Try the Albertson's at SeaCliff Village. I think the stikers have already given up - they're very complacent now handing out their little leaflets. Between the kids coming over from HB high school and the upper income make-up of the area, people aren't taking any guff.

Did note that all the women had their husbands/boyfriends with them. My wife is enjoying having me run all the errands this week.

Thanks. That's not too far from my house (My kid HBHS '95). I am going with my wife to play bodyguard and make sure nobody messes with the car.

Women should not be afraid to cross picket lines. Not crossing is a courtesy only - to show support for higher wages for thse un skilled workers.

There are laws in this country that are supposed to prevent physical violence - if a picketer hurt a shopper - Hoo Boy! law-suit city for the union worker. . . .

They're not strikers. They are locked out. The unions originally planned only to picket one store at a time starting with overpriced Vons. (I don't shop at any store that requires me to carry an ID card in order to take advantage of sales so they can track my purchases and build a database of what I buy) So management decided to lockout all employees out of all stores. No prob. I'll just goto Stater Bros and Food 4 Less (owned by Ralphs and covered under a different contract)
