@04fjr4me, don't start with the "poor" Safeway people. They were asked to pay an extra $5.00 per week. I personally will not shop at Safeway, not because of the stores or the counter personnel, but because of how I am treated at the warehouse when I make a delivery. Any group of employees who treat others as sub-human, just because they can, deserves what they get. I am only a foolish army-of-one, but I vote with my wallet. Now the NorCal UFCW is talking strike. I tell all my family and friends that the way the customers were treated in front of the stores is exactly how those same employees think of you. That is how we are treated at delivery, it seems to be the way of that union.
