Don't blame the store
Blame the unions, Wal-mart can give better prices because they don't have all the overhead that the other stores do...Because the unions think that a person deserves 20 bucks an hour plus full beni's to put flour on a shelf. And every single time one of these stupid strikes happens Your grocery bill goes up and up. I am sorry but a basic position derserves basic wages. If that person cannot move up through the ranks why should they make top dollar? The unions were needed at one time but now are quite simply in the way. They are destroying jobs, Not making them. They put places out of business with these crazy requests. Ask GM, Ask Ford, look what what the unions have done to them. Look at all the jobs lost because the UNions would not give. Blame the right people, And when You pay 12 bucks for a steak...Thank Your local union.
