Strike Continues
The strike against the 3 supermarket chains is continuing, and now the Teamsters are giving it more support. I heard an interview with a Teamster official yesterday. He sounded eager to actually put the supermarkets out of business. I'm wondering how he thinks that will benefit the unions? First, all workers laid off, and then the replacement supermarkets that will eventually move in will surely NOT be union.
Yesterday I checked out Costco, which is about twice as big as the Waltham Costco where I usually shopped. Silly me, I had forgotten about the strike AND Thanksgiving. The parking lot was about 99% full with people parallel parking in the driveways of the shopping mall area. ALL shopping carts were in use and the line of people waiting to get their receipts checked as they left the store was interminable. I decided it was best not to do any buying, but just wandered the store a bit. I needed a GPS device (which they sell).
Trader Joe's continues to do a land office business as well, with all check out lanes in use and no rest for the cashiers.
Anybody got any idea where I can find kefir in the valley?
