A few years back, I crossed the picket line in SoCal because I needed groceries. I had my teen daughter with me and some young man asked me why I wasn't supporting them and how could I cross the picket line and support management. I told the guy, sorry, my daughter needs tampons and I have no choice. The look on the guy's face was priceless, but my daughter was not amused. Glad I no longer live in SoCal.

During the last strike, I made a point to cross the picket lines almost every day. The pickets usually didn't hassle shoppers, but once when the store in my area was targeted by demonstrators, a group of pickets shouted at me, "Shame! Shame! Shame!--so I waved my sales slip in their faces. They went ballistic, yelling and screaming, but they couldn't do anything violent, since the cops were there.
