Hey all,
Pro-union employees tend to be rather disgruntled anyway, so they
probably weren't giving their jobs the proper attention, which led to
the firings. Personally, I shop at Tower because my WXPN (local public
radio station, home of the World Cafe, yea!)member card allows me a 10%
discount. So, the place where I can get the lowest price will get my
business, sorry I don't have much money to burn since the gov't is
taxing the hell out of me (another subject entirely).
