Shut up and bag.

I am trying to go every day to Albertson's in Buellton to cross the picket line. Most union workers are Clinton Lovers. These people are the "soccer mom" vote who have taken bread off my family's table.

My husband lost his job in Santa Barbara when the greenies drove Mobil Oil out. Now my husband has to commute 2 hours a day to Ventura. I don't member any of these greedy, unskilled cry-babies coming to his rescue.

I can scan my own groceries.

Yep. All of the supermarkets are going to self-scan (coming to a supermarket near you very very soon) which basically only needs one person to monitor 4-6 lanes. Many people prefer to bag themselves, too. I was surprised when I lived in NJ to see unionized grocery workers. It's an entry-level, zero-risk, zero-skill job. It's McDonald's.

I think this strike is a very unwise move, especially with jobs being scarce. If I were a company, I would consider this to be an ideal time to bust the union out.
