K,
I'm not flat out saying you're wrong. Maybe you're completely right, i was just responding a little critically. i find this discussion important as others chime in. i don't shop there, it's not in my hood, so i'm hardly the expert. if i did shop there i would be nosy as well and ask. T.J. has a point about talking to employees while they're on the clock.

what did the people picketing say about the situation? maybe there is a union that needs to be called out on their smack...
