Seattle Area Grocery Strike Averted

The Union representing grocery workers in the Seattle area have reached a tenative agreement 2 hours shy of a scheduled walkout.


Anyhow I went into the Safeway I regularly shop at 4 hours before the walkout was set and behind me was a women with a heaping grocery cart of food and supply's. She said she was stocking up in case the walk out happens. YEP good ole me just had to engage. I asked her if she supported the grocery workers or management, oh THE WORKERS she said. I said do you realize your full shopping cart reveals the opposite?, you support management. HOW she said. I said that the workers are striking and are hoping you shop elsewhere by you stocking up you just gave that money to SAFEWAY in a pay it forward fashion.

If you really supported the workers you would have shopped elsewhere today and familiarized yourself with the alternative store.

She had those stupid coke bottle glazed eyes and then asked should I put the stuff back... I said do you really have to ask.
