I don't understand how the security works on those u-scan things. If I buy a bag of bulk saffron what's to stop me from entering the code as cheerios?

DFA,

 

You've gotten meaner since I've known you. You have morphed like Al Gore, when he decided to talk tough and ugly. We want the sweet, medicated DFA back! fruit.gif

Dude, why d'you think they've got that old lady standing by the door greeting you when you walk in and saying bye when you leave? You pull the cereal-saffron switcheroo and she'll bust your shit faster than Mike Tyson at a pre-fight press conference. Don't push your luck. pitty.gif

yeah she looks tough. probably just has to pull a string and a portcullis falls down with boiling oil and everything.

 

i've set off those alarms before too when they forget to deactivate the little tabs on expensive stuff. walked in and out like 5 times with the thing going off, wondering when the guys in suits would show up. no one batted an eye. tight ship they run there.

It is kinda funny how the thing beeps and the checker just waves you through with barely a glance in your direction. Need to try rollin' through with a wheelbarrow full of tools from the home improvement department.

 

BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP!

 

"Oh, I paid for these over by the garden department"

 

"Hmph."

 

"Thanks!"

Allison,

 

Safeway, Albertsons, QFC (owned by Fred Meyers) are union. Fred Meyer grocery employees are union, but the non-food area employees are not, and are paid LESS than their grocery counterparts. Go figure! frown.gif

 

Wal Mart is expanding their operation and will soon be a dominant player in the state's grocery industry. Most existing stores will be full grocery operations within the next few years. I will NOT shop at Wal Mart. Although unions have their shortcomings, the treatment and pay that non union Wal Mart employees receive is sub-standard, to say the least.

 

Costco, while non union, seems to have a very equitable pay and benefits program for their employees. I occasionally shop there.

 

The pressure that Wal Mart is putting on other grocery retailers is tremendous. Sadly, it looks like Wal Mart's strong-arm tactics may spell doom for the Retail Grocery Clerks Union.

 

Oh yeah...I occasionally use the "U Scan".

Walmart and Sam's Club are pure evil.....if you do not believe me read In Sam We Trust , which give insights on everything from anti-unionism to sweatshop stuff, to driving small businesses into bankruptcy with brutal tactics.

 

On the other hand, both Costco and FedEx are non-union and treat their employees so well that I have no problem spending my money with them.

 

Thx FW, that is what I thought re Fred meyer's union employees.
