      BTW, isn't hiring strike-breakers illegal?
      Strike breakers, yes, scabs, no. There's a difference.

      BTW, the UFCW originally announced they would only strike one chain, and continue to work at the other two (this was to be done on some sort of rotating basis depending on how long the strike lasted). Two of the three aren't strikes, they're lockouts.

      And $15 an hour on a 30 hour week ain't **** in Southern California.

        Baggers don't get paid near the same as checkers in California - nor do warehouse workers.

          Those dumb asses should have known better then to come between me and my vodka.


          Any union that doesn't realize the importance of vodka ain't worth backing!

            I don't know, so I'm asking.
            I want answers, damn it.

                So I missed MTG's answer because he began that post with an answer to Odin.


                Oh, and stop getting me all excited with that tongue of yours.

                      Yes. My eyes also hurt from my failed attempt to gouge them out of my skull.

                          Its no joke. My ex-wife works for a grocery chain, and every contract that comes up they try to take more away.

                            And why not? "Grocery store employee" is practically an endangered species.

                            Who's the company that has been running the ad for the last year where the guy wanders through the empty supermarket, apparently shoplifting, but when he "sneaks out", a receipt prints out by the door and it's all been charged to his credit card or debit card or possibly the chip implanted in his hand by the Illuminati?

                            That's the future!

                                Many of the stores even do self check out now where you scan the items and then put them in a beg which is on a scale.
