Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
Well, I guess since there weren't any customers to help, one of the 3 employees had plenty of time to unload the truck, log the inventory and move it to the floor.Originally Posted by ray1970
And once he stocked the shelves, they stayed that way since no one is buying anything.
I can only speak for people I know north king soopers here and few parker ones. Mid age people use those market for stepping stone to open their own butcher/dairy/deli/bakery.
My wife knows 2 who worked at safeway/king bakery and open their own. Probably a difficult achievement but can be very successful with good marketing.
That being said, there are always dummy in every level of job including KS.

BTW. One we go to is non-union KS store, and that place is even busier now.
Judge limits number of picketers at King Soopers stores

The store at Quincy and Buckley has had no one out front picketing. They stay on the sidewalks along the roads. I was wondering if the owner/manager of the property prohibits it. They also have a big dude standing in the doorway. Not sure what that's about.
Soopers by me has some wannabe, cargo pants tucked into black combat boots, muscle standing inside the front door too.
That's a step-up from the 300lb, 4'-11" chick 'guarding' the door last week.
Sounds to me like those folks worked their asses off to better their situation instead of striking/strongarming their way into a better situation.
These people are free to create and join unions in this county. They are also free to collectively bargain and strike. What are you people so mad about? Let them strike, It's their decision. it's not about you. Kroger profits are higher than ever (+$800m per quarter)(Gross was 30.9b for 2021). They can afford to pay their employees.
Let us not forget conservative presidential Jesus (Reagan) was a union leader longer than he was president. If you need a history lesson about labor and unions in the USA, just drive down I25 to Ludlow Colorado.
I don't know union workers have to be on a picket line or must go on a strike, but non-union stores seems to be still busy.
Let me put on my way - way back hat when Cub Foods use to be a thing in town. They were non-union shop; paid more than the union places and had better benefits....there was a strike - funny thing was the folks doing the picketing were non-union people who answered a job wanted add from the local union...the ad went something like....- do you like the outdoors, and are you a people friendly person? If so, carry this picket sign....
For the most part I rather go to KS and the like over Walmart - but for a while I have been going to Super Target for non-bulk items.

On the first point, totally agree. And I am free to shop where I want. Wife went to the KS near us. She said it was the best, most relaxing shopping trip she had taken in years. Parked near the front, got her items, self-check-out. Only saw one manager roaming about and one security guard.
Just my opinion, but Unions had a place in America at one point. Maybe in certain parts of the US and with those employers who have a monopoly on a town especially, unions might still be a benefit. But in large part, especially in a metro area like the Denver Metro, I just don't see any benefit to them overall. Times are a lot different today that when Reagan ran a Union.
