I almost hope there’s a strike. At unionized supermarkets, only a few of the checkstands are usually manned, so shoppers always have to stand in line, but during the 2004 walkout, all of the checstands at the strikebound stores were manned by strikebreakers, so there were virtually no lines, and customer service was actually better.
By the way, I usually shop at Stater Brothers and Trader Joe’s because they don’t have “club cards.”
I shop at Trader Joe’s for things I can’t find elsewhere, but it does get annoying being surrounded by so many people who know they’re so superior to me.
Albertson's reward to customers who resumed shopping there after the last "lock-out" was to force them to get a club card, and to make them check out and bag their own groceries using kiosks.
I would definitely shop at a non union store or one trying to rein in the ruinous unions. Ruinous? Yes, and that is why may of us do not buy UAW built cars.
Unions are an anachronism...should be shut down. There are already so many laws on the books protecting workers—worse than France.
