And the cost of health care in a low wage part time economy will skyrocket for Seniors and regular employees to way over 2 trillion, along with pizza and everything else,

We have plenty of them in Virginia, too. They’re the most overpriced grocery store I know if (thanks, union). Items routinely cost twice the price other stores charge.

With many companies rescheduling their workers time to max out at 28 hours/week...Remember those advertisements around Labor Day.....
"Unions brought you the 40 hour work week"......
Well, Øbama brings you the 56 hour work week....

Essentially they price goods according to your ability to pay, based on the economic make-up of the area. We pay through the nose where I live.

Fly in the ointment here is that they will need to nearly double the number of part-time employees on the payroll in order to cover all their shifts. And as it is, you can barely find enough people at those wages with some semblance of a work ethic to fill those shifts now. They will work something out with some other place nearby, wherein each will share their employees with the other. An employee will work 20 hours/week at Kroger, and 20 hours at the other place. That way no employee will work too many hours at any single employer.

Sorry I did mean Wegman’s. Biggest rip off? You can get some really good food for relatively cheap prices. I would say that you could get 500 dollars for a family of six (which I have) a month easy.

I have been to that one a long time ago and it was a good store. I’m referring to the one in North Carrollton, Hebron and Old Denton.
To: Faith
Hmmm, I didn’t know that. Interesting.

I am curious how this will play out. If they slash hours, and then realize an increased profit in quarterly reports, the the employees will take it out on the company.
A CEO I worked for a while ago understood. He stated “If I screw you over, you will find a way to screw me over 10 times”.

Layoff numbers
Can someone please build a website that will contain the running numbers so I can post to my liberal idiots family members?

Its Wegmans. Started in Rochester, NY. Mostly in the NE and mid-Atlantic states, but spreading. Lots of pre-made and specialty foods. Caters to people who have lots of money and dont like to cook.People who don't like to cook? Pffft! People who do like to cook go there; you can find far more different kinds of ingredients and foods to use than Kroger.

Home depot has the self checkouts. I believe Lowes is considering it, at least the one in Marquette, MI. I was in Flint Michigan and i had no choice but had to utilize the self checkout at Meijers. i got so disgusted with the damn thing, half the items would not ring up. just said forget it and walked out of the store.

Hah! The only thing they will “quickly realize” is that it’s all their parents’ fault, and speaking of whom - they’re starting to get a little old, you know?

Indeed. No accidents here, given the stated long term goal. Obamacare is, and is meant to be, only a transitional temporary fix, setting up the ultimate single-payer government-controlled national health system.

“Im predicting about 15% unemployment in one year.”
By no later than June 2013.
Once the corporate lawyers and tax accountants reassess the state of things and just where exactly they stand, it will open the floodgates of Hell.
