toss about an organic label... I buy food that looks good and tastes good. I am willing to pay more for it.

We are talking about groceries. Why would you travel to a store to buy gardening tools?
They couldn't really be sterile, could they?
