Acme is one of the worst places to shop. The quality is terrible. There is never any help and above it all the prices suck.
The company's motto should be "If you strike you're fired". Lots of people out of work that can stock a shelf of bag up bread and frozen pizza for the market value salary.
This would explain Acme's ridiculously high prices.
taxpaying voter, its easy to talk such smack... too bad you are an idiot. people have the right to work, AND be able to bargain with their companies. look into FDR and what people smarter then yourself know. if you are comparing wal mart to any local supermarket when it comes to prices, obviously the local markets will lose... soon wal mart will take your job too
md5210: I work at Acme in South Jersey it's not our fault there is never any help. Management as kept cutting hours to the point we barely have enought people there to run the store. I don't want to strike. But it's not like we're making 50k a year driving a Septa bus. I'm lucky if I bring in 14k a year(and that's before taxes and union dues). Other then the managers, nobody there is making a livable wage. If I wasn't living with my parents I couldn't afford to live in Camden on what I make there.
If you're a cashier considering striking in this day and age, be sure to take a look over at the self-checkout lanes on the way out the door. When you can be replaced by a computer that doesn't ask for health benefits or breaks, I'd be doing my best to find a new career path rather than trying to force my employer to pay me more.
andygradel: I don't want to strike, the ones pushing for the strike are the full time workers, who only make up about 20% of the employees in each store. And btw, I am looking for a new career path, I have a B.A. from Rutgers but because of the current economy I can't find a full time job anywhere so I'm stuck there
ACME: Atypically Cheap, Mainly Expensive. 'Nuff said.
Maybe these SmAcme guys should go work for SEPTA.
A strike just before Thanksgiving would certainly hurt the company. It would inconvenience YOUR customers, too! We just might have to shop elsewhere and find that we like a more friendly type of service. Look around you, morons, now is a pretty damn bad time to flex your union muscle!
Exactly like the SEPTA union, it is the democratic politicians who enable these filthy unions to get away with these greedy actions. Please remember these strikes the next time you go to vote and remember the filthy union cash and support given to democrats which enable these unions.
Phantoms29 - are you an adult? How can you function earning such a low salary? Why haven't you pursued something else? Why would you settle for a job that pays so low? I would just find something else. Surely any job you can do better! And PS: I was just unemployed for 10 mos. and found a GREAT job. But I know how to do more than just slide loaves of bread across a piece of glass until it goes "beep" !! Try harder!
the workers have the power here i believe....is there any grocery shopper on earth who is so dedicated to ANY particular market?? if the ACME is closed due to a strike i would drive right past it (remember to honk my support) to the 3-4 other markets in a mile or so radius around it where i live in south jersey....the company says that nobody wins in a strike but thats not true here. south jersey is not like inner city philly. everyone has a car in so. jersey so the only people who lose is ACME and the striking workers and ACME will lose more. i can buy milk and bread right down the street
ilovesalad thats not kool dude. at least phantom is working while trying to find a job in the field he has education in.
acme lost my business when they decided to rearrange the entire store. Not just one aisle, everything. I'll stick with Shoprite's better prices and better quality.
