The fun is only at the very beginning phrase.

My suggestion - learn to code, I mean learn to plant. (if you haven't figured out an alternative food source by now... well, you better hope they keep this Titanic afloat)

I don't think the Amazon takeover was good for the brand, but if you want to kill it this strike should work.

When you're the most entitled grocery store clerk in America...

This is what happens.

They get paid $17 an hour where I live.

That's $10 over Federal minimum wage.

If my employees did this... I would just shut it down for a few weeks. Put the bank account on hold.

We will still have lots of jobs waiting to be done out in the filed when we reopen

That didn't work too well for the folks in California who went on strike quite a few years ago. They were asking consumers not to cross the picket line and were promptly told to frick right off.

Stores like Trader Joe's and other independents saw an uptick in sales and it never went back down.

Whole Foods is overpriced anyway. Can't be thankful they still have a job and income, just give me more.

Easily replaceable workers want double their pay? Let's see how this plays out.

I don’t really blame them given 1/2 the country or so is sitting at home in ‘safety’ while they have to plod on in the public virtually like nothing is going on in the world.

I remember when I first went in to one of these stores it smelt like weird vitamins and there was a dude playing bongo drums. the prices are ridiculous when you can find the same thing from the mom and pop farmers market.

Another shopping company is also trying this. Who knew derelicts who go and pick up groceries and deliver them could be Union(lol, cash grab by union).

While millions of Americans are out of work, these guys are voluntarily without work.

Bold strategy
