Our local Safeway died twenty years ago, maybe more.
Back then, they were union. Check-out girls made about twelve bucks an hour, compared to five dollars or so everywhere else. The stores were clean, but the other chain stores could clean their clock on price.
This was the days before the Wal-Mart super centers.{Locally} I'm curious, is Safeway still union?

The ones in Washington State are still Union. As for myself, I shop Trader Joe's (non-union) for most of my dry goods, frozen goods, and dairy, buy my fish at an independent fish market and my produce at the greenmarket. Better quality than Safeway and QFC (Kroger) and cheaper too.

Safeway also pulled out of my state about 15-20 years ago. I wonder how many states they can pull out of before they run out of states?
