Had to pick up a few things on the way home tom work last night. Had one of the usually lackadaisical grumpy checkout witches from the mob blocking the door get in my face yelling at me that they were on strike.
I told her “Good luck with that” and went into the store to get what I needed for dinner. With all of the other stores in my area with better prices and better quality food, I don’t believe I’ll be shopping and Stop & Slop after the strike is over. Hope the angry witches enjoy their new jobs when S&S is gone.
Several of the stores in my area were closed yesterday, but the ones that were open seem to have a decent number of people crossing the picket line. It was hard to tell how many to drop by for support into the shop or just left but in my 5 to 10 minutes watching at least a half a dozen maybe even more people had entered and left the store with groceries.
I’ve also seen a few videos he members post that line of them harassing customers crossing the picket lines, calling them scabs, screaming in their faces, etc. Then once they get to their car they we’re asking them selves how dare they do that? I can guarantee that many of these customers will not come back after the strike is settled, especially the ones That have been yelled and screamed at by the strikers.
I am willing to bet there are discussions at Stop & Shop right now about lists of underperforming stores that may be on the chopping block in the very near future, something I doubt the strikers ever thought about before they see the little temper tantrum.
