Baked or Fry's?

I can't figure it out. I'm very stressed that my neighborhood Fry's will inconvenience me if they strike Friday. Safeway may strike too. I don't want to have to shop at Alberson's. I'm not a fan. I know the stores won't close because they are hiring people at $9.50 an hour to cross the picket line and work.

I agree that Corporate shouldn't make them pay between $5 and $15 a week for health insurance when they have never paid for that before. Most of the checkers make between $7 and $12 dollars an hour (according to the media) and that added expense seems too much. They should be eased into it.

Since I hate to grocery shop I'm afraid if I go into the store and fill my cart the long lines will make me just walk out, even though I need the essentials (like low fat wheat thins, coffee creamer and dry roasted peanuts, possibly milk for Pretty Girl). I did that at Costco the day before school started. The lines went all they way back into the books! That's too many people.

I'm not good in a crowd or at the mall. Crowds make me feel clostrophobic. I always feel I'll never get out of there. I have a fear of gas stations too. I'm afraid I will fall victim to a drive by shooting. I can't explain it.

So I'll just wait and see what happens. In the meantime I'll stock up on the essentials tomorrow, Veteran's Day. Good thing I'm off work.
