Just returned from the grocery store and Kraft had some great sales on cheese I was interested in. Thank God the store had their own brand which was the same price. I love Kraft but not anymore.

“I just contacted Walgreen’s”...
and they no longer are a provider for Tri-Care insurance. That combined with Rush Limbaugh boycott should have some serious affect to their bottom line in this community with many active and retired military personnel.

What are you saying, the driver’s an idiot with no line of responsibility to the company he works for?

I said that? His responsibility to his company is to do the job he was hired to do.

Because he's on the front line and when he goes back to his warehouse he can give actual feedback.

Do you really think that would happen? The only feedback he'd give at the warehouse would be to tell his buddies that some nut accosted him in a store.

I see nothing wrong with telling anyone that I do not support the company that they work for.

Why? Does it make you feel good to complain to someone who can't do a damn thing about your concern? Complain to the people in charge, i.e., those who make policy. Don't accost a worker who's doing his job just so you can get a load off your chest.

Don’t forget to avoid Nancy Pelosi’s “Delmonti-Starkist” stuff.

That’s nice, but the delivery man won’t have the slightest clue about your point.

I don’t understand why you feel it’s necessary to shield the driver from criticism of the company he works for?

What these companies are saying with these actions is that they are FOR voter fraud, stolen elections etc.

If you bought shares in McDonald’s and those shares suddenly tanked, would you drive to your local McD’s restaurant and complain about it to the 16 year old girl behind the counter?

So, you’re equating the commercial truck driver to a kid working the cashier?

I know, don’t upset the laborers by raising their conscience.

Around my house we call it Soynaise. Do you think that is really tuna you are eating? I am hypothyroid and have been amazed by the amount of soy in so much of our food.

You’re equating the truck driver to a board of directors that sets company policy?
