Do I have to stop shopping at Trader Joses?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago

I stopped when they closed their Seattle store. There was talk about unionization and they shut the store down.

Fuck Trader Joe's

Right!?! But where else where I shop? And are any of the other grocery stores any better with their treatment of workers?

The big ones donate to some really shitty causes too.

New Seasons seems alright so far. And maybe Costco, but I've also heard they're not as good as some people claim.

There is quite literally nowhere to shop if you boycott every grocer that is anti Union and/or treats their workers like shit. Not one place besides maybe a mom and pop grocer with not everything you need that costs 2x as much...

Here ya go. Anti union shitheads is my takeaway

Without even reading the article, I can agree with that. Why can’t we just deport Musk?

All grocery workers should be unionized.
Not sure, but I'm willing to bet Costco employees remain the least exploited, though you can't find everything there.
