First I walked past the Stop and Shop...
Stop N shop merged with A & P. Now it's called Stop N Pee.
I hope the stores are still open - I love to cross picket lines.
It sounds like a lot of job openings soon.
So go to Safeway.
Stop and Shop is the highest priced grocery store around here, so their claims about competitive disadvantage are legit.
We have many excellent alternatives in the area.
Other than that, for groceries we have many choices here of other supermarkets and small family-owned markets in which to shop: Big Y, Shop-Rite, Whole Foods, Fitzgerald's, Geissler's, Kane's, Food Bag, The Fresh Market, Highland Park Market, etc.
Here’s a worker with a pretty sorry explanation: yeah, they have better benefits and all that than what other supermarkets they compete with have, but they’re a big company so they ought to offer more still!
Not for Nothing, but my local Stop & Shop has the BEST donuts.
And we all know the world runs on donuts.
BTW, thank Dunkin Donuts, the place with fantastic coffee and horrible tasting donuts for that spelling.
Was “Doughnuts” before that.
There are people out there looking for work.
This might be a great place to hand a resume out to.
Unions suck.
Oh no what will we do without lottery tickets and cheap cigars and bags of chips? The world will surely end!
What if you don’t support the strike?
I’m glad I got my low fat chocolate frozen yogurt last night.
Aldis & Market Basket for me here in the northeast with a stop here & there at Trader Joe’s.
Had to pick up a few things on the way home tom work last night. Had one of the usually lackadaisical grumpy checkout witches from the mob blocking the door get in my face yelling at me that they were on strike.
I told her “Good luck with that” and went into the store to get what I needed for dinner. With all of the other stores in my area with better prices and better quality food, I don’t believe I’ll be shopping and Stop & Slop after the strike is over. Hope the angry witches enjoy their new jobs when S&S is gone.
Time to treat them like Ronald Reagan’s ATC strikers. There are still plenty of out-of-work people who would love to have those jobs.
Big deal. My Sunday pay is 1.25 and my Sunday night pay is 1.10, same as weeknights.* Suck it up, folks, since we're still in a depression.
My holiday pay for working on a holiday is 1.5, hee hee.
