You can tell when you’re in a unionized supermarket—if there are 12 checkstands, lines will be forming at the two that are open. At a non-union supermarket near my home, all of the checkstands are usually manned.

That describes the local WalMart, on any given weekday, during work-day hours, i.e., 12 checkstands and 4 manned.
if you’re from new England, you know that the two big supermarkets, market basket and stop and shop, are worlds apart when it comes to price. and there is one simple reason, unions. stop and shop is unionized and you have fifty year old cashiers with the same attitude you can get at the registry of motor vehicles. when you go to market basket, you get high school kids who are polite.
there are some items at stop and shop that are fifty per cent higher than the same item at market basket.
...adding, "except for Walmart". That alone is the main reason I hate going there.
I am loyal Market Basket customer. All registers usually open. Great prices and great customer service too. I truly hope they get their CEO back very SOON!!!! shopped elsewhere this week. Paid more. I’m sure once CEO is back and things return to normal all the regular loyal customers will return.
