Actually, K. I think this is a little self-serving. You like to shop at the Old Town TI. It has lots of tasty imported goodies you enjoy. You've already said as much. And And you'd hate to have to switch...for whatever reasons. I think we get the picture here.

(incidentally, come to my retail job as customer while I'm on the clock, and I and my co-workers will all tell you that we ABSOlUTELY love our jobs and like our management, -- see, no matter how regular you are as a customer, that really doesn't make you our friend, co-worker, or someone we might share sentiments with that might cost us our jobs. It's called discretion and survival. }

So why does it seem that you'd like others here to sign off on your choice to continue shopping at an anti-union store? A little liberal guilt?Either you have principles that are important to you or not. Life's full of little compromises, but selling out for a pound of French Roast, or tri-color pasta seems bit cheap.

(BTW) There are more TI stores than the Old Town location. You might try talking to their employees as well.
