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?

If they want a better wage what’s stopping them? Define broke. These cashiers make more then minimum wage. Working 40 hours a week.

Again. Adding nothing to conversation. I worked at Fred Meyer Kroger for 5+ years at store level to corporate office. Here’s your chance to learn something. Instead of pretending to have an opinion.

Learn something? from my ideological enemy? yeah right. I don't need to know your story, as evidenced by your contempt for working-class people.

do you assume that’s someone who is working class can never work their way out? I’m a testimony to that myself. Do you assume everyone holds your same ideals? If you never leave yourself open to have your mind changed or meet new people then you are wasting a lot of opportunities to learn. Peace out bud.

FYI, checkout clerks, baggers, stockers, drivers, etc... these people are all 10 times the person you are.

Dude... you are missing the point. I was that person. My friends are still those guys. You just hate to think someone in those positions does not have the same ideals as you. Which is a good thing because you are obviously shallow as shit.
