If you don't know what the issues were they were striking over, leave and find out before you patronize the business. Your actions were shameful. No cutesy poo food article is worth doing what you did. Disgusting. It’s disgraceful to see the way you blithely crossed a picket line using your ignorance of the labor dispute as an excuse.

(and formerly a subsidiary of Albertsons). They refuse to hire union members, which means that employees do not get the benefits of a basic living wage, union health care, or retirement plans. If you plan on buying food products that are high in quality and, by extension, slightly higher in cost, also realize that "quality" should mean that the entire chain leading up to your food purchase should imply a guaranteed quality of life for the workers who prepare your food.

If you are in the food business and want your product in there be prepared to bend over and take it. The buyer actually asked how deep our pockets were. I said not deep enough for you and moved on---no way would I ever play their game. I will NEVER shop at Bristol Farms.

Also, is it just me or is the hallway in between the two parts of the store a wierd, bad idea?
