Stater Brothers is union.

I stopped shopping at the big three a few years ago when they went with the club card (Albertson's still hasn't introduced it in SoCal, but have it in Northern California). Club cards suck, and Stater's doesn't do them. Neither does Wal-Mart.

I do have to say, though, that the Super KMarts were a complete failure when they were tried in California. I can't see how Wal-Mart would be any different. Let the Super Wal-Marts in and let the market decide.

Your right.

Stater Brothers, which is not affected by the strike because its union members are under a different UFCW pact.

But isnt shopping there "crossing the picket line"?
