Mike is a reader with a eat one's heart out memory. He shot me an email with a bold question, in actuality more of a challenge: "You still going to support the grocery workers this nevertheless around?"
Which is exactly what I had planned on doing, but it's now a moot point since the In agreement Food and Commercial Workers Union (UFCW) has reached a sell with the Ralphs, Vons and Albertsons people.
The strike has been struck.
Which is unspoilt news since I can't stomach Sugar Frosted Scab Flakes.
But Mike wasn't done. His spleen required a full venting, filled to the rim as it is with indignation at those "banana scanners" and "baloney slicers."
How dare grocery workers in reality fight cuts to their wages and health coverage! Don't they conscious of they're lucky to even have a job?
