As an unrepentant alcoholic, I frequent a few of the State Stores around my area. The workers are a bunch of unemployables and incompetents. If it were not for their union, they would be in their mothers basement. They don't know what work is.
I have to say that at my local state store - Noble Manor Shopping Center in Greentree near Pittsburgh- the clerks have been pretty good. Yes there are the ones who make you want to scream but most have been really nice.
Of course the good ones get rotated out....
