>>"All we hear from management is 'Do more,' " said Kay Underwood, 49, a 29-year Kroger employee. "We did an employee survey, and the number of us on Paxil, Prozac, blood pressure medicines, you name it, has gone sky high. We're killing ourselves for this company."<<
Is she kidding. When I worked union grocery they used to prevent me from working. I was a bagger while in high school and worked nights. After 9pm or so the store would practically die- I'd do all my front end jobs and be bored stiff out of my mind for another hour or two. There were jobs to done still but baggers couldn't do them according to union rules because the bagger would be taking work away from a checker who made a higher hourly salary.
They deserve the bed they have made. Wal-Mart pays bagger salaries and miracle of miracles there are actually people willing to do those jobs at that wage- just as I would have.
Now their jobs are too stressful. Boo-fricken-hoo. Poor baby. Maybe if you would have accepted some help form lower wage workers instead greedily keeping them to yourselves you wouldn't be in this boat.

I don't hate Walmart as much as some of you do but there is another superstore that I cannot stand.
It is known as Best Buy.
