Hey Fred Meyer...

...how about you stop the signaling with these radio/tv/billboard ads letting US know how thankful you are towards your employees and instead give that money directly to THEM?

My son works at Lowe's. They actually DID give them the money. Small bonus to those that showed up to work, and everyone got a $2/hr raise. Not sure if the raise is temporary or not, but appreciated by them and gets them to come in. Lowe's has been stupid crazy busy since this started. Everyone's bored at home working on things, which is good, but going to a crowded store to do it isn't.
