Oh Mi! 2 of the places I frequently grocery shop have a union
strike
going
on. There are 3 stores involved. Shop 'n Save, Dierbergs Markets
and
Schnucks. I shop at Dierbergs and Schnucks frequently. They are on
limited hours 10am to 7pm with limited services. I'm avoiding them
like the plague. They want to pay their workers $0.25 per hour over
the next 3 years. Reduced health care also. Thank God the smaller
chains did not strike. Unfortunately my reputation at Straubs was
tarnished tonight. Carol (one of the check out people that has been
with Straubs 30 years) stated about my order "My God Michael, you
aren't eating are you"? She just gaped at my soy milk, lettuce,
scallions and Promise margarine. Poor thing, she's used to seeing
me
with red meat, flavored oils and cheese
from
acround the world. I didn't even have my usual Straubs Spinach
Salad
in the cart. *sigh* Low fat really sucks.

This won't get anyone back to work, but how is "Schnucks" pronounced.
To the non-local, it sure looks like 'schnooks'. ...and that cracks
me up.

Jack Schnook

Still better than that very fine family named Italian eatery in
Houston...Crapittos
Jack

LOL... Seriously? They named their restaurant Crapittos?

Michael

Yep...family name. I have not eaten there however it gets good reviews.
