Shows the type of people at those grocery stores – beep beep. You think the general public actually LIKES you and cares that you’re complaining about something others don’t have? Health insurance? Oh you can’t give up the cable? Or payments on the big screen?

How dare you make fun of people out of work? How dare you.

Beep beep, yeah, what $20+ an hour to scan beep beep and you call that work?

At least back the day, grocery workers were actually nice people. Now its embittered half english speaking idiots that dont even stop for you to help you in an aisle. Please. Get the effers out of here with your over paid, hoarding beep beep jobs.

We don’t care about you.

It is astonishing how MEAN and CRUEL people are to each other. I don’t understand how anyone can belittle the hardworking people who stock the grocery stores, run the meat, produce and deli departments, and/or act as cashiers and baggers. All of us need to eat and that means we all buy groceries, and NONE of the store personnel are getting rich. It is a mystery why people make such derogatory comments about the workers – can it be that some people don’t know American history and don’t know that the labor movement (i,e, the unions and its members) helped make this country a powerhouse.

Two years of unemployment and I have been looking with no luck at all.

So who is lucky to have a job here?

The one that has one, dip (the ungratful grocery employees)!

I would of hply taken a job from a striking grocery store employee. The simple fact that people are out of work in the millions, shows the grocery employees fell entitled to what?

The y might want to think twice nextime they choose to strike. It will be a long time out of work, union or not!

@Blink…My apologies for your long unemployment. I was out of a job many years ago, in a GOOD economy. The company wasn’t very well managed. Since their decisions LOST money, it cost me (and 18,000 others) my job. It was non-union. Honestly, in your shoes, I’d take a striking workers job, too! Its not that we feel ENTITLED, the markets are constantly trying to take away benefits at the same time they are trying to raise the cost of what’s left…paying more for less. Most grocery store workers are PART TIME…like me. The market’s proposal would cost me HALF of my gross salary…HALF!!!!!!!!!!!! And I have not deducted fed tax…state tax…soc security…disability…401k plan…!!!!!! All we wanted was to maintain current levels…no more, no less. I could not survive on the $4.00 NET PAY…nobody could. A $4.00/hour job would be a waste of your time, and could possibly keep you from finding a better paying job. Good luck with your job hunt!

Eff you c. I think I know what you are. Typical, one minute they make fun of and step all over the unemployed the next they apologize…and then do it again.

Are you one of those brutes working the Ralphs on 3rd & Vermont? The only cool employee there is the Pakistani/Indian guy, top notch person. But all others hoarders, not one white or black employee, you tell me whats going on homie.

And when its stocking time – ayy ahahahh! Not one Asian, not one African American, not one Caucasian Not even one Central AMerican?

Who am I supporting? Strange stuff going on.

C,

What was the market’s proposal? Based on saying after taxes and everything, you were left with $4 an hour. This would lead me to believe you are a courtesy clerk (aka bagger) and not a Gm or food clerk.

I see many good, decent hardworking people who cannot get jobs. People over the age of 55 especially have trouble finding jobs. I know of many people who were formerly in construction or real estate related jobs (such as appraisers) who are past the age of 50 but are far from retirement age and can find no one willing to hire them despite their willingness to take any available job. My heart goes out to the people who are 50 years of age or older who have done everything right their entire lives and who – through no fault of their own – are now reduced to counting on foodbanks as their primary source of nutrition.

Suzanne you’re speaking to the actual employees of those grocery chains. This is the kind of people they are. HS educated, thats it, worked “hard” and they think they’re above everyone else. You’re trying to talk rationally and sensibly with brutes.

Most of them, not all but most look down on people who don’t work, because their idiots. I can’t put it any more simpler than that. Thats the one thats irritating to me, how can these people start using those old childish words like “scabs” which are old world ways of intimidating and insulting others that see an opportunity to work…

I dont like it.

Oh mj,
You are going to be one of those who crys in there pillow. Why me!!!! Why me!!!

When you are out of work after the unions are busted. I look forward to you responding your hate and anger to my post ars wipe!!!

The unions are a thing of the past dip wad!!

You are not too bright, not yet stupid. The union has killed our economy and forced all the great Amercian companies moving their operations to China. Wake up all the union members, your union bosses are only interested in their own power. All of you are being used and sacrificed as disposable diapers. Comparing your pay and the union bosses pay, then you will understand. You are feeding those pigs to get fat. Leave the union and be yourself and work for yourself.

Suzanne, I hope you have studied history. In the early 20th century, our union organizers went to Soviet Union to learn how to organize our workers. Union like the one you belong to is actually a step child from its Russian communist workers union daddy. Our country was built on individual’s idea and innovation. Your union supresses your individual rights to achieve. I think you are completely brain washed by your union bosses who have learnt the brain wasing technique from their Russia (Soviet Union) boss. You are just a walking dead. I was once brain washed by them too but I woke up and got out of it.

You dont seem to have much of a brain, what little you have you use to bash the people that have to struggle to survive. I am a union electrician and I work hard for my money not like pricks like you that extort and cheat anybody you can. Why dont you crawl back into your highrise corner office and shut up and leave us honest workers alone.

DAN,
Right,the construction industry, full of dumbaS$ union rules and members. Here’s one: drywallers belong to the carpenter’s union, tapers to the painter’s. Tapers can’t carry a hammer so if there is just one nail that wasn’t driven all the way down or popped everything stops until a drywaller can be found to hammer it down. I’m so sure that you or your union brothers never ratted anyone out.
