Yes, "there" should be "their" - just a typo and warding off the grammar police...

Yeah, but they'll get you for starting a sentence with "So". The FRGP will be after you! :)

At a non-union supermarket near my home, all of the checkstands are usually manned.

...adding, "except for Walmart". That alone is the main reason I hate going there.

“musta been one hell of a CEO...”

Went to grade school with him. His dad, Mike, was a great man. And, yeah, Artie T. is (was) a helluva CEO.

“Maybe he attends a **Christian** church!”

Lame crap.

Arthur T. Demoulos is greek along with his cousins including Artur S. Demoulos whoo has taken control of the company. I suspect they are both active in the Greek Orthodox Church in America. This is not about religion.

Read the back story before making stupid comments.

“I wonder what shareholders are saying to the board?” There are no public shareholders. This company is owned by two factions of one family as noted above.

Great Link!!

Great photos, looks like Artie’s guys are going to be buying it.

Thanks Sam Adams, this story brightened my whole day.

I guess they really liked that guy. You are right, it is a strange story.

But, if they are not in a union, why doesn’t the store just fire them all?

I’m sure they could be easily replaced in this labor market. Or by some border jumping teenagers.

They are technically open and the employees are earning wages for their shifts, but they are standing outside the stores and urging customers to not go inside

They are getting paid to destroy their business... weird

Sounds like Artie's side are the conservatives, and the other side are liberal tyrants.
