King Soopers Strike - Denver & Colorado Springs

[Ah Pook]

Safeway, on Kipling, was a shiat show tonight. Not sure if it is the strike, the snow or both.

I'll probably wake up early and go shopping before the weekend crowds, and I guess strikers, as I usually do on a Saturday morning.

If it's a mess, I'll go across the street to Safeway.

The one by me is not a union store but the meat dept. is. I told the striker at the door I wouldn't got to the meat dept. LOL Of course I did !!!

Reading some comments on 9news and elsewhere, I was shocked by the number of people saying they wouldn't shop at Soopers for no other reason than to support the strikers.

I have no loyalty to Soopers, but I'm going to make sure to shop there through this. How dumb that a bunch of unskilled, easily replaceable workers, doing a job well suited for teenagers, could cause such trouble.

My ranking is Sprouts, KS, then Safeway.


Today I’m making it a point to visit KS first.


I’ve crossed Steelworkers’ lines before to work, certainly not going to be influenced by shelf-stockers

Went to Soopers today. It was awesome. There were no customers so shelves were stocked full to the brim minus the deli/seafood stuff. There were only like 3 employees inside.

I love shopping without a crowd.

Those jobs are much difficult than you think. There are so many god damn Karen and male-bra Karen's these days. I consider fast food workers and grocery store workers as stepping stone for evp of customers relations.

[hollohas]

Yup, it is a stepping stone. For kids just entering the workforce. Most grocery jobs are entry level jobs requiring ZERO experience. They are jobs designed to give experience and the pay reflects that. Which is why they are jobs well suited for teenagers.

Nobody is going from grocery checker straight to evp of customer relations...there are MANY steps in-between and grocery worker is real close to the bottom. Pay isn't so good at the bottom. You gotta work your way up, not strike your way up.

Weird. I there was some sort of strike? How did those shelves get stocked?

I'm just imagining the faces of the people that I know from shopping there. I guess they will understand that I don't care, just like they don't care.

What this says for society in general, that it is the battle of the I don't care, versus, you don't care...
