      Until they install self-shelf-stocking and self-driving-the-fucking-trucks-to-the-store, I think the cashiers will be able to find other ways to be useful.

    If Fred Meyer and QFC (Kroger’s regional brands) are going to stay open, what does this strike mean? Just picketers outside the stores?

      They’ll ship in non-union employees (either managers or those who have chosen to leave it) and run the store with that skeleton crew, possibly rush-hiring non-union employees too.
