All happy families are alike; each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.

I’m going to make a guess that they aren’t a union store.

LOL...the opening line of one of my favorite novels.

There’s a big MB a mile fom my house, and many of my neighbors work there. I hope this doesn’t affect their jobs.

I had no idea Market Basket still existed. They were the only store in my “one horse town” when I was growing up in the ‘40’s - then it became IGA, I think...No grocery store in that town today!

Market Basket is the best store in the world. Around for over 60 years. Awesome food at great prices. Arthur T is my hero. Got to meet him when he was in a store being updated adding “Market Kitchen” with on-premises homemade pizzas, subs, sandwiches, suchi, and an awesome bakery! Mark down produce, homemade goods, meats, etc. when get to sell-by date, very helpful for those on a tight budget. They offer deli meat & cheese ends at low prices, good for so many uses. Reduce hot food just before closing so each day’s hot food/rotisserie chickens freshly made each day. Many high-quality MB products as good as brand names but much lower prices. Even with inflation, you leave MB with more groceries than any other store.

Always someone in the aisle to help you while stocking shelves all day. Many young people working there, dressed professionally, name tags touting how long they worked there, and receiving good benefits. Also people working there 35+ years. I wish everyone had such a wonderful store to shop at. Customers are a large part of Market Basket appeal. We mean something and are treated like (good) family and friends when we shop there. No place like MB in the world.

My large orange spokescat, Darrow has announced that as long as his servant (me) keeps the treats coming, he could care less.
