I was in a grocery market today, with two incompetent Anglos behind the meat counter. I observed that what the place needed were some more of those competent hard working Mexicans, like in some other markets in the neighborhood. The three ladies languishing with me in line agreed with me. The thing in some sectors, is that one gets so much more bang from the buck with some of these Hispanics. The odd thing is that this market chain, Stater Bros, did not and could not, endure the market strike (because it is based only in only parts of Southern California), and just signed on the dotted line with the union, so it has the highest wage scale in the industry. All very odd.

You know Torrie, the truth hurts. Unions have devistated certain sectors. When your job is guaranteed, there's no impetus to put out the caliber of work that others would, to keep the job.

If the guy is that bad, I'd buy my meat somewhere else. When leaving for the last time, I'd tell the market owner how much I spent there over the years, as accurate as possible. Then I'd inform them this was the last time they'd see me.

I should also say, my wife frequented a local market where the meat person seemed well qualified and was very helpful. It's was a Hows market in Glendale. Those markets are owned by Hughs. I'm not sure if he was union or not.

This particular market closed. It opened up on the premises of a very successful store that moved. It wasn't able to draw the clientele to sustain it's business, more than likely through no fault of it's own. They other market didn't move far away, and had a very loyal community base.
