There was a time when these people needed to have the ability to type fast on those 10-key cash registers. But now all they do is scan merchandise. A retarded monkey could do that job.

They don't even need to do any customer service. When was the last time you couldn't find something at the grocery store and a helpful employee asked if you needed assistance? Well, it happened to me once: during the first week of the strike, a "scab" asked me if I needed help immediately upon me entering the store.

I'm staying with Ralphs. They offer double coupons, they print out $5 off coupons every time I shop there, and last week they were giving away free eggs. They also were selling 30 packs of beer for $9.99.
You have no idea how hard it is to be a worker at Vons. Especially a checker. Dont go making statements you cannot prove or know nothing of.
