Well, I got a little insight into it yesterday when someone told me they had gotten a flier a year ago. So I guess somebody has been keeping employees and customers aware of what is going on and keeping them motivated. It makes more sense to know that there was organization. See and they didn't even need a union. I think they did better than any union in stirring up the troops.

I'm a customer and I didn't have a clue that all this would happen.

My only motivation was to get some Turkey thighs at MB...I sure do miss them. No one cooks them like MB in Rochester.

Hundreds of Market Basket employees received letters Tuesday giving them the ultimatum of returning to work by Friday or losing their jobs.

Will they return to work??

Went shopping at Hannaford in Alton today and had a hard time finding a parking spot.

I make a comment to the cashier that they are getting a lot of MB customers here today and she said: "MB will be Hannaford pretty soon".

I said: "Why did you say that?"

She said: "Because Hannaford put bid in for MB."

We'll see I guess.

Yeah, we should always go by what the cashiers say, even when it rings up wrong.

Hannaford won't have to get rid of any MB employees, there won't be any left to after next week.
