ParticipantI agree, it is hopeless. The best thing you can do is taking care of your own finance.
[quote=Ren]If the staffers passed on the message to their queens, I’m guessing it resulted in a smirk and a chuckle at best. Asking them to stop taking your money and giving it to other people is like asking you to stop breathing.
If a thousand people called, they would just hire more staffers, and continue taking your money.[/quote]

ParticipantGlobalization causes wage deflation. Not because you and I shop at Walmart. You and other Walmart haters can spend your money at Ralphs and I will keep my extra $1800/year in my pocket. Wage deflation at the lower end of the labor market happens regardless. The problem is that we have too many unskilled workers.
[quote=CA renter][quote=jimmyle]I never shop Vons and Ralphs again. I either shop at Asian Supermarkets, Costco or Walmart. I usually save about 20 to 25% ($150/month) by not shopping at Vons and Ralphs.
Why should I spend $150 extra monthly to help unionized workers at Vons and Ralphs to bag grocery, stock the shelves or clean the floor when they can hire people to do the same things for half the cost? The same thing is happening at unionized GM and Chrysler, why should tax payers giving the two companies more than $50 bil so uneducated workers can make $30/hour in wages + $35/hour in benefits? Can you believe benefits cost more than the salary? Mine is about 35% of my salary and I am happy.[/quote]
Why should you support union shops instead of Wal-Mart?
Because that $150/month you save today may end up costing you $300/month in wages a few years from now.
Wage deflation in this globalized world moves from the lowest tier to the highest tier. When you cheer on wage deflation for the supermarket clerks, just know that your job may be next. Everyone’s job can be outsourced to cheaper labor. From CEOs on down, **everyone** will be affected.[/quote]

ParticipantCheese made with no cheese? I have never seen that.
I am talking about the same items that cost much less at Walmart or Costco. Try to buy a box of cereal at Ralphs and then at Walmart. You will save at least 50 cents at Walmart. And don’t tell me that the eggs and milk are Walmart are inferior.
Eating out at Fastfoods or high end restaurants is an entirely different matter.

Make sure you read the labels. Walmart sells processed cheese (not very healthy food to start with) slices made with no cheese. There is only so much produce, labor (applies to kids working in the fields as well) and quality control that $.88 can buy
Why should you spend more? Do you tip when you dine out? Do you eat out in fast food places only?[/quote]
